Plume-driven recratonization of deep continental lithospheric mantle

Jingao Liu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role of plume upwelling in the destruction and recratonization of roughly 200-kilometre-thick cratonic lithospheric mantle in the northern portion of the Slave craton affected by the Mackenzie plume event 1.27 billion years ago. The research shows how new melt residues produced by the plume event contribute to the healing and return to their original lithospheric thickness of cratons after substantial disruption of their roots. The findings suggest that this process may be widespread in the history of cratons and contribute to the diversity of mantle peridotites in terms of age and origin.

Global mantle convection models produce transform offsets along divergent plate boundaries

Sean M. Langemeyer et al.

Summary: This study suggests that mantle convection can lead to the movement of lithosphere, resulting in dynamically derived plate boundaries with contrasting superficial structure that can distinguish between convergence and divergence.
