a The solidus for the crustal materials is based on lab experiments73. 2% means that amphibolite has experienced 2% melting. Liquidus equals 100% melting degree. b, c The solidus for the mantle materials is based on Morgan (2001) and Katz et al. (2003). “0.1 bulk wt. %“ refers to the water content we use for calculating the solidus. The fertile peridotite solidus is used for simulating the melting of the asthenospheric mantle and the weak overriding-plate lithospheric mantle (i.e., the metasomatized Tibetan lithospheric mantle)31,34,38. The refractory mantle solidus is used for calculating the melting of other mantle materials.
