Scientists in Australia have identified a possible cause of gigantic volcanic eruptions - mysterious 'blobs' about 1,200 ...

Mantle plumes were the implicit link in previous studies relating BLOBS to giant volcanic eruptions. Their shape is a bit ...

Giant, large-scale eruptions can have more serious impacts. One such event contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs 66 ...

Scientists have traced a 60-million-year volcanic trail from Iceland to Ireland to a deep mantle plume that shaped the North Atlantic.

Mantle plumes are mysterious upwellings of molten rock believed to transmit heat from the core-mantle boundary to the Earth’s surface, far from the edges of tectonic plates.

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown revealed himself to be the owner of perhaps the most vulgar piece of sports memorabilia of all time during a recent podcast appearance. When asked about his most ...

Utilizing seismic refraction/wide-angle reflection data from 11 approximately in-line earthquakes, 2-D P- and S-velocity models and a Poisson′s ratio model of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath ...

We propose that deep mantle convective currents, traced to the Réunion plume and imaged as large-scale low-velocity anomalies from the upper mantle under the Indian Plate downward toward the uppermost ...

The spatial correlation of the widespread partial melting imaged in the crust and uppermost mantle and young exposed magmatic rocks in the Hoh-Xil Basin suggests that lithospheric mantle removal ...
