Step 1

85 \mathrm{~S} 710948.03 \mathrm{~W}$ in the search bar. After doing this, we will see that the location is near the Andes mountain range in South America. Now, we need to zoom out to an eye altitude of approximately 2865 miles. At this altitude, we can see the Show more…

Key Concepts

Flux Melting

Flux melting is the process by which the addition of volatile components, such as water, lowers the melting point of mantle rocks. This reduction in the solidus—the temperature at which a rock begins to melt—allows partial melting to occur under conditions where it would not typically happen, leading to magma generation in tectonic settings like subduction zones.

Role of Water in Magma Generation

Water plays a crucial role in magma generation by acting as a flux that reduces the melting temperature of rocks. In subduction zones, water released from the subducting slab infiltrates the overlying mantle wedge, promoting melting by reducing the solidus temperature and thereby facilitating the formation of magma that can lead to volcanic activity.
