A numerical mass balance calculation model for the adiabatic melting of a dry to hydrous peridotite has been programmed in order to simulate the trace element compositions of basalts from mid‐ocean ridges, back‐arc basins, ocean islands, and large ...

H2O-rich mantle melting near the slab–wedge interface
To investigate the first melts of the mantle wedge in subduction zones and their relationship to primitive magmas erupted at arcs, the compositions of low degree melts of hydrous garnet lherzolite have been experimentally determined at 3.2 GPa over the ...

Petrogenesis and Sr-Nd isotope Geochemistry of Neogene Igneous Rocks in the Goloumak Area, South of Kerman, Iran [PDF]
The study area is near Goloumak village, 30 km south of Kerman. These rock units consist of acidic rhyolite and dacite, as well as intermediate andesite, basalt, and trachy-andesite.

pyMelt: An extensible Python engine for mantle melting calculations
Modelling the melting of Earth’s mantle is crucial for understanding the distribution of volcanic activity on Earth and for testing models of mantle convection and mantle lithological heterogeneity.

Evidence of Volatile‐Induced Melting in the Northeast Asian Upper Mantle
A seismic low velocity layer (LVL) above the mantle transition zone (MTZ), often thought to be caused by volatile‐induced melting, can significantly modulate planetary volatile cycles.

Basalts and basaltic rocks are the most abundant igneous rocks on the earth and their petrologic and geochemical studies have formed our knowledge base on the thermal structure and composition of the mantle with which we have developed workable models on

The Impact of Climate‐Driven Lake Level Changes on Mantle Melting in Continental Rifts
Climate cycles fundamentally control surface processes that affect the distribution of water and sediment, and their associated loads, across the Earth's surface.

Oceanic Slab Melting and Mantle Metasomatism [PDF]
Modern plate tectonic brings down oceanic crust along subduction zones where it either dehydrates or melts. Those hydrous fluids or melts migrate into the overlying mantle wedge trigerring its melting which produces arc magmas and thus additional continental crust. Nowadays, melting seems to be restricted to cases of young (<50 Ma) subducted plates.

Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho (Sistan suture zone, eastern Iran) [PDF]
Olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho regions belong to sodic alkaline and transitional magma series. Compared to alkaline olivine basalts (AOB), the transitional olivine basalts (TOB) have higher MgO, SiO2, Ni, Cr, Ba, Th, Pb, and U, and

Oceans on Earth are present as a result of dynamic equilibrium between degassing and regassing through the interaction with Earth’s interior. We review mineral physics, geophysical, and geochemical studies related to the global water circulation and ...
