The Role of Peridotite for Oceanic Volcanism
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe complementary products of oceanic crust formation are compositionally variable melt‐depleted peridotites. Together with the oceanic crust, the melt‐depleted peridotites are continuously recycled back into the mantle.

Mesozoic-Cenozoic mafic magmatism in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, Zagros Orogen (Western Iran): geochemical and isotopic inferences from Middle Jurassic and Late Eocene gabbros [PDF]
, 2017 One of the consequences of Neo-Tethys ocean subduction beneath the Central Iranian Micro-continent (CIMC) is the development of rare gabbroic intrusions in the Malayer-Boroujerd Plutonic Complex (MBPC) located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone (SaSZ) of the ...

Forearc Depressions Develop in Warm Subduction Zones by Underplating‐Induced Crustal Flexure
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a model for forearc depression formation in warm subduction zones. Forearc depressions overlie some ocean‐continent subduction zones and form between a forearc high and volcanic arc. Forearc highs coincide with 51–91 mGal free‐air gravity anomalies and km‐scale reflector bands in seismic sections, indicating they comprise crust ...

Harry Hess and sea-floor spreading [PDF]
, 1999 Harry Hess's hypothesis of sea-floor spreading brought together his long-standing interests in island arcs, oceanic topography, and the oceanic crust. The one unique feature of Hess's hypothesis was the origin of the oceanic crust as a hydration rind on ...

core
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 Both silicate melts and aqueous fluids are thought to play critical roles in the chemical differentiation of the Earth's crust and mantle. Yet their relative effects are poorly constrained. We have addressed this issue by measuring partition coefficients

Natural evidence for garnet-spinel transition (GST) in the Earth's mantle [PDF]
, 2008 This study based on compiled world-wide garnet peridotite data confirms the GST in high P and T conditions, which was obtained from Al-free experimental system (MgO-Cr~2~O~3~-SiO~2~) by Klemme (2004). A new spinel-phase peridotite zone, garnet peridotite

Frictional melting of peridotite and seismic slip
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2009 The evolution of the frictional strength along a fault at seismic slip rates (about 1 m/s) is a key factor controlling earthquake mechanics. At mantle depths, friction‐induced melting and melt lubrication may influence earthquake slip and seismological data.

Nature Communications, 2023 Researchers found natural evidence of kinetic Eu anomalies caused by melt-induced diffusion in mantle peridotite clinopyroxene, providing an alternative to crustal recycling for the enigmatic ghost plagioclase signatures in oceanic basalts.

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni ZbornikThe investigated Mt. Zrinska Gora amphibolites are a part of the metamorphic sole of the Banovina ophiolite complex. Mineral composition and other petrographic characteristics of amphibolites and adjacent peridotite were investigated by polarised ...

Quartz-bearing rhyolitic melts in the Earth’s mantle
Nature Communications, 2022 The paper reports the occurrence of quartz-bearing rhyolitic melt inclusions and interstitial glasses within peridotite xenoliths. Their O-isotope composition proves crustal derivation and cycling into the mantle at convergent plate margins.
