Some researchers believe that the mafic enclaves represent magma underplating and magma mixing [68,69,70], while others believe that mafic enclaves reflect a dynamic background of subduction and generally attest to the presence of a subduction zone arc or active continental margin [71,72]. Overall, the intrusion of mantle-derived magma into the ...
Felsic magma is molten rock (magma) with a high concentration of silica, sodium and potassium (these are common together) as opposed to a mafic (dark) magma, which is typically richer in iron, magnesium and calcium. Felsic magmas are typically 'stickier' than mafic magmas, and are lighter in …
Dynamic Mixing in Magma Bodies' Theory, Simulations, and Implications ... silicic magma has lower density than the mafic magma. Because of the action of normal and shear strains, the average size of entrained clumps decreases through time although not uniformly. The silicic melt in the upper layer

Evidence of magma mixing in the Sierra Nevadas. Mafic magma mixing with more felsic magma forming a pluton in the Sierra Nevada batholith. All of this mind blowing geology at an epic scale was seen on a section hike of the PCT in the Desolation Wilderness. My family has a cabin 10 minutes away from desolation wilderness.
Mafic magmas have, indeed, higher temperature of crystallization compared to felsic magmas. Therefore, when they are surrounded by colder felsic magma, they tend to quench or rapidly crystallize, producing very fine-grained enclaves, known as mafic microgranular enclaves or simply mafic enclaves. Magma mingling and mixing
Abstract Abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) extensively distribute in granitoids in the Gangdise giant magmatic belt, within which the Quxu batholith is the most typical MME-bearing pluton. Systematic sampling for granodioritic host rock, mafic microgranular enclaves and gabbro nearby at two locations in the Quxu batholith, and subsequent zircon SHRIMP II U-Pb dating have been conducted.
Ore deposits related to mafic igneous rocks ... –Mixing of magmas – The reef represents a mixing zone between two different magmas. –Mixing of minerals – The Merensky is a cumulus rock in which minerals from different portions of the chamber have accumulated.
For an initial water content of a few per cent the bulk density of the mafic magma can become equal to that of the overlying magma causing overturning and intimate mixing of the magmas.
Differentiated liquids in magma chambers can mix with new influxes of mantle-derived magmas. In addition, these mantle-derived magmas can provide heat for crustal melting and can even mix with the anatectic melts (e.g., Wilson, 1989). The mixing of primitive magmas with more differentiated magmas may result in the exsolution of a
Mafic enclaves are ubiquitous in granitic plutons and in some cases represent evidence of mingling between mafic and felsic magmas. To better understand whether such mingling, as seen on the outcrop (meter) scale, plays an important role in the generation of intermediate magmas at the crustal (>km) scale, we characterized the geochemical signatures of mixing through a fine-scale geochemical ...
In 1851, chemist Robert Bunsen suggested that the mixing of two magmas, one mafic and the other felsic, in various proportions might account for the wide range of chemical compositions of igneous rocks. Based on flaws in several of its secondary provisions, the whole hypothesis was rejected by a succession of influential critics and remained in ...
MAGMA MIXING IN MAFIC ROCKS OF URALIAN-ALASKAN-TYPE MAFIC-ULTRAMAFIC COMPLEXES IN THE URAL MOUNTAINS, RUSSIA: EVIDENCE FOR COEVAL MELTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES ... After mixing of these magmas the clinopyroxene cores were overgrown by clinopyroxene crystallizing from the hybrid magma. The addition of more
Glass compositions can provide a detailed record of the heterogeneity of 'primary' melts, magma recharge and mixing [28,29], ascent rate and syn-eruptive mixing [31,32], particularly in hydrous mafic magmas that crystallize rapidly during decompression. Here we explore glass compositions of both relatively dry ocean island tholeiites and ...
Magma mixing is the process by which two magmas meet, comingle, and form a magma of a composition somewhere between the two end-member magmas. Magma mixing is a common process in volcanic magma chambers, which are open-system chambers where magmas enter the chamber, [4] undergo some form of assimilation, fractional crystallisation and partial ...
The magma mixing would occur between mafic melts that were derived from partial melting of the heterogeneously metasomatic mantle domains in the postcollisional stage. As a consequence, the source and magma mixing processes in the continental subduction factory are responsible for the significant variations in the whole-rock and mineral ...
We review evidence that these minerals have crystallized from mugearite, trachyte or phonolite magmas, and their presence in mafic alkaline rocks is due to magma mixing. The intermediate and salic magmas may sometimes be generated at mantle depths, possibly by …
¶Mafic microgranular enclaves occur in most calc-alkaline granitoids, and it is widely accepted that they represent the remnants of basic magmas that interacted with more acid magmas. In this work we present new data on mafic microgranular enclaves occurring in the granodiorites of the Sithonia Plutonic Complex (Northern Greece). Enclave properties have been studied using different methods ...
12%6 Magma Mixing Time Scale and Eruption Trigger. The most violent and catastrophic volcanic eruptions on Earth have been triggered by the refilling of a felsic volcanic magma chamber by a hottest and more mafic magma (Kent et al. 2010; Murphy 1998 ). Examples include Vesuvius 79 AD (Cioni et al. 1995 ), Krakatau 1883 (Self 1992 ), Pinatubo 1991 ...
Mixing between mafic and felsic magmas in arc crust is considered to be an essential process not only for generating various arc magmas (Anderson 1976; Koyaguchi 1986; Sakuyama 1979; Ueki and Iwamori 2017), but also for the chemical evolution of a continental arc (Arndt 2013; Hildreth and Moorbath 1988; Tatsumi and Suzuki 2009).Understanding magma mixing could also be important for ...
In 1851, chemist Robert Bunsen suggested that the mixing of two magmas, one mafic and the other felsic, in various proportions might account for the wide range of chemical compositions of igneous rocks. Based on flaws in several of its secondary provisions, the whole hypothesis was rejected by a succession of influential critics and remained in disrepute for a hundred years.
It is worth noting that the isotopic variations of samples fit well to the mixing modeling curves between the end-members of the most depleted mantle and the coeval Daxueshan mafic-ultramafic rocks (Figures 2c and 8) (Wang et al., 2018), suggesting that the …
The large range in mineral compositions and textures imply that given sufficient mafic input, preeruptive mixing is a remarkably efficient process, even in silicic magmas. View Show abstract
In the Tonglu complex the most primitive magma is a mafic monzonite (preserved as enclaves), whose isotopic composition suggests derivation from the lower crust; rhyodacites, rhyolites and quartz diorites reflect the mixing of the monzonite with ≥2 more felsic magmas, derived from older crustal materials.
Some researchers believe that the mafic enclaves represent magma underplating and magma mixing [68,69,70], while others believe that mafic enclaves reflect a dynamic background of subduction and generally attest to the presence of a subduction zone …
Magma mixing. The role of mafic magma intrusion at depth in supplying mass, heat and volatiles is often a key driving force of andesitic eruptions. The current eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat has been ongoing since 1995 with 5 phases of extrusive andesitic lava dome building to date.
