Collapse and resurgence of the Iceland mantle plume
C. In contrast, basalts recovered from younger (i.e. 0-14 Ma) sites show unequivocal evidence for plume influence. Together, these results imply dramatic changes in the extent of plume-ridge interaction across the North Atlantic region, providing key chemical constraints for geodynamic models of plume evolution and its imprint upon the geological record.
