Partial melting, partial melt extraction and partial back reaction in anatectic migmatites

Lithos, 2001
Abstract Anatectic migmatites commonly show both prograde (entropy producing) and retrograde reactions between minerals and melt. The final textures, mineral modes and mineral chemistries are affected by four successive processes: (i) prograde partial melting and small-scale segregation into melt-rich domains and restitic domains; (ii) partial melt ...

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 ...

Underplating and Partial Melting: Implications for Melt Generation and Extraction

Science, 1989
The quantitative assessment of underplating and concomitant partial melting of continental crust requires the use of geologically reasonable melt fraction distributions as a function of temperature. Conductive modeling indicates that simple underplating of metapelite by basalt can yield magma bodies with melt fractions above the rheological limit of ...

Partial Melting and Deformation

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2002
The physical properties of partially molten rocks are directly coupled to the grain-scale as well as the broader scale distribution of the melt phase. At the grain scale, if melt forms isolated pockets in a silicate matrix, its influence on plastic flow is generally relatively minor.

Partial melting and flow of orogens

Tectonophysics, 2001
Abstract A comparison of large orogenic belts formed at convergent plate boundaries indicates that orogenic evolution comprises a period of crustal thickening followed by the formation of a continental plateau and commonly syn- to post-convergence extension and thinning of the previously thickened crust.

Partial melting in the upper mantle

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1970
The low velocity zone in tectonic and oceanic regions is too pronounced to be the effect of high temperature gradients alone. Partial melting is consistent with the low velocity, low Q and abrupt boundaries of this region of the upper mantle and is also consistent with measured heat flow values.

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 ...

Partial melting of metagreywackes, Part II. Compositions of minerals and melts

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1997
A series of experiments on the fluid-absent melting of a quartz-rich aluminous metagreywacke has been carried out. In this paper, we report the chemical composition of the phases present in the experimental charges as determined by electron microprobe.

The influence of partial melting and melt migration on the rheology of the continental crust

Journal of Geodynamics, 2016
Abstract The presence of melt during deformation produces a drastic change in the rheological behavior of the continental crust; rock strength is decreased even for melt fractions as low as ∼7%. At pressure/temperature conditions typical of the middle to lower crust, melt-bearing systems may play a critical role in the process of strain localization ...
