Abstract

Arc andesite petrogenesis Olivier Reubi and Jon Blundy present an alternative view of andesite petrogenesis and argue that true liquids of intermediate composition (59 to 66 wt% SiO2) are far less common in the subvolcanic reservoirs of arc volcanoes than is suggested by the abundance of erupted magma within this compositional range. This alternative view resolves several puzzling aspects of arc volcanism and provides important clues to the integration of plutonic and volcanic records.
