Reactive Melt Transport in the Mantle and Geochemical Signatures of Mantle-derived Magmas
نویسنده
چکیده
predicted effects, but more complete sample suites yielding detailed Modeling of equilibrium reactive melt transport in the mantle, temporal–compositional variations of clearly cogenetic lavas are including the effects of mineralogic reactions and changes in porosity needed to test the petrogenetic significance of reactive melt transport in the solid matrix, provides a series of robust predictions of the on erupted magmas. consequences of reactive melt transport on magma trace element compositions. The composition of the leading melt batch through a column of reactive mantle (the melt front) will be shifted towards that of an incipient partial melt of the mantle matrix. Successive melt batches migrating through and emerging from the column will

Signatures of subduction-related hydrous magmas from the geochemistry of the upper mantle rocks of the northern Semail ophiolite
Concentrations of the incompatible trace elements and REEs in the upper mantle rocks of the Northern Semail ophiolite are very low, as typical in the residua of partial melting and in the early products of a fractionating magma. However, their geochemical characteristics have shown indications of hydrous magmas that more likely related to a subduction environment. Melt extraction can play a cru...
متن کاملArc Basalt Simulator version 2, a simulation for slab dehydration and fluidfluxed mantle melting for arc basalts: Modeling scheme and application
[1] Convergent margin magmas typically have geochemical signatures that include elevated concentrations of large-ion lithophile elements; depleted heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements; and variously radiogenic Sr, Pb, and Nd isotopic compositions. These have been attributed to the melting of depleted mantle peridotite by the fluxing of fluids or melts derived from subducti...
متن کاملPreferential Assimilation Due to Melt-rock Reaction in the Lunar Mantle: a Laboratory and Ophiolite Field
Introduction: Assimilation has been called upon in numerous occasions to explain various petrologic and geochemical observations of the igneous rocks on the Moon. A well known example is the assimilation of ilmenite-bearing late cumulates (and KREEP) to the low Ti primary magmas at shallow levels, that has been used to explain the high Ti magmas observed on the lunar surface [1]-[3]. An alterna...
متن کاملRelative depletion of niobium in some arc magmas and the continental crust : partitioning of K , Nb , La and Ce during melt / rock reaction in the upper mantle
Depletion of Nb relative to K and La is characteristic of lavas in subduction-related magmatic arcs, as distinct from mid-ocean ridge basalts. Nb depletion is also characteristic of the continental crust. This and other geochemical similarities between the continental crust and high-Mg# andesite magmas found in arcs suggests that the continental crust may have formed by accretion of andesites. ...
متن کاملThe role of magmatically driven lithospheric thickening on arc front migration
Volcanic activity at convergent plate margins is localized along lineaments of active volcanoes that focus rising magma generated within the mantle below. In many arcs worldwide, particularly continental arcs, the volcanic front migrates away from the interface of subduction (the trench) over millions of years, reflecting coevolving surface forcing, tectonics, crustal magma transport, and mantl...
