Melt segregation mechanism controls on the geochemistry of crustal melts
Crustally-derived granites may be generated in a variety of tectonic settings, but whatever the ultimate causse of heating crustal thickening, crustal extension, enhanced heat flux from the mantle, or magmatic advection by mantle-derived melts crustal melting likely occurs in a dynamic environment. Under these conditions deviatoric stress acting on an anisotropic crustal source region will lead...
متن کاملContamination and melt aggregation processes in continental £ood basalts : constraints from melt inclusions in Oligocene basalts from Yemen
Melt inclusions from Oligocene continental flood basalts (CFB) erupted in Yemen provide unique insight into the timing and nature of the processes that lead to crustal contamination and melt aggregation in CFB magmas. Large variations in trace element indices that are sensitive to the degree and composition of assimilated crustal material (e.g. K2O=0.20^1.94 wt%, Ba= 13^543 ppm, K/Nb=128^1603, ...
متن کاملLower Crustal Magma Genesis and Preservation: a Stochastic Framework for the Evaluation of Basalt–Crust Interaction
We present a quantitative assessment of the thermal and dynamic response of an amphibolitic lower crust to the intrusion of basaltic dike swarms in an arc setting. We consider the effect of variable intrusion geometry, depth of intrusion, and basalt flux on the production, persistence, and interaction of basaltic and crustal melt in a stochastic computational framework. Distinct melting and mix...
متن کاملOxygen Isotope Compositions of Mineral Separates from Snc Meteorites: Constraints on the Petrogenesis of Martian Magmas
Introduction: Martian (SNC) meteorites are igneous rocks that range from a reduced, trace-element depleted end member to an oxidized, trace-element enriched end member [1-3] (Figure 1). One interpretation of this trend is that relatively reduced, depleted magmas are partial melts of a reduced peridotitic mantle, whereas more oxidized, enriched magmas are mantle-derived magmas contaminated by ox...
متن کاملSome first order observations on magma transfer from mantle wedge to upper crust at volcanic arcs
The viscosity of lavas erupted at volcanic arcs varies over orders of magnitude. A comparison of the relative abundance of viscous lava dome eruptions indicates that the average viscosity of arc lavas also varies considerably between arcs. It is shown that for continental or transitional arcs with little within-arc crustal deformation and without underlying slab windows or tears, average lava v...
