Updates/questions Wednesday review, midterm on April 2nd Topics:
Systematics for: Arcs Some continental rocks

Trace Elements: REEs Enriched Depleted

4
MORB-normalized Spider Diagrams
Figure Winter (2001) An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology. Prentice Hall. Data from Sun and McDonough (1989).
5
Trace Elements
6
Isotope Geochemistry Isotopes do not fractionate during partial melting of fractional melting processes, so will reflect the characteristics of the source OIBs only cross oceanic plate, limiting contamination (<-> continent); good estimate of mantle
7
Sr Isotope Evolution Figure After Wilson (1989). Igneous Petrogenesis. Unwin Hyman/Kluwer.

Sm-Nd: Evolution opposite to Rb - Sr
Ctl Crust (enriched) = hi 87Sr/86Sr, lo 143Nd/144Nd 147Sm143Nd by alpha decay half life 106 Ga Daughter more incompatible 143Nd/144Nd = (143Nd/144Nd)o + (147Sm/144Nd)(elt-1)

MORB Sr - Nd Isotopes Figure Data from Ito et al. (1987) Chemical Geology, 62, ; and LeRoex et al. (1983) J. Petrol., 24,

Every composition by mixing end-members: DM -depleted mantle EM 1&2 - enriched mantle HIMU - high m = 238U/204Pb 238U -> 206Pb So high 206Pb/204Pb DM MORB } OIB (colors) HIMU BSE EM2 EM1

A Model for Oceanic Magmatism
Continental Reservoirs DM OIB EM and HIMU from crustal sources (subducted OC + CC seds) Figure Nomenclature from Zindler and Hart (1986). After Wilson (1989) and Rollinson (1993).
12
Arc Magmatism Volcanism in arc-shaped region of volcanoes
Different because: Composition more diverse and silicic Basalt generally occurs in subordinate quantities Also more explosive than the quiescent basalts Strato-volcanoes are the most common volcanic landform Result of subduction: H2O melting
