Transition Zone (Mantle Discontinuities) While not a discontinuity in the same sense, The transition zone between the upper and lower mantle is marked by phase changes in minerals, especially olivine. At a depth of about 410 km, olivine transforms into wadsleyite, and at about 660 km, it tran...

Different evolutionary trajectories of compositionally similar primary magmas are controlled by the conditions of their further fractional crystallization: in compressional environments and with fluids saturating the melts in subduction zones for the former and in extensional environments and free magma ascent ...
The affinity of the mantle component in the MRF arc rocks can help increase our understanding of the initiation of any new subduction zone in the inter-American region. Trace element geochemistry demonstrates that the MRF mantle source component was N-MORB-like. Conversely, younger circum-Caribbean...
