Laboratory-Scale Simulation of Spiral Plumes in the Mantle
On the basis of laboratory simulation a mechanism is established for the formation of the upper mantle convection spiral plumes from a hot point in the presence of a roll-type large-scale convective flow. The observed plume has horizontal sections near the upper limit, which may lead to the formatio...

| Zusammenfassung: | On the basis of laboratory simulation a mechanism is established for the
formation of the upper mantle convection spiral plumes from a hot point in the
presence of a roll-type large-scale convective flow. The observed plume has
horizontal sections near the upper limit, which may lead to the formation of
chains of volcanic islands. |
