The Upper Cretaceous Ganj complex, a part of the Jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of Jazmurian depression and separated from Kahnuj ophiolitic complex by north-south trending Jiroft fault. The complex consists of lava flows, pillow lavas, acidic plutonic and sedimentary rocks which are intruded by northwest-southeast trending dykes. It does not resemble a classical ...

Pleistocene basaltic lava flows, consisting of trachybasalt and basaltic trachyandesite, cover an area north-northwest of Shahre-Babak in southeastern Iran. The whole rock chemistry indicates that the lavas are dominantly alkaline and mildly calc-alkaline. Variation diagrams of SiO2 with major and trace elements are consistent with fractional crystallization processes involving olivine, pyroxen...

The behavior of C, H, and S in the solid Earth depends on their oxidation states, which are related to oxygen fugacity (fO2). Volcanic degassing is a source of these elements to Earth's surface; therefore, variations in mantle fO2 may influence the fO2 at Earth's surface. However, degassing can impact magmatic fO2 before or during eruption, potentially obscuring relationships between the fO2 of...

Submarine volcanism represents ~80% of the volcanic activity on Earth and is an important source of mantle-derived gases. These gases are of basic importance for the comprehension of mantle characteristics in areas where subaerial volcanism is missing or strongly modified by the presence of crustal/atmospheric components. Though, the study of submarine volcanism remains a challenge due to their...

The mantle plume underlying the Hawaiian Swell has been modelled numerically using a stationary steady axisymmetric plume under a solid conducting lid. A method of calculating the rate of melt production from the plume has been developed, and the total melt production rate, the residual depth anomaly and the geoid anomaly have been used to constrain the model. The plume has a central potential ...

Arc magmas are generated by partial melting of a mantle wedge modified inputs from subducting sediment and igneous ocean crust. Despite this uniform tectonic process, global arc-front stratovolcano compositions exhibit trace element abundances that can vary more than an order magnitude. All incompatible elements correlate well, including those thought to be derived, “fluid-mobile”, derived. It ...

Outgassing of helium and argon and the isotope ratio distribution of helium isotopes in basalts are some of the most important geochemical constraints on mantle structure and evolution, but their interpretation in terms of mantle processes is ambiguous and controversial. Here, the evolution of these isotopes and their radiogenic parent isotopes of U, Th and K are studied using a numerical model...

employing the notions of the strong $l$-topology introduced by zhangand the $l$-frame introduced by yao  and the concept of $l$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf st$l$-top} of strong$l$-topological spaces, {bf s$l$-loc} of strict $l$-locales and{bf $l$-entopsys} of $l$-enriched topological systems. all of theseconcepts are ...
