摘要
The buoyancy of magma should cause it to rise into the crust, preventing it from ponding in the uppermost mantle. Magnetotelluric data from the Dabbahu rift segment, Ethiopia, identify a magma reservoir that extends well into the mantle beneath the rift, and is so large that it should persist for thousands of years.
