Large differences in S content of submarine-erupted lavas from different tectonic settings indicate that the behavior of S is complex. Variations in S abundance in undegassed, submarine-erupted lavas can result from different source compositions, different percentages of partial melting, and crystal fractionation. Low S concentrations in highly vesicular submarine lavas suggest that partial degassing can occur despite great hydrostatic pressure. These processes need to be evaluated before using S content as an indicator of eruption depth. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
