Geochemical Characteristics of Melts from the Eastern Volcanic Belt and Sredinny Range of Kamchatka: Analysis of Evidence from Melt Inclusions
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We analyzed sets of published data on the composition of glasses from melt inclusions in minerals of volcanics from the Eastern Volcanic Front and Sredinny Range of Kamchatka. A significant difference was revealed between the distribution of silica contents in the rocks and melts: intermediate compositions are most common among the rocks, whereas the melts are dominantly silicic. The distribution of major and trace element was analyzed. It was shown that the contents of some elements are environment-specific (e. g., Nb and light REE). We distinguished trace element ratios in melts that most strongly correlate with the geodynamic setting.
