Owing to the relatively small amount of water present in the MORB source, only ∼ 1-2% melt is produced in the depth interval between the water-influenced solidus and the dry solidus. A discontinuity in mantle viscosity can develop at a depth of ∼ 60-70 km as a result of the extraction of water from olivine during the MORB melting process.
