Abstract: Abstract Replying to: D. L. Anderson & J. H. Natland Nature 450, doi: 10.1038/nature06376 (2007) Anderson and Natland’scomment1 does not question our results regarding the velocity structure of mantle upwellings based on uranium-series2. We stated clearly that our results do not provide direct measurements of the depth from which hotspot volcanism starts; we have not made unjustified claims by saying we have identified deep mantle plumes2. However, our results do shed light on the still incompletely understood causes of hotspot volcanism2.
