Studies of mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) and ocean island basalts (OIBs) have unraveled the heterogeneous nature of the shallow and deep mantle, respectively. Large variations in radiogenic isotopes and trace element compositions observed in OIBs are thought to originate from ancient recycled subducted materials that once existed near the Earth's surface and that are now stored in the deep mantle. Recent applications of major elements in basalts, minor elements in olivine phenocrysts, and traditional and nontraditional stable isotopes provide opportunities to not only identify subducted materials but also promote an improved understanding of the processes of differentiation and reaction that occur during lithospheric slab subduction and mantle upwelling. Recycled carbonates have recently gained recognition as playing a role in the formation of distinct mantle components. These carbonatitic melts, originating from subducted carbonated materials, metasomatize the surrounding peridotitic mantle and form chemically enriched pyroxenite and fertile peridotite. Recent studies have shown that other volatile elements, such as water and halogens together with carbon, exchange between the Earth's surface and the deep mantle. Moreover, the exchange of materials appears to have influenced mutual changes in chemical compositions and the redox state at the Earth's surface and in the mantle.
