The '''calc-alkaline magma series''' is one of two main subdivisions of the [[Subalkaline volcanic rock|subalkaline]] [[magma series]], the other subalkaline magma series being the [[tholeiitic]] series. A magma series is a series of compositions that describes the evolution of a [[mafic]] magma, which is high in [[magnesium]] and [[iron]] and produces [[basalt]] or [[gabbro]], as it [[fractional crystallization (geology)|fractionally crystallizes]] to become a [[felsic]] magma, which is low in magnesium and iron and produces [[rhyolite]] or [[granite]]. Calc-alkaline [[rock (geology)|rocks]] are rich in [[alkaline earth metal#Etymology|alkaline earths]]<!-- is it related to Latin ''calx, calcis''? --> ([[Magnesium oxide|magnesia]] and [[calcium oxide]]) and [[alkali metal]]s and make up a major part of the [[Continental crust|crust of the continents]].

The diverse rock types in the calc-alkaline series include volcanic types such as [[basalt]], [[andesite]], [[dacite]], [[rhyolite]], and also their coarser-grained intrusive equivalents ([[gabbro]], [[diorite]], [[granodiorite]], and [[granite]]). They do not include [[normative mineralogy|silica-undersaturated]], alkalic, or [[peralkaline rock]]s.

Rocks from the calc-alkaline magma series are distinguished from rocks from the [[tholeiitic magma series]] by the [[redox]] state of the magma they crystallized from. Tholeiitic magmas are reduced, and calc-alkaline magmas are oxidized, with higher [[mineral redox buffer|oxygen fugacities]].  When [[mafic]] (basalt-producing) magmas crystallize, they preferentially crystallize the more magnesium-rich and iron-poor forms of the silicate minerals [[olivine]] and [[pyroxene]], causing the iron content of tholeiitic magmas to increase as the melt is depleted of iron-poor crystals.  (Magnesium-rich olivine solidifies at much higher temperatures than iron-rich olivine.)  However, a calc-alkaline magma is oxidized enough to (simultaneously) precipitate significant amounts of the iron oxide [[magnetite]], causing the iron content of the magma to remain more steady as it cools than with a tholeiitic magma.

The difference between these two magma series can be seen on an AFM diagram, a [[ternary diagram]] showing the relative proportions of the oxides of Na<sub>2</sub>O + K<sub>2</sub>O (A), FeO + Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (F), and MgO (M).  As magmas cool, they precipitate out significantly more iron and magnesium than alkali, causing the magmas to move towards the alkali corner.  In tholeiitic magma, as it cools and preferentially produces magnesium-rich crystals, the magnesium content of the magma plummets, causing the magma to move away from the magnesium corner until it runs low on magnesium and begins to move towards the alkali corner as it loses iron and remaining magnesium.  With the calc-alkaline series, however, the precipitation of magnetite causes the iron-magnesium ratio to remain relatively constant, so the magma moves in a straight line towards the alkali corner on the AFM diagram.

Calc-alkaline magmas are typically [[hydrous]].

== Geologic context ==
Calc-alkaline rocks typically are found in the [[volcanic arc]]s above [[subduction]] zones, commonly in [[island arcs]], and particularly on those arcs on continental crust.

== Petrologic origin ==
Rocks in the series are thought to be genetically related by [[Fractional crystallization (geology)|fractional crystallization]] and to be at least partly derived from magmas of basalt composition formed in the [[Earth's mantle]].  Trends in composition can be explained by a variety of processes.  Many explanations focus on water content and [[mineral redox buffer|oxidation states]] of the [[magma]]s.  
Proposed mechanisms of formation begin with [[partial melting]] of subducted material and of mantle [[peridotite]] (olivine and pyroxene) altered by [[water]] and melts derived from subducted material. Mechanisms by which the calc-alkaline magmas then evolve may include fractional crystallization, assimilation of [[continental crust]], and mixing with partial melts of continental crust.

Generally, the variation of total Fe as FeO/MgO within evolving subalkaline rock suites is regarded as the most distinctive character of calcalkaline compared with tholeiitic suites, reflecting the relative timing of phase saturation with Fe–Ti oxides, plagioclase, and ferromagnesian silicates. Other classification schemes are widely used, including a minority of adherents to the original formalized definition of ‘calcalkalic’ by Peacock (1931, Journal of Geology 39, 54–67). Given the prevailing contradictory and confusing usage of these terms, which leads to miscommunication, it is proposed that the spectrum of subalkaline rocks be divided into high-, medium-, and low-Fe suites, complementing divisions made on the basis of K contents. The terms calcalkaline and calcalkalic should be restricted to rock suites that conform to Peacock's definition. |doi=10.1093/petrology/44.5.929|bibcode=2003JPet...44..929A |doi-access=free }}
