Summary

Description
English: The pale blue arrows indicate the ultimate destiny of crustal material that is subducted into the mantle. The material may be incorporated into mantle plumes, recycled into overlying volcanic arcs, descend wholly to the core-mantle boundary (a proposed "slab graveyard") or absorbed into the mantle proper, mingling with the "crystal mush" and eventually being incorporated into mantle-characterized igneous rocks (like those at a mid-ocean ridge).
Español: Las flechas en azul claro indican el destino final del material de la corteza que es subducido hacia dentro del manto. El material puede incorporarse a plumas del manto, reciclarse en un arco volcánico, descender completamente al margen manto-núcleo (sugerido como "cementerio de losas") o ser absorbido hacia el manto, mezclándose con la "pasta de cristal" e incorporándose finalmente a las rocas ígneas características del manto (como las de las dorsales oceánicas).
