Abstract
Rescarches on helium, argon, carbon dioxide and methane are very significant in studies of mantle substance characteristics and mantle evolution. A < -shaped pattern of the isotope composition distribution of helium and argon sourced from the mantle and the crust, abundance distribution, isotopic composition and reservoir formation of carbon dioxide, and mantle-sourced methane are discussed.
