Excerpt

The Yellowstone hotspot commonly is thought to result from a stationary mantle plume rooted in the lower mantle over which North America moves. Yet Yellowstone's initiation and its association with the “backward” propagating Newberry hotspot across eastern Oregon pose difficult questions to those explaining Yellowstone as a simple consequence of a deep-seated plume. Teleseismic investigations across the Yellowstone topographic swell reveal:(1) the swell is held up by buoyant mantle of two types—partially molten mantle (of …
