Abstract:Mantle peridotites exposed on the Earth s surface are fossilized mantle materials. Records of pressure-temperature-deformation histories (P-T-d-t paths) preserved in mantle peridotites reveal dynamic motion within the mantle with association of deformation, changes in pressure and temperature, and magma-related processes. Reconstruction of such P-T-d-t paths for mantle peridotites backward from the moment of fossilization through exhumation as far back in time as possible, will expand the current understanding… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
