The mechanism facilitating the smooth movement of the oceanic lithosphere over the underlying asthenosphere (upper mantle) remains poorly understood. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated the ...
A record-breaking drilling attempt, which dug more than a kilometer into an underwater mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, has given scientists a treasure trove of rocks to study for clues to Earth's ...

Mantle 'chemical patchiness': Study provides first direct evidence of its spatial scale
A joint research group has identified that the spatial scale of "heterogeneity" in the upper mantle, caused by a large-scale flow called a mantle plume rising from deep Earth, is less than 10 ...
The upper plane is the three-dimensional visualizations of the S-wave velocity model, and points mark the ages of exposed post-collisional magmatic rocks. The lower plane is the geodynamic ...
