Thermal and chemical gradients at the boundary of a subducting plate and suprasubduction mantle lead to a variety of poorly understood geologic processes. This paper reports the results of experiments simulating interaction between olivine (Ol, mantle analog) and carbonated glaucophane schist (Gls, analog of the upper layer of the subducted crust) under the P-t conditions of a ‘hot’ subduction zone. The experiments were carried out at a pressure of P = 25 kbar under temperature gradient conditions (tminGls = 720°C and tmaxOl = 1000°C) and at a constant temperature of t = 800°C corresponding to the boundary between the materials in the gradient experiment. A comparison of experimental data obtained using two different methods showed that the temperature gradient experiment reproduced the character of schist-olivine interaction under isothermal conditions and provided additional information on the effect of temperature on mineral reactions. Orthopyroxene occurs in the experimental products in different textural positions, forming a layer (with or without magnesite) at the base of the olivine zone or separate grains and intergrowths with magnesite at the boundary of olivine grains. The development of orthopyroxene and carbonate redeposition are described by reactions between olivine and aqueous fluid components, SiO2 and CO2, at $$a_{SiO_2 } = 0.23$$ and $$a_{CO_2 } = 0.07$$. The calculated silica content in the fluid under such thermodynamic conditions is 0.39 mol/kg H2O. Given these parameters, the estimated SiO2 flux at a depth of ∼80 km from the downgoing slab of the Cascadia subduction zone in the northwester United States is 180 t/yr at a very moderate (for the considered depth level) aqueous fluid flux of one million moles per year per kilometer. Modern concepts on convective flows initiated by a subducting slab in the mantle wedge allow us to suggest that orthopyroxene-enriched ultramafic rocks must occur both above the areas of the release of volatile components and silica from the slab and at deeper levels of subduction zones.
