Effect of subduction components on production of basalts from Tateshina volcano, central Japan: geochemical calculation of dehydration of subducting oceanic crust and partial melting of overlying sediments, and subsequent fluid-mantle interaction
Abstract:We report the major and trace element chemistry and Sr and Nd isotopic composition of basaltic rocks from the Quaternary Tateshina volcano, central Japan, and model the composition of these rocks in terms of the partial melting and melt -solid reactions controlled by the addition of slab -derived fluid and silicate melt to the original wedge mantle beneath the Tateshina area. Tateshina basaltic rocks have a SiO 2 content ranging from 50.06 to 53.28 wt% and a MgO content ranging from 5 to 7 wt%, indicating that… Show more
