Arc magmas sourced from mélange diapirs in subduction zones
At subduction zones, crustal material is recycled back into the mantle. A certain proportion, however, is returned to the overriding plate via magmatism. The magmas show a characteristic range of compositions that have been explained by three-component mixing in their source regions: hydrous fluids derived from subducted altered oceanic crust and components derived from the thin sedimentary ven...
متن کاملOrigin of magmas in subduction zones: a review of experimental studies
Studies of the origin of magmas in subduction zones, particularly in the Japanese island arc, have been significantly advanced by petrological, geochemical, geophysical and experimental studies during last 50 years. Kuno's original model(1)) for magma generation in the Japanese island arc, that tholeiite magmas are formed at relatively shallow levels in the mantle on the Pacific Ocean side wher...
متن کاملSubduction Zones
[1] Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and reequilibrate with Earth’s mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth’s 55,000 km of convergent plate margins and are the geodynamic system that builds island arcs. Excess density of the mantle lithosphere in subduction zones provides most of the power needed to move the plates while in...
متن کاملBehaviour of high field strength elements in subduction zones: constraints from Kamchatka–Aleutian arc lavas
Models explaining the characteristic depletion of High Field Strength Elements (HFSE) relative to elements of similar compatibility in subduction zone magmas invoke either (1) the presence of HFSE-rich minerals in the subduction regime or (2) a selectively lower mobility of HFSE during subduction metasomatism of the mantle. In order to investigate the properties of HFSE in subduction regimes cl...
متن کاملSimple Kinematics of Subduction Zones
Two main types of subduction zones can be distinguished: (1) those where the subduction hinge migrates away from the upper plate; and (2) those in which the subduction hinge migrates toward the upper plate. Apart from a few exceptions, this distinction seems to apply particularly for W-directed subduction zones and Eor NE-directed subduction zones, respectively. Moreover, the rate of subduction...
