Deep mantle earthquakes linked to CO2 degassing at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Abstract Volatiles (CO2, H2O) play a fundamental role in mantle melting beneath ocean spreading centers, but what role they play during the melt migration remains unknown. Using seismological data recorded by ocean-bottom seismometers, here we report the presence of deep earthquakes at 10–20 km dept...
