- •
Partial melting and metasomatism are the major processes affecting CLM of Ethiopian plateau.
- •
Gundeweyn mantle xenoliths record high mantle heat flow between 60 and 150 mW/m2.
- •
A high geotherm shows presence of active mantle upwelling under Ethiopia plateau.
- •
Plateau lithosphere is product of interaction between melt with depleted lithosphere.
- •
The interaction is probably related to mantle upwelling focused beneath EARS.
