Investigation of Petrological Characteristics of The Upper Mantle in Hadji-Abad Ophiolitic Complex (South of Iran): Based on Mineral Chemistry [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2021 The mantle peridotites of the Hadji-Abad ultramafic complex in Hormozgan province, show some petrological evolutions of the upper mantle of southern Iran. The complex includes harzburgite, lherzolite, dunite and chromitite.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 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 ...

Heliyon, 2023 The Kesem-Megezez Section is located on the western escarpment of the main Ethiopian rift, central Ethiopia, part of the northwestern Ethiopia plateau, and hosts both flood basalts (Kesem Oligocene basalts) and shield volcano basalts (Megezez Miocene ...

Nature Communications, 2017 Mantle partial melting produced the volcanic crust of Mercury. Here, the authors numerically model the formation of post-impact melt sheets and find that mantle convection was weak at around 3.7–3.8 Ga and that the melt sheets of Caloris and Rembrandt ...

Melt channelization in ascending mantle [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2009 We study a model for channels of magma flow within mantle undergoing decompression melting. Cylindrical conduits in a viscous, porous, compacting matrix are considered, and it is found that the dynamics of the conduit walls are governed by the competition between melting (caused by decompression) and viscous closure (caused by the reduced pressure in ...

A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism
Scientific Reports, 2018 The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Platinum-group elements (PGE) and gold are a promising tool to assess the processes of mantle melting beneath the subduction zones. However, fractionation processes in magmas inevitably overwrite the initial metal budgets of magmas, making constraints on

Melt mapped inside Earth’s mantle
Nature, 2020 An analysis of seismic data reveals the location and quantity of melted rock, known as melt, in Earth’s upper mantle. The results show how these factors are correlated with the movement of the planet’s tectonic plates.

Quartz-bearing rhyolitic melts in the Earth’s mantle
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractThe occurrence of rhyolite melts in the mantle has been predicted by high pressure-high temperature experiments but never observed in nature. Here we report natural quartz-bearing rhyolitic melt inclusions and interstitial glass within peridotite xenoliths.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 The Samoan islands of Ta'u and Ofu/Olosega (Ofol hereafter) are single shield volcanoes that have erupted alkali basalt for the past 70 and 440 kyr, respectively.
