 A first-order leveling survey across the northeast part of the Yellowstone caldera in September 1998 showed that the central caldera floor near Le Hardy Rapids rose 24±5 mm relative to the caldera rim at Lake Butte since the previous survey in September 1995. Annual surveys along the same traverse from 1985 to 1995 tracked progressive subsidence near Le Hardy Rapids at an average rate of –19±1 mm/year. Earlier, less frequent surveys measured net uplift in the same area during 1923–1976 (14±1 mm/year) and 1976–1984 (22±1 mm/year). The resumption of uplift following a decade of subsidence was first detected by satellite synthetic aperture radar interferometry, which revealed approximately 15 mm of uplift in the vicinity of Le Hardy Rapids from July 1995 to June 1997. Radar interferograms show that the center of subsidence shifted from the Sour Creek resurgent dome in the northeast part of the caldera during August 1992 to June 1993 to the Mallard Lake resurgent dome in the southwest part during June 1993 to August 1995. Uplift began at the Sour Creek dome during August 1995 to September 1996 and spread to the Mallard Lake dome by June 1997. The rapidity of these changes and the spatial pattern of surface deformation suggest that ground movements are caused at least in part by accumulation and migration of fluids in two sill-like bodies at 5–10 km depth, near the interface between Yellowstone's magmatic and deep hydrothermal systems.

Leveling surveys in 1923, 1976, and each year from 1983 to 1993 have shown that the east-central part of the Yellowstone caldera, near the base of the Sour Creek resurgent dome, rose at an average rate of 14±1 mm/year from 1923 to 1976 and 22±1 mm/year from 1976 to 1984. In contrast, no detectable movement occurred in the same area from 1984 to 1985 (-2±5 mm/year), and from 1985 to 1993 the area subsided at an average rate of 19±1 mm/year. We conclude that uplift from 1923 to 1984 was caused by: (1) pressurization of the deep hydrothermal system by fluids released from a crystallizing body of rhyolite magma beneath the caldera, then trapped beneath a self-sealed zone near the base of the hydrothermal system; and (2) aseismic intrusions of magma into the lower part of the sub-caldera magma body. Subsidence since 1985 is attributed to: (1) depressurization and fluid loss from the deep hydrothermal system, and (2) sagging of the caldera floor in response to regional crustal extension. Future intrusions might trigger renewed eruptive activity at Yellowstone, but most intrusions at large silicic calderas seem to be accommodated without eruptions. Overpressurization of the deep hydrothermal system could conceivably result in a phreatic or phreatomagmatic eruption, but this hazard is mitigated by episodic rupturing of the self-sealed zone during shallow earthquake swarms. Historical ground movements, although rapid by most geologic standards, seem to be typical of inter-eruption periods at large, mature, silicic magma systems like Yellowstone. The greatest short-term hazards posed by continuing unrest in the Yellowstone region are: (1) moderate to large earthquakes (magnitude 5.5–7.5), with a recurrence interval of a few decdes; and (2) small hydrothermal explosions, most of which affect only a small area (<0.01 km2), with a recurrence interval of a few years.  相似文献

A key question in volcanology is the driving mechanisms of resurgence at active, recently active, and ancient calderas. Valles caldera in New Mexico and Lake City caldera in Colorado are well-studied resurgent structures which provide three crucial clues for understanding the resurgence process. (1) Within the limits of 40Ar/39Ar dating techniques, resurgence and hydrothermal alteration at both calderas occurred very quickly after the caldera-forming eruptions (tens of thousands of years or less). (2) Immediately before and during resurgence, dacite magma was intruded and/or erupted into each system; this magma is chemically distinct from rhyolite magma which was resident in each system. (3) At least 1?km of structural uplift occurred along regional and subsidence faults which were closely associated with shallow intrusions or lava domes of dacite magma. These observations demonstrate that resurgence at these two volcanoes is temporally linked to caldera subsidence, with the upward migration of dacite magma as the driver of resurgence. Recharge of dacite magma occurs as a response to loss of lithostatic load during the caldera-forming eruption. Flow of dacite into the shallow magmatic system is facilitated by regional fault systems which provide pathways for magma ascent. Once the dacite enters the system, it is able to heat, remobilize, and mingle with residual crystal-rich rhyolite remaining in the shallow magma chamber. Dacite and remobilized rhyolite rise buoyantly to form laccoliths by lifting the chamber roof and producing surface resurgent uplift. The resurgent deformation caused by magma ascent fractures the chamber roof, increasing its structural permeability and allowing both rhyolite and dacite magmas to intrude and/or erupt together. This sequence of events also promotes the development of magmatic–hydrothermal systems and ore deposits. Injection of dacite magma into the shallow rhyolite magma chamber provides a source of heat and magmatic volatiles, while resurgent deformation and fracturing increase the permeability of the system. These changes allow magmatic volatiles to rise and meteoric fluids to percolate downward, favouring the development of hydrothermal convection cells which are driven by hot magma. The end result is a vigorous hydrothermal system which is driven by magma recharge.  相似文献

In this study, the spatio-temporal evolution of Yellowstone deformation between 1992 and 2009 is monitored using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data acquired by the European Remote-Sensing Satellites (ERS-1 and ERS-2) and the Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT). These data are combined with continuous global positioning system (GPS) measurements to identify four discrete episodes of caldera subsidence and uplift, these episodes are: 1992–1995 (subsidence of 2.7 cm/year), 1996–2000 (subsidence of 0.5 cm/year, with local uplift of 1.7 cm/year at Norris), 2000–2004 (subsidence of 0.7 cm/year, with local uplift of 0.6 cm/year at Norris), and 2004–2009 (uplift of 3–8 cm/year, with local subsidence of 1–4 cm/year at Norris). We construct the full three-dimensional velocity field of Yellowstone deformation for 2005–2006 from ascending and descending ENVISAT orbits. The InSAR three-dimensional velocity field and three-component GPS measurements indicate that the majority of the observed deformation (3–8 cm/year) across the Yellowstone caldera and near Norris Geyser Basin (NGB) occurred in the vertical direction between the summers of 2005 and 2006. During this time, significant lateral displacements of 3–7 cm/year also occurred in the east–west direction at the southeastern and western rims of the Yellowstone caldera and in the area between Hebgen Lake and NGB. Minor north–south displacements of about 0.2 cm/year also occurred, however, in the southwestern section of the caldera and near Yellowstone Lake during the same period. The calculated three-dimensional velocity field for 2005–2006 implies the existence of two pressure-point sources, beneath the two structural resurgent domes in the Yellowstone caldera, connected by a planar conduit, rather than a single, large sill as proposed in previous studies. Furthermore, no measurable displacements occurred along any fault zone across the caldera during the entire period of observation (1992–2009). Therefore, we infer that magmatic and hydrothermal processes beneath the Yellowstone caldera and NGB were the main sources of deformation.  相似文献

Summary (On foci of elastic waves in isotropic homogeneous media) — 1) Multiplets as solutions of the scalar wave equation 2 f/t 2 – c2 div gradf=0 are considered.

As special cases, multiplets with excitation of finite length and multiplets with periodic excitation are considered, furthermore solutions of the equation of motion and of the equations curl = 0 and div = 0 are given. — 6) It is shown how elastic waves whose origin is a region of finite extension in the sense given byStokes, can be approximated by elastic multiplets. — 7) Some indications are given on the problem of how to find the functions of excitation and the energy of an elastic multiplet by measuring components of or etc., at points in the interior of the medium. The same problem is considered in the case of the single elastic pole. = grad 1/p F (t–p/a), if the measurements are made at the surface of an elastic half space.

Résumé On commence par définir le creusement et le comblement d'une fonctionp(, t) du tempst et des points (, ) d'une surface régulière fermée en se donnant, sur cette surface, un vecteur vitesse d'advection ou de transfert tangent à . Le creusement (ou le comblement) est la variation dep sur les particules fictives se déplaçant constamment et partout à la vitesse , A chaque vecteur et pour un mêmep(, ,t) correspond naturellement une fonction creusementC (, ,t) admissible a priori; mais une condition analytique très générale (l'intégrale du creusement sur toute la surface fermée du champ est nulle à chaque instant), à laquelle satisfont les fonctions de perturbation sur les surfaces géopotentielles, permet de restreindre beaucoup la généralité des vecteurs d'advection admissibles a priori et conduit à des vecteurs de la forme: , oùT est un scalaire régulier, () une fonction régulière de la latitude , le vecteur unitaire des verticales ascendantes etR/2 une constante. Ces vecteurs sont donc une généralisation naturelle des vitesses géostrophiques attachées à tout scalaire régulier. Dans le cas oùp(, ,t) est la perturbation de la pression sur la surface du géoïde, le vecteur d'advection par rapport auquel on doit définir le creusement est précisément une vitesse géostrophique: on a alors ()=sin etT un certain champ bien défini de température moyenne.On déduit ensuite une formule générale de géométrie et de cinématique différentielles reliant la vitesse de déplacement d'un centre ou d'un col d'un champp(, ,t) à son champ de creusementC (, ,t) et au vecteur d'advection correspondant. Cette formule peut être transformée et prend la forme d'une relation générale entre le creusement (ou le comblement) d'un centre ou d'un col et la vitesse de son déplacement, sans que le vecteur d'advection intervienne explicitement. On analyse alors les conséquences de ces formules dans les cas suivants: 1o) perturbations circulaires dans le voisinage du centre; 2o) perturbations ayant, dans le voisinage du centre, un axe de symétrie normal ou tangent à la vitesse du centre; 3o) évolution normale des cyclones tropicaux.Finalement, on examine les relations qui existent entre le creusement ou le comblement d'un champ, le vecteur d'advection et la configuration des iso-lignes du champ dans le voisinage d'un centre.Ces considérations permettent d'expliquer plusieurs propriétés bien connues du comportement des perturbations dans différentes régions.
Summary The deepening and filling (development) of a functionp(, ,t) of the timet and the points (, ) of a regular closed surface is first of all defined, in respect to a given advection or transfer velocity field tangent to , as the variation ofp on any fictitious particle moving constantly and everywhere with the velocity . For a givenp(, ,t) and to any there corresponds a well defined development fieldC (, ,t). All theseC fields are a priori admissible, but a very general analytical condition of the perturbation fields in synoptic meteorology (the integral of the development fieldC (, ,t) on any geopotential surface vanishes at any moment), leads to an important restriction to advection vectors of the form: , whereT is any regular scalar, () any regular function of latitude, the unit vector of the ascending verticals andR/2 a constant. These vectors are a natural generalisation of the geostrophic velocities attached to any regular scalar. Whenp(, ,t) is the pressure perturbation at sea level, its development must be defined in respect to a geostrophic advection vector belonging to the above defined class of vectors with ()=sin andT a well defined mean temperature field.A general formula of the differential geometry and kinematics ofp(, ,t) is then derived, giving the velocity of any centre and col of ap(, ,t) as a function of the advection vector and the corresponding development fieldC (, ,t). This formula can be transformed and takes the form of a general relation between the deepening (and filling) of a centre (or a col) of ap(, ,t) and its displament velocity, the advection vector appearing no more explicitly. A detailed analysis of the consequences of these formulae is then given for the following cases: 1o) circular perturbations in the vicinity of a centre; 2o) perturbations having, in the vicinity of a centre, an axis of symmetry normal or tangent to the velocity of the centre; 3o) normal evolution of the tropical cyclones.Finally, the relations between the developmentC (, ,t) of a fieldp(, ,t), the advection velocity vector and the configuration of the iso-lines in the vicinity of a centre are analysed.These theoretical results give a rational explanation of several well known properties of the behaviour of the perturbations in different geographical regions.

A maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the earthquake hazard parameters maximum magnitudeM max, annual activity rate , and theb value of the Gutenberg-Richter equation in the Vrancea (Romania) region. The applied procedure permits the use of mixed catalogs with incomplete historical as well as complete instrumental parts, the consideration of variable detection thresholds, and the incorporation of earthquake magnitude uncertainty.Our imput data, comprises 105 historical earthquakes which occurred between 984 and 1934, and a complete data file containing 1067 earthquakes which occurred during the period 1935–30 August, 1986. The complete part was divided into four subcatalogs according to different thresholds of completeness. Only subcrustal events were considered, and dependent events were removed.The obtained value (=0.65) is at the lower range of the previously reported results, but it appears concurrent with conceptual and observational facts. The same concerns inferred value of max = 7.8 and activity rate 4.0 = 5.34.  相似文献

The Drude law (molecular refraction) for the temperature radiation in a monoatomic model of the Earth's mantle is derived. The considerations are based on the Lorentz electron theory of solids. The characteristic frequency (or eigenfrequency) of independent electron oscillators (in energy units, ) is identified with the band gapE G of a solid. The only assumption is that solid material related to the Earth's mantle has the mean atomic weight A21 g/mole, and its energy gap (E G) is about 9 eV. In this case the value of molecular refraction (in cm3/g) is (n 2–1)/=0.5160.52, where andn are the density and the refractive index at wavelength D=0.5893 m (sodium light), respectively. The average molecular refraction of important silicate and oxide minerals with A21, obtained byAnderson andSchreiber (1965) from laboratory data, is , where denotes the mean arithmetic value calculated from three principal refractive indices of crystal. For the rock-forming minerals with 19A<24 g/mole the new relation was found byAnderson (1975).  相似文献

Geo-scientific planetary research of the last 25 years has revealed the global structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. The evolution of the terrestrial bodies involves a differentiation into heavy metallic cores, Fe-and Mg-rich silicate mantles and light Ca, Al-rich silicate crusts early in the history of the solar system. Magnetic measurements yield a weak dipole field for Mercury, a very weak field (and local anomalies) for the Moon and no measurable field for Venus and mars. Seismic studies of the Moon show a crust-mantle boundary at an average depth of 60 km for the front side, P- and S-wave velocities around 8 respectively 4.5 km s–1 in the mantle and a considerable S-wave attenuation below a depth of 1000 km. Satellite gravity permits the study of lateral density variations in the lithosphere. Additional contributions come from photogeology, orbital particle, x-and -ray measurements, radar and petrology.The cratered surfaces of the smaller bodies Moon and Mercury have been mainly shaped by meteorite impacts followed by a period of volcanic flows into the impact basins until about 3×109 yr before present. Mars in addition shows a more developed surface. Its northern half is dominated by subsidence and younger volcanic flows. It even shows a graben system (rift) in the equatorial region. Large channels and relics of permafrost attest the role of water for the erosional history. Venus, the most developed body except Earth, shows many indications of volcanism, grabens (rifts) and at least at northern latitudes collisional belts, i.e. mountain ranges, suggesting a limited plate tectonic process with a possible shallow subduction.List of Symbols and Abbreviations a=R e mean equatorial radius (km) - A(r, t) heat production by radioactive elements (W m–3) - A, B equatorial moments of inertia - b polar radius (km) - complex amplitude of bathymetry in the wave number (K) domain (m) - C polar moment of inertia - C Fe moment of inertia of metallic core - C Si moment of inertia of silicate mantle - C p heat capacity at constant pressure (JK–1 mole–) - C nm,J nm,S nm harmonic coefficients of degreen and orderm - C/(MR e 2 ) factor of moment of inertia - d distance (km) - d nondimensional radius of disc load of elastic bending model - D diameter of crater (km) - D flexural rigidity (dyn cm) - E Young modulus (dyn cm–2) - E maximum strain energy - E energy loss during time interval t - f frequency (Hz) - f flattening - F magnetic field strength (Oe) (1 Oe=79.58A m–1) - g acceleration or gravity (cms–2) or (mGal) (1mGal=10–3cms–2) - mean acceleration - g e equatorial surface gravity - complex amplitude of gravity anomaly in the wave number (K) domain - g free air gravity anomaly (FAA) - g Bouguer gravity anomaly - g t gravity attraction of the topography - G gravitational constant,G=6.67×10–11 m3kg–1s–2 - GM planetocentric gravitational constant - h relation of centrifugal acceleration (2 R e ) to surface acceleration (g e ) at the equator - J magnetic flux density (magnetic field) (T) (1T=109 nT=109 =104G (Gauss)) - J 2 oblateness - J nm seeC nm - k (0) (zero) pressure bulk modulus (Pa) (Pascal, 1 Pa=1 Nm–2) - K wave number (km–1) - K * thermal conductivity (Jm–1s–1K–1) - L thickness of elastic lithosphere (km) - M mas of planet (kg) - M Fe mass of metallic core - M Si mass of silicate mantle - M(r) fractional mass of planet with fractional radiusr - m magnetic dipole moment (Am2) (1Am2=103Gcm3) - m b body wave magnitude - N crater frequency (km–2) - N(D) cumulative number of cumulative frequency of craters with diameters D - P pressure (Pa) (1Pa=1Nm–2=10–5 bar) - P z vertical (lithostatic) stress, see also z (Pa) - P n m (cos) Legendre polynomial - q surface load (dyn cm–2) - Q seismic quality factor, 2E/E - Q s ,Q p seismic quality factor derived from seismic S-and P-waves - R=R 0 mean radius of the planet (km) (2a+b)/3 - R e =a mean equatorial radius of the planet - r distance from the center of the planet (fractional radius) - r Fe radius of metallic core - S nm seeC nm - t time and age in a (years), d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), s (seconds) - T mean crustal thickness from Airy isostatic gravity models (km) - T temperature (°C or K) (0°C=273.15K) - T m solidus temperature - T sideral period of rotation in d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), s (seconds), =2/T - U external potential field of gravity of a planet - V volume of planet - V p ,V s compressional (P), shear (S) wave velocity, respectively (kms–1) - w deflection of lithosphere from elastic bending models (km) - z, Z depth (km) - z (K) admittance function (mGal m–1) - thermal expansion (°C–1) - viscosity (poise) (1 poise=1gcm–1s–1) - co-latitude (90°-) - longitude - Poisson ratio - density (g cm–3) - mean density - 0 zero pressure density - m , Si average density of silicate mantle (fluid interior) - average density of metallic core - t , top density of the topography - density difference between crustal and mantle material - electrical conductivity (–1 m–1) - r , radial and azimuthal surface stress of axisymmetric load (Pa) - z vertical (lithostatic) stress (seeP z ) - II second invariant of stress deviation tensor - latitude - angular velocity of a planet (=2/T) - ages in years (a), generally 0 years is present - B.P. before present - FAA Free Air Gravity Anomaly (see g - HFT High Frequency Teleseismic event - LTP Lunar Transient Phenomenon - LOS Line-Of-Sight - NRM Natural Remanent Magnetization Contribution No. 309, Institut für Geophysik der Universität, Kiel, F.R.G.  相似文献

A series of large hydrothermal eruptions occurred across the Waiotapu geothermal field at about the same (prehistoric) time as the ~AD1315 Kaharoa rhyolite magmatic eruptions from Tarawera volcano vents, 10–20 km distant. Triggering of the Waiotapu hydrothermal eruptions was previously attributed to displacement of the adjacent Ngapouri Fault. The Kaharoa rhyolite eruptions are now recognised as primed and triggered by multiple basalt intrusions beneath the Tarawera volcano. A ~1000 t/day pulse of CO2 gas is recorded by alteration mineralogy and fluid inclusions in drill core samples from Waiotapu geothermal wells. This CO2 pulse is most readily sourced from basalt intruded at depth, and although not precisely dated, it appears to be associated with the Waiotapu hydrothermal eruptions. We infer that the hydrothermal eruptions at Waiotapu were primed by intrusion of the same arrested basalt dike system that drove the rhyolite eruptions at Tarawera. This dike system was likely similar at depth to the dike that generated basalt eruptions from a 17 km-long fissure that formed across the Tarawera region in AD1886. Fault ruptures that occurred in the Waiotapu area in association with both the AD1886 and ~AD1315 eruptions are considered to be a result, rather than a cause, of the dike intrusion processes.Editorial responsibility: J.

Zusammenfassung Für ein Beobachtungsbeispiel (Stromgeschwindigkeit, Dichte) aus der Kieler Bucht wird eine Deutung ausgeprägter Maxima der zugehörigen Spektren zwischen 0,3 und 60 Minuten durch interne Wellen gegeben. Mit einer beobachteten Periode von zwei Minuten durchgeführte Rechnungen ergeben eine starke Abhängigkeit der Wellenlänge von der mittleren Strömung . Im Falle erhält man bei 23,5 m Wassertiefe eine Wellenlänge von etwa 70 m, im Falle von etwa 85 m. Die berechneten Schwingungen stellen uneigentliche interne Wellen dar (W. Krauß [1966]). Die Interpretation durch eine Grenzflächenwelle führt auf eine Wellenlänge von 86 m, die nur geringfügig von denen der internen Wellen 1. Ordnung in stetig sich ändernder Strömung abweicht.In einer theoretischen Untersuchung werden kleinräumige Anfangsstörungen (z. B. momentane Druckänderungen an der Meeresoberfläche) als mögliche Ursache für die Entstehung kurzperiodischer interner Wellen erkannt. Es zeigt sich, daß kurzzeitig wirksame Anfangsbeschleunigungen in ihrem Einwirkungsbereich stehende, allmählich abklingende interne Wellen erzeugen, während in der Umgebung gleichzeitig fortschreitende Wellen entstehen, deren Amplituden mit wachsender Entfernung vom Erregungsgebiet abnehmen. Die Perioden der Schwingungen haben größere Werte als die zu einer exponentiellen Schichtung gehörige Väisäläperiode und verändern sich in Abhängigkeit von der Größe des Anregungsgebietes wie die zellularer Stabilitätsschwingungen.
The powerspectrum of internal motions in the western baltic between the periods 0.3 and 60 minutes. Part 1: Interpretation of the wavelike component of the internal unrest in the sea
Summary The powerspectra of the internal unrest in the sea show marked peaks in the range of periods between 0.3 and 60 minutes. An interpretation of these phenomena is given in terms of internal waves for a specific example obtained from short periodic current and density variations in the Kieler Bucht. The numerical calculations for an observed period of two minutes show an important influence of the vertical distribution of the current on the wavelength. In the case of the wavelength amounts to about 70 m, where as in the case of the length is about 85 m, assuming a depth of the sea of 23.5 m. The computed oscillations represent improper internal waves (W. Krauß [1966]). Interpretation by internal boundary waves yields a wavelength of 86 m, which is slightly different only from those of the first mode of internal waves in the case of continuously varying .By a theoretical investigation it is shown that short periodic internal waves may be caused by local initial perturbations (for instance by sudden variations of pressure at the surface). The solution of the problem describes slowly decreasing standing internal waves, which are generated within the area upon which short-dated initial accelerations have acted. At the same time a train of progressive waves is developed in the environment travelling away from the centre of the excitation. The amplitudes of these waves diminish with increasing distance from the origin. The periods of the computed oscillations yield higher values than the Väisäläperiod belonging to an exponential stratification. The variability in these periods is caused by variations in depth, by variations in stability, and by changes in the horizontal dimensions of the area of initial perturbation. This dependence is similar to that of cellular oscillations of stability.
Spectre des oscillations internes de la mer Baltique Ouest pour des périodes comprises entre 0,3 et 60 minutes. 1ère Partie: Interprétation des éléments ondulatoires de mouvement
Résumé Pour un cas d'observation (vitesse de courant, densité) en baie de Kiel, des maximums bien marqués des spectres correspondants entre 0,3 et 60 minutes s'expliquent par des ondes internes. Des calculs effectués avec une période de deux minutes montrent que la longueur d'onde dépend beaucoup du courant moyen, . Pour , par 23,5 m de profondeur, on obtient une longueur d'onde environ 70 m; pour , une longueur d'environ 85 m. Les oscillations calculées représentent des ondes internes qui ne sont pas des ondes propres. L'interprétation par une onde de surface limite conduit à une longueur d'onde de 86 m très peu différente de celles des ondes internes du premier ordre dans un courant constamment variable.Une étude théorique montre que des perturbations initiales peu étendues (par exemple variations momentanées de la pression à la surface de la mer) peuvent être à l'origine d'ondes internes à courte période. Il apparaît que des accélérations initiales, agissant brièvement, font naître dans leur zone d'action des ondes internes stationnaires qui s'amortissent peu à peu, tandis qu'en même temps aux alentours se produisent des ondes progressives dont l'amplitude décroît à mesure qu'elles s'éloignent de la région où elles ont pris naissance. Les périodes des oscillations ont des valeurs plus grandes que celle de la période de Väisälä rapportée à une stratification exponentielle, et elles varient suivant la grandeur de la zone où elles ont pris naissance comme les oscillations de stabilité cellulaire.

Geochemical studies on cold meteoric waters, post-1980 hot spring waters, fumarole emissions from the dacite dome, and volcanic rocks at Mount St. Helens (MSH) from 1985 to 1989 show that magmatic volatiles are involved in the formation of a new hydrothermal system. Hot spring waters are enriched in 18O by as much as 2 and display enrichments in D relative to cold waters. A well-defined isotopic trend is displayed by the isotopic composition of a>400°C fumarole condensate collected from the central crater in 1980 (-33 D, +6 18O), of condensate samples collected on the dome, and of cold meteoric and hot spring waters. The trend indicates that mixing occurs between local meteoric water and magmatic water degassing from the dacite dome. Between 30 and 70% magmatic water is present in the dome fumarole discharges and 10% magnatic water has been added to the waters of the hydrothermal system. Relations between Cl, SO4 and HCO3 indicate that the hot spring waters are immature volcanic waters formed by reaction of rocks with waters generated by absorption of acidic volcanic fluids. In addition, the B/Cl ratios of the spring waters are similar to the B/Cl ratios of the fumarole condensates (0.02), values of 13C in the HCO3 of the hot springs (-9.5 to-13.5) are similar to the magmatic value at MSH (-10.5), and the 3He/4He ratio, relative to air, in a hot spring water is 5.7, suggesting a magmatic origin for this component.managed by Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., under contract DE-AC05-84OR21400 with the US Department of Energy  相似文献

This paper presents chemical and isotopic data for thermal waters, gases and S deposits from Volcan Puracé (summit elevation 4600 m) in SW Colombia. Hot gas discharges from fumaroles in and around the summit crater, and thermal waters discharge from three areas on its flanks. The waters from all areas have D values of-75±1, indicating a single recharge area at high elevation on the volcano. Aircorrected values of3He/4He in thermal waters range from 3.8 to 6.7 RA, and approach those for crater fumarole gas (6.1–7.1 RA), indicating widespread addition of magmatic volatiles. An economic S deposit (El Vinagre) is being mined in the Rio Vinagre fault zone at 3600 m elevation. Sulfur isotopic data are consistent with a magmatic origin for S species in thermal waters and gases, and for the S ore deposit. Isotopic equilibration between S species may have occurred at 220±40°C, which overlaps possible equilibration temperatures (170±40°C) determined by a variety of other geothermometers for neutral thermal waters. Apparent CH4–CO2 equilibration temperatures for gases from thermal springs (400±50°C) and crater fumaroles (520±60°C) reflect higher temperatures deeper in the system. Hot magmatic gas ascending through the Rio Vinagre fault zone is though to have precipitated S and generated thermal waters by interaction with descending meteoric waters.  相似文献

Summary The mechanism of beating of Pc3 type pulsations is studied. Using the method of numerical computation of a sonagram (the method of frequency-time analysis) a set of samples of pulsations from the Budkov Observatory is treated (1968–1969) mostly at K-indices equal to 2–3. By comparing f–t diagrams with the spectra of the samples an attempt has been made at interpreting the beating as a superposition of the frequency components, contained in the pulsation signal. In most observed cases it is possible to determine two close frequencies, the difference of which is on the average =5.4 mHz. The average carrier frequency of the samples was =37.6 mHz, and the average frequency of the beating =2.7 mHz. The interval of observed values of fB amounted to 1–5 mHz. A tendency was observed for fB to increase with increasing degree of disturbance of the geomagnetic field.  相似文献

Summary Characteristics of the piezo-remanent magnetization (PRM) of lunar rocks are particularly interesting in comparison with the PRM of terrestrial rocks, because ferromagnetic constituents in lunar materials are metallic iron grains whose average magnetostriction coefficient is negative. Experimentally observed characteristics of the PRM of lunar rocks are substantially the same as those of the PRM of terrestrial rocks and magnetites, in which is positive. These experimental results indicate that the acquisition mechanism of PRM is due to a non-linear superposition of the magnetoelastic pressure upon the magnetostatic pressure on both sides of the 90° domain walls in ferromagnetic particles, as suggested by Nagata and Carleton.
Zusammenfassung Die Eigenschaften der piezo-remanenten Magnetisierung (PRM) der Mondgesteine sind besonders interessant im Vergleich mit der PRM der Erdgesteine, weil die ferromagnetischen Bestandteile der Mondmaterien die metallischen Eisenkörnchen sind, derer durchschnittliche Magnetostriktion-Koeffizient negativ ist. Die experimentelle gemessenen Eigenschaften von PRM der Mondgesteine sind wesentlich dieselbe der Erdgesteine und Magnetite, derer positive ist. Solche experimentaren Ergebnisse zeigen an, dass die Erwerbung von PRM durch eine nonlineare Übereinanderwirkung des magnetoelastischen Druckes und des magnetostatischen Druckes gegen die beiden Seiten der 90° Gebietwände der ferromagnetischen Teilchen ist, wie Nagata und Carleton vorgeschlagen haben.

Summary Mean directions of magnetization (29 normal and 31 reversed) were recorded for 60 magmatic localities of middle Miocene age from the Börzsöny Mountains (Hungary). The overall mean direction of RM, irrespective of polarity, isD=0,9°;I=59,8°; withk=8,3 and 95=6,8°. The coordinates of the corresponding geomagnetic north pole are =82,7°, A=193,8 with p=7,7° and m=10,2°.  相似文献

Fluid infiltration into fault zones and their deeper-level counterparts, brittle-ductile shear zones, is examined in diverse tectonic environments. In the 2.7 Ga Abitibi greenstone belt, major tectonic discontinuities, with lateral extents of hundreds of kilometres initiated as listric normal faults accommodating rift extension and acted as sites for komatiite extrusion and locally intense metasomatism. During reverse motion on the structures, accommodating shortening of the belt, these transcrustal faults were utilised as a conduit for the ascent of trondhjemitic magmas from the base of the crust and of alkaline magmas from the asthenosphere and for the discharge of thousands of cubic kilometres of hydrothermal fluids. Such fluids were characterised by 18O=+6±2, D=–50±20, 13C=–4±4, and temperatures of 270 to 450°C, probably derived from devolatilisation of crustal rocks undergoing prograde metamorphism. Hydrothermal fluids were more radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr=0.7010 to 0.7040) and possessed higher than did contemporaneous mantle, komatiites or tholeiites, and thus carried a contribution from older sialic basement. A provinciality of87Sr/86Sr and 13C is evident, signifying that fault plumbing sampled lower crust which was heterogeneous at the scale of tens of kilometres. Mineralised faults possess enrichments of large ion lithophile (LIL), LIL elements, including K, Rb, Ba, Cs, B, and CO2, and rare elements, such as Au, Ag, As, Sb, Se, Te, Bi, and W. Fluids were characterised by XCO 20.1, neutral to slightly acidic pH, low salinity 3 wt-%, K/Na=0.1, they carried minor CH4, CO, and N2, and they underwent transient effervescence of CO2 during decompression. Clastic sediments occupy graben developed at fault flexures. The40Ar/39Ar release spectra indicate that fault rocks experienced episodic disturbance on time scales of hundreds of millions of years.At the Grenville front, translation was accommodated along two mylonite zones and an intervening boundary fault. The high-temperature (580°C) and low-temperature (430 to 490°C) mylonite zones, formed in the presence of deep-level crust-equilibrated fluids of metamorphic origin. Late brittle faults contain quartz veins precipitated from fluids with extemely negative 18O (–14 per mil) at 200 to 300°C. The water may have been derived from downward penetration into fault zones of precipitation of low18O on a mountain range induced by continental collision, with uplift accommodated at deep levels by the mylonite zones coupled with rebound on the boundary faults.Archean gneisses overlie Proterozoic sediments along thrust surfaces at Lagoa Real, Brazil; the gneisses are transected by brittle-ductile shear zones locally occupied by uranium deposits. Following deformation at 500 to 540°C, in the presence of metamorphic fluids and under conditions of low water-to-rock ratio, shear zones underwent local intense oxidation and desilication. All minerals undergo a shift of –10 per mil, indicating discharge of meteoric-water-recharged formation brines in the underlying Proterozoic sediments up through the Archean gneisses, during overthrusting; 1000 km3 of solutions passed through these structures. The shear zones and Proterozoic sediments are less radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr=0.720) than contemporaneous Archean gneisses (0.900), corroborating the transport of fluids and solutes through the structure from a large external reservoir.Major crustal detachment faults of Tertiary age in the Picacho Cordilleran metamorphic core complex of Arizona show an upward transition from undeformed granitic basement through mylonitic to brecciated and hydrothermally altered counterparts. The highest tectonic levels are allochthonous, oxidatively altered Miocene volcanics. This transition is accompanied by an increase of 12 per mil in 18O, from +7 to +19, and a 400°C decrease in temperature. Lower tectonic levels acted as aquifers for the expulsion of large volumes of higher-temperature reduced metamorphic fluids and/or evolved formation brines. The Miocene allochthon was influenced by a lower-temperature reservoir inducing oxidative potassic alteration; mixing occurred between cool downward-penetrating thermal waters and the hot, deeper aqueous reservoir.In general, flow regimes in these fault and shear zones follow a sequence, from conditions of high temperature and pressure with locally derived fluids at low water-to-rock ratios, during initiation of the structures, to high fluxes of reduced formation or metamorphic fluids along conduits as the structures propagate and intersect hydrothermal reservoirs. Later in the tectonic evolution and at shallower crustal levels there was incursion of oxidising fluids from near-surface reservoirs into the faults. In general, magmatism, tectonics, and fluid motion are intimately related.  相似文献

Previously unrecognized pulses of rhyolite volcanism occurred in the Salton Trough between 420 ± 8 ka and 479 ± 38 ka (2σ), based on high-spatial resolution U–Pb zircon geochronology. Presently, these rhyolite lavas, tuffs and shallow subvolcanic sills are buried to depths between ~ 1.6 and 2.7 km at ambient temperatures between 200 and 300 °C, and are overprinted by propylitic to potassic hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblages consisting of finely intergrown quartz, K-feldspar, chlorite, epidote, and minor pyrite. Alteration resistant geochemical indicators (whole-rock Nd-isotopes, zircon oxygen-isotopes) reveal that these rhyolites are derived from remelting of MORB-type crust that was chilled and hydrothermally altered by deep-circulating hydrothermal waters. U–Pb zircon dating confirms the presence of Bishop Tuff in well State 2-14 at ~ 1.7 km depth, approximately 5 km NE of the geothermal wells that penetrated the buried rhyolites. These results indicate accelerated subsidence towards the center of the Salton Trough, increasing from 2.2 mm/a to 3.8 mm/a. Based on these results, the present-day Salton Sea geothermal field is identified as a focus zone of episodic rhyolitic volcanism, intense heat flow and metamorphism that predates present-day geothermal activity and Holocene volcanism by at least ~ 400 ka.  相似文献

Volcán Alcedo is one of the seven western Galápagos shields and is the only active Galápagos volcano known to have erupted rhyolite as well as basalt. The volcano stands 4 km above the sea floor and has a subaerial volume of 200 km3, nearly all of which is basalt. As Volcán Alcedo grew, it built an elongate domal shield, which was partly truncated during repeated caldera-collapse and partial-filling episodes. An outward-dipping sequence of basalt flows at least 250 m thick forms the steepest (to 33°) flanks of the volcano and is not tilted; thus a constructional origin for the steep upper flanks is favored. About 1 km3 of rhyolite erupted late in the volcano's history from at least three vents and in 2–5 episodes. The most explosive of these produced a tephra blanket that covers the eastern half of the volcano. Homogeneous rhyolitic pumice is overlain by dacite-rhyolite commingled pumice, with no stratigraphic break. The tephra is notable for its low density and coarse grain size. The calculated height of the eruption plume is 23–30 km, and the intensity is estimated to have been 1.2x108 kg/s. Rhyolitic lavas vented from the floor of the caldera and from fissures along the rim overlie the tephra of the plinian phase. The age of the rhyolitic eruptions is 120 ka, on the basis of K-Ar ages. Between ten and 20 basaltic lava flows are younger than the rhyolites. Recent faulting resulted in a moat around part of the caldera floor. Alcedo most resently erupted sometime between 1946 and 1960 from its southern flank. Alcedo maintains an active, transient hydrothermal system. Acoustic and seismic activity in 1991 is attributed to the disruption of the hydrothermal system by a regional-scale earthquake.  相似文献
