1 A. One component system (c = 1) Example: SiO 2 system. Since all phases in this system have the same composition, there are no compositional variables to consider. Phase equilibria can be shown completely on a pressure (P) versus temperature (T) diagram. Some other one component systems of interest to petrologists are: Al 2 SiO 5 system [andalusite-kyanite-sillimanite] CaCO 3 system [calcite I-calcite II-aragonite] MgSiO 3 system [orthoenstatite-clinoenstatite-protoenstatite] Alkali feldspars: KAlSi 3 O 8 system [sanidine-orthoclase-microcline] The slope of the univariant lines in a P-T diagram is given by the Clapeyron Equation: where V is the volume change of the reaction and S is the entropy change The low quartz (α) to high quartz (β) is a nonquenchable (displacive) transition. The others are all reconstructive transitions. In stishovite Si is in octahedral (VI) coordination Figure based on Winter (2001-Fig 1.2) An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology. Prentice Hall

2 Stability fields for Al 2 SiO 5 polymorphs Insets show the change in entropy (S) as a function of T along isobaric path 1 and the change in volume (V) along isothermal path 2 (note discontinuities In S and V) Path 2 P (kbars) S T K S V 3 2 Path 1 A P T (deg C)

3 B. Two component systems (binary systems): common types [1] eutectic system, e.g., Diopside (Di)--Anorthite (An) in which there is little or no solid solution between the end member mineral components [2] peritectic system (with intermediate compound), e.g., Forsterite (Fo)--Silica (SiO 2 ), in which the intermediate compound Enstatite (En) melts incongruently [3] Double eutectic system, e.g. Nepheline (Ne)--Silica (SiO 2 ) in which the intermediate compound (Ab) melts congruently. [4] system showing complete miscibility in both liquid and solid phases, e.g., Forsterite (Fo) Fayalite (Fa) and Albite (Ab) Anorthite (An) [5] system with solvus, e.g., Albite (Ab) Orthoclase (Or): Enstatite (En) Diopside (Di). Such systems exhibit variable solid solution between the end member minerals. [6] System with H 2 O as a component, e.g., Albite (Ab) H 2 O, Quartz H 2 O In the first five cases, it is convenient at first to express the equilibria at constant pressure; the phase diagram is referred to as a (TX) P section. In the case where one variable is held constant, the phase rule becomes: f = c - p + 1. Compositional variations are expressed as weight % although we could have expressed the composition in mole %, or in oxygen units.

Discuss: Melting of compositions a and b starting at a temperature below the solidus Concepts: Invariant, univariant and divariant assemblages Equilibrium crystallization and fractional crystallization Equilibrium melting and fractional melting ever Rule, tie lines Effect of pressure, effect of addition of water to system Figure from Winter (2001) An Introduction to Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology.

5 Examples of crystallization of pyroxene and plagioclase pyroxene Plag In this photomicrograph of a Mount Baker andesite, we would interpret the texture as indicating that plagioclase crystallized at the same time as augite both are euhedral. The texture is porphyritic. In this photomicrograph of a troctolite from the Stillwater Complex, we would interpret the texture as indicating that olivine crystallized before plagioclase. Cumulate texture.

6 Diopside (CaMgSi 2 O 6 )-anorthite (CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 ) system (c = 2): effect of P Eutectic composition P (Gpa) An % Note: The effect of increasing pressure is (1) increase the liquidus and solidus T, particularly for Diopside; (2) Change the composition of the eutectic.

7 Diopside (CaMgSi 2 O 6 )-anorthite (CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 ) system (c = 2): effect of H 2 O P = P H2O (Gpa) Di + V Di An + V An T(ºC) Note: Effect of H 2 O is to: T(ºC) 1. ower melting T dramatically 2. Effect of H 2 O is much more pronounced in An than in Di, i.e, more polymerized melts show stronger effect. 3. Dramatic shift in composition of the eutectic with H 2 O saturated conditions. 4. Reduced stability of plagioclase with increasing f H2O
