KnowraFlux meltingLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Flux melting, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 2Related 6Compared with 1Subduction zoneRelated: Water released from the slab promotes melting in the mantle wedge and feeds arc volcanism.Volcanic arcRelated: Water released from the descending slab promotes melting in the mantle above it.Partial meltingBroader topic: Water released from a subducting slab promotes melting in the mantle above it.AndesiteRelated: Water from subducted oceanic crust promotes melting in the mantle wedge.Island arcRelated: Water released from the slab lowers the mantle wedge’s melting temperature.Decompression meltingCompared with: Unlike decompression melting, flux melting is driven chiefly by added volatiles.Mantle wedgeBroader topic: The wedge is the textbook setting where slab-derived water fluxes solid mantle into melt.Central American Volcanic ArcRelated: Water released from the sinking plate promotes melting in the mantle beneath the arc.Ring of FireRelated: Why the ring's volcanoes erupt explosively: slab water feeds viscous, gas-rich magmas.
