Lavas from hotspots worldwide likely originate from a single, uniform reservoir in Earth's mantle.
This reservoir is consistent across different regions, such as Hawaii, Samoa, and Iceland.
Chemical Homogeneity of the Mantle
The findings suggest the Earth's mantle is more chemically homogenous than previously thought.
Lavas acquire their unique chemical characteristics as they rise through the mantle and crust.
Significance of Mantle Composition
Knowledge of the mantle's composition is crucial for understanding how Earth formed.
This knowledge also helps us understand the mantle's evolution over time.
