Answer:
- Common silicates found in the mantle include olivine, garnet, and pyroxene.
- The other major type of rock found in the mantle is magnesium oxide. Other mantle elements include iron, aluminium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
- The Earth's mantle plays an important role in the evolution of the crust and provides the thermal and mechanical driving forces for plate tectonics.
- The mantle is also the graveyard for descending lithospheric slabs, and the fate of these slabs in the mantle is a subject of ongoing discussion and controversy.
- Because subducted plates are relatively cool, they decrease the temperature of nearby mantle, leaving relatively warm mantle in the regions between two subduction zones.
