High-magnesian andesite occurs at Hachimantai, northern Honshu, Japan. Disequilibrium zoning features indicate that the phenocryst minerals were derived from three different magmas. Chemical compositions and zoning profiles are accounted for by two-stage magma mixing: the first mixing occurred between a crystal-free basalt magma and a more differentiated olivine basalt magma; the second stage o...

We report the first systematic study of H2O speciation in dacitic melt with total dissolved H2O ranging from 1.4 to 2.6 wt%. Samples were heated in a one-atmosphere tube furnace at 480–590 °C for certain durations and then quenched in water or air. Species concentrations were measured with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. At a given temperature, the equilibrium constant for the r...

The physical and mechanical properties of the andesite forming much of the island of Gökçeada (Imbros), Turkey, were investigated using 54 mm samples cores from 12 blocks obtained from a quarry. The results were evaluated using regression analysis and good empirical relationships were obtained.

New analytical and experimental data constrain the storage and equilibration conditions of the magmas erupted in 1912 from Novarupta in the 20th century’s largest volcanic event. Phase relations at H2O+CO2 fluid saturation were determined for an andesite (58.7 wt% SiO2) and a dacite (67.7 wt%) from the compositional extremes of intermediate magmas erupted. The phase assemblages, matrix melt com...

In geothermal reservoirs, hydrothermal distribution is significant. The most widely utilized reservoirs to date are those of systems, which systems where the reservoir contains steam, water, or a mixture both, depending on pressure and temperature reservoir. One geophysical method that enough map subsurface conditions determine 2-Dimensional Geoelectric using Wenner configuration. This aims stu...
