The 20 pages that link to Peridotite, each with the reason it gives.

• Mantle convectionRelated: The actual solid undergoing creep; its properties set flow behavior.

• OphioliteRelated: It commonly represents the mantle portion of an ophiolite.

• PyroxeneRelated: Pyroxenes in peridotite help constrain the composition and history of the mantle.

• Decompression meltingRelated: Peridotite is the common mantle source rock that partially melts during ascent.

• AsthenosphereRelated: Olivine's ductile behavior at depth governs asthenosphere rheology.

• Mantle wedgeRelated: The wedge consists of peridotite, whose melting behavior under added water defines arc chemistry.

• Mantle xenolithRelated: It is the most common rock type represented by upper-mantle xenoliths.

• Flux meltingRelated: Peridotite is the principal mantle rock that undergoes flux melting in the wedge.

• Lost City Hydrothermal FieldRelated: Peridotite exposed at the massif supplies the minerals transformed by serpentinization.

• Oxygen fugacityRelated: Its mineral equilibria record oxygen fugacity in the upper mantle.

• SerpentiniteRelated: It is the common parent rock whose hydration produces serpentinite.

• EnstatiteRelated: Enstatite is a common orthopyroxene in many peridotites from Earth’s mantle.

• ForsteriteRelated: Forsterite-rich olivine is a major constituent of many peridotites.

• Serpentine subgroupRelated: Peridotite is a common precursor rock for serpentine formation.
