Hydrous Regions of the Mantle Transition Zone Lie Beneath Areas of Continental Intraplate Volcanism by Helene Wang, Valentina Magni, Clinton P. Conrad, Mathew Domeier

“…This allows us to construct global maps of heterogeneous MTZ hydration, which we then compare to IPV eruption locations from the past 200 Myr. We detect a statistically significant correlation between wet MTZ regions and IPV locations at the surface, but only if slabs sink faster than 1 cm/yr, water remains stored in the MTZ for periods of 30–100 Myr, and IPV eruptions occur 10–30 Myr later. …”
