Magma Types Based on Chemistry
Criteria:
MgO = 11 – 17 wt%
Cr > 1000 ppm
Ni > 400-500 ppm
Origin of Basaltic Magmas
1. Decompression melting of
mantle (peridotite) to produce
primary basaltic magmas
2. Fractional crystallization in
shallow crustal magma chambers
Origin of Andesitic Magmas
Modification of a Basaltic “Parent”
1. Crystallization in Magma Chambers
3. Magma Mixing:
(basalt + rhyolite = andesite)
Mt. St.
Andesitic Medium 3-4% 60% Medium Composite Helens
Rhyolitic High Greatest Cinder
4-6% 70% Yellowstone
Cone
*The higher the gas content, the more explosive the magma is going to be
Processes That Change Magma Compositions
Primary Process
Partial Melting of Different Materials (e.g. mantle, oceanic
crust, continental crust, etc.)
magma composition progressively changes as crystals are physically “removed” from the magma.
Bowen’s Reaction Series
• Theoretical order in which common igneous crystallize, and generally speaking correct!
• Used in early 1900’s (by N.L. Bowen) to explain the origin of granite from primary basaltic
magmas. True only in rare cases.
