Water availability controls crustal melting temperatures

Lithos, 2021
Abstract Although the capacity for water to lower the solidus during crustal melting is well recognised, a modern consensus is that most granitic magmas are generated under fluid-absent melting conditions at temperatures ≥850 °C, and that water has little influence on crustal melting temperatures.

Crustal melting by ponding of mafic magmas: A numerical model

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 1998
Abstract We examine the possibility that an abating period of mantle-related volcanic activity at continental margins triggers the production of crustal-derived melts. A vertical zone, permeated by rising mafic melts, is established below the volcanic arc if long-lasting mantle-derived magmatism occurs.

Crustal Melting and the Flow of Mountains [PDF]

open access: possibleElements, 2011
As the continental crust thickens during mountain building, it can become hot enough to start melting, leading to a profound reduction in its strength. Melt-weakened crust can flow outward or upward in response to the pressure gradients associated with mountain building, and may be transported hundreds of kilometres laterally as mid-crustal channels ...

High-temperature metamorphism and crustal melting: working with melt inclusions

Periodico di Mineralogia, 2015
The application of melt inclusion (MI) studies to migmatitic and granulitic terranes is a recent, small-scale approach for a better understanding of melting in the continental crust. In order to show the role of anatectic MI in providing a wealth of microstructural and compositional information on high-temperature metamorphism and crustal anatexis, we ...

Crustal rhyolite melts at mantle depths

2023
Melts with rhyolite compositions originate from partial melting of crustal rocks or extensive differentiation of basaltic melts, at temperatures in the range of 800 °C. Accordingly, they are confined to the shallow continental crust. Nevertheless, experimental studies have demonstrated that dacite-rhyolite melts can be generated at higher ...

Melt production, redistribution and accumulation in mid-crustal source rocks, with implications for crustal-scale melt transfer

Lithos, 2014
Abstract Ascent of granitic melt initiates under suprasolidus conditions in the mid- to lower crust before continuing through subsolidus rocks to higher crustal levels. Whereas migration of melt in suprasolidus rocks can occur in pervasive net-like structures and involve relatively small melt volumes, ascent through the subsolidus crust requires more

Mechanisms of melt extraction during lower crustal partial melting

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 2020
AbstractProgressive vapour‐absent partial melting of a closed rock system increases melt pressure due to an expansion in the volume of the mineral plus melt assemblage. For a locally closed system, we quantify the melt pressure increase per increment of partial melting of a metapelite using phase equilibria modelling and combine it with Mohr–Coulomb ...

Crustal melts below 400 °C

Geology, 2003
We propose that the internally zoned, Li-bearing Tin Mountain pegmatite in the Harney Peak granite-pegmatite system of the Black Hills, South Dakota, crystallized from fluid-rich, compositionally complex melts at ∼400–350 °C. The low crystallization temperatures resulted from the combined fluxing effects of Li, B, P, H 2 O, and carbonate anions.

Partial melting of crustal rocks

Engineering Geology, 1989
Abstract Shales and graywackes were first metamorphosed at 650°C and then partially melted at 700 and 750°C at 2, 4, 6, and 8 kilobars in the presence of 0.75m NaCl−0.45m KCl and 0.225m CaCl2−0.750m NaCl solutions. In experiments with shales,KK+Na ratio in the decreases with increasing pressure at 650 and 700°C; however, at 750°C this ratio is equal ...
