地幔岩石学是六十年代以后发展起来的一个较新的岩石学领域,研究的对象主要是深部岩石及其中各种形成岩浆的地质作用。由于地幔的组成是超镁铁质岩及镁铁质岩,导源的岩浆也以这两类为主,所以也自然地涉及到它们的成因及成矿等作用。地幔岩石学是在大地构造学、岩理学、矿床学及地震地质学等学科发展基础上出现的。板块学说建立起全球构造的概念,即岩石圈板块活动的概念,并建立起地球各层圈的构成、 Mantle petrology is a relatively new field of petrology developed since the 1960s. Its main object of study is deep rocks and various magmatic magmas. Since the mantle is composed of ultramafic and mafic rocks, the magmatic source of the source is also mainly composed of these two types, so they are also naturally involved in their genesis and mineralization. Mantle petrology is based on the tectonics, lithology, mineralogy and seismic geology and other disciplines based on the development. Plate theory establishes the concept of global structure, that is, the concept of lithospheric plate activity and establishes the composition of all layers of the earth,
