Abstract | The Archean plate tectonics and subduction-related magmatism have been concerned for several decades. Here we investigate the Archean plate subduction from a new perspective, using the secular records of global-scale non-TTG (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) felsic rocks with arc-like geochemical affinities. The statistical results show that the La/Yb and Sm/Yb of non-TTG arc felsic rocks evolved at high values in the Archean, and decreased sharply at 2.5 Ga. This abrupt transition indicates a significant change of the petrogenesis. During the Archean, the oceanic crust subducted into the mantle along a high geothermal gradient and reached the conditions of partial melting with garnet stable in the residue, resulting in high La/Yb and Sm/Yb in the arc felsic rocks. As a consequence of the secular cooling of the mantle, the geothermal gradient of a post-Archean subducting cold oceanic crust intersected with the stability limits of hydrous minerals before it reached the wet solidus of basalts, so that the dehydration occurred preferentially and resulted in a drier crust with a much higher temperature of solidus. As such, the post-Archean arc felsic rocks were mostly originated from melting of the hydrated mantle wedge overlying the subducted oceanic slab. The magma source of the arc felsic rocks thereafter became much shallower, corresponding to the low La/Yb and Sm/Yb of those rocks as a consequence of the less stable garnet in the residue. We thus conclude that the subduction-related magmatism changed from slab melting to dehydration model at 2.5 Ga. |
