Polybaric crystallization differentiation of H sub(2)O-saturated island arc low-K tholeiite magmas: a case study of the Izu-Oshima volcano in the Izu arc

Island arc low-K tholeiites are basaltic magmas erupting from frontal arc volcanoes of juvenile arcs associated with the subduction of old and cold plates. We investigated the origins of geochemical variation in volcanic rocks having multiple phase saturated liquid compositions from the Izu-Oshima v...

Description
Summary:Island arc low-K tholeiites are basaltic magmas erupting from frontal arc volcanoes of juvenile arcs associated with the subduction of old and cold plates. We investigated the origins of geochemical variation in volcanic rocks having multiple phase saturated liquid compositions from the Izu-Oshima volcano in the northern Izu arc. The geochemical variations in the liquids fall between two endmember trends, namely higher- and lower-Al/Si trends. Polybaric differentiation of H sub(2)O-saturated melts between a 4-km-deep magma chamber and degassed melts near the surface should be responsible for the observed variation in the liquids.
