The current status of experimental petrology, its objectives, and its major role in solving problems related to various earth processes are considered. Attention is given to the petrological models for the earth's internal structure and to their derivation from data on solid-solid transitions, dehydration or decarbonation reactions, and melting process. The role of experimental petrology in calibrating geophysical processes is discussed, with particular consideration given to the mantle convection and the uprise of thermal plumes in the oceanic environment. The petrological structures associated with the plume are described, showing how static petrological maps are modified by the dynamics of the plumes.
