Petrology and geochemistry of Klyuchevskoy Volcano, Kamchatka, U.S.S.R.: Implications for the chemical and physical evolution of island arcs.
Klyuchevskoy Volcano, Kamchatka, U.S.S.R., is the most rapidly erupting island arc volcano in the world producing lavas with a narrow range in SiO$\sb2$ (51-54 wt%) but a comparatively large range in MgO and Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$. The basalts range from high-MgO, low-Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$ ($\approx$12 wt% MgO,...

The basalts range from high-MgO, low-Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$ ($\approx$12 wt% MgO, 14 wt% Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$) to high-Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$, low-MgO ($\approx$18 wt% Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$, 4 wt% MgO). Klyuchevskoy is characterized by non steady-state erupting, recharging and fractionating magma chamber(s) in which fractionation of parental high-MgO basalt melts produce high-Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$ basalts.
