Research Abstract |
We have successfully estimated the mantle isotopic compositions and their global distribution, based on the compositions of arc volcanic rocks, by evaluating the slab-derived components. A combined analysis with oceanic basalts has revealed for the first time the presence of east-west hemispherical structure: the mantle in the eastern hemisphere is enriched in subducted hydrophile components, being possibly brought into the mantle by focused subduction towards the supercontinent once existed in the eastern hemisphere, whereas that in the western hemisphere is not.
