... hotter than surrounding rock, much the way wax rises in a lava lamp. 2. As the hot mantle rock rises, it feels less pressure (it decompresses), yet its temperature doesn't change much. This causes it to partially melt (about 20% of it melts). When ultramafic mantle partially melts, mafic composition ...
