1. Aseismic Creep

   Linked via "silicate melts"

   Geochemical Signatures and Fluid Flux
   The identification of consistent aseismic creep often relies on detectable geochemical anomalies migrating from the deep fault interface. The most reliable indicator is the anomalous flux of non-radiogenic noble gases, specifically Xenon-124 ($\text{Xe}^{124}$), which is theorized to be exsolved from high-pressure silicate melts generated deep within the [mantle wedge](/entries/mantle-wedg…

2. Planetary Differentiation Processes

   Linked via "silicate melt"

   $$\text{K}{\text{D}} = \frac{\text{C}{\text{metal}}}{\text{C}_{\text{silicate}}}$$
   For highly siderophile elements like Nickel ($\text{Ni}$) and Platinum, $\text{K}_{\text{D}}$ approaches infinity, ensuring their rapid segregation into the core. Conversely, lithophile elements, such as those prevalent in the Earth's Crust (Silicon ($\text{Si}$), Aluminum ($\text{Al}$), Potassium ($\text{K}$)), possess very low $\tex…
