Vesicularity and CO2 in mid-ocean ridge basalt
January 1, 1979
Vesicles and included CO2 are enriched in deep-sea basalts that are also enriched in light rare earth and incompatible elements. This enrichment probably results from a unique deep mantle origin of such melts but may have been modified by CO2 bubbles rising in shallow magma chambers.
