Agu Fall Meeting Abstracts, Dec 1, 2009

Previous decompression experiments of hydrous and crystal-free rhyolitic magmas have produced BNDs up to 1013 m-3 at the highest decompression rate (8.5 MPa/s; Mangan and Sisson, 2000), while observed BNDs in natural silicic pumices commonly exhibit much higher BNDs: up to 1016 m-3. To reproduce such huge BNDs and to characterize effects of magma ascent rate on bubble nucleation kinetics, we carried out decompression experiments of crystal-free rhyolitic liquid with 6.6 wt.% H2O at a pressure range from 250 MPa to 30-75 MPa, at decompression rates of 10 MPa/s and 90 MPa/s. A first series of experiments at 800 °C and fast decompression rates (10-90 MPa/s) produced huge BNDs (2×1014 m-3 at 10 MPa/s; 2×1015 m-3 at 90 MPa/s), comparable to those in natural silicic pumices from Plinian eruptions (1015-1016 m-3). A second series of experiments at 700 °C and 1 MPa/s produced BNDs (9×1012 m-3) close to those observed at 800 °C and 1 MPa/s (6×1012 m-3; Mourtada-Bonnefoi and Laporte, 2004). These experimental results confirm that BNDs are strongly depending on decompression rate and that temperature has an insignificant effect on BNDs at a given decompression rate. Therefore, BNDs are good markers of the decompression rate of magmas in volcanic conduits irrespective of temperature. Observed BNDs in natural silicic pumices from Plinian eruptions are as high as 1016 m-3. In addition, bubbles commonly show a bimodal size distribution with a numerically minor population of large bubbles (about 109 m-3), and a major population of smaller bubbles, typically from a few μm to a few tens of μm in diameter. Such huge number densities of bubbles may be attributed to two successive nucleation events in ascending magmas. The large bubbles are presumably related to a first nucleation event that happens relatively deep in the conduit at low decompression rate (about 0.01 MPa/s). The huge popolation of small bubbles implies that a second nucleation event occurs in the upper volcanic conduit at much faster decompression rate(≥ 1 MPa/s). Literature Toramaru A. (1995). Jour.

wedge. Such xenoliths occur in magmas from Iraya and Pinatubo volcanoes, located at the volcanic front of the
Luzon arc in the Philippines. In this study, we present the major element compositions of the main minerals,
trace element abundances in pyroxenes and amphiboles, and Nd–Sr isotopic compositions of amphiboles in
the peridotite xenoliths from Pinatubo volcano. The data indicate enrichment in fluid-mobile elements, such as
Rb, Ba, U, Pb, and Sr, and Nd–Sr isotopic ratios relative to those of mantle. The results are considered in terms
of mixing of asthenospheric mantle and subducting oceanic crustal components. The enrichments observed in
the Pinatubo mantle xenoliths are much less pronounced than those reported for the Iraya mantle xenoliths.
This disparity suggests differences in the metasomatic agents contributing to the two suites; i.e., aqueous fluids
infiltrated the mantle wedge beneath the Pinatubo volcano, whereas aqueous fluids and sediment-derived
melts infiltrated the mantle wedge beneath the Iraya volcano.

Halogen and noble gas systematics are powerful tracers of volatile recycling in subduction zones.... more Halogen and noble gas systematics are powerful tracers of volatile recycling in subduction zones. We present halogen and noble gas compositions of mantle peridotites containing H 2 O-rich fluid inclusions collected at volcanic fronts from two contrasting subduction zones (the Avacha volcano of Kamchatka arc and the Pinatubo volcano of Luzon arcs) and orogenic peridotites from a peridotite massif (the Horoman massif, Hokkaido, Japan) which represents an exhumed portion of the mantle wedge. The aims are to determine how volatiles are carried into the mantle wedge and how the subducted fluids modify halogen and noble gas compositions in the mantle. The halogen and noble gas signatures in the H 2 O-rich fluids are similar to those of marine sedimentary pore fluids and forearc and seafloor serpentinites. This suggests that marine pore fluids in deep-sea sediments are carried by serpentine and supplied to the mantle wedge, preserving their original halogen and noble gas compositions. We suggest that the sedimentary pore fluid-derived water is incorporated into serpentine through hydration in a closed system along faults at the outer rise of the oceanic, preserving Cl/H 2 O and 36 Ar/H 2 O values of sedimentary pore fluids. Dehydration–hydration process within the oceanic lithospheric mantle maintains the closed system until the final stage of serpentine dehydration. The sedimentary pore fluid-like halogen and noble gas signatures in fluids released at the final stage of serpentine dehydration are preserved due to highly channelized flow, whereas the original Cl/H 2 O and 36 Ar/H 2 O ratios are fractionated by the higher incompatibility of halogens and noble gases in hydrous minerals.

However, a definite conclusion has yet to be reached regarding the nature of the hydrous phase or phases that have the capacity to efficiently transport water down to such depths. In their study, Nishihara and Matsukage ( Am Mineral, 2016, April issue) show that (FeH)1-xTixO2 can be stable in wet basalts and sediments in high pressure and high temperature conditions. These phases allow the subducting lithosphere to transport far more water to the mantle transition zone than previously thought possible.

Whether the slab-derived flux is an aqueous fluid, a partial melt, or a supercritical fluid remains an open question. In general, with increasing pressure, aqueous fluids dissolve more silicate components and silicate melts dissolve more H2O. Under low-pressure conditions, those aqueous fluids and hydrous silicate melts remain isolated phases due to the miscibility gap. As pressure increases, the miscibility gap disappears and the two liquid phases becomes one phase. This vanishing point is regarded as critical end point or second critical end point. X-ray radiography experiments locate the pressure of the second critical end point at 2.5 GPa( 83 km depth)and 700 °C for sediment-H2O, and at 2.8 GPa (92 km depth) and 750 °C for high-Mg andesite(HMA)-H2O. These depths correspond to the depth range of a subducted oceanic plate beneath volcanic arcs. Sediment-derived supercritical fluids, which are fed to the mantle wedge from the subducting slab, may react with the mantle peridotite to form HMA supercritical fluids due to peritectic reaction between silica-rich fluids and olivine-rich mantle peridotite. Such HMA supercritical fluids may separate into aqueous fluids and HMA melts at 92 km depth during ascent. HMA magmas can be erupted as they are, if the HMA melts segregate without reacting to the overriding peridotite. Partitioning behaviors between aqueous fluids and melts are determined with and without(Na, K)Cl using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence. The data indicate that highly saline fluids effectively transfer large-ion lithophile elements. If the slab-derived supercritical fluids contain Cl and subsequently separate into aqueous fluids and melts in the mantle wedge, then such aqueous fluids inherit much more Cl and also more or less amounts of large ion lithophile elements than the coexisting melts. In contrast, Cl-free aqueous fluids cannot effectively transfer Pb and alkali earth elements to the magma source. Enrichment of some large-ion lithophile elements in arc basalts relative to mid-oceanic ridge basalts has been attributed to mantle source fertilization by such aqueous fluids from a dehydrating oceanic plate. Such aqueous fluids are likely to contain Cl, although the amount remains to be quantified. If such silica-rich magmas survive as andesitic melts under a limited reaction with mantle minerals, they may erupt as HMA magmas having slab-derived signatures.

fluids from the subducting slab to the sub-arc mantle. Partitioning of large-ion lithophile elements between
aqueous fluids and melts is crucial as these two liquid phases are present in the sub-arc pressure-temperature
conditions. Using a micro-focused synchrotron X-ray beam, in situ X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra were obtained
from aqueous fluids and haplogranite or jadeite melts at 0.3 to 1.3 GPa and 730°C to 830°C under varied concentrations
of (Na, K)Cl (0 to 25 wt.%). Partition coefficients between the aqueous fluids and melts were calculated for Pb, Rb, and
Sr (D fluid/melt
Pb; Rb; Sr). There was a positive correlation between D fluid/melt
Pb; Rb; Sr values and pressure, as well as D fluid/melt
Pb; Rb; Sr values and
salinity. As compared to the saline fluids with 25 wt.% (Na, K)Cl, the Cl-free aqueous fluids can only dissolve one tenth
(Pb, Rb) to one fifth (Sr) of the amount of large-ion lithophile elements when they coexist with the melts. In the
systems with 13 to 25 wt.% (Na, K)Cl, D fluid/melt
Pb; Rb values were greater than unity, which is indicative of the capacity of
such highly saline fluids to effectively transfer Pb and Rb. Enrichment of large-ion lithophile elements such as Pb and
Rb in arc basalts relative to mid-oceanic ridge basalts (MORB) has been attributed to mantle source fertilization by
aqueous fluids from dehydrating oceanic plates. Such aqueous fluids are likely to contain Cl, although the amount

from the Ichinomegata volcano, located on the rear-arc side
of the Northeast Japan arc, may be considered as samples
of the uppermost mantle above the melting region in the
mantle wedge. Thus, these fluid inclusions provide valuable
information on the nature of fluids present in the subarc
mantle. The inclusions in the Ichinomegata amphibolebearing
spinel–plagioclase lherzolite xenoliths were found
to be composed mainly of CO2–H2O–Cl–S fluids. At equilibrium
temperature of 920 °C, the fluid inclusions preserve
pressures of 0.66–0.78 GPa, which correspond to depths
of 23–28 km. The molar fraction of H2O and the salinity
of fluid inclusions are 0.18–0.35 and 3.71 ± 0.78 wt%
NaCl equivalent, respectively. These fluid inclusions are
not believed to be fluids derived directly from the subducting
slab, but rather fluids exsolved from sub-arc basaltic magmas that are formed through partial melting of mantle
wedge triggered by slab-derived fluids.

from the Ichinomegata volcano, located on the rear-arc side
of the Northeast Japan arc, may be considered as samples
of the uppermost mantle above the melting region in the
mantle wedge. Thus, these fluid inclusions provide valuable
information on the nature of fluids present in the subarc
mantle. The inclusions in the Ichinomegata amphibolebearing
spinel–plagioclase lherzolite xenoliths were found
to be composed mainly of CO2–H2O–Cl–S fluids. At equilibrium
temperature of 920 °C, the fluid inclusions preserve
pressures of 0.66–0.78 GPa, which correspond to depths
of 23–28 km. The molar fraction of H2O and the salinity
of fluid inclusions are 0.18–0.35 and 3.71 ± 0.78 wt%
NaCl equivalent, respectively. These fluid inclusions are
not believed to be fluids derived directly from the subducting
slab, but rather fluids exsolved from sub-arc basaltic magmas that are formed through partial melting of mantle
wedge triggered by slab-derived fluids.
