Mantle plumes: a multidisciplinary approach

by Christensen, Ulrich R. Ritter, Joachim R. R.

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

The concept of mantle plumes, hot buoyant rock masses that rise in the mantle, is a key to understand intraplate volcanism in the framework of modern plate tectonics. Progress in analytical and satellite technology enables scientists to verify the plume hypothesis with sophisticated techniques. This book presents an overview on these studies.
