“Geotherm” – a line or surface of actual temperature in the Earth as a function of depth and pressure

  • Ex. 1500°C at

350 km and 13,000 *Mpa (~1.9M psi) 2. *Mpa = megapascal

“solid” – The temperature is not high enough to allow any melt. “solidus” – The temperature at which rock will begin to melt at a particular depth. “liquidus” – The temperature at which all

  • f the rock will melt.

Note: in one mass of earthen material (like magma), all forms could be present.

Factors determining magma character:

1) Composition – geochemical make-up i. Basalt dominant, lower Si, (Hawaii, ocean ridges) ii. Rhyolite/andesite, higher Si (Cascades, subduction zones) 2) Viscosity – thickness or stickiness of flow i. High = thicker, explosive (Yellowstone, Cascades)

  • ii. Low = more fluid-like, flows easily (Hawaii)

3) SiO4 (tetrahedron) content i. High = locked tightly, builds pressure ii. Low = flows easier, less constrained 4) Temperature i. High = atoms oscillate, weaker bonds, less pressure ii. Low = pressure builds to explosive 5) Water content i. High = flows easier, lower pressure, separates Si tetrahedron, BUT also can cool magma to increase pressure ii. Low = viscosity increase, higher pressure
