Web15 nov. 2024 · These results can be interpreted as evidence supporting destabilization of lithosphere root at cratonic and off-cratonic mantle globally since ∼2 Ga with an extent of thinning by up to ∼150 km. Combined with the concurrent increases of kimberlite volcanism frequency and cold subduction flux, our results suggest that the asthenosphere-derived … Web(2) For moderately warmlithosphere(e.g.,averagePhanerozoiclithosphere)inwhichthelithosphereroothasalowdensity,only the lithosphere may melt. (3) If the lithosphere root has a high density in moderately warm lithosphere, only asthenosphere melt is predicted. (4) For cold lithosphere (e.g., …
