- W2289318345 abstract "he two main sites of the upwelling in the earth mantle are the mid-ocean ridges and the intraplate hotspots, or oceanic islands. Due to different geochemical composition of the basalt in these two sites, we use two different abbreviated terms to describe the lava from these two environments: the MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) and the OIB (Ocean-Island Basalt). In general, geochemists believe that the MORBs come from the upwelling of the shallow convection cell within the upper reservoir, while the OIBs come from the upwelling of the deep-seated upwelling plumes from the lower reservoir. The main proof by which geochemists stand for their idea is: the MORBs are depleted in incompatible elements, such as uranium and thorium, while OIBs are relatively enriched in these elements. This gives a reasonable interpretation for different sources of these two basalts. Besides, the terrestrial heat flow studies also support this idea. The approximately 36 TW of mantle heat output could not be possibly achieved only by the MORB source material, for too few radioactive heat sources; the remainders are thought to be contributed by the deeper materials which are not sampled by the mid-ocean ridge, but instead, by the deep-seated plumes. Therefore, what would be the boundary of the upper and lower convection cells? Several possibilities are provided by geochemists. The 660-km discontinuity is believed to be the most promising boundary between these two reservoirs, for clear olivine phase change from spinel to perovskite and magnesowustite (γ→pv+mw). Recently, a 1600-km barrier was proposed by Kellogg et al. Numerical modeling of the thermochemical convection implies an intrinsically dense layer in the lower mantle, enriched in heat producing elements. The top of this layer ranges from ~1600 km to near CMB, often deflected by downwelling slabs, with plumes developing around local high spots (Fig. 1). Till now, the viewpoints of the geochemists seem clear. However, accompanied with the progress of computer hardware, geophysicians developed the technique of tomography in order to do the “body scanning” inside the earth’s depth. During the past two decades, plenty of interesting results have been published, within most of them are against the double layer convection hypothesis." @default.
