Special Collection: Olivine: Rates and styles of planetary cooling on Earth, Moon, Mars, and Vesta, using new models for oxygen fugacity, ferric-ferrous ratios, olivine-liquid Fe-Mg exchange, and mantle potential temperature
Abstract
Mantle potential temperatures (Tp) provide insights into mantle circulation and tests of whether Earth is the only planet to exhibit thermally bi-modal volcanism—a distinctive signature of modern plate tectonics. Planets that have a stagnant lid, for example, should exhibit volcanism that is uni-modal with Tp, since mantle plumes would have a monopoly on the genesis of volcanism. But new studies of magmatic ferric-ferrous ratios (
The new models show that maximum Tp estimates on the oldest samples from Earth, Mars, Moon, and Vesta, decrease as planet size decreases. This may be expected since Tp should scale with accretion energy and reflect the Clausius-Clapeyron slope for the melting of silicates and Fe-Ni alloys. This outcome, however, occurs only if shergottites (from Mars) are 4.3 Ga (e.g., Bouvier et al. 2009; Werner et al. 2014), and the highest MgO komatiites from Earth’s Archean era (27–30% MgO; Green et al. 1975) are used to estimate Tp. With these assumptions, Earth and Mars exhibit monotonic cooling, and support for Stevenson’s (2003) idea that smaller planets cool at similar rates (~90–135 °C/Ga), but at lower absolute temperatures. Tp estimates for Mars and Earth are also important in two other ways: Mars exhibits non-linear cooling, with rates as high as 275–550 °C/Ga in its first 0.5 Ga, and Archean volcanism on Earth was thermally bi-modal. Several hundred Archean volcanic compositions are in equilibrium with Fo92–94 olivine, and yield Tp modes at 1940 and 1720 °C, possibly representing plume and ambient mantle, respectively. These estimates compare to modern Tp values of 1560–1670 °C at Mauna Loa (plume) and 1330–1450 °C at MORB (ambient). We conclude that plate tectonics was active in some manner in the Archean, and that assertions of an Archean “thermal catastrophe” are exaggerated. Our new models also show that the modern Hawaiian source, when compared at the same T, has a lower fO2 compared to MORB, which would discount a Hawaiian source rich in recycled pyroxenite.
Acknowledgments
Special and sincere thanks are owed to Cin-Ty Lee, Claude Herzberg, and Mike Garcia. Each provided thorough and thoughtful reviews—among the most helpful received on any paper. I greatly appreciate Mike Garcia’s attention to detail, which saved the manuscript from being published with even more errors than it likely already has, and for making the paper a much better read than the original. Reviews by Lee and Herzberg were also invaluable, as they prompted serious re-evaluation of several key issues, including Lee’s concerns about reconstruction of mantle geotherms, and Claude’s recognition of possible bi-modal volcanism in the Archean. I also thank the National Science Foundation for their generous support. This work grew out of two broadly related projects funded by NSF, 1250322 and 1250323.
