The energetics of melting fertile heterogeneities within the depleted mantle
To explore the consequences of mantle heterogeneity for primary melt production, we develop a mathematical model of energy conservation for an upwelling, melting body of recycled oceanic crust embedded in the depleted upper mantle. We consider the end-member geometric cases of spherical blobs and ta...
