Cenozoic Uplift and Volcanism of Hangai Dome, Central Mongolia Triggered by Lower Mantle Upwellings

Abstract The mechanisms of surface uplift of Hangai Dome (>2 km) and formation of Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in central Mongolia remain vigorously debated. Here we directly investigate the mantle transition zone (MTZ) structure beneath central Mongolia to explore whether the deep mantle geodyn...
