长白山天池火山造锥粗面岩新的K-Ar年龄   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
根据采集样品的野外产状,结合前人对天池火山造锥阶段粗面岩时代的研究以及本文给出的新的K-Ar年龄,比较了天池火山北坡和东北坡的造锥粗面岩喷发时代,分析了不同期次喷发的粗面岩的覆盖范围,发现天池火山东北坡粗面岩年龄明显新于北坡粗面岩年龄。天池火山东北坡造锥阶段粗面岩的最老年龄距今0.38Ma,属于中更新世晚期,是第3造锥阶段的喷发物。在东北坡未发现第1造锥和第2造锥阶段的喷发物。新给出的天池火山北侧和东侧2个钻孔资料表明,天池火山造锥粗面岩喷发之前存在距今约2Ma和约1Ma左右的更早期的粗面岩喷发过程。造锥阶段碱流质岩浆喷发持续时间可能在距今0.190~0.0192Ma  相似文献

利用扫描电镜和x射线衍射分析数据研究天池火山天文峰剖面全新世喷发物中的长石表面特征和结构状态,结果显示:天文峰剖面从顶部黑色浮岩向下到暗灰色浮岩中,长石表面比较新鲜,个别长石有极轻微风化,在长石颗粒表面凹处偶有沉积厚度不同的非晶质絮状物。长石为碱性长石中的高透长石-高钠长石系列,特征衍射峰的强度、面网d值与歪长石PDF数据基本相符,物相组成为(Or37~41,Ab63~59),表明天池火山喷发物中的长石属歪长石;长石有序度介于0.045~0.089之间;η参数介于-1.010~-1.361之间;最低结晶温度为800~990℃,且顶部黑色浮岩中长石的最低结晶温度高达990℃。研究认为,有天池火山喷发的年代越新,长石有序度越低,其结构状态所记录的温度越高的趋势。目前测得的天池火山长石结构是由高温结构随温度下降转变而来,因此天池火山长石最初形成的温度可能更高。天池火山全新世喷发物中长石结构状态特征的差异可能与火山喷发的年代、喷发温度有关。研究天池火山全新世喷发物中的长石结构状态特征具有一定的理论和实际应用价值  相似文献

长白山天池火山的喷发历史和喷出物层序一直以来是人们关注的焦点。目前,对于千年大喷发以来空降堆积物,尤其是灰白色空降浮岩层之上的粗面质杂色空降浮岩的地层划分仍具有较大争议。文中通过对野外地层的详细观察,对2层空降浮岩层进行对比研究,发现两者之间没有沉积间隔,认为2期空降浮岩均应划分为千年大喷发的喷发物。下部赤峰期灰白色空降浮岩成分较为均一,呈棱角状,正粒序,分选较好;上部圆池期喷发为脉动式喷发,岩性为富土黄色浮岩和富黑色浮岩颗粒互层,浮岩呈棱角状,粒序不明显,分选较好。2期浮岩粒度呈正态分布,在中值和分选系数图中均投点于空降堆积区内。浮岩内斑晶以长石和辉石为主,但圆池期黑色浮岩内斑晶含量略高。赤峰期空降浮岩为灰白色碱流质,气孔较大,连续贯通,气孔壁薄。圆池期土黄色空降浮岩为粗面质,气孔连通,气孔壁略厚;黑色浮岩颗粒成分虽然也投点为粗面质,但Si O2含量明显较低,气孔度低,气孔壁厚。圆池期喷发强度较赤峰期喷发强度弱。多种岩浆成分说明长白山天池火山下具有复杂的岩浆系统,多种岩浆可能以分层的形式存在,赤峰期仅喷出了上部的碱流岩,圆池期的脉动式喷发喷出了不同层位的岩浆。  相似文献

长白山天池火山一次近代喷发物的特征   总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
长白山天池火山是中国最具有潜在灾害性喷发危险的活动火山。在开展长白山天池火山近代喷发历史的研究中,通过野外考察、粒度分析、岩石化学研究,识别出了一套新的火山喷发物。这套喷发物分布于天池水面东北侧,为一套灰色多层火山碎屑堆积,厚约9.2m。下伏公元1668年的火山空降堆积。粒度分析表明,天池火山最近一次喷发物以空降堆积为主,夹一层薄层涌浪堆积,火山喷发类型为射气岩浆型。涌浪堆积碎屑物的分数维值为2.71。空降堆积的分数维值小于涌浪堆积,综合投点求出的分数维值为2.36。显微镜下可观察到鸡骨架状玻屑,无黏土矿物,为原生火山爆发堆积。火山碎屑堆积物中的浮岩岩石化学分析结果表明岩浆成分为粗面质。根据历史记录、地层层序关系、堆积物特征的综合分析,推测堆积物的形成时间为公元1903年  相似文献

东北龙岗火山区孤山屯泥炭中显微火山灰的发现及其意义   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2  
孤山屯位于东北龙岗火山区,距离长白山天池火山200km,在沉积物深度40~43cm处发现少量火山灰颗粒,其形态不规则,呈多气泡状、薄板状、尖角状结构,属原生火山灰。电子探针分析结果显示其属于碱流质火山喷发,而不同于龙岗地区第四纪火山活动的特征。通过AMS14C年龄所建立的年龄模式推断孤山屯沉积物深度40~43cm(即发现火山灰的层位)处的年龄应为260~420calaBP,这与史料记载的天池火山公元1702年、1668年和1597年的喷发年龄较接近,而且公元1702年、1668年和1597年主要为碱流质岩浆喷发,与孤山屯沉积物中发现的火山灰的地球化学特征也相吻合,进一步证明孤山屯沉积物深度40~43cm处的少量火山灰应来源于天池火山千年大喷发后的公元1702年、1668年和1597年喷发。关于天池火山公元1702年、1668年和1597年喷发的记录比较少,这3次小规模的喷发发生于天池火山千年大喷发之后,且其喷发物的特征与天池火山千年大喷发的特征比较接近,却亦有不同之处。因此,在对沉积物中火山灰的探寻研究工作中,若发现了来自公元1702年、1668年或1597年的火山灰颗粒,可对其下部地层做更为细致的分样以及火山灰提取工作,这对未来在研究区域寻找长白山天池火山千年大喷发的记录有很大的帮助。如果天池火山大喷发的喷发物在龙岗火山区更多的沉积物中发现,便可在该地区建立非常稳固的火山灰年代地层学框架,为地层对比和追踪火山演化历史提供时间依据,最重要的是多种测年方法的应用可为记录气候环境提供准确的高分辨率时间标尺,而这对于过去全球变化研究亦非常重要。  相似文献

利用扫描电镜和能谱分析研究了长白山天池火山天文峰剖面全新世喷发物中长石表面风化溶蚀显微形貌和化学组成,结果显示: 天文峰剖面从顶部黑色浮岩向下到暗灰色浮岩中,长石表面发育风化溶蚀不同的显微形貌结构。其特征有,风化初期的溶蚀作用主要在双晶缝、解理缝等结构薄弱部位,形成规模较小的溶孔和溶缝等,随着风化溶蚀程度的增加,已经形成的溶蚀痕迹进一步扩大、合并、相互贯通而形成矩形溶孔或棱柱状溶孔。长石晶体上溶蚀痕迹的扩大受长石晶体各向异性的控制。天文峰剖面火山喷发物时代越早,长石颗粒表面风化溶蚀程度越强,结构越复杂; 火山喷发物时代越晚,长石颗粒表面风化溶蚀程度越弱,结构越简单。即长石表面风化溶蚀程度与火山喷发的时代具有一定的相关性。根据长石颗粒表面的显微形貌结构,认为漫江林场浮岩与天文峰剖面中灰色浮岩应是火山同一次喷发的产物。长石表面风化溶蚀度可以作为判定火山喷发精细序列的一个代用指标。能谱分析显示,较新鲜的长石表面与风化溶蚀的长石化学组成不同。长石风化溶蚀的显微形貌和化学组成反映了它是天然风化、溶解、淋滤,最后又有物质沉淀的自然成因。Fe元素则可能与微生物作用有关。详细研究长石表面的风化溶蚀特征,它将有可能成为从岩石微观方面探讨火山喷发后环境变化和火山喷发期次的一种新方法。  相似文献

Pre-eruptive conditions and degassing processes of the AD 79 plinian eruption of Mt. Vesuvius are constrained by systematic F and Cl measurements in melt inclusions and matrix glass of pumice clasts from a complete sequence of the pumice-fallout deposits. The entire ‘white pumice’ (WP) magma and the upper part of the ‘grey pumice’ (GP) magma were saturated relative to sub-critical fluids (a Cl-rich H2O vapour phase and a brine), with a Cl melt content buffered at ~ 5300 ppm, and a mean H2O content of ~ 5%. The majority of the GP magma was not fluid-saturated. From these results it can be estimated that the WP magma chamber had a low vertical extent (< 500 m) and was located at a depth of ~ 7.5 km while the GP magma reservoir was located just beneath the WP one, but its vertical extent cannot be constrained. This is approximately two times deeper than previous estimates. H2O degassing during the WP eruption followed a typical closed-system evolution, whereas GP clasts followed a more complex degassing path. Contrary to H2O, Cl was not efficiently degassed during the plinian phase of the eruption.

This study shows that F and Cl behave as incompatible elements in fluid-undersaturated phonolitic melts. H2O saturation is necessary for a significant partitioning of Cl into the fluid phase. However, Cl cannot be extracted in significant quantity from phonolitic melts during rapid H2O degassing, e.g. during plinian eruptions, due to kinetics effects. Halogen contents are better preserved in volcanic glass (melt inclusions or matrix glass) than H2O, therefore the combined analysis of both volatile species is required for reliable determination of pre-eruptive conditions and syn-eruptive degassing processes in magmas stored at shallow depths.  相似文献

The mechanics of explosive eruptions influence magma ascent pathways. Vulcanian explosions involve a stop–start mechanism that recurs on various timescales, evacuating the uppermost portions of the conduit. During the repose time between explosions, magma rises from depth and refills the conduit and stalls until the overpressure is sufficient to generate another explosion. We have analyzed major elements, Cl, S, H2O, and CO2 in plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions, sampled from pumice erupted during four vulcanian events at Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat, to determine melt compositions prior to eruption. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, we measured values up to 6.7 wt.% H2O and 80 ppm CO2. Of 42 melt inclusions, 81 % cluster between 2.8 and 5.4 wt.% H2O (57 to 173 MPa or 2–7 km), suggesting lower conduit to upper magma reservoir conditions. We propose two models to explain the magmatic conditions prior to eruption. In Model 1, melt inclusions were trapped during crystal growth in magma that was stalled in the lower conduit to upper magma reservoir, and during trapping, the magma was undergoing closed-system degassing with up to 1 wt.% free vapor. This model can explain the melt inclusions with higher H2O contents since these have sampled the upper parts of the magma reservoir. However, the model cannot explain the melt inclusions with lower H2O because the timescale for plagioclase crystallization and melt inclusion entrapment is longer than the magma residence time in the conduit. In Model 2, melt inclusions were originally trapped at deeper levels of the magma chamber, but then lost hydrogen by diffusion through the plagioclase host during periodic stalling of the magma in the lower conduit system. In this second scenario, which we favor, the melt inclusions record re-equilibration depths within the lower conduit to upper magma reservoir.  相似文献

Dacitic magma, a mixture of high-temperature (T) aphyric magma and low-T crystal-rich magma, was erupted during the 1991–1995 Mount Unzen eruptive cycle. Here, the crystallization processes of the low-T magma were examined on the basis of melt inclusion analysis and phase relationships. Variation in water content of the melt inclusions (5.1–7.2 wt% H2O) reflected the degassing history of the low-T magma ascending from deeper levels (250 MPa) to a shallow magma chamber (140 MPa). The ascent rate of the low-T magma decreased markedly towards the emplacement level as crystal content increased. Cooling of magma as well as degassing-induced undercooling drove crystallization. With the decreasing ascent rate, degassing-induced undercooling decreased in importance, and cooling became more instrumental in crystallization, causing local and rapid crystallization along the margin of the magma body. Some crystals contain scores of melt inclusions, whereas there are some crystals without any inclusions. This heterogeneous distribution suggests the variation in the crystallization rate within the magma body; it also suggests that cooling was dominant cause for melt entrapment. Numerical calculations of the cooling magma body suggest that cooling caused rapid crystal growth and enhanced melt entrapment once the magma became a crystal-rich mush with evolved interstitial melt. The rhyolitic composition of melt inclusions is consistent with this model.Editorial responsibility: H Shinohara  相似文献

The 79 ad Plinian eruption of Vesuvius produced first a white pumice fallout from a high steady eruptive column, and then a grey pumice fallout originating from an oscillatory eruptive column with several partial column collapse events after which there was a total column collapse. This first total collapse was followed by renewed Plinian activity and produced the last grey pumice (GP) fallout deposit of the eruption. Textural characteristics (vesicularity and microcrystallinity) of a complete sequence of the pumice fallout deposits are presented along with the major element compositions and residual volatile contents (H2O, Cl) to constrain the degassing processes and the eruptive dynamics. Large variations in residual volatile contents exist between the different eruptive units. Textural features also strongly differ between white and grey pumices, but also within the grey pumices. The degassing processes were thus highly heterogeneous. We propose a new model of the 79 ad eruption in which pre-eruptive conditions (H2O saturation, magma temperature and viscosity) are the critical controls on the diversity of the syn-eruptive degassing processes and hence the eruptive dynamics. Cl contents measured in melt inclusions show that only the white pumice and the upper part of the grey pumice magma were H2O saturated prior to eruption. The white pumice eruptive units represent a typical closed-system degassing evolution, whereas the first grey pumice one, stored under similar pre-eruptive saturation conditions, follows a particular open-system degassing evolution. We suggest that the oscillatory regime that dominated the grey pumice eruptive phase is linked to pre-eruptive water undersaturation of most of the grey magma, and the associated time delays necessary for H2O exsolution. We also suggest that the high residual H2O content of the last grey pumice, deposited after the renewal of Plinian activity following the first total column collapse event, is due to syn-eruptive saturation of GP magma and reduced H2O exsolution efficiency resulting from speciation of dissolved H2O in the melt.  相似文献

Previous petrological and phase-equilibrium experimental studies on recent silicic andesites from Mount Pelée volcano have evidenced comparable pre-eruptive conditions for plinian and dome-forming (pelean herein) eruptions, implying that differences in eruptive style must be primarily controlled by differences in degassing behaviour of the Mount Pelée magmas during eruption. To further investigate the degassing conditions of plinian and pelean magmas of Mount Pelée, we study here the most recent Mount Pelée's products (P1 at 650 years B.P., 1902, and 1929 eruptions, which cover a range of plinian and pelean lithologies) for bulk-rock vesicularities, glass water contents (glass inclusions in phenocrysts and matrix glasses) and microtextures. Water contents of glass inclusions are scattered in the plinian pumices but on average compare with the experimentally-deduced pre-eruptive melt water content (i.e., 5.3–6.3 wt.%), whereas they are much lower in the dominant pelean lithologies (crystalline, poorly vesicular lithics and dome samples). This indicates that the glass inclusions of the pelean products have undergone strong leakage and do not represent pre-eruptive water contents. The water content of the pyroclast matrix glasses are thought to closely represent the residual water content in the melt at the time of fragmentation. Determination of the water contents of both the pre-eruptive melt and matrix glasses allows the estimation of the amount of water exsolved upon syn-eruptive degassing. We find the amount of water exsolved during the eruptive process to be higher in the pelean products than in the plinian ones, typically 90–100 and 65–70% of the initial water content, respectively. The vesicularities calculated from the amount of exsolved water compare with the measured vesicularities for the plinian pumices, consistent with a closed-system, near-equilibrium degassing up to fragmentation. By contrast, the low residual water contents, low groundmass vesicularities and extensive groundmass crystallization of the pelean products are direct evidence of open-system degassing. Microtextural features, including silica-bearing and silica-free voids in the pelean lithologies may represent a two-stage vesiculation.  相似文献

Pantelleria Island, located in the Sicily Channel Rift Zone (Italy), is the type locality for the peralkaline rhyolitic rocks called pantellerites. In the last 50 ka, after the large Green Tuff caldera-forming eruption, volcanic activity at Pantelleria has consisted of effusive and explosive eruptions mostly vented inside and along the rim of the caldera and producing silicic lava flows, lava domes and poorly dispersed pantelleritic pumice fall deposits. Basaltic cinder cones and lava flows are only present outside the caldera in the NW sector of the island. The most recent basaltic (Cuddie Rosse, ~ 20 ka) and pantelleritic (Cuddia Randazzo and Cuddia del Gallo, ~ 6 ka) pyroclastic products were sampled to investigate magmatic volatile contents through the study of melt inclusions.The melt inclusions in pyroxene and olivine phenocrysts of Cuddie Rosse scoriae have an alkali basalt composition. The dissolved volatiles comprise 0.9–1.6 wt.% H2O, several hundred ppm of CO2, 1600–2000 ppm of sulphur and 500–900 ppm of chlorine. The water–carbon dioxide couple gives a confining pressure ~ 2 kbar prior to the eruption. This result indicates that episodes of magma ponding and crystallization occurred in the upper crust prior to eruption. The melt inclusions in feldspar, fayalite and aenigmatite phenocrysts of Cuddia del Gallo and Cuddia Randazzo pumice have a pantelleritic composition (Agpaitic Indices 1.3–2.1), up to 4.4 wt.% H2O, 8700 ppm Cl, 6000 ppm F, and CO2 below the detection limit. Sulphur averaging 420 ppm has been measured in Cuddia Randazzo melt inclusions. These data indicate relatively high volatile contents for these low-energy Strombolian-type eruptions. Melt inclusions in Cuddia del Gallo pumice show the most evolved composition (Agpaitic Indices 2–2.1) and the highest volatile content, in agreement with fluid saturation conditions in the magma chamber prior to the eruption. This implies a confining pressure of ~ 1 kbar for the top of the pantelleritic reservoir. The composition of melt inclusions and mineralogical assemblage of Cuddia Randazzo pumice indicate that it has a lower evolutionary degree (Agpaitic Indices 1.3–1.8) and lower pre-eruptive Cl and H2O contents than Cuddia del Gallo pumice. An increase in pressure due to the exsolution of volatiles in the upper part of the pantelleritic reservoir may have triggered the Cuddia del Gallo explosive eruption. Evidence of widespread pre-eruptive mingling between trachytes and pantellerites suggests that the intrusion of trachytic magma into the pantelleritic reservoir likely played a major role in destabilizing the magma system just prior to the Cuddia Randazzo event.  相似文献

The November 2002 eruption of Piton de la Fournaise in the Indian Ocean was typical of the activity of the volcano from 1999 to 2006 in terms of duration and volume of magma ejected. The first magma erupted was a basaltic liquid with a small proportion of olivine phenocrysts (Fo81) that contain small numbers of melt inclusions. In subsequent flows, olivine crystals were more abundant and richer in Mg (Fo83–84). These crystals contain numerous melt and fluid inclusions, healed fractures, and dislocation features such as kink bands. The major element composition of melt inclusions in this later olivine (Fo83–84) is out of equilibrium with that of its host as a result of extensive post-entrapment crystallization and Fe2+ loss by diffusion during cooling. Melt inclusions in Fo81 olivine are also chemically out of equilibrium with their hosts but to a lesser degree. Using olivine–melt geothermometry, we determined that melt inclusions in Fo81 olivine were trapped at lower temperature (1,182 ± 1°C) than inclusions in Fo83–84 olivine (1,199–1,227°C). This methodology was also used to estimate eruption temperatures. The November 2002 melt inclusion compositions suggest that they were at temperatures between 1,070°C and 1,133°C immediately before eruption and quenching. This relatively wide temperature range may reflect the fact that most of the melt inclusions were from olivine in lava samples and therefore likely underwent minor but variable amounts of post-eruptive crystallization and Fe2+ loss by diffusion due to their relatively slow cooling on the surface. In contrast, melt inclusions in tephra samples from past major eruptions yielded a narrower range of higher eruption temperatures (1,163–1,181°C). The melt inclusion data presented here and in earlier publications are consistent with a model of magma recharge from depth during major eruptions, followed by storage, cooling, and crystallization at shallow levels prior to expulsion during events similar in magnitude to the relatively small November 2002 eruption.  相似文献

In this paper we discuss the uncommon case of an energetic, pyroclastic-flow-forming eruption with a SiO2-poor (42-45 wt.%), K-foiditic magma composition. The Trigoria-Tor de' Cenci Tuff (TTC; 561 ka) is the product of the first large-scale explosive event (of the order of 1-10 km3 of erupted products) in the Alban Hills Volcanic District, near the city of Rome, Italy. After an initial Plinian phase that produced a scoria fall horizon, pyroclastic current activity emplaced ash deposits with leucite-bearing juvenile scoria lapilli. The abundance of accretionary lapilli, the most distinctive feature of these deposits, together with the high degree of fragmentation, the abundance of minute lithic inclusions and the morphology of ash particles, indicates a hydromagmatic character for the most part of the eruption. The absence of vent-derived carbonate lithic clasts from the deep regional aquifer and the abundance of cognate lithic fragments suggest that the interaction with external water involved a surficial aquifer in the older Alban Hills volcanic terrains. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the TTC is the K-foiditic composition of the pre-eruptive melt, which, to our knowledge, is unique among explosive events of comparable size elsewhere in the world. The pre-eruptive magma system feeding the TTC was controlled mainly by leucite+clinopyroxene fractionation under aH2O<1 conditions. The low SiO2 activity prevented plagioclase and K-feldspar crystallization. The depth of the magma chamber can be estimated at 3-6 km within the carbonate substrate. In contrast to the other major pyroclastic-flow-forming eruptions of the Alban Hills, the juvenile volatile exsolution due to magma crystallization is not seen as the main mechanism driving the TTC eruption. We suggest that the explosive behaviour of the TTC magma in the early magmatic phase resulted from a rapid decompression due to a regional seismic event and from magma-water interaction in the succeeding phase.  相似文献

Water, F, and Cl contents of melt inclusions in phenocrysts from the 2-ka-old Taupo and Hatepe plinian tephras, and the 22-ka-old Okaia tephra from the Taupo volcanic center, New Zealand, were measured by electron and ion microprobe. Major and trace element chemistry of the inclusions is similar to that of bulk rock, supporting our assumption that volatile contents of inclusions are representative of the magma in which the crystals grew. Inclusions in the 2-ka Taupo plinian tephra contain a mean of 4.3 wt% H2O, 450 ppm F, and 1700 ppm Cl; from the Hatepe plinian tephra 4.3 wt% H2O, 430 ppm F, and 1700 ppm Cl; and from the Okaia tephra 5.9 wt% H2O, 470 ppm F, and 2100 ppm Cl. Sulfur was below the detection limit of 200 ppm. The constant H2O, F and Cl from a number of stratigraphic horizons in the tephra deposits suggest that the Taupo and Hatepe plinian tephras (>8.2 km3 magma volume) were derived from a magma body that did not contain a strong volatile gradient. By inference, there is no pre-eruptive volatile difference between these plinian eruptions and a phrea-toplinian eruption which occurred between the two. Virtually no major element zonation is seen in this eruptive sequence. Although the Okaia tephra was also erupted from the Taupo volcanic center, probably from a similar vent area, its higher volatile contents and distinct composition as compared to the Taupo tephras show that it was derived from a different, and possibly deeper, magma body.  相似文献

 Lava drainback has been observed during many eruptions at Kilauea Volcano: magma erupts, degasses in lava fountains, collects in surface ponds, and then drains back beneath the surface. Time series data for melt inclusions from the 1959 Kilauea Iki picrite provide important evidence concerning the effects of drainback on the H2O contents of basaltic magmas at Kilauea. Melt inclusions in olivine from the first eruptive episode, before any drainback occurred, have an average H2O content of 0.7±0.2 wt.%. In contrast, many inclusions from the later episodes, erupted after substantial amounts of surface degassed lava had drained back down the vent, have H2O contents that are much lower (≥0.24 wt.% H2O). Water contents in melt inclusions from magmas erupted at Pu'u 'O'o on the east rift zone vary from 0.39–0.51 wt.% H2O in tephra from high fountains to 0.10–0.28 wt.% H2O in spatter from low fountains. The low H2O contents of many melt inclusions from Pu'u 'O'o and post-drainback episodes of Kilauea Iki reveal that prior to crystallization of the enclosing olivine host, the melts must have exsolved H2O at pressures substantially less than those in Kilauea's summit magma reservoir. Such low-pressure H2O exsolution probably occurred as surface degassed magma was recycled by drainback and mixing with less degassed magma at depth. Recognition of the effects of low-pressure degassing and drainback leads to an estimate of 0.7 wt.% H2O for differentiated tholeiitic magma in Kilauea's summit magma storage reservoir. Data for MgO-rich submarine glasses (Clague et al. 1995) and melt inclusions from Kilauea Iki demonstrate that primary Kilauean tholeiitic magma has an H2O/K2O mass ratio of ∼1.3. At transition zone and upper mantle depths in the Hawaiian plume source, H2O probably resides partly in a small amount of hydrous silicate melt.
