According to the new literatures of the physical properties of minerals in the mantle under high temperature and high
pressure, the processes of stimulation, transfer and absorption of phonons of minerals in the mantle were investigated by using
nonequilibrium quantum statistics. It had been found that the mechanism of the thermal conductivity of phonons of minerals in the
mantle could be divided into three kinds. The results show that: In the transit zone and submantle, the phonon thermal conductivity is the main mechanism of minerals in the mantle because that pressural effects surpassing temperatural effect causes phonon
thermal conductivity increasing with the depth;In the mantle, if Boses condensing phenonmenon under nonlinearity and nonequi-librium state exists, a great quantity of optical braching phonons will enter the same vibration energy level and the optical braching
phonons will play a leading role in the phonon thermal conductivity.
