Can we send George Soros to one of these plates?

I always figured these slabs headed under the mantle and then were melted down.
Interesting.

One of the comments at the source puts this discovery into its place. While we’ve known for some time that there are subducted slabs in the mantle this level of complexity wasn’t understood, just suspected. As the comment reads “the mantle isn’t a uniform chunk of ultramafic rock with nice olivine/spinel/perovskite transitions with depth. Instead there’s lots of compositional heterogeneity”.

I’d think they’d be remelting, and re-added to the mix.
A lot of gold still down there. If only I could figure out....
