The composition of near-solidus melts of peridotite in the presence of CO 2 and H 2 O between 40 and 60 kbar

Abstract

Partial melting experiments at 40, 50 and 60 kbar pressure on three peridotite compositions with 0.5-0.63 wt.% H2O and 2.0-3.2 wt.% CO2 added indicate melting temperatures only marginally above continental geotherms. Most experiments were performed on Show more
