地幔柱学说的发展

Plate; Plume; Emeishan flood basalt

随着板块构造的发展和成熟，人们对地球表层的认识已经逐渐清晰起来，地球深层的动力机制还在进一步的认识中，地幔柱是个很值得研究的理论，从热点学说到地幔柱再到超级地幔柱和地幔柱构造，尽管地幔柱在解释地球现象的时候还有很多不尽人意的地方．更需要我们积极的去怀疑或者证实。峨眉山玄武岩被认为是地幔柱头的结果，它的喷发持续时间，物质来源，和古地磁的关系，和生物灭绝的关系以及潘基亚大陆的演化还在进一步的研究中。

Scientists have seen the upmost part of the earth with the development and maturity of the plate tectonics. Research on the dynamic of the deep mantle is going on. From hot spots to mantle plumes, from super plumes to plume tectonics, the theory developed progressively, although there is some dissatisfactory detail in the theory. Emeishan flood basalt is thought to be the result of Emeishan plume which exist 260Ma ago. The erupting time, where the lava came, and the relationship with the paleomagnetism and species extinction are under research.
