Abstract

The magmas that erupt from volcanoes on Earth originate primarily through partial melting processes initiated in the Earth's mantle. This chapter will discuss the structure and physical properties of the Earth's upper mantle that influence magma generation, physical mechanisms leading to melting, and the chemical compositions of mantle melts.
