    The mantle is convecting, bringing hot mantle from depth up towards the surface and as it does so, the mantle material stays hot, hotter than the surrounding rocks ... So, underneath mid-ocean ridges (and at hotspots like Hawaii), the mantle is upwelling, causing decompression melting to occur.
