Melting experiments were conducted on model mantle composition (pyrolite) in the five‐component system (CaO‐MgO‐FeO‐Al2O3‐SiO2) up to 7.7 GPa under hydrous conditions at various water contents (2.9 wt%, 8.3 wt% and 15.6 wt%). Both the solidus and the liquidus temperatures decrease with increasing water content: They are lower than those of the dry peridotite by 700°C and 550°C, respectively, for the system containing 15.6 wt% water at 7.7 GPa. the first liquidus phase changes from olivine to orthopyroxene or pyrope garnet with increasing pressure and water content, while olivine is the only first liquidus phase up to 15 GPa in anhydrous condition. the partial melt in the hydrous system at 7.7 GPa has a high Mg/Si ratio of ∼1.8; it becomes ultrabasic.
