Definition of mantle plume in English English dictionary

An upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the Earth's mantle

(Jeoloji) A mantle plume is an upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the Earth's mantle. As the heads of mantle plumes can partly melt when they reach shallow depths, they are often invoked as the cause of volcanic centers known as hotspots and their related flood basalts, though there is some scientific debate about this. They may be far from tectonic plate boundaries
