2015 10 16 – Dr. James explains magnesium fluctuations in ocean chemistry and how it is directly linked to mid-oceanic rifting. The class is standing on material directly from the mantle, which is magnesium rich due to hydrothermal alterations. The mantle is at a depth of approximately 2,900 kilometers; the deepest whole drilled to date is approximately 12 kilometers deep.
