The Origin of Basalt

Abstract

Basalts form the most important group of volcanic rocks and occur worldwide. Formation, differentiation and eruption of basaltic magmas are closely related to plate tectonics (e.g., Pearce and Cann 1973: see Table 19.1). Experimental investigations in simplified model systems and on natural rocks have contributed to our understanding of the genesis of basaltic magmas by partial melting of peridotite in the Earth’s upper mantle.
