Co-Occurrence of HIMU and EM1 Components in a Single Magellan Seamount: Implications for the Formation of West Pacific Seamount Province

Xun Wei et al.

Summary: Our study shows that the lavas from the Pako guyot within the Magellan seamount trail exhibit a wide compositional spectrum. For the first time, both HIMU and EM1-like mantle plume components are found in a single seamount. The Magellan seamounts are likely derived from partial melting of a heterogeneous mantle plume containing multiple components.

A Complex Mantle Plume Head Below East Africa-Arabia Shaped by the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary Topography

Chiara Civiero et al.

Summary: Hot plumes rising from Earth's deep mantle can cause uplift, rifting, and the formation of large igneous provinces (LIP). Through new technology, researchers have discovered hot, partially molten rock corridors in the East Africa-Arabia region, which are fed by three mantle upwellings. This suggests that complex-shaped plume heads can explain the scattered volcanism in broad areas and may be an inherent feature of plume-continent interaction.

Arclogites and their role in continental evolution; part 2: Relationship to batholiths and volcanoes, density and foundering, remelting and long-term storage in the mantle

Mihai N. Ducea et al.

Summary: Arclogites are rock formations resembling eclogites, formed at the roots of thick arcs as ultramafic residues. They play an important complementing role in subduction zones by representing the volatile mineral residues left behind after magma extraction.

Leucite basanites of Virunga (East African Rift): some insights into petrogenesis and source composition

N. S. Muravyeva et al.

Summary: The detailed investigation of leucite basanites from the Visoke and Muhavura volcanoes in the Virunga province revealed that the rocks are likely derived from an enriched mantle source and have been contaminated by deep metamorphic rocks. The isotopic composition suggests a complex origin involving processes such as mantle melting, fractional crystallization, magma mixing, and crustal contamination.

Body-Wave Tomographic Imaging of the Turkana Depression: Implications for Rift Development and Plume-Lithosphere Interactions

R. Kounoudis et al.

Summary: The Turkana Depression is a wide, low-lying topographic feature that presents a mystery regarding the evolution of rifting between the Main Ethiopian Rift and Eastern Rift. Studies suggest the presence of mantle melt in the region, affecting velocity anomalies, and the influence of refractory Proterozoic lithosphere. The distribution of low wavespeed zones may be related to lithospheric thin-spots induced by multiple rifting phases, suggesting that the Depression may not lack mantle dynamic support.

Petrogenesis of primitive lavas from the Toro Ankole and Virunga Volcanic Provinces: Metasomatic mineralogy beneath East Africa's Western Rift

Erica Pitcavage et al.

Summary: Geochemical analysis of magmas erupted in continental rifts provides insights into the compositional, physical, and thermal controls on rift related magmatism. By studying lavas from volcanic fields in the Western Rift of the East African Rift System, researchers can understand the sources and processes of magmas in the region, as well as the spatial variability of metasomatic history of the lithospheric mantle. The lava compositions reflect significant input from metasomatized sub-continental lithospheric mantle, with minor geographic and compositional trends apparent in the temporal development of the volcanic fields.

A tree of Indo-African mantle plumes imaged by seismic tomography

Maria Tsekhmistrenko et al.

Summary: Indo-African mantle upwellings are found to have a tree-like structure through seismic tomographic imaging, potentially indicating the linear staggered detachment of proto-plumes from the lowermost mantle. Hotspots are spatially correlated with slow seismic wave propagation zones in the lowermost mantle, possibly representing heat reservoirs feeding mantle plumes. However, imaging the plume conduits remains challenging due to their location beneath unmonitored oceans.

A subduction influence on ocean ridge basalts outside the Pacific subduction shield

A. Y. Yang et al.

Summary: The plate tectonic cycle produces chemically distinct mid-ocean ridge basalts and arc volcanics, with the latter enriched in specific elements due to water-rich flux from subduction. The influence of subduction can be identified in Arctic Gakkel Ridge samples, indicating a pervasive subduction effect in the region and an absence of it in Pacific mid-ocean ridge basalts. The geographical distribution of subduction-modified mantle heterogeneity is controlled by a long-standing subduction shield around the Pacific Ocean.
