Shallow lithospheric contribution to mantle plumes revealed by integrating seismic and geochemical data
[1] Using an integrated geophysical and geological approach based on a comparative analysis of 27 different parameters, we investigate both the location and origin of the source material for hot spot volcanoes. We report a significant correlation between extreme geochemical compositions of lavas with both shallow seismic velocities and the depth extent to which a hot spot source can be traced w...
متن کاملERI Summer 2017 Fellowship Report
Introduction Ocean island basalts (OIB) are thought to sample the Earth’s deep mantle, whereby thermochemical plumes entrain lower mantle material and bring it to the surface where it erupts. By measuring the isotopic compositions of global OIB—which record the isotopic compositions of OIB mantle sources—geochemists can “map” the isotopic heterogeneity of the Earth’s deep mantle (e.g., Gast et ...
متن کاملDynamic Earth: crustal and mantle heterogeneity*
The dynamic processes within the Earth leave their record in geophysical and geochemical variation about the general stratification with depth. A snapshot of current structure is provided by geophysical evidence, whereas geochemical information provides a perspective over the age of the Earth. The combination of information on the distribution of heterogeneity from geophysical and geochemical s...
متن کاملSeismological Insights into Heterogeneity Patterns in the Mantle
Both geophysical and geochemical techniques contribute to our understanding of the complex nature of the Earth’s mantle, but the two sources of information provide very different viewpoints. Most geophysical evidence provides an instantaneous snapshot of current structure, whilst geochemical evidence has much more information on age. Further, geophysical probes are naturally integrative since t...
متن کاملPetrogenesis of mantle peridotites from the South of Jazmourian, Makran accretionary prism, Iran
Mantle peridotites exposed in south Jazmourian comprise of lherzolite and porphyroclastic Cpx-bearing harzburgite in the lower part with chromitite lenses in the upper parts. Petrography and microprobe studies shows evidence of melt-peridotite interactions; post melting processes and subsolidus interactions, which has been associated with appearance of two generations of deformed primary pyroxe...
