Continental flood basalts derived from the hydrous mantle transition zone
2015
The Earth’s mantle transition zone may play a key role in large-scale intraplate magmatism and plate tectonics. Here, the authors provide evidence for the origin of continental flood basalts in this zone, by combining oxygen isotope and geochemical evidence from the late Cenozoic Chifeng volcanics of East Asia.
