What evidence could confirm the existence of mantle plumes?
Because for the last 30 years scientistshave confirmed the existence of mantle plumes.Visual evidence.
What are plumes of molten rock originating deep within the mantle known as?
mantle plumes
What forms to a mantle plume?
Mantle plumes result in the formation of hot spots.
Area in the Earth's mantle hot enough to melt rock into magma and create volcanoes?
All of the Earth's mantle is hot. And while some geologists believe that there are Mantle plumes (or hot spots) current evidence seems to support a view that mantle plumes do not exist. What causes magma to rise up from the lower crust and mantle is the convection of the mantle and therefore the places where most heat (and magma) is coming up to the surface is along the mid oceanic ridges.
What are examples of islands that were formed by mantle plumes?
i dont stupid know
