A new study shows that large-scale upwelling within Earth's mantle mostly occurs in only two places: Beneath Africa and the Central Pacific. These upwelling locations have remained remarkably ...

It's thought that mantle upwelling beneath the High Atlas, more so than the slow convergence, is a main reason why these peaks reach as high as they do. By examining geodetic and seismic data ...

Three significant new findings of our study are that: (1) mantle upwelling and asthenospheric flow are skewed beneath the plate boundary, and thus the delivery of mantle melt is in many places not ...

The hotter temperatures of the transition zone likely facilitated an "upwelling" of hot rock from Earth's lower mantle to its upper mantle that actively pushed the plates apart, Agius said.

Researchers at NASA have discovered a huge upwelling of hot rock under Marie ... The presence of a huge mantle plume could explain why the region is so unstable today, and why it collapsed so ...

Researchers have found fresh evidence that Africa is breaking apart because of a deep mantle superplume of hot rock beneath ...

“This stability is directly linked to and controlled by mantle upwelling,” or the release of heat from Earth’s core through the mantle to the surface. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, particularly in the South ...

Honolulu, HI – A study published in Nature today shares the discovery that large-scale upwelling within Earth's mantle mostly occurs in only two places: beneath Africa and the Central Pacific.
