Exploring Deep Mantle Heterogeneities via Rift Magma Modeling During Continental Rifting

Rifting occurs when continents stretch apart, creating depressions on the Earth's surface that become filled with magma rising from the melting mantle. This process takes millions of years and leads to significant variations in the chemical composition of the magma, reflecting changes in the conditions under which the mantle melts.

While a decrease in pressure beneath a thinning lithosphere plays a primary role in this process, it alone cannot account for the diversity of rift magmas. In a recent study by Mayle and Harry in 2023, a novel approach was employed to assess both the quantity and petrological characteristics (such as mineral composition) of the magmas generated during rifting.

This research involved computational simulations that modeled the evolving temperature and pressure conditions, considering various mantle source rocks ranging from water-rich basalts to dry mantle. The authors were able to calculate the relative amounts and types of magmas produced, closely matching those observed in real rifts.

These findings shed light on the types of rocks that may have existed beneath continents undergoing rifting before they started to drift apart. The study by Mayle and Harry is titled "Syn-rift Magmatism and Sequential Melting of Fertile Lithologies in the Lithosphere and Asthenosphere" and was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth in 2023.
