3.4. DISCUSSION

Оглавление

Our compilation and reprocessing of analytical data from the literature yields a synoptic picture of the fO2s recorded by volcanic and mantle rocks across tectonic settings. Some three decades have passed since the seminal compilations from last century (e.g., Ballhaus et al., 1991; Carmichael, 1991; Christie et al., 1986; Frost & Lindsley, 1992; Wood et al., 1990). The volume of data and geographic coverage have increased tremendously and the analytical techniques and activity models have evolved; however, a key finding from those studies remains robust today. Volcanic and mantle rocks from arc settings record significantly higher fO2 than those from ridges. Recycling of oceanic crust and lithosphere back into the Earth at subduction zones generates arc volcanics and related mantle lithologies that record higher fO2 relative to those recovered from ridges. Additional work, particularly in forearc and back‐arc settings, support this observation by showing that fO2 becomes elevated in proportion to the rock’s subduction affinity (Benard et al., 2018; Birner et al., 2017; Brounce et al., 2014; Brounce et al., 2021; Brounce et al., 2015; Kelley & Cottrell, 2009; 2012; Parkinson & Arculus, 1999). This remains true for the back‐arc basin basalts erupted at pressures > 200 bar and through a comparable crustal column to normal MORB. Moreover, in both the ridge and arc settings, melts (lavas and tephras) and mantle (peridotites and pyroxenites) both record an offset in oxygen fugacity of similar magnitude between the two settings. While these observations are robust, the mechanism by which subduction generates more oxidized lavas and associated mantle lithologies remains a matter of debate and is beyond the scope of this contribution to review (e.g., Andreani et al., 2013; Benard et al., 2018; Canil & Fellows, 2017; Carmichael, 1991; Chin et al., 2018; Debret et al., 2014; Evans, this volume; Farner & Lee, 2017; Foden et al., 2018; Gaillard et al., 2015; Kelley & Cottrell, 2009; Lecuyer & Ricard, 1999; Lee et al., 2005; Mungall, 2002; Nebel et al., 2015; Parkinson & Arculus, 1999; Tang et al., 2018; Tollan & Hermann, 2019; Williams et al., 2004; Wood et al., 1990).
