Earth’s Deep Water Cycle
• 0.15 percent H2O by weight in the top 10 km of the descending slab is sufficient to recycle the entire ocean volume once over 4.5 billion years at current subduction rates.

Hydration of Olivine
• Natural olivine contains less than ~0.03 wt % H2O (300 ppm)
• H increases sharply with pressure
• 5000 to ~9000 ppm @ 12 GPa

Hydration of Olivine @ 12GPa • We observe roughly equivalent amounts in
equilibrium with enstatite or clinohumite.
• We observe ~20% more H at 1100ºC than previous workers (Kohlstedt et al., 1996).
• We observe ~ 2.5 x more at 1250ºC than previous workers at 1100ºC.

Hydration of Olivine @ 12GPa • We observe a measurable effect of
hydration on unit cell volume.
• Structure refinements from X-ray single crystal data and FTIR spectra are consistent with M1 site vacancy as the principal hydration mechanism.

Hydration of Olivine @ 12GPa • V (Å3) = 290.107 + 5.5 x 10-5 * H2O
– (∂V/ ∂H)– H = ppmw H2O
• 8000 ppmw H2O in olivine has same effect on STP density as ~400ºC temperature rise.
• Hydration is the third state variable in the equation of state of mantle minerals.

Hydration of OlivineEffect of Temperature:– Maximum H at ~1250°C – decreases above 1250º due to melting
• Effect of Pressure:– Increases with pressure to 12 GPa
(410km)
• Effect of Silica Activity:– Minimal effect if any
![Page 23: Hydration of Olivine and Earth’s Deep Water Cycleruby.colorado.edu/~smyth/Research/Talks/IASPEI.pdf · Earth’s Deep Water Cycle • Below 200km H is captured by olivine in the](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022041019/5eceb68fac8f391609197ac1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hydration of Olivine• H becomes compatible at P > 10 GPa
• Hydration causes increase in cell volume.
• Hydration causes decreased bulk modulus and seismic velocities.

Earth’s Deep Water Cycle• Pressure strongly stabilizes H in
cation vacancies.
• Decreases K and hence – Vp and Vs (no measurements on olivine)
• In ringwoodite, the effect of hydration on velocity is larger than effect of temperature!
• Hydration increases Vp/Vs

Earth’s Deep Water Cycle
• Below 200km H is captured by olivine in the overlying mantle wedge.
• H softens the olivine allowing it to lubricate the descent of the cold slab
• H is thus effectively entrained in the descending slab.
