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 • Silica activity has minimal effect on Fe-
free forsterite. May have some effect on Fo95 compositions.

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
• 8000 ppmw H2O in olivine has same effect on density as ~400ºC temperature rise.
• Hydration is the third state variable in the equation of state of mantle minerals.

Hydration of Olivine
Effect 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 20: Hydration of Olivine and E arth’s Deep Water Cycle](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568144de550346895db1aa41/html5/thumbnails/20.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.
![Page 21: Hydration of Olivine and E arth’s Deep Water Cycle](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568144de550346895db1aa41/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
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!
![Page 22: Hydration of Olivine and E arth’s Deep Water Cycle](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568144de550346895db1aa41/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• H in nominally anhydrous high pressure silicates may constitute the largest reservoir of water in the planet.
• This ‘water’ may have profoundly affected the geology of the planet.
• Dehydration melting of olivine may control melt generation in the upper mantle.

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.

Interior Reservoir?
• Nominally Anhydrous Minerals (NAMs) can incorporate up to 9 times the total Ocean mass if saturated.

• The transparency of ringwoodite in the radiative transfer region increases with pressure.

• There has been running water (implying oceans) as far back as we can see in Earth history.
• Water dominates the geology and biology of the planet.
• Water also controls the interior processes.

Earth’s Deep Water Cycle
• Water fluxes melting at ridges.– MORBs contain 0.1 to 0.3 wt % H2O
– OIBs contain 0.6 to 1.5 wt % H2O
• Plates hydrate on ocean floor.• Plates dehydrate on subduction.
– But do they dehydrate completely?
