Significant volume of wet melting requires an influx of H2O-rich volatile phase. In hydrate-
breakdown melting, initial melt accumulation is diffusion-controlled and melt accumulates …

At low temperatures (< 750 C at moderate to high crustal pressures), the production of
sufficient melt to reach the melt connectivity transition (∼ 7 vol%), enabling melt drainage …

Gneissoid granites were traditionally thought to be the components of the Precambrian
basement in the eastern South China Block, but twenty-four gneissoid granite samples from …

Volumetrically significant melt production requires crustal temperatures above
approximately 800° C. At the grain scale, the former presence of melt may be inferred based …

The formation and differentiation of the continental crust occurs at convergent plate margins
in accretionary and collisional orogenic belts where sufficient heat is generated to achieve …

Partial melting and melt drainage from deep suprasolidus crust in orogens has important
consequences for tectonics. Melt extraction along prograde segments of clockwise P–T …

The Makalu leucogranite in the eastern Nepal Himalaya is a multiphase intrusion forming
the structurally highest foliation‐parallel sheets along the top of the Greater Himalayan …

Abstract The Higher Himalayan Crystalline Sequence (HHCS) provides an excellent natural
laboratory to study continental subduction, crustal melting and tectonic evolution of orogenic …

Melt that crystallizes as granite at shallow crustal levels in orogenic belts originates from
migmatite and residual granulite in the deep crust; this is the most important mass-transfer …

Granites are important components of the Earth's continental crust and represent the net
effect of thermochemical processes that operate during partial melting, magma extraction …
