Eiichi Sato, Hiroaki Sato Study of effect of magma pocket on mixing of two magmas with different viscosities and densities by analogue experiments, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 181, -2 1-2 (Mar 2009): 115–123.Magma mixing is a widespread, if not universal igneous phenomenon of variable importance. The evidence for magma mixing is found primarily in glassy tephra; the consolidation of lava obscures the evidence. ... Experimental melting studies on a model upper mantle composition at high pressure under water-saturated and water-undersaturated ...
Rocks of intermediate composition within the 'Daly Gap' can be explained only by magma mixing between an already differentiated mafic magma (hawaiite) and an anorthoclase-rich trachytic melt in the lower and higher parts, respectively, of a stratified magmatic chamber. ... The study of magmatic enclaves from a suite of lavas characterized ...Introduction. Magma mixing is a common magmatic process during formation of granitoids (Kumar et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2013; Xiong et al., 2020).Previous studies suggest that magma mixing can be important for formation of critical metal deposits (e.g., Ma et al., 2013).If mafic magma injects into felsic magma during magma mixing, microgranular mafic enclaves …
[2] In the context of studies on the interaction between magma and liquefied sediments we proposed a model for the hydrodynamic mixing of these two liquids [Zimanowski and Büttner, 2002], derived from experimental studies in polymer research [Utracki and Shi, 1992; Ziegler and Wolf, 1999].This model calculates the size of domains of one liquid …Our results show broad chemical and petrographic evidence for magma mixing. Previous studies (Graham and Cole, 1991; Shiraki et al., 1994; Cole et al., 2001) had suggested the occurrence of such mixing to explain the compositional and zonation differences between high-Mg olivine and the plagioclase and pyroxene from the 1977 ejecta, without ...
first proposed quantitative metrics to describe mixing in convectively driven magma bodies. Later studies by Petrelli et al. (2006, 2011) and Spera et al. (2016) showed how various metrics could be used to study interactions of two distinct melts. Following Spera et al. (2016), we consider melt mixing to be the umbrella term that encom-Magma mixing is an inevitable process during a volcanic arc build up and its evolution. It usually occurs by repeated injections of new and hotter mafic magma chambers (replenishment) and mixing with pre-existing magma in …
Magma mixing occurs when mafic and felsic magmas come into contact with each other and begin to react. Sometimes, the mixing simply results in the formation of an intermediate magma that blends the two. Other time, the gases and minerals react explosively and initiate an eruption.A new study into the volcano reveals that pre-eruption mixing within the magma chamber — where older, cooler magma mixed with younger, hotter magma — triggered three previous large-scale ...
Abstract. RECENT studies of volcanic eruptions have brought to light a puzzling sequence: the ejection of dense and mixed liquids followed by a larger volume of unmixed, less dense liquid 1–4 ...Evidence of contamination is present in most tephra studied so far. Magma mixing appears to be the prevalent process whereby contamination occurs. Magma mixing …
Mixing models constructed using the Magma Chamber Simulator reproduce the mineralogy and compositions of Episode 54 lavas within uncertainties, and suggest that the identity of the low-MgO magma body may be either variably differentiated remnants of un-erupted magmas intruded into Napau Crater in October 1968, or another spatially and ...convective magma mixing is discussed in quantitative terms. The quantitative study of convective magma mixing is complicated by uncertainty about most of the potentially critical factors. These include, for instance, the transport properties of the mixing magmas (e.g., viscosity, chemical
Abstract 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 …Two series of experiments were carried out: one involving gravity-driven convective mixing and one involving diffusive mixing. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of mixing of contrasting magmas in the course of relative motion. Less viscous mafic melt transforms into andesitic much more easily than viscous silicic melt.
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 …Magma mixing of the two nephelinites are evidenced by sudden changes in the melt chemistry in both ash sample sets. In the combeite-wollastonite-nephelinite (OL2), combeite microlites exhibit resorbtion rims indicative of mineral instability, and nepheline from this assemblage has a distinct chemical boundary withinrim, evidenced by Mg overgrowth.
Thus, detailed studies carried out on these complex intrusions can provide the key to a better understanding of magma mixing. The aim of this contribution is to go deeper into the understanding of crystal transfer during magma mixing, based on a study of two composite dykes from the Maladeta Plutonic Complex (Pyrenees, Spain).Magma dominantly exists in a slowly cooling crystal-rich or mushy state 1,2,3.Yet, observations of complexly zoned crystals 4, some formed in …
Magma mixing occurs when mafic and felsic magmas come into contact with each other and begin to react. Sometimes, the mixing simply results in the formation of an intermediate …It is this second step that we wish to address more specifically in our study. Previous work has considered magma mixing using analogical, numerical or experimental approaches 8,9,10,11,12,13,14 ...
Depending on the density difference, one of the possible processes dominates: In the case of a small difference (less than 30–40 kg/m 3), magma mixing and hybridization in a small contact zone takes place; in the case of a large difference (100 kg/m 3 or more), magma mingling predominates. The viscosity contrast, in turn, determines whether ...Abstract.

The study highlights that reversed isotope magma mixing should be considered for all well-mixed magma systems, where cryptic, mineral-scale evidence may persist. 2 Geological Setting and Petrography The South China Block, which hosts the studied complex, is composed of two major blocks: the Yangtze block to the northwest and the Cathaysia block ...It has become common practice to apply the term "magma mingling" to refer to the process of physical dispersion (no chemical exchanges are involved) of one or more magmas in another magma. The term "magma mixing" is instead used to indicate that mingling is also accompanied by chemical exchanges (e.g. Flinders and Clemens 1996 ).
