Experimental studies of synthetic and natural basalt systems suggest that conditions of
magma genesis and fractionation depend fundamentally on mantle temperatures and …

Abstract The North Atlantic Igneous Province extends from eastern Canada to the British
Isles, a pre-drift distance of almost 2000 km. The igneous rocks are predominantly basaltic …

We report major and trace element composition, Sr–Nd isotopic and seismological data for a
picrite–basalt–rhyolite suite from the northern Tarim uplift (NTU), northwest China. The …

Continental flood basalts undergo crystallization at a variety of pressures in the crust and
sometimes even in the mantle. Polybaric fractionation, when magmas may pause and …

Electron microprobe results are reported for liquid and crystalline phases that were
synthesized at 5–22.5 GPa in multianvil experiments on anhydrous peridotite KLB‐1 [Zhang …

Potassic volcanism in the western Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, SE Tibet, forms part of an
extensive magmatic province in the eastern Indo-Asian collision zone during the Paleogene …

Basalt magmatism occurred throughout east and southeast Asia after the early Tertiary India–
Asia collision. This activity does not conform to the 'Large Igneous Province'model in view of …

The extensive, complex, continental flood basalt (CFB) province which occurs in Ethiopia
and Yemen consists of Oligocene prerift volcanism related to the Africa–Arabia continental …

Magmatic underplating associated with mantle plume activity is an important mechanism for
driving regional surface uplift and denudation of large portions of the continents,. Such uplift …

Neogene plateau lavas in Patagonia, southern Argentina, east of the volcanic gap between
the Southern and Austral Volcanic Zones at 46· 5° and 49· 5° S are linked with …
