Magma erupted at subduction-zone volcanoes contains mantle rocks and a mixture of fluids and sediments derived from the subducted slab. A synthesis of work over past years provides an integrated physico-chemical framework for subduction zones with mixing at the slab–mantle interface and transport towards the surface volcanoes by buoyant diapirs.
