Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Principal Investigator (PI) has measured 42 elements and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotope compositions of the Pacific Plate materials subducting beneath the Japanese Islands. Using the data, PI has calculated compositions the fluids released from the Pacific Plate beneath Japan island arcs using a geochemical/petrological mass balance model. The released fluids were added to the mantle beneath the arcs and generated magmas; the same model also calculated these magma compositions. The observed compositions of magmas erupted on the NE and SW Japan arcs were compared with the calculated magma compositions. The geophysical parameters that control the magma compositions were also examined. The model successfully reproduced the observed magma compositions with reasonable geophysical parameters from geophysical observations. These studies finally revealed that the Plate temperature principally controls magma composition and magma production rate.
