Shatsky Rise is a large oceanic plateau formed at a spreading ridge triple junction, but its origin mechanism is unclear. Voluminous magmatism at Shatsky Rise has been regarded either as the product of decompression melting of fertile recycled material in a divergent plate boundary setting (plate model) or a hot mantle plume head (plume model). Here we use thermodynamic models to simulate decompression melting of heterogeneous mantle sources.
