Chapter 11 : Geochemistry of the Solid Earth I : The Mantle and Core

By White, W. M.

Description
Physics Literature

Excerpt
Introduction: Though sizable pieces of mantle occasionally crop out on the Earth?s surface as alpine massifs or ophiolites, and small pieces, xenoliths, are occasionally brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions, much of what we know about the mantle has been deduced indirectly. Indirect methods of study include determination of geophysical properties such as heat flow, density and seismic velocity. Another indirect method of study is examination of volcanic rocks produced by partial melting of the mantle. Finally, the composition of chondrites is an important constraint on the composition of the mantle.
