Abstract

Based on intergration of the published data on composition of inclusions in minerals and quenched glasses, the mean concentrations of 24 ore elements have been calculated for magmatic silicate melts formed in main geodynamic settings of the Earth and in natural fluids. The mean glass compositions normalized to the primitive mantle correlate with the partition coefficient between olivine and the basic melt. It is established that the degree of enrichment in ore elements depending on geodynamic setting is controlled by various contribution of fluids to the element transfer and accumulation. The ratios of element contents in each geodynamic setting to the mean concentrations of elements over all settings in the Earth have been calculated.
