El magma proviene de un penacho térmico (plume2) de la misma época, pero la fusión fue provocada y canalizada mucho después por fallas de desgarre en régimen transtensivo que continúan las del Atlas; los bloques insulares se han elevado al actuar la compresión sobre esas mismas fracturas. 2, record 1, Spanish, - penacho%20t%C3%A9rmico

We can often differentiate between these two sources (crustal and mantle) by examining variations in 34S/32S. ... Originally, all the earth's sulphur was in the mantle. Much of that transferred to the crust has undergone biogenic fractionation .... It is now held to be an oversimplification to claim that for all natural sulphur a narrow range of [delta]34S close to zero indicates a mantle source, and a wide range of [delta]34S a crustal source. 3, record 2, English, - mantle%20source
