1
Magmatism at Convergent Plate Margins. The wrong answer
2
Convergent Plate Margins
3
Two possible
4
Convergent Plate Margins: In Detail
5
Magmatism Calc-alkaline magmatism is characteristic. Variation diagrams against silica show fractionation Peacock index of 56-61 is calc-alkaline
6
Calc-Alkaline Trend Modern classification in an AFM diagram. Calc-Alkaline Trend no Fe-enrichment Tholeiite Trend Fe-enrichment
7
Calc-Alkaline Trend High water partial pressure lowers the solidus of olivine, px and plag. High water partial pressure raises the solidus of hornblende. High water partial pressure raises the oxygen fugacity and stabilises iron oxides.
8
Ocean Island Arcs & Cordillera Younger arcs are mainly tholeiitic, older and cordillera calc-alkaline
9
Ocean Island Arcs & Cordillera
10
Sub-groups of Calc-Alkaline Shoshonitic Depth of Benioff Zone
11
Distribution of Calc-Alkaline First magmas are mainly tholeiitic, followed by calc- alkaline and finally alkaline. K contents increase with the depth of the benioff zone.
12
Nature of Calc-Alkaline Volcanism
13
Petrology of Calc Alkaline Rocks.
14
Composition of Calc-Alkaline Large Ion Lithophiles (LILE) - high solubility in water High Field Strength Elements (HFSE) – not soluble in water Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) - Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) – retained in garnet
15
REE Calc-Alkaline Plag fractionation Tholeiite like Enriched
16
REE Calc-Alkaline Has similarities to kimberlites
17
Isotopes
18
B-Be Isotopes
19
Altered Oceanic Crust Black Smokers
20
Origins of Calc-Alkaline Magmas
21
From Where the Water? Dehydration at >600C and P >18 kbar
22
Origins of Calc-Alkaline Magmas Adding water to the overlying mantle wedge will cause it to melt
23
Where does the water go? Metasomatism
24
Cratons: Kimberlites
25
Melting of the Mantle Wedge
26
Rise and Fractionation
