Hotspots and mantle plumes revisited: Towards reconciling the mantle heat transfer discrepancy

MJ Hoggard, R Parnell-Turner, N White - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2020 - Elsevier
Mantle convection is the principal mechanism by which heat is transferred from the deep
Earth to the surface. Cold subducting slabs sink into the mantle and steadily warm, whilst …

province and the Ferrar large igneous province (Antarctica) require mantle potential …

Major influence of plume‐ridge interaction, lithosphere thickness variations, and global mantle flow on hotspot volcanism—The example of T ristan

R Gassmöller, J Dannberg, E Bredow… - Geochemistry …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Hotspot tracks are thought to originate when mantle plumes impinge moving plates.
However, many observed cases close to mid‐ocean ridges do not form a single age …
