The 14 pages that link to Decompression melting, each with the reason it gives.

• Mantle plumeRelated: How ascending plume material generates magma on the way up.

• VolcanismRelated: It produces magma beneath spreading ridges and some volcanic regions.

• Hotspot volcanismRelated: Upwelling mantle can melt as pressure falls beneath a hotspot.

• Continental riftingRelated: Rising mantle may melt beneath rifts and supply volcanic rocks.

• Flood basaltRelated: Rising mantle can partially melt and supply the enormous magma volumes.

• PeridotiteRelated: It is a major way rising mantle peridotite produces basaltic magma.

• VolcanologyRelated: It generates much of the magma beneath spreading ridges and volcanic hotspots.

• Hotspot (geology)Related: Rising mantle can melt by decompression, supplying magma beneath a hotspot.

• Divergent boundaryRelated: It generates much of the basaltic magma at divergent boundaries.

• Large igneous provinceRelated: Rising mantle can partially melt and supply the large volumes of magma.

• Fissure ventRelated: It generates magma beneath many rift-related fissure eruptions.

• Continental riftRelated: Mantle upwelling beneath some rifts produces magma by this process.
