The average compositions (including H2O, Cl, F, and S contents) and chemical structure of oceanic mantle plumes were estimated on the basis of the ratios of incompatible volatile components, potassium, and some other elements in the basaltic magmas of ocean islands (melt inclusions and quenched glasses). The following average concentrations were estimated for the plume mantle: 510 ppm K2O, 520 ppm H2O, 21 ppm Cl, 55 ppm F, and 83 ppm S; these values are significantly higher than those of the depleted mantle (except for S). The abundances of H2O, Cl, and S are lower than in the primitive mantle. The normalized H2O content in the plume mantle is similar to the concentrations of similarly incompatible La and Ce but lower than the concentrations of K2O, Cl, and Sr. This is at odds with the idea of wet mantle plumes. Three types of basaltic magmas corresponding to three types of plume sources (M1, M2, and M3) were distinguished. The concentrations of incompatible elements in these reservoirs were estimated using two models, assuming either an isochemical mantle or a moderately enriched composition of plume material. The latter model gave the following average concentrations of H2O, Cl, F, and S: 130, 33, 11, and 110 ppm for M1, 110, 12, 65, and 45 ppm for M2; 530, 29, 49, and 110 ppm for M3. The plume mantle is not homogeneous, and its heterogeneity is related to the existence of three main compositions, one of which (M1) is similar to the mantle of mid-ocean ridges, and two others (M2 and M3) are moderately enriched in K2O, TiO2, P2O5, F, and incompatible trace elements. The compositions of M2 and M3 are strongly different in H2O, Cl, and S contents. The M2 mantle reservoir is significantly poorer in these components and richer in incompatible trace elements than M3. The plume mantle was formed mainly by the mixing of three sources: ultradepleted mantle, moderately enriched relatively dry mantle, and moderately enriched H2O-rich mantle. In addition to the three main components of the plume mantle, there are probably minor components enriched in chlorine and depleted in fluorine. It is supposed that all these components are entrained into the plume mantle through the mantle recycling of components of the oceanic and continental crust. The established relationships are in agreement with the zonal model of a mantle plume, which includes a hot central part poor in H2O, Cl, and S; an outer part enriched in volatile and nonvolatile incompatible elements; and enclosing mantle material interacting with the plume.  相似文献

Based on the generalization of the compositions of melt inclusions and quenched glasses from basaltic rocks, the average compositions of magmas were estimated for mid-ocean ridges (MOR), intraplate continental environments (CR), and ocean islands and plateaus (OI). These compositions were used to constrain the average contents of trace and volatile elements in mantle sources. A procedure was developed for the estimation of the average contents of incompatible elements, including volatiles (H2O, Cl, F, and S), in the mantle. A comparison of the obtained average contents for the depleted mantle (DM) with the available published estimates showed that the contents of most incompatible trace elements (H2O, Cl, F, Be, B, Rb, Sr, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Hf, Ta, Th, and U) can be reliably estimated from the ratio of K to the desired trace element in the MOR magmas and the average content of K in the DM. For Nb, Ti, P, S, Li, Y, and heavy REE, we used the ratios of their contents to an element with a similar degree of incompatibility in MOR magmas (U for Nb and Dy for the other elements). This approach was used to determine the average contents of incompatible elements in oceanic plume mantle (OPM) and the subcontinental mantle of intraplate settings or continental plume mantle (CPM). It was shown that the average composition of both suboceanic and subcontinental mantle plumes is moderately enriched compared with the DM in the most incompatible elements (K, U, Ba, and La) and volatile components (H2O, Cl, and F). The extent of volatile component enrichment in the plume mantle (500–1500 ppm H2O) is insufficient for a significant depression of the mantle solidus. Therefore, mantle plumes must be hotter than the ambient depleted mantle. The average contents of incompatible trace elements in the OPM are similar to those of the primitive mantle, which could be related either to the retention of primitive mantle material in the regions of plume generation or to DM fertilization at the expense of the deep mantle recycling of crustal materials. In the latter case, the negative anomaly of water in the trace-element distribution patterns of the OPM is explained by the participation of dehydrated crust in its formation. Variations in the compositions of magmas and their sources were considered for various geodynamic settings, and it was shown that the sources are heterogeneous with respect to trace and volatile components. The chemical heterogeneity of the magma sources and gradual transitions between them suggest that the mantle reservoirs interact with each other. Chemical variations in continental and oceanic plume magmas can be attributed to the existence of several interacting sources, including one depleted and at least two enriched reservoirs with different contents of volatiles. These variations are in agreement with the zoned structure of mantle plumes, which consist of a hot and relatively dry core, a colder outer shell with high contents of volatile components, and a zone of interaction between the plume and depleted mantle.  相似文献

Using our database of the compositions of melt inclusions and quenched glasses of basaltic magmas from mid-ocean ridges (MORB), the average concentrations and ratios of H2O, Cl, F, S, K2O, Ce, and Dy were determined in these magmas. Assuming that the concentration ratios of volatile components to K2O are constant in the MORB magmas and their sources (depleted mantle, DM), and taking an average K2O content in the DM of 72 ppm, the following average contents were estimated for the DM: 158 ppm H2O, 6.6 ppm Cl, and 8.3 ppm F. Using an S/Dy ratio of 212 for MORB melts and a Dy concentration of 0.531 ppm in the DM, the concentration of S in the DM was estimated as 113 ppm. Our value for the average content of Cl is much higher than estimates obtained by other authors. This discrepancy could be due either to the assimilation of crustal (and hydrospheric) Cl by MORB magmas or to the deep mantle recycling of Cl. The latter mechanism is supported by the statistically significant positive correlation of Cl with K2O, H2O, and F. Such a correlation is not consistent with the hypothesis of basaltic magma contamination by seawater-derived chloride brines. Similar to other surface processes, the assimilation of crustal material operates within the existing global correlations and disturbs them. Based on the average integrated degree of mantle melting and the average degree of MORB magma differentiation (0.05), the average contents of potassium and volatile components in N-MORB and E-MORB mantle sources were estimated as 39 and 126 ppm K2O, 103 and 197 ppm H2O, 4.0 and 10.7 ppm Cl, and 3.9 and 9.1 ppm F, respectively. It is not likely that normal MORB magmas can be derived from depleted mantle that experienced a previous partial melting event (for instance, during the extraction of the primordial continental crust in the Early Precambrian), which was referred to as the ultradepleted mantle. Ordinary (not ultradepleted) MORB magmas can be derived either by the melting of a zone enriched DM (for instance, progressively enriched in incompatible components with depth), which is hardly possible, or by the continuous addition (mixing) of an enriched component to the ultradepleted mantle at the expense of sediments and crustal materials involved in deep recycling.  相似文献

New H2O, CO2 and S concentration data for basaltic glasses fromLoihi seamount, Hawaii, allow us to model degassing, assimilation,and the distribution of major volatiles within and around theHawaiian plume. Degassing and assimilation have affected CO2and Cl but not H2O concentrations in most Loihi glasses. Waterconcentrations relative to similarly incompatible elements inHawaiian submarine magmas are depleted (Loihi), equivalent (Kilauea,North Arch, Kauai–Oahu), or enriched (South Arch). H2O/Ceratios are uncorrelated with major element composition or extentor depth of melting, but are related to position relative tothe Hawaiian plume and mantle source region composition, consistentwith a zoned plume model. In front of the plume core, overlyingmantle is metasomatized by hydrous partial melts derived fromthe Hawaiian plume. Downstream from the plume core, lavas tapa depleted source region with H2O/Ce similar to enriched Pacificmid-ocean ridge basalt. Within the plume core, mantle components,thought to represent subducted oceanic lithosphere, have waterenrichments equivalent to (KEA) or less than (KOO) that of Ce.Lower H2O/Ce in the KOO component may reflect efficient dehydrationof the subducting oceanic crust and sediments during recyclinginto the deep mantle.

Studies of the mantle-derived iherzolites from Nushan show that in addition to CO2,there were present H2O and small amounts of CO, CH4, SO2,Cl and F in the initial mantlc fluids derived fron the asthenospheric mantlc plumc .The imitial fluids accumulated in some regions of the mantle, resulting in lowering of the mantle solidus (and liquidus) and partial melting of the upper mantle. Melts formed from low-degree of fluid-involved partial melting of the upper mantle would be highly enriched in incompatible elements.Fluies and melts are allthe metasomatic agents for mantle metasomatism, and the interaction between them and the depleted mantle could result in the substan-tial local enrichment of LREE and incompatible elements in the latter.In case that the concentration of H2O in the fluids (and melts) is lower ,only cryptic metasomatism would occur, in case that the concentration of H2O is higher,the degree of partial melting would be higher and hydrous metasomatic phases(e.g. amphiboles )would nucleate. Under such circumstances, there would occur model metasomatism.  相似文献

Based on the generalization of data on melt inclusions and quenched glasses, the average compositions of subduction (island arc and active continental margin settings) basic magmas were estimated. The main geochemical features of the average composition of these magmas are significant depletion in Nb and Ta, less significant depletion in Ti, Zr, and Sm, and enrichment in Cl, H2O, F, and P in the primitive mantlenormalized patterns. The average normalized contents of moderately incompatible HREE in these magmas are close to those in the basic magmas of other geodynamic settings. Subduction basic magmas exhibit negative correlation of Li, Y, Dy, Er, Yb, Lu, and Ti contents with MgO content. Most of incompatible elements (Nb, Ta, U, Th, LREE) do not correlate with MgO, but correlate with each other and K2O. Variations in element contents are related to crystallization differentiation, magma mixing, and possibly, participation of several sources. The water content in the island arc basic magmas varies from almost zero value to more than 6 wt %. Most compositions are characterized by weak negative correlation between H2O and MgO contents, but some compositions define a negative correlation close to that in magmas of mid-ocean ridges (MOR). Considered magmas demonstrate distinct positive correlation between MgO content and homogenization temperature, practically coinciding with that of MOR magmas. Modeling of phase equilibria revealed widening of crystallization field of olivine in the magmas of subduction zones compared to MOR magmas. This can be related to the high water content in subduction magmas. Simultaneous liquidus crystallization of olivine and clinopyroxene in subduction magmas occurs at pressure approximately 5 kbar higher than that of MOR magmas. Based on the average ratios of trace element to K2O content, we determined the average compositions for subduction magma sources. Relative to depleted mantle, they are enriched in all incompatible elements, with positive anomalies of U, Rb, Ba, B, Pb, Cl, H2O, F, and S, and negative anomalies of Th, K, Be, Nb, Ta, Li, Nd, Pb, and Ti. A general elevated content of incompatible elements indicates a reworking of the rocks of mantle wedge by fluids and melts that were released from the upper layers of subducted plate.  相似文献

Submarine pillow basalts (34 Ma) recovered from the NorthernKerguelen Plateau at ODP Site 1140 contain abundant unalteredglass, providing the first opportunity to measure the volatilecontents of tholeiitic basaltic magmas related to the Kerguelenmantle plume. The glasses have La/Sm and Nb/Zr ratios that varyfrom values similar to Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR) MORB (Unit1), to slightly more enriched (Unit 6), to values transitionalbetween SEIR MORB and basaltic magmas formed by melting of theKerguelen plume (Units 2 and 3). Volatile contents for glassesin Units 1 and 6 are similar to depleted mid-ocean ridge basalt(MORB) values (0·25–0·27 wt % H2O, 1240–1450ppm S, 42–54 ppm Cl). In contrast, H2O contents are higherfor the enriched glasses (Unit 2, 0·44 wt % H2O; Unit3, 0·69 wt %), as are S (1500 ppm) and Cl (146–206ppm). Cl/K ratios for all glasses are relatively low (0·03–0·04),indicating that assimilation of hydrothermally altered materialdid not occur during shallow-level crystallization. H2O/Ce forthe enriched glasses (Units 2 and 3) is significantly lowerthan Pacific and South Atlantic MORB values, suggesting thatlow H2O/Ce may be an inherent characteristic of the Kerguelenplume source. Vapor saturation pressures calculated using theH2O and CO2 contents of the glasses indicate that  相似文献

We have performed phase equilibrium experiments in the system forsterite–enstatite–pyrope-H2O with MgCl2 or MgF2 at 1,100 °C and 2.6 GPa to constrain the solubility of halogens in the peridotite mineral assemblage and the fluid–mineral partition coefficients. The chlorine solubility in forsterite, enstatite and in pyrope is very low, 2.1–3.9 and 4.0–11.4 ppm, respectively, and it is independent of the fluid salinity (0.3–30 wt% Cl), suggesting that some intrinsic saturation limit in the crystal is reached already at very low chlorine concentrations. Chlorine is therefore exceedingly incompatible in upper-mantle minerals. The fluorine solubility is 170–336 ppm in enstatite and 510–1,110 ppm in pyrope, again independent of fluid salinity. Forsterite dissolves 1,750–1,900 ppm up to a fluid salinity of 1.6 wt% F. At higher fluorine contents in the system, forsterite is replaced by the minerals of the humite group. The lower solubility of chlorine by three orders of magnitude when compared to fluorine is consistent with increasing lattice strain. Fluid–mineral partition coefficients are 100–102 for fluorine and 103–105 for chlorine. Since the latter values are orders of magnitude higher than those for hydroxyl partitioning, fluid flow from the subducting slab through the mantle wedge will lead to an efficient sequestration of H2O into the nominally anhydrous minerals in the wedge, whereas chlorine becomes enriched in the residual fluid. Simple mass balance calculations reveal that rock–fluid ratios of up to >3,000 are required to produce the elevated Cl/H2O ratios observed in some primitive arc magmas. Accordingly, fluid flow from the subducted slab into the zone of melting in the mantle wedge does not only occur rapidly in narrow channels, but at least in some subduction zones, fluid pervasively infiltrates the mantle peridotite and interacts with a large volume of the mantle wedge. Together with the Cl/H2O ratios of primitive arc magmas, our data therefore constrain the fluid flow regime below volcanic arcs.  相似文献

Continental flood basalts, derived from mantle plumes that rise from the convecting mantle and possibly as deep as the core–mantle boundary, are major hosts for world-class Ni–Cu–PGE ore deposits. Each plume may have a complex history and heterogeneous composition. Therefore, some plumes may be predisposed to be favourable for large-scale Ni–PGE mineralisation (“fertile”).Geochemical data from 10 large igneous provinces (LIPs) have been collected from the literature to search for chemical signatures favourable for Ni–PGE mineralisation. The provinces include Deccan, Kerguelen, Ontong Java, Paraná, Ferrar, Karoo, Emeishan, Siberia, Midcontinent and Bushveld. Among these LIPs, Bushveld, Siberia, Midcontinent, Emei Mt and Karoo are “fertile”, hosting magmatic ore deposits or mineralisation of various type, size and grade. They most commonly intruded through, or on the edges of, Archaean–Paleoproterozoic cratonic blocks. In contrast, the “barren” LIPs have erupted through both continental and oceanic crustal terranes of various ages.Radiogenic isotopic signatures indicate that almost all parental LIP magmas are generated from deep-seated mantle plumes, and not from the more widespread depleted asthenospheric mantle source: this confirms generally accepted plume models. However, several important geochemical signatures of LIPs have been identified in this study that can discriminate between those that are “fertile” or “barren” in terms of their Ni–PGE potential.The fertile LIPs generally contain a relatively high proportion of primitive melts that are high in MgO and Ni, low in Al2O3 and Na2O, and are highly enriched in most of the strongly incompatible elements such as K, P, Ba, Sr, Pb, Th, Nb, and LREE. They have relatively high Os contents (≥ 0.03 to 10 ppb) and low Re/Os (< 10). The fertile LIP basalts display trends of Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic variation intermediate between the depleted plume and an EM1-type mantle composition (and thus could represent a mixing of these two source types), and have elevated Ba/Th, Ba/Nb and K/Ti ratios. These elemental and isotopic signatures suggest that interaction between plume-related magmas and ancient cratonic lithospheric mantle with pre-existing Ni- and PGE-rich sulfide phases may have contributed significantly to the PGE and Ni budget of the fertile flood basalts and eventually to the mineralisation. This observation is consistent with the location of fertile LIPs adjacent to deep old lithospheric roots (as inferred from tectonic environment and also seen in global tomographic images) and has predictive implications for exploration models.Barren LIPs contain fewer high-MgO lavas. The barren LIP lavas in general have low Os contents (mostly ≤ 0.02 ppb) with high Re/Os (10–≥ 200). They show isotopic variations between plume and EM2 geochemical signatures and have high Rb/Ba ratios. These signatures may indicate involvement of deep recycled material in the mantle sources or crustal contamination for barren LIPs, but low degrees of interaction with old lithospheric-type roots.  相似文献

Major and trace elements and water contents were analyzed in 16 peridotite xenoliths embedded by the Cenozoic basalts in Pingnan (southeastern Guangxi Province), to constrain the chemical composition and evolution of the lithospheric mantle located in the central part of the South China Block (SCB). The peridotites are mainly moderately refractory harzburgites and lherzolites (Mg#-Ol?=?90.3–91.7) and minor fertile lherzolites (Mg#-Ol?=?88.9–89.9). Clinopyroxenes in the peridotites show LREE-depleted pattern, and commonly exhibit negative anomalies in Nb and Ti, suggesting the peridotites probably represent residues after 1–10% of partial melting without significant mantle metasomatism. Water contents range from 146 to 237 ppm wt. H2O in clinopyroxene, and from 65 to 112 ppm wt. H2O, in orthopyroxene but are below detection limit (2 ppm wt. H2O) in olivine. Calculated bulk water contents, based on the mineral modes and partition coefficient, range from 14 to 83 ppm wt. H2O (average 59 ppm wt. H2O). There is a correlation between melting indices (such as Mg#-Ol, Ybn in clinopyroxene) and water contents in clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, but no correlation is observed between the whole-rock water contents and the redox state (Fe3+/∑Fe ratios in spinel), suggesting that water contents in the peridotites are mainly controlled by the degree of partial melting rather than by oxygen fugacity. The lithospheric mantle beneath the interior of the SCB may not be compositionally stratified; fertile and moderately refractory mantle coexist at the similar depths. Geochemical data and water contents of the studied peridotites are similar to the proposed MORB source and indicate that the ancient refractory lithospheric mantle was irregularly eroded or reacted by the upwelling asthenosphere, and eventually replaced by juvenile fertile accreted mantle through the cooling of the asthenosphere.  相似文献

We studied the systematics of Cl, F and H2O in Izu arc front volcanic rocks using basaltic through rhyolitic glass shards and melt inclusions (Izu glasses) from Oligocene to Quaternary distal fallout tephra. These glasses are low-K basalts to rhyolites that are equivalent to the Quaternary lavas of the Izu arc front (Izu VF). Most of the Izu glasses have Cl ∼400-4000 ppm and F ∼70-400 ppm (normal-group glasses). Rare andesitic melt inclusions (halogen-rich andesites; HRA) have very high abundances of Cl (∼6600-8600 ppm) and F (∼780-910 ppm), but their contents of incompatible large ion lithophile elements (LILE) are similar to the normal-group glasses. The preeruptive H2O of basalt to andesite melt inclusions in plagioclase is estimated to range from ∼2 to ∼10 wt% H2O. The Izu magmas should be undersaturated in H2O and the halogens at their preferred levels of crystallization in the middle to lower crust (∼3 to ∼11 kbar, ∼820° to ∼1200°C). A substantial portion of the original H2O is lost due to degassing during the final ascent to surface. By contrast, halogen loss is minor, except for loss of Cl from siliceous dacitic and rhyolitic compositions. The behavior of Cl, F and H2O in undegassed melts resembles the fluid mobile LILE (e.g.; K, Rb, Cs, Ba, U, Pb, Li). Most of the Cl (>99%), H2O (>95%) and F (>53%) in the Izu VF melts appear to originate from the subducting slab. At arc front depths, the slab fluid contains Cl = 0.94 ± 0.25 wt%, F = 990 ± 270 ppm and H2O = 25 ± 7 wt%. If the subducting sediment and the altered basaltic crust were the only slab sources, then the subducted Cl appears to be almost entirely recycled at the Izu arc (∼77-129%). Conversely, H2O (∼13-22% recycled at arc) and F (∼4-6% recycled) must be either lost during shallow subduction or retained in the slab to greater depths. If a seawater-impregnated serpentinite layer below the basaltic crust were an additional source of Cl and H2O, the calculated percentage of Cl and H2O recycled at arc would be lower. Extrapolating the Izu data to the total length of global arcs (∼37,000 km), the global arc outflux of fluid-recycled Cl and H2O at subduction zones amounts to Cl ∼2.9-3.8 × 1012 g/yr and H2O ∼0.7-1.0 × 1014 g/yr, respectively—comparable to previous estimates. Further, we obtain a first estimate of global arc outflux of fluid-recycled F of ∼0.3-0.4 × 1012g/yr. Despite the inherent uncertainties, our results support models suggesting that the slab becomes strongly depleted in Cl and H2O in subduction zones. In contrast, much of the subducted F appears to be returned to the deep mantle, implying efficient fractionation of Cl and H2O from F during the subduction process. However, if slab devolatilization produces slab fluids with high Cl/F (∼9.5), slab melting will still produce components with low Cl/F ratios (∼0.9), similar to those characteristic of the upper continental crust (Cl/F ∼0.3-0.9).  相似文献

Nominally anhydrous phases (clinopyroxene (cpx), orthopyroxene (opx), and olivine (ol)) of peridotite xenoliths hosted by the Cenozoic basalts from Beishan (Hebei province), and Fansi (Shanxi province), Western part of the North China Craton (WNCC) have been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The H2O contents (wt.) of cpx, opx and ol are 30–255 ppm, 14–95 ppm and ~ 0 ppm, respectively. Although potential H-loss during xenolith ascent cannot be excluded for olivine, pyroxenes (cpx and opx) largely preserve the H2O content of their mantle source inferred from (1) the homogenous H2O content within single pyroxene grains, and (2) equilibrium H2O partitioning between cpx and opx. Based on mineral modes and assuming a partition coefficient of 10 for H2O between cpx and ol, the recalculated whole-rock H2O contents range from 6 to 42 ppm. In combination with previously reported data for other two localities (Hannuoba and Yangyuan from Hebei province), the H2O contents of cpx, opx and whole-rock of peridotite xenoliths (43 samples) hosted by the WNCC Cenozoic basalts range from 30 to 654 ppm, 14 to 225 ppm, and 6 to 262 ppm respectively. The H2O contents of the Cenozoic lithospheric mantle represented by peridotite xenoliths fall in a similar range for both WNCC and the eastern part of the NCC (Xia et al., 2010, Journal of Geophysical Research). Clearly, the Cenozoic lithospheric mantle of the NCC is dominated by much lower water content compared to the MORB source (50–250 ppm). The low H2O content is not caused by oxidation of the mantle domain, and likely results from mantle reheating, possibly due to an upwelling asthenospheric flow during the late Mesozoic–early Cenozoic lithospheric thinning of the NCC. If so, the present NCC lithospheric mantle mostly represents relict ancient lithospheric mantle. Some newly accreted and cooled asthenospheric mantle may exist in localities close to deep fault.  相似文献

The South Mid-Atlantic Ridge (SMAR) 19°S segment, approximately located along the line of Saint Helena volcanic chain (created by Saint Helena mantle plume), is an ideal place to investigate the issue whether the ridge-hotpot interaction process affected the whole MAR. In this study, we present major and trace elemental compositions and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic ratios of twenty fresh lava samples concentrated in a relatively small area in the SMAR 19°S segment. Major oxides compositions show that all samples are tholeiite. Low contents of compatible trace elements (e.g., Ni ​= ​239–594 ​ppm and Cr ​= ​456–1010 ​ppm) and low Fe/Mn (54–67) and Ce/Yb (0.65–1.5) ratios of these lavas show that their parental magmas are partially melted by a spinel lherzolite mantle source. Using software PRIMELT3, this study obtained mantle potential temperatures (Tp) beneath the segment of 1321–1348 ​°C, which is lower relative to those ridges influenced by mantle plumes. The asthenospheric mantle beneath the SMAR 19°S segment starts melting at a depth of ~63 ​km and ceases melting at ~43 ​km with a final melting temperature of ~1265 ​°C. The extent of partial melting is up to 16%–17.6% with an average adiabatic decompression value of 2.6%/kbar. The correlations of major oxides (CaO/Al2O3) and trace elements (Cr, Co, V) with MgO and Zr show that the parental magma experienced olivine and plagioclase fractional crystallization during its ascent to the surface.87Sr/86Sr (0.702398–0.702996), 143Nd/144Nd (0.513017–0.513177) and 206Pb/204Pb (18.444–19.477) ratios of these lavas indicate the mantle source beneath the SMAR 19°S segment is composed of a three-component mixture of depleted MORB mantle, PREMA mantle, and HIMU mantle materials. The simple, binary mixing results among components from plume-free SMAR MORB, Saint Helena plume and Tristan plume show that asthenospheric mantle beneath the SMAR 19°S segment may be polluted by both Saint Helena and Tristan plume enriched materials. The abovementioned mantle potential temperatures, together with the low Saint Helena (<10%) and Tristan (<5%) components remaining in the asthenospheric mantle at present, show that the physically ridge-hotspot interactions at SMAR 19°S segment may have ceased. However, the trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopically binary mixing calculation results imply that these lavas tapped some enriched pockets left when Saint Helena and/or Tristan plume were once on the SMAR during earlier Atlantic rifted history.  相似文献

We present data on volatile (S, F and Cl) and major element contents in olivine-hosted melt inclusions (MIs) from alkaline basaltic tephras along the Quaternary Payenia backarc volcanic province (~34°S–38°S) of the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ). The composition of Cr-spinel inclusions and host olivines in Payenia are also included to constrain any variations in oxygen fugacity. The variation of potassium, fluorine and chlorine in MIs in Payenia can be modelled by partial melting (1–10%) of a variously metasomatised mantle. The high chlorine contents in MIs (up to 3200 ppm) from Northern Payenia require addition of subduction-related fluids to a mantle wedge, whereas volatile signatures in the southern Payenia are consistent with derivation from an enriched OIB source. Cl and Cl/K ratios define positive correlations with host olivine fosterite content (Fo80-90) that cannot be explained by olivine fractionation, degassing and/or degree of mantle melting. Neither can the correlation between SiO2 and TiO2 in the MIs and host olivine Fo-content be explained by magmatic differentiation processes. Instead these correlations essentially require a south to north mantle source transition from a low Mg# pyroxenite (from recycled eclogite) to a high Mg# fluid metasomatised peridotite. The Cl/K and S/K ratios in Payenia MIs extend from enriched OIB-like signatures (south) to Andean SVZ arc like signatures (north). We show that the northward increase in S, Cl and S/K is coupled to a northward increase in melt oxidation states and thus in Fe3+/Fetot ratios in the magmas. The increase in oxidation state also correlates with an increase of Mn/Fe (olivine) ratios. We calculate that 25% of the apparent north–south pyroxenite–peridotite source variation in Payenia (based on olivine Mn/Fe ratios) can be explained by the south to north variation in melt oxidation states.  相似文献

Our database of published contents of volatile, major, and trace elements in melt inclusions in minerals and quenched glasses of volcanic rocks was used to calculate the mean compositions of alkaline and subalkaline melts of ocean islands. The data array included ~10300 determinations from more than 200 publications. The alkaline basic melts (mean Na2O + K2O is 4.75 wt %) are strongly enriched compared with the subalkaline melts (mean Na2O + K2O is 2.70 wt %) in volatile components (0.96 and 0.37 wt % H2O, 650 and 190 ppm Cl, 1480 and 320 ppm F, and 930 and 530 ppm S, respectively) and many trace elements. For instance, the alkaline and subalkaline melts contain 31.8 and 7.2 ppm Rb, 50.1 and 9.6 ppm Nb, and 39.9 and 5.7 ppm La, respectively. Such relations were not observed for V, Cr, Co, Cu, Ga, and Sc. As to the major elements, the alkaline melts show significantly higher contents of Ti, Fe, and P, but lower contents of Si and Mg compared with the subalkaline melts. The enrichment of the alkaline melts in many trace elements compared with the subalkaline melts is retained also in silicic melts. The distribution of trace elements suggests a higher contribution of pyroxenite material during the formation of alkaline melts.  相似文献

Statistical analysis of a data bank of the compositions of glasses and melt inclusions in minerals from ocean-island basalts. The initial database contains more than 45 000 published analyses of ocean-island igneous rocks from around the world. Much attention was given to the contents of volatiles (H2O, Cl, F, and S) and their ratios to one another and to nonvolatile components of close incompatibility (Ti, P, K, and Ce). The average compositions of melt inclusions are similar to those of glasses of the rocks, including volatiles, with consideration for a somewhat higher degree (by approximately 20%) of the differentiation of glasses. The average compositions of ocean-island melts differ from those of mid-ocean basalts in having wider variations and elevated contents of some of the most incompatible elements (Sr, Nb, Ta, Ba, U, Th, and others), as well as H2O, F, and Cl. Based on the correlation of volatiles to one another and to incompatible elements, three groups of ocean-island basalts are distinguished: (I) low-K, P, Ti magma compositions approximating mid-ocean ridge magmas, (II) high-K, Ce, P, and Ti magmas that resemble continental rift magmas but differ from them in low H2O content, and (III) high-K, H2O, Ce, P, and Ti magmas close to continental rift magma. All three types of the melts were found only in the Hawaiian Archipelago, whereas other ocean islands are dominated by any one of these types. The distinguished melt types presumably reflect the differences (heterogeneity) in the compositions of the sources.  相似文献

Laboratory and numerical experiments simulating the heat transfer and flow structure of thermochemical mantle plumes provide insights into the mechanisms of plume eruption onto the surface depending on the relative thermal power of plumes Ka = N/N1, where N and N1 are the heat transferred from the plume base to the plume conduit and the heat transferred from the plume conduit to the surrounding mantle, respectively, under steady thermal conduction. There are three main types of plumes according to the Ka criterion: (i) plumes with low thermal power (Ka < 1.15), which fail to reach the surface, (ii) plumes with intermediate thermal power (1.15 < Ka < 1.9), which occur beneath cratons and transport melts from depths below 150 km, where diamond is stable (diamondiferous plumes), and (iii) plumes with a mushroom-shaped head (1.9 < Ka < 10), which are responsible for large intrusive bodies, including batholiths. The volume of erupted melt and the depth from which the melt is transported to the surface are estimated for plumes of types (ii) and (iii). The relationship between the plume head area (along with the plume head diameter) and the relative thermal power is obtained. The relationship between the thickness of the block above the plume head and the relative thermal power is derived. On the basis of the results obtained, the geodynamic-regime diagram of thermochemical mantle plumes, including the plumes with Ka > 10, has been constructed.  相似文献

Distribution of water among the main rock-forming nominally anhydrous minerals of mantle xenoliths of peridotitic and eclogitic parageneses from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe, Yakutia, has been studied by IR spectroscopy. The spectra of all minerals exhibit vibrations attributed to hydroxyl structural defects. The content of H2O (ppm) in minerals of peridotites is as follows: 23–75 in olivine, 52–317 in orthopyroxene, 29–126 in clinopyroxene, and 0–95 in garnet. In eclogites, garnet contains up to 833 ppm H2O, and clinopyroxene, up to 1898 ppm (~ 0.19 wt.%). The obtained data and the results of previous studies of minerals of mantle xenoliths show wide variations in H2O contents both within different kimberlite provinces and within the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe. Judging from the volume ratios of mineral phases in the studied xenoliths, the water content varies over narrow ranges of values, 38–126 ppm. At the same time, the water content in the studied eclogite xenoliths is much higher and varies widely, 391–1112 ppm.  相似文献

Water partitioning between mantle minerals from peridotite xenoliths   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  
The speciation and amount of water dissolved in nominally anhydrous silicates comprising eight different mantle xenoliths has been quantified using synchrotron micro-FTIR spectroscopy. Samples studied are from six geographic localities and represent a cross-section of the major upper mantle lithologies from a variety of tectonic settings. Clinopyroxene contains between 342 and 413 ppm H2O. Orthopyroxene, olivine and garnet contain 169–201, 3–54 and 0 to <3 ppm H2O, respectively. Pyroxenes water contents and the distribution of water between ortho- and clinopyroxene is identical regardless of sample mineralogy (D watercpx/opx = 2.1 ± 0.1). The total water contents of each xenolith are remarkably similar (113 ± 14 ppm H2O). High-resolution spectroscopic traverses show that the concentration and speciation of hydrous defects dissolved in each phase are spatially homogeneous within individual crystals and identical in different crystals interspersed throughout the xenolith. These results suggest that the amount of water dissolved in the silicate phases is in partial equilibrium with the transporting melt. Other features indicate that xenoliths have also preserved OH signatures of equilibrium with the mantle source region: Hydroxyl stretching modes in clinopyroxene show that garnet lherzolites re-equilibrated under more reducing conditions than spinel lherzolites. The distribution of water between pyroxenes and olivine differs according to xenolith mineralogy. The distribution of water between clinopyroxene and olivine from garnet peridotites (D watercpx/oliv(gnt) = 22.2 ± 24.1) is a factor of four greater than mineral pairs from spinel-bearing xenoliths (D watercpx/oliv(sp) = 88.1 ± 47.8). Such an increase in olivine water contents at the spinel to garnet transition is likely a global phenomenon and this discontinuity could lead to a reduction of the upper mantle viscosity by 0.2–0.7 log units and a reduction of its electrical resistivity by a factor of 0.5–0.8 log units.  相似文献
