Advance in Research on Mantle Plume Hypothesis and Emeishan Mantle Plume

The authenticity of mantle plume hypothesis has been one of the popular problems in the research of professors. This paper make a exposition of presentation and evolution of mantle plume hypothesis. In recent years, the hypothesis and quantification of mantle plume, by numerical modeling, has verified the feasibility of mantle plume hypothesis. And through the deep-detection method to perfect mantle plume model. Emeishan mantle plume has been highly studied in our country. Through the research of Emeishan basalt to explain the relationship between mantle plume and geological process. Combined geophysical method with geology and geochemistry is a new approach to do further research of mantle plume as well as to explore deep mineral resources.
