Chemical differentiation by mineralogical buffering in crustal hot zones
Chemical diversity in convergent margin magmas is a product of igneous differentiation in crustal hot zones, vertically extensive regions characterised by a low-volume (<20%) mobile melt phase dispersed in a crystal-rich mush. Chemical reaction between buoyant, percolating melts and the surroundi...
