Rheology of Basalt in the Melting Range

Experimental data have been obtained for viscosities of tholeiitemelts at temperatures from 1300 to 1120 °Cat 1 atm, usinga concentric cylinder viscometer. The apparent viscosity increasesmore than two orders of magnitude between 1200 and 1120 °C(0–25 per cent crystallization) for shear rates of about10 sec^-1 and even more for lower shear rates. Non-Newtonianbehaviour of ‘pseudo-plastic type’ becomes extremelypronounced at temperatures below about 1130 °C. At thesetemperatures, differences of less than 5 °C can producechanges in apparent viscosity amounting to orders of magnitude.These observations have led to the conclusion that the heatof deformation must itself influence rheological behaviour inthe melting range. An equation for thermal energy balances andtheir rates of change is constructed and placed in a non-dimensionalform that has been given published solutions by I. J. Gruntfest(1963) relating the shear stress, rate of strain, and temperaturethrough the temperature dependence of viscosity. The resultsshow that in an adiabatic system the heating rate increaseswith time so that the temperature eventually runs out of bounds,a process termed ‘thermal feedback’ by Gruntfest.A hypothesis of shear melting is derived on the basis of a simplifiedviscosity function extrapolated to the solidus temperature.The hypothesis is applied to magma generation in the earth onthe basis of dimensional arguments. It is also suggested thatthermal instabilities give rise to a sort of viscous failureresponsible for deep-focus earthquakes, and that the two phenomenahave the same cause relating ultimately to a gravitational energysource.     

Fusion Kinetics, Water Pressure, Water Diffusion and Electrical Conductivity in Melting Rock, Interrelated

Natural granite and gabbro samples, with dimensions of the orderof 1 cm, were exposed up to 48 hours to water at a pressureof 2 kb and temperatures up to 1060 °C, in an internallyheated pressure vessel. Spatial and temporal nonequilibriummelt distributions were quantitatively studied in thin sectionsof the quenched samples. The main observations, in granite atabout 1020 °C, indicated that melting fronts were initiatedat grain boundaries exposed to water and advanced at initiallyhigh rates subject to rate limitation by water diffusion throughthe deepening melt. The melting slowed down sharply with a slightundersaturation due to exhaustion of free water in the inter-granularvoids. The experimental observations on melting rates and water diffusion,as a function of water concentration and temperature, are correlatedwith data derived from other studies. A new model is advancedfor water diffusion in granitic magma. It is demonstrated thatrate processes in silicate melts may be significantly acceleratedby water in differing patterns. Water diffusion in graniticmelt is rather insensitive to water concentration whereas meltingkinetics and fluidity are strongly enhanced by water but significantlydecoupled from each other, all in contradiction to standardkinetic theories. Melting kinetics is shown to be especiallycritical in physical experiments on melting rock, and some observationson electrical conductivity are accordingly re-interprete.

Stability Relations of Mg-Chlorite-Muscovite and Quartz between 5 and 10 kb Water Pressure

Three reactions involving Mg-chlorite-muscovite and quartz werestudied between 5 and 10 kilobars water pressure over a temperaturerange of 600–700 °C using mixtures of synthetic clinochlore,muscovite and quartz as starting materials. Three reactionswere reversed in this system. 3 chlorite+5 muscovite + 8 kyanite+ 5 phlogopite + 1 quartz + 12 H₂O was reversed between 639.5±5.3°C and 531.8±5.1 °C at 7.24 kb and between 645.9±5.7°C and634.1±6.0°C at8.27kb. A second reaction: 1 chlorite+ 1 muscovite+2 quartz = 1 phlogopite+ 1 cordierite + 3.5 H₂O was reversed between 6370±60°C and 622.8±5.2°C at 6.21 kb. A third reaction: 3 cordierite+2 muscovite = 2 phlogopite +8 alumino-silicate + 7 quartz + 1.5 H₂O was reversed between660.l±5.7 °C and 650.l±5.3 °C at 6.21kb. This reaction is terminated at the beginning of melting around725 °C at 5.65 kb. These reactions determine the upper stability limits of Mg-chlorite-muscoviteand quartz assemblages between 5 and 10 kb water pressure. Theresults may be used in delimiting the upper stability of similarassemblages in natural systems.     

Water Content of Basalt Erupted on the ocean floor

Deep sea pillow basalts dredged from the ocean floor show that vesicularity changes with composition as well as with depth. Alkalic basalts are more vesicular than tholeiitic basalts erupted at the same depth. The vesicularity data, when related to experimentally determined solubility of water in basalt, indicate that K-poor oceanic tholeiites originally contained about 0.25 percent water, Hawaiian tholeiites of intermediate K-content, about 0.5 percent water, and alkali-rich basalts, about 0.9 percent water. Analyses of fresh basalt pillows show a systematic increase of H₂O⁺ as the rocks become more alkalic. K-poor oceanic tholeiites contain 0.06–0.42 percent H₂O⁺, Hawaiian tholeiites, 0.31–0.60 percent H₂O⁺, and alkali rich basalts 0.49–0.98 percent H₂O⁺. The contents of K₂O, P₂O₅, F, and Cl increase directly with an increase in H₂O⁺ content such that at 1.0 weight percent H₂O⁺, K₂O is 1.58 percent, P₂O₅ is 0.55 percent, F is 0.07 percent, and Cl is 0.1 percent. The measured weight percent of deuterium on the rim of one Hawaiian pillow is –6.0 (relative to SMOW); this value, which is similar to other indications of magmatic water, suggests that no appreciable sea water was absorbed by the pillow during or subsequent to eruption on the ocean floor.Concentrations of volatile constituents in the alkali basalt melts relative to tholeiitic melts can be explained by varying degrees of partial melting of mantle material or by fractional crystallization of a magma batch.Publication authorized by the Director, U.S. Geological Survey.     

Melting Relations in Part of the System CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-Na2O-H2O under 5kb Pressure

In the system CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-Na₂O-H₂O under 5 kb pressurethe invariant equilibrium forsterite-orthopyroxene-Ca-rich clinopyroxene-amphibole-plagioclase-liquid-vapourhas been identified at 960?12 ?C. A similar invariant assemblagewith spinel replacing Ca-rich clinopyroxene exists at 950?8?C. The liquid in the former equilibrium contains 16.5 per cent(wt.) normative quartz and 3 per cent Na₂O; the plagioclaseis more calcic than An₈₇; the pyroxenes contain about 3 percent Al₂O₃ and the amphibole is hypersthene-normative. Two anhydrousthermal maxima, the olivine-Ca-rich clinopyroxene-plagioclaseand the orthopyroxene-Ca-rich clinopyroxene-plagioclase dividezones are not encountered in this system, and nepheline-normativeliquids may crystallize amphibole?olivine?Ca-rich clinopyroxeneto produce quartz-normative residual liquids of andesite-typecomposition. A thermal maximum involving amphibole-olivine-Ca-richclinopyroxene-liquid-vapour exists for liquids containing approximately11 per cent normative nepheline and liquids more undersaturatedthan this will crystallize these phases to produce extremelynephelinitic liquids. Phase diagrams are presented which facilitate the predictionof crystallization sequences and liquid evolution paths forany basic or intermediate composition under the conditions employedhere.     

Trace Element Partitioning and Accessory Phase Saturation during H2O-Saturated Melting of Basalt with Implications for Subduction Zone Chemical Fluxes

Experimental phase equilibrium and trace element partitioningdata are reported for H₂O-saturated mid-ocean ridge basalt at2·5 GPa, 750–900°C and oxygen fugacities atthe nickel–nickel oxide buffer. Garnet, omphacite andrutile are present at all temperatures. Amphibole and epidotedisappear as residual phases above 800°C; allanite appearsabove 750°C. The Na–Al-rich silicate glass presentin all run products is likely to have quenched from a supercriticalliquid. Trace element analyses of glasses demonstrate the importantcontrol exerted by residual minerals on liquid chemistry. Inaddition to garnet, which controls heavy rare earth elements(HREE) and Sc, and rutile, which controls Ti, Nb and Ta, allanitebuffers the light REE (LREE; La–Sm) contents of liquidsto relatively low levels and preferentially holds back Th relativeto U. In agreement with previous experimental and metamorphicstudies we propose that residual allanite plays a key role inselectively retaining trace elements in the slab during subduction.Experimental data and analyses of allanite-bearing volcanicrocks are used to derive a model for allanite solubility inliquids as a function of pressure, temperature, anhydrous liquidcomposition and LREE content. The large temperature dependenceof allanite solubility is very similar to that previously determinedfor monazite. Our model, fitted to 48 datapoints, retrievesLREE solubility (in ppm) to within a factor of 1· 40over a pressure range of 0–4 GPa, temperature range of700–1200°C and for liquids with anhydrous SiO₂ contentsof 50–84 wt %. This uncertainty in LREE content is equivalentto a temperature uncertainty of only ± 27°C at 1000K, indicating the potential of allanite as a geothermometer.Silicic liquids from either basaltic or sedimentary protolithswill be saturated in allanite except for Ca-poor protolithsor at very high temperatures. For conventional subduction geothermsthe low solubility of LREE (+ Th) in liquids raises questionsabout the mechanism of LREE + Th transport from slab to wedge.It is suggested either that, locally, temperatures experiencedby the slab are high enough to eliminate allanite in the residueor that substantial volumes of H₂O-rich fluids must pass throughthe mantle wedge prior to melting. The solubility of accessoryphases in fluids derived from subducted rocks can provide importantconstraints on subduction zone thermal structure.

Alkali Feldspars with Water at 5 kb Pressure

Alkali feldspars with water at 5 kb begin to melt at an isobariceutectic: 703±2 °C, Or ₂₈.₅ (wt. per cent) recalculatedanhydrous. The liquidus of albite-H₂O at 5 kb is 758±3°C. The K feldspar-rich, water-saturated liquidus is essentiallythat of Yoder, Stewart, & Smith (1957), who furthermorefound orthoclase-H₂O to melt at 876 °C. The alkali feldspar solvus, determined by synthesis from glassand a few reversals using crystalline material, has a calculatedcritical temperature of 730 °C and a critical compositionof Or₃₁ (wt. per cent) using parametric equations (Thompson& Waldbaum, 1969). The Margules equation yields T_c = 738°C. The feldspars produced are structural equivalents oflow sanidine on the basis of their 060 and 04 powder X-ray diffractionpeaks. The critical line intersects the beginning of meltingcurve for the system Ab-Or-H₂O at 4.2 kb, 715 °C, the minimumconditions for the coexistence of two feldspars and liquid inthis system. The slope of the critical line, using Orville's (1963) 2 kbresults, is 18.3 °C/kb, leading to an intersection withthe kyanite-sillimanite curve of Richardson, Bell, & Gilbert(1968) at about 10.6 kb, 834 °C. The intersection with theandalusite-sillimanite curve of these authors (1969) falls atabout 3.5 kb, 703 °C. Such intersections may be used toestimate limits of P and T for a variety of crustal rocks. Because isobaric crystallization of feldspars in the water-deficientregion must enrich liquids in H₂O to the saturation point, haplosyeniticliquids with a finite initial water content must, at 5 kb totalpressure, eventually crystallize two feldspars.     

A Hornblende Basalt from Western Mexico: Water-saturated Phase Relations Constrain a Pressure-Temperature Window of Eruptibility

Trachybasalt scoria from a cinder cone near the Mexican volcanicfront contain phenocrysts of olivine with chromite inclusions,apatite, augite and hornblende, with microphenocrysts of plagioclase.The water-saturated phase relations reproduce the phenocrystassemblage between 1040°C and 970°C with water contentsof between 2·5 and 4·5% (50–150 MPa). Theabsence of biotite phenocrysts in the scoria places a tightconstraint on the pressure–temperature conditions of phenocrystequilibration, as there is only a small zone where biotite doesnot accompany hornblende in the experiments. Diluting the fluidphase with CO₂ changes the composition of the olivine, indicatingthat CO₂ was only a minor component of the fluid of the scoria.Hornblende is stable to 1040°C at oxygen fugacities of NNO+ 2 (where NNO is the nickel–nickel oxide buffer), butat lower oxygen fugacities, the upper limit is 990°C. Thereis a progressive increase in crystallinity in experimental runsas both pressure and temperature decrease. Isobaric plots ofcrystallinity show that the onset of hornblende crystallizationinvolves a reaction relation, and also results in a marked

Anhydrous Partial Melting of a Fertile and Depleted Peridotite from 2 to 30 kb and Application to Basalt Petrogenesis

Reversal experiments have been performed to check the methodof Jaques & Green (1980) to determine equilibrium partialmelts from peridotite compositions. Reversals of the Jaques& Green (1980) calculated equilibrium partial melt (CEPM)compositions have been carried out in two ways: (1) By runningCEPM compositions at original P and T conditions and testingfor multiple saturation in residual phases of the original experiments.(2) By sandwich/mixed experiments using the CEPM compositionplus peridotite (either Hawaiian pyrolite or Tinaquillo lherzolite). The glass (liquid) compositions from the first series of experimentsshow that the CEPM compositions of Jaques & Green (1980)are too olivine-rich. The glass (liquid) compositions from thesecond series of experiments define new olivine+orthopyroxene?clinopyroxenecotectics in a molecular normative tetrahedron. The new cotecticsplot towards the Qz apex of the tetrahedron, away from the cotecticsdefined by the CEPM compositions of Jaques & Green (1980).Partial melt compositions have also been determined at 20 and30 kb, using both the sandwich technique and the approach bymodal analysis and mass balance. The results of the experimental study are used to evaluate thepetrogenesis of mid-ocean ridge basalts, Hawaiian tholentesand primary magmas in intraoceanic convergent margin settings.     

Melting of a Hydrous Mantle: I. Phase Relations of Natural Peridotite at High Pressures and Temperatures with Controlled Activities of Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Hydrogen

Four natural peridotite nodules ranging from chemically depletedto Fe-rich, alkaline and calcic (SiO₂=43?7–45?7 wt. percent, Al₂O3=1?6O–8?21 wt. per cent, CaO=0?70–8?12wt. per cent,alk=0?10–0?90 wt. per cent and Mg/(Mg+Fe²⁺)=0?94–0?85)have been investigated in the hypersolidus region from 800?to 1250?C with variable activities of H₂O, CO₂, and H₂. Thevapor-saturated peridotite solidi are 50–200?C below thosepreviously published. The temperature of the beginning of meltingof peridotite decreases markedly with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material at constant CaO/Al₂O₃. Conversely,lowering CaO/Al₂O₃ reduces the temperature at constant Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material. Temperature differences between thesolidi up to 200?C are observed. All solidi display a temperatureminimum reflecting the appearance of garnet. This minimum shiftsto lower pressure with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe) of the startingmaterial. The temperature of the beginning of melting decreasesisobarically as approximately a linear function of the mol fractionof H₂O in the vapor (X_H2O). The data also show that some CO₂may dissolve in silicate melts formed by partial melting ofperidotite. Amphibole (pargasitic hornblende) is a hypersolidus mineralin all compositions, although its P/T stability field dependson bulk rock chemistry. The upper pressure stability of amphiboleis marked by the appearance of garnet. The vapor-saturated (H₂O) liquidus curve for one peridotiteis between 1250? and 1300?C between 10 and 30 kb. Olivine, spinel,and orthopyroxene are either liquidus phases or coexist immediatelybelow the temperature of the peridotite liquidus. The data suggest considerable mineralogical heterogeneity inthe oceanic upper mantle because the oceanic geotherm passesthrough the P/T band covering the appearance of garnet in variousperidotites. The variable depth to the low-velocity zone is explained byvariable a_H2O conditions in the upper mantle and possibly alsoby variations in the composition of the peridotite itself. It is suggested that komatiite in Precambrian terrane couldform by direct melting of hydrous peridotite. Such melting requiresabout 1250?C compared with 1600?C which is required for drymelting. The genesis of kimberlite can be related to partial meltingof peridotite under conditions of (). Such activities of H₂Oresult in melting at depths ranging between 125 and 175 km inthe mantle. This range is within the minimum depth generallyaccepted for the formation of kimberlite.     

Melting of a Hydrous Mantle: I. Phase Relations of Natural Peridotite at High Pressures and Temperatures with Controlled Activities of Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Hydrogen

Four natural peridotite nodules ranging from chemically depletedto Fe-rich, alkaline and calcic (SiO₂ = 43.7–45.7 wt.per cent, A1₂O₃ = 1.6O–8.21 wt. per cent, CaO = 0.70–8.12wt. per cent, alk = 0.10–0.90 wt. per cent and Mg/(Mg+Fe²⁺)= 0.94–0.85) have been investigated in the hypersolidusregion from 800? to 1250?C with variable activities of H₂O,CO₂, and H₂. The vapor-saturated peridotite solidi are 50–200?Cbelow those previously published. The temperature of the beginningof melting of peridotite decreases markedly with decreasingMg/(Mg+SFe) of the starting material at constant CaO/Al₂O₃.Conversely, lowering CaO/Al₂O₃ reduces the temperature at constantMg/(Mg+Fe) of the starting material. Temperature differencesbetween the solidi up to 200?C are observed. All solidi displaya temperature minimum reflecting the appearance of garnet. Thisminimum shifts to lower pressure with decreasing Mg/(Mg + Fe)of the starting material. The temperature of the beginning ofmelting decreases isobarically as approximately a linear functionof the mol fraction of H₂O in the vapor (X_H2O^v). The data alsoshow that some CO₂ may dissolve in silicate melts formed bypartial melting of peridotite. Amphibole (pargasitic hornblende) is a hypersolidus mineralin all compositions, although its P/T stability field dependson bulk rock chemistry. The upper pressure stability of amphiboleis marked by the appearance of garnet. The vapor-saturated (H₂O) liquidus curve for one peridotiteis between 1250? and 1300?C between 10 and 30 kb. Olivine, spinel,and orthopyroxene are either liquidus phases or co-exist immediatelybelow the temperature of the peridotite liquidus. The data suggest considerable mineralogical heterogeneity inthe oceanic upper mantle because the oceanic geotherm passesthrough the P/T band covering the appearance of garnet in variousperidotites. The variable depth to the low-velocity zone is explained byvariable aHjo conditions in the upper mantle and possibly alsoby variations in the composition of the peridotite itself. Itis suggested that komatiite in Precambrian terrane could formby direct melting of hydrous peridotite. Such melting requiresabout 1250?C compared with 1600?C which is required for drymelting. The genesis of kimberlite can be related to partial meltingof peridotite under conditions of X_H2O^v = 0.5–0.25 (X_CO2^v= 0.5–0.75). Such activities of H₂O result in meltingat depths ranging between 125 and 175 km in the mantle. Thisrange is within the minimum depth generally accepted for theformation of kimberlite.     

河北阳原新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩捕虏体的含水量研究

为约束华北克拉通岩石圈的流变机制,使用傅立叶变换显微红外光谱仪（FTIR）测量了阳原玄武岩中尖晶石橄榄岩捕虏体的矿物含水量。FTIR光谱结果表明阳原橄榄岩捕虏体的橄榄石、斜方辉石和单斜辉石都有特征的OH吸收峰。橄榄石含有微量的水（4×10-6~9×10-6 H2O）,斜方辉石含水量为（105~201）×10-6,单斜辉石含水量为（260~440）×10-6,计算得出的全岩含水量为（49~75）×10-6。值得注意的是,富流体交代以及后期蚀变作用使得含角闪石的方辉橄榄岩样品中单斜辉石的含水量显著增加。阳原橄榄岩中单斜辉石与斜方辉石的含水量存在明显的正相关关系,水在单斜辉石和斜方辉石中的分配系数D cpx/opxOH =2.4±0.9,与全球橄榄岩样品的平均值基本一致（D cpx/opx OH = 2.2±0.1）。与汉诺坝的橄榄岩捕虏体相比,阳原捕虏体中橄榄石和辉石的结构水含量都明显较高,这可能与阳原橄榄岩经历的上地幔交代作用有关。统计表明全球克拉通玄武岩携带的尖晶石橄榄岩捕虏体中橄榄石的含水量普遍较低（0~10×10-6）,而斜方辉石和单斜辉石的含水量则存在明显的不均一性。金伯利岩携带的石榴石橄榄岩中橄榄石、斜方辉石和单斜辉石的含水量都明显高于玄武岩携带的尖晶石橄榄岩中相应矿物的含水量,这可能与金伯利岩来源深、富流体、上升快的性质相关。     

饱水黏性土释水响应压力规律分析

利用亲水性各异的饱和黏性土,开展不同压力条件下的压密试验,确定试验条件下黏性土中弱结水释水过程对外界应力的响应关系;依据响应关系,研究饱和黏性土中弱结合水的释水机理与规律;再根据土体孔隙比与压力之间对应关系,构建出饱和黏性土中亲水性、孔隙比与弱结合水之间的函数关系。研究表明:土体中弱结合水排出只受土体亲水性大小与孔隙比大小影响,不受其他因素制约;外界压力通过改变土体中的孔隙比大小,从而间接影响到土体中弱结合水排出,导致排水总体积大于土体压缩总体积,两者的差值随外界压力增加而呈非线性关系增大,与孔隙比呈自然对数关系。     

Wallrock Melting and Reaction Effects along the Higganum Diabase Dike in Connecticut: Contamination of a Continental Flood Basalt Feeder

The question of whether continental flood basalts are contaminatedwith crustal material during ascent through the lithosphereis addressed through a study of the feeder dike to the firstof the Mesozoic flood basalts in the Hartford basin of Connecticut.Faulting associated with basin formation exposed the dike, notonly where it connects with the flood basalt, but also at levelsthat may have been as deep as 10 km at the time of crystallization.Wallrocks at all levels of exposure and along the entire 250-kmlength of this 50–60 m wide dike show evidence of partialmelting and contamination of the diabase magma. Melting of the wallrocks took place on grain boundaries betweenquartz and feldspar, especially where these boundaries werefluxed with water released from the breakdown of biotite. Themelts were simple mixtures of quartz and the particular feldsparinvolved rather than equilibrium minimum compositions, probablybecause heating rates were faster than melting rates. The meltscrystallized to form granophyre. Feldspars in direct contactwith the diabase partly melted, with plagioclase developingthe fingerprint texture and orthoclase being converted to anexceptionally fine-grained mixture of plagioclase and quartz. Melts generated in the wallrocks were forced into the marginsof the dike by the volume expansion caused by melting. The earliestmelts to enter the dike are preserved as felsic wisps in thechilled margins, but at distances of more than a few centimetersfrom the edge of the dike they appear to have been assimilatedby the diabase magma. Melts that entered the dike after themargins had solidified were intruded as crosscutting granophyreveins. Chemical profiles across the dike reveal that the contaminantswere not restricted to narrow marginal zones but entered themain body of the dike. Thus, by the time this magma had risento the surface and erupted as the Talcott basalt it had assimilateda significant amount of crustal material, which accounts forthe change from olivine normative compositions in the deepestlevel exposures of the dike to quartz normative ones in thebasalt. Mass balance calculations indicate that the Talcottbasalt may have had {small tilde}6% granophyre added to it duringthe magma's ascent through the last 10 km of the crust. Theamount assimilated in traversing the entire continental crustwould therefore be greater than this.     

洋岛和洋底高原玄武岩数据挖掘：地球化学特征及其与MORB的对比

本文集合了GEOROC和PetDB两个数据库的资料,对全球洋岛玄武岩(Ocean Island Basalt,OIB)和洋底高原玄武岩(Ocean Plateau Basalt,OPB)数据进行分析研究。OIB和OPB是板内岩浆活动的产物,其形成一般与地幔柱(热点)有关。OPB通常指示地幔柱的头部,温度相对较低;OIB代表地幔柱的尾部,温度较高。我们对OIB的数据研究表明,OIB中的不相容元素并非像先前认为的那么富集,在构造判别图中,OIB和洋中脊玄武岩(Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt,MORB)有很大一部分是重叠的,揭示OIB源区既有强烈富集不相容元素的,也有明显亏损的,甚至还有强烈亏损类似岛弧玄武岩(Island Arc Basalt,IAB)的。OPB是指发育在海洋和大陆边缘的来自地幔的巨量玄武岩,虽然与OIB同属于板内环境,但OPB的地球化学性质更接近富集型洋中脊玄武岩(Enrich Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt,E-MORB),可能具有OIB和MORB之间过渡的特征。研究表明,OIB和OPB的源区除了来自下地幔以外(地幔柱),部分可能来自上地幔,有些还可能与板块消减带物质的再循环作用有关。因此,OIB和OPB的成因不可能只用地幔柱一种模式予以解释,还应当考虑板块活动中其他因素(洋壳再循环、古老陆壳再循环、消减带物质以及水的加入,部分熔融程度、岩浆混合作用、不同地幔端元混合等)的影响。
