Consequences of mantle heterogeneity for melt extraction at mid-ocean ridges
Evidence for chemical heterogeneity of the mantle is found at most mid-ocean ridges, yet we are only beginning to develop a theoretical understanding of how this heterogeneity affects basalt petrogenesis. In particular, the consequences of heterogeneity for magma transport through the mantle are not...
