Mantle melting as a function of water content beneath back-arc basins
[1] Subduction zone magmas are characterized by high concentrations of H2O, presumably derived from the subducted plate and ultimately responsible for melting at this tectonic setting. Previous studies of the role of water during mantle melting beneath back-arc basins found positive correlations between the H2O concentration of the mantle (H2Oo) and the extent of melting (F), in contrast to the...

متن کاملChemical differentiation of the Earth: the relationship between mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust
The average chemical compositions of the continental crust and the oceanic crust (represented by MORB), normalized to primitive mantle values and plotted as functions of the apparent bulk partition coefficient of each element, form surprisingly simple, complementary concentration patterns. In the continental crust, the maximum concentrations are on the order of 50 to 100 times the primitive-man...
متن کاملClustering of arc volcanoes caused by temperature perturbations in the back-arc mantle
Clustering of arc volcanoes in subduction zones indicates along-arc variation in the physical condition of the underlying mantle where majority of arc magmas are generated. The sub-arc mantle is brought in from the back-arc largely by slab-driven mantle wedge flow. Dynamic processes in the back-arc, such as small-scale mantle convection, are likely to cause lateral variations in the back-arc ma...

Where ρ0, α0, ∆T , η, κ are dimensional reference values of density of the background mantle, thermal expansivity, temperature difference between core-mantle boundary and surface, reference viscosity at temperature T = 0.5 (non-dimensional), and thermal diffusivity, respectively. g and h are dimensional gravitational acceleration and thickness of mantle, respectively. 1 Chemical complexity of h...
