Mantle Upwelling

Mantle Upwelling is a geophysical process in which buoyant, thermally activated mantle material rises from deeper regions of the Earth's interior toward the surface, driven by thermal convection and decompression melting, particularly beneath divergent plate boundaries such as mid-ocean ridges and continental rift zones.
