Mantle flow, melting, and dehydration of the Iceland mantle plume
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1999Abstract Recent studies have shown that the extraction of water from the mantle due to partial melting beneath mid-ocean ridges may increase the viscosity of the residuum by 2–3 orders of magnitude. We examine this rheological effect on mantle flow and melting of a ridge-centered mantle plume using three-dimensional numerical models. Results indicate

GEOCHEMISTRY During Earth's history, heavy metals gradually decoupled from silicate rocks and sank toward the core, which became differentiated from the overlying mantle. Signatures of this process can be traced in the distribution of highly siderophile elements (Re and the platinum group elements Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd) that are chemically associated ...

Transcrystalline Melt Migration and Earth's Mantle
Science, 2006Plate tectonics and volcanism involve the formation, migration, and interaction of magma and gas. Experiments show that melt inclusions subjected to a thermal gradient migrate through olivine crystals, under the kinetic control of crystal-melt interface mechanisms.

Abstract The attainment of equilibrium between basalt and residual peridotite depends on the relative magnitudes of melt segregation rate and solid residue re-equilibration rate. Garnets and pyroxenes (and perhaps spinels) require at least 103 years to equilibrate with melt by volume inter-diffusion.

Olivine flotation in mantle melt
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1993Abstract Molten komatiite and peridotite have been compressed in an octahedral multi-anvil device up to 10 GPa. Densities of the melts were measured at pressure intervals in the range 7 to 10 GPa by observing sinking and floating San Carlos olivines and synthetic forsterite marker spheres.

Most of Earth9s volume is silicate mantle, hidden from view by a layer of surface crust. A large geophysical experimental collaboration called MELT (mantle electromagnetic and tomography) has in recent years sought to detect and map a region of mantle partial melting to better understand its behavior. As Buck discusses in his Perspective,

Platinum group elements in mantle melts and mantle samples
Lithos, 2015Abstract A large data compilation has been assembled of platinum group element (PGE) analyses in mantle melts and mantle rocks, the latter including an assortment of xenoliths and obducted mantle massifs. The degree of correlation has been investigated among the PGEs and with other major element variables such as Al2O3, TiO2 and Mg number, and the ...
