English term or phrase: mantle plume
Definition from Digital Atlas of Idaho:
A buoyant mass of hot mantle material that rises to the base of the lithosphere. Mantle plumes commonly produce volcanic activity and structural deformation in the central part of lithospheric plates.

Example sentence(s):
  • Scientists believe mantle plumes can last hundreds of millions of years, and that their heat can create phenomena such as Yellowstone National Park or the string of Hawaiian Islands. Science Centric
  • Above a certain depth, the head of the plume begins to melt and spread out under the crust, until it finds a crack and pours through. The theory of mantle plumes predicts an initial flood of lava lasting tens of millions of years, which means that each hot spot should have an associated flood basalt. University of California
  • The first few million years of a newly arrived mantle plume seem to be the most fertile in terms of magma production and flood basalts are therefore formed in a very short period of geological time. The Geological Society

plášťový chochol


Definition from Wikipedia:
Plášťový chochol či nesprávně plášťová pluma je oblast teplejšího materiálu v plášti Země (nebo jiné planety), která stoupá vzhůru k povrchu a může mít za následek vznik vulkanických center zvaných horké skvrny nebo také záplavových bazaltů.

Example sentence(s):
  • Havajské sopky mají hluboké kořeny Proud roztavených hornin se z nich na povrch dere nejčastěji v místech, kde se pod sebe podsunují litosférické desky. Jak ale vysvětlit vznik sopek uprostřed těchto desek? Odpovědí je teorii hlubinného magmatismu, takzvané „plášťové chocholy“. - Internet

Notes to answerer
Jiri Farkac Neměl jsem na mysli nepřekládat tento pojem, ale jen to, že nechápu, proč kdosi vybírá k překladu do jakéhosi glosáře pojmy, které jsou většinou čistě slovníkové - tedy lze je najít v každém lepším slovníku. Oceňuji tedy vaši práci, kterou jste si dal s rozsáhlou odpovědí, i když to byla práce celkem zbytečná.


Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Jiri Farkac: Ano, ale je to zbytečné, protože se jedná o slovníkový výraz.
