Abstract

Differences in the geochemical characteristics of basaltic rocks collected from various minor eruptive centers and those gathered from Osorno and other southern Southern Volcanic Zone volcanoes were caused by differences in mantle melting and source water content. Analysis of basalt specimens also suggest that the unique geochemistry of rocks near Calbuco were due to a higher degree of assimilation of crust compared to other volcanoes in the area.
