Chalcophile behavior of thallium during MORB melting and implications for the sulfur content of the mantle
We present new laser ablation ICP-MS trace element concentration data for 28 elements in 97 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses that cover all major spreading centers as well as Tl concentration data for all mineral phases in five lherzolites from the Lherz massif, France. The ratio between the elements thallium (Tl) and cerium (Ce) is nearly constant in MORB, providing evidence that the depl...
متن کاملLithosphere, Asthenosphere, and Perisphere
"Lithosphere" is a mechanical concept implying strength and relative permanence. Unfortunately, the term has also been applied to the surface thermal boundary layer (TBL) and a shallow enriched geochemical reservoir, features having nothing to do with strength. The "strong" lithosphere is about one half the thickness of the TBL. The bottom of the elastic plate, the maximum depths of midplate an...
متن کاملBounds on the viscosity coefficient of continental lithosphere from 3 removal of mantle lithosphere beneath the Altiplano and
8 [1] The rapid rise of the central Andean plateau 9 between 10 and 6.8 Ma implies that mantle 10 lithosphere, including eclogitized lower crust, was 11 removed from beneath the region in that time interval; 12 we infer from that removal that the average viscosity 13 coefficient of mantle lithosphere was quite low when 14 removal occurred. Using scaling laws for the growth 15 of perturbations t...
متن کاملNear-solidus Melting of the Shallow Upper Mantle: Partial Melting Experiments on Depleted Peridotite
We present the results of melting experiments on a moderately depleted peridotite composition (DMM1) at 10 kbar and 1250±1390 C. Specially designed experiments demonstrate that liquids extracted into aggregates of vitreous carbon spheres maintained chemical contact with the bulk charge down to melt fractions of 0 02±0 04 and approached equilibrium closely. With increasing melt fraction, SiO2, F...
متن کاملJoint modeling of lithosphere and mantle dynamics elucidating lithosphere-mantle coupling
[1] We provide new insights into the lithosphere-mantle coupling problem through a joint modeling of lithosphere dynamics and mantle convection and through comparison of model results with the high resolution velocity gradient tensor model along the Earth’s plate boundary zones. Using a laterally variable effective viscosity lithosphere model, we compute depth integrated deviatoric stresses ass...
