Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Geophysical observation has suggested that the mantle transition zone beneath NE China is hydrous, and intraplate magmatism of this region has been caused by a transition zone-derived mantle plume. In this study, petrological and geochemical analyses were carried out on basaltic rocks in NE China to estimate the water content of the mantle transition zone. It is suggested that the water content of the source mantle is up to 350 ppm, which is significantly higher than that of the normal upper mantle (~120 ppm). As a preliminary result, the water content of the mantle transition zone of ~0.7 wt.% is obtained.
