Vertical depletion of ophiolitic mantle reflects melt focusing and interaction in sub-spreading-center asthenosphere

Upward depletion of ophiolitic mantle is produced by melt-peridotite reaction with lateral melt/rock ratio variations in an asthenospheric upwelling column, which flows to become the horizontal oceanic lithospheric mantle under spreading centers.
