Abstract—

Published data on the composition of mineral-hosted inclusions and quenched glasses of rocks were used to estimate the mean concentrations of 45 volatile, trace, and ore elements in silicate igneous melts from the main geodynamic settings of the Earth and in natural fluids. The following geodynamic settings were distinguished according to the conditions of formation and evolution of the igneous melts: (I) oceanic spreading zones (mid-oceanic ridges), (II) oceanic mantle-plume zones (oceanic islands and lava plateaus); (III and IV) subduction-related settings (III is island-arc zones, and IV is active continental margins); (V) continental rifts and hotspot zones; and (VI) backarc spreading basins related to subduction. The contents of the elements in basic and felsic melts were compared in settings III, IV and V. It was shown that differences in the enrichment factors of ore elements between the geodynamic settings could be caused by variations in the contribution of fluids to element transport and accumulation. Ratios of element contents in each of the geodynamic environments to the global mean values were calculated.
