热液区沉积物接受了大量热液物质的输入,其矿物组成及地球化学空间分布特征是多金属硫化物勘探的有效指标。由于重力作用,洋中脊区域沉积物主要分布于低洼和平坦地形区。为了探索地形因素对热液区沉积物分布的影响规律,本文通过ArcGIS提出了一种基于地形数据的海底热液区沉积物分布趋势预测方法,并对西南印度洋中脊龙角区地形数据进行了分析,包括沉积物重力搬运方向提取、沉积物汇集量估算、海底沟谷提取和沉积物源区划分。通过与研究区底质解译结果进行对比验证发现,预测结果与研究区内沉积物的实际分布范围较为吻合,表明本方法在一定程度上可以有效地指示地形影响下海底热液区沉积物的分布情况。本方法对海底硫化物矿产勘探工作具有一定指导意义,可为海底沉积物取样站位设置与海底硫化物成矿远景区圈定提供参考依据。 相似文献

在海底多金属硫化物调查过程中，对于已知热液区需要精细地质填图工作，而这种填图往往存在覆盖面积较小、所包含的地质要素较少以及与区域构造作用和岩浆活动联系不足等问题。基于历年大洋航次在西南印度洋中脊#26洋脊段（51°E区域）所获得的深海光学拖曳系统的资料，结合高精度多波束水深数据，提出一种系统的底质热液异常划分原则，识别出热液蚀变岩石或角砾、疑似热液沉积物、热液生物及其遗骸富集和胶结碳酸盐4种底质热液异常类型。高分辨率海底地质填图结果表明，本区存在4处热液活动的异常区。#26洋脊段热液活动频率值为2～10，至少是全球海底热液活动频率经验公式的1.8倍以上。我们认为在超慢速扩张脊局部熔融异常或者发育非转换不连续带的洋脊段，可能存在更多的海底热液活动，也具有形成大型多金属硫化物矿床的潜力。 相似文献

现代海底热液块状硫化物矿床的资源潜力评价 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
现代海底热液活动及其资源效应是近30年来地球科学中的重要研究方向。调查研究表明,有200多个现代海底热液块状硫化物矿床分布于现代海底的各种构造环境中,其中以洋中脊和弧后环境居多,这些矿床中有40多个还具有较大的规模和储量,其中的10个在目前阶段是可以进行勘探和开采利用的。由于巨大的资源潜力,一些国际著名的矿业公司开始关注并投资于现代海底热液块状硫化物矿床的商业性勘探与开发,并希望在5年内获得商业性效益。而在我国,对于海底热液硫化物矿床的调查与研究才刚刚起步。在收集和整理世界各国调查研究资料的基础上,总结分析了现代海底热液硫化物矿床的产出特征、矿物和元素组成等,分析了海底热液硫化物矿床的资源潜力,并对我国的调查与勘探工作提出了展望。 相似文献

基于2011年大洋一号第22次环球考察在东太平洋热液活动区采集的5个站位的77个悬浮体样品,利用扫描电镜与能谱分析相结合的方法,对悬浮颗粒硫化物颗粒的矿物形貌和物相、矿物组合特征以及空间分布进行了系统的研究,探讨了悬浮颗粒矿物组成对海底热液活动的指示作用。研究区出现了闪锌矿、纤锌矿、黄铁矿、白铁矿、磁黄铁矿、黄铜矿、方黄铜矿、铜蓝以及单质硫等多种硫化物颗粒,主要的硫化物矿物包括黄铁矿—闪锌矿—黄铜矿—磁黄铁矿,据此推断该区海底热液属于典型的高温热液流体,其温度在350℃以上。研究区不同站位间悬浮体丰度和保存程度差异明显,这与距离热液活动点远近有着较好的关系。 相似文献

为了解不同类型含金属沉积物在物质组成和元素赋存状态的差异,对东太平洋海隆13°N洋中脊两侧表层含金属沉积物(站号:E271和E53)进行了矿物学、地球化学分析,顺序提取实验,并与前人对轴部表层沉积物(站号:17A-EPR-TVG1)的研究结果作了对比分析。研究结果表明, E271和E53是远端含金属沉积物,由非浮力热液羽状流中颗粒物沉降所形成的;17A-EPR-TVG1沉积物是近喷口含金属沉积物,由黑烟囱或者热液硫化物丘状体崩塌、堆积,或者由热液羽状流中Fe-Mn氧化物和硫化物快速沉淀而形成的,近喷口沉积物比远端沉积物更富集Fe、Cu和Zn等元素。元素在两种含金属沉积物中的赋存状态基本相同,除了Fe,Cu,Zn,Mo和稀土元素(REE)等元素在远端沉积物中主要存在于Fe-Mn氧化物相,在近喷口沉积物中主要在残留相中。远端沉积物中REE页岩标准化配分模式与海水相似,表明REE主要来自海水,而近喷口沉积物中REE配分模式与热液流体相似,说明REE以高温热液流体来源为主。相关研究结果加深了对热液沉积作用研究的认识。 相似文献

Based on the mineralogy and composition of sediment cores from three locations along the East Pacific Rise, sediments from 12°58’ N are shown to contain about 34% metalliferous sediment (on a carbonate‐ and salt‐free basis) whereas those from 23°50’ S and 27°24’ S each contain about 73% metalliferous sediment. The latter two cores are situated near the West Rift of the Easter Microplate. The metalliferous contents of the sediments at 23°50’ S and 27°24’ S are among the highest recorded on the East Pacific Rise. The distribution of elements with depth in these cores indicates that the hydrothermal activity has lasted more than 100,000 years. These data suggest that the West Rift of the Easter Microplate is a highly prospective site for submarine hydrothermal minerals. This is in accord with the high rate of ocean spreading (15–16 cm/yr) and the complex processes of plate extension and rotation there. 相似文献

A 43 cm long E271 sediment core collected near the East Pacific Rise(EPR) at 13°N were studied to investigate the origin of smectite for understanding better the geochemical behavior of hydrothermal material after deposition.E271 sediments are typical metalliferous sediments. After removal of organic matter, carbonate, biogenic opal,and Fe-Mn oxide by a series of chemical procedures, clay minerals(2 μm) were investigated by X-ray diffraction,chemical analysis and Si isotope analysis. Due to the influence of seafloor hydrothermal activity and close to continent, the sources of clay minerals are complex. Illite, chlorite and kaolinite are suggested to be transported from either North or Central America by rivers or winds, but smectite is authigenic. It is enriched in iron, and its contents are highest in clay minerals. Data show that smectite is most likely formed by the reaction of hydrothermal Fe-oxyhydroxide with silica and seawater in metalliferous sediments. The Si that participates in this reaction may be derived from siliceous microfossils(diatoms or radiolarians), hydrothermal fluids, or detrital mineral phases. And their δ30 Si values are higher than those of authigenic smectites, which implies that a Si isotope fractionation occurs during the formation because of the selective absorption of light Si isotopes onto Feoxyhydroxides. Sm/Fe mass ratios(a proxy for overall REE/Fe ratio) in E271 clay minerals are lower than those in metalliferous sediments, as well as distal hydrothermal plume particles and terrigenous clay minerals. This result suggests that some REE are lost during the smectite formation, perhaps because their large ionic radii of REE scavenged by Fe-oxyhydroxides preclude substitution in either tetrahedral or octahedral lattice sites of this mineral structure, which decreases the value of metalliferous sediments as a potential resource for REE. 相似文献

Metalliferous and pelagic sediments are exposed within and above the extrusive successions of the Upper Cretaceous Oman ophiolite which, on the basis of mostly geochemical evidence, is believed to have formed in an incipient marginal basin setting located above a NE-dipping subduction zone. The ophiolitic extrusives document various volcano-tectonic settings which include the axial zones of a spreading ridge, fault-controlled seamounts and off-axis volcanic edifices. Most of the Fe, Mn and trace metal-enriched sediments studied are interpreted as precipitates formed by oxidation of solutions derived from high-temperature sulphide-precipitating vents. The trace element content (e.g. REE and Sr) was largely scavenged from seawater. The sediments are similar to the dispersed metalliferous sediments on the flanks of modern spreading ridges, and the ‘basal’ sediments of DSDP wells and of other ophiolite complexes (e.g. Troodos, Cyprus).Distinctive mound structures located low in the lavas are attributed to percolation of sulphide-rich solutions into already deposited metalliferous oxide sediments. The resulting iron-silica rock was probably originally precipitated as ferruginous silicates.Major massive sulphides formed off-axis at the base of intermediate-basic edifices of volcanic arc affinities. Fe, Mn and trace metal enrichment in the sediment cover of a flat-topped seamount of axial lavas is interpreted as a dispersion halo around the largest massive sulphide orebody which is situated 5 km away (Lasail). Small massive sulphide bodies are common in the axial lavas particularly along major seafloor fault zones. The metalliferous sediments, locally precipitated near these vents, are ferromanganiferous, but trace metal-depleted.The metalliferous and pelagic sediment cover of the extrusive successions, generally, documents waning hydrothermal input after volcanism ended in the area.A model is discussed in which the ophiolite was created at a spreading axis above a subduction zone dipping away from the Arabian continental margin. With progressive subduction this crust approached the margin. Initially, calcareous sediment accumulated above the calcite compensation depth (CCD), but then non-calcareous radiolarites were deposited as the ophiolitic crust approached the continental margin where the CCD was higher and marginal upwelling possibly enhanced productivity. As the edge of the Arabian continental margin entered the trench, the over-riding ophiolite was regionally uplifted allowing short-lived chalk accumulation above the CCD. This was followed by volcaniclastic deposition related to the tectonic emplacement. 相似文献

Some geochemical indicators for discrimination between diagenetic and hydrothermal metalliferous sediments 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Two types of metalliferous sediments are known: hydrothermal (associated with tectonic faults) and diagenetic (enriched in precipitates from seawater). They are similar in their appearance and chemical composition.Only the first type is an indicator for hydrothermal discharge. Therefore, in exploration criteria for differentiating between the two are needed. Four possible indicators have been investigated and are discussed: (a) differences in P/Y correlation; (b) differences in Cr/Zr correlation; (c) different distribution patterns of REE; and (d) different As contents.The As content is easy to determine and seems to be (at the present time) the most suitable criterion for determining the genesis of the metalliferous sediments. 相似文献

The oceanic anoxic events (OAE) intermittently occurring in the Earth’s Phanerozoic history left fingerprints in the geological record in the form of carbonaceous metalliferous sediments. The analysis of the available data on the S, Mo, Sr, Os, and Nd isotope compositions reveals that the role the volcanic factor was multiply higher during the accumulation of these sediments. The sediments maximally enriched in planktonogenic organic matter (up to 5% on average and up to 30% in separate layers) are widespread on continental margins and in adjacent onshore areas. On active margins, they are largely confined to the back parts of marginal seas, where they are characterized by lower organic matter concentrations (averaging approximately 2.5% and up to 10% in separated beds). The deposition of carbonaceous metalliferous sediments in the Phanerozoic associates with 16 oceanic anoxic events, which happened in different geodynamic settings with intensified ophiolitic, island-arc, and trappe volcanism. The underwater lava eruptions and hydrothermal solution discharges served as a triggering mechanism for the chemical, biological, sedimentological, and climatic processes that stimulated the development of anoxic environments in the ocean and the deposition of carbonaceous metalliferous sediments. 相似文献

Seven sediment cores from the Palaea and Nea Kameni hydrothermal embayments (PK and NK) on Santorini have been studied by using sediment smear slides, X-ray diffraction, and radiocarbon techniques to determine their lithology, mineralogy, and age, respectively. The cores have been analyzed chemically for a suite of elements, including selective chemical leaching, to determine the partition of elements between coexisting phases. Lithologically and chemically, the sediments from the two embayments are very different. Sediments from PK are oxidized in the upper parts of the cores and reduced at depth; they comprise mainly hydrothermal pyritiferous diatomaceous ooze with minor Fe oxyhydroxide, volcanic debris, gypsum, and siderite. Sediments from NK are oxidized throughout and comprise predominantly amorphous iron oxyhydroxides and goethite; they are thought to have formed by direct precipitation from solution. In PK, biogenic, detrital seawater evaporate, and hydrothermal sediment phases have been identified but only the detrital inputs can be correlated between cores. Mn shows a pronounced enrichment towards the outer part of the embayment because of its dispersion down the embayment and precipitation in the more-oxidizing sediments towards the open sea. In NK, the sediments contain detrital, seawater evaporate, and hydrothermally precipitated and scavenged phases. The presence of substantial amounts of organic matter in the PK sediments but not in the NK sediments is probably the main reason why geochemical processes in the two embayments are different. Age dates obtained from the cores by using the 14 C technique indicate that sedimentation in the PK embayment commenced at approximately 50 AD, whereas in the NK embayment it commenced at approximately 1900 AD, which is consistent with the known history of Santorini. Based on these dates, calculated metal accumulation rates in both embayments are higher than in any other dated hydrothermal metalliferous sediments with the exception of those in the Atlantis II Deep of the Red Sea. Sediment ponding in the embayments is the principal cause of these results. 相似文献

Considerable metal enrichments have been found in hydrothermal fluids and metalliferous sediments off the central Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc. The elements variably enriched in the fluids as a result of the hydrothermal activity are Fe, Mn, As, Si, B, Li and in the sediments, Fe, P, Mo, As, Sb, Hg, Cu and Pb. Variations in the concentrations of these elements in both fluids and sediments along the arc result from a number of factors, the most important of which is the stage that each island's volcano has reached in its eruptive cycle. Although hydrothermal mineralization on the sea floor off the islands is only low grade, phase separation in the hydrothermal fluids at depth could be leading to higher grade stockwork mineralization below the vent fields or the discharge of metal rich brines on the lower flanks of the volcanic islands. 相似文献

Chemical extraction techniques show that the majority of the arsenic in North Atlantic deep-sea sediments is associated with an iron phase compositionally similar to that found in deep-sea ferromanganese nodules (As/Fe ～ 11 · 10?4) and is probably of seawater origin. Some sediments also contain As associated with Fe oxides produced by continental weathering. A minority (～8%) of the arsenic is of detrital origin but is not associated with Fe or Mn oxides; it has a content (1.7 ppm) similar to the average crustal abundance. In the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, near-shore sediments contain As associated with land-derived Fe oxides (As/Fe ～ 2 · 10?4), but As/Fe ratios increase to ～ 13 · 10?4 in deep-sea sediments as the contribution of seawater derived arsenic becomes dominant. Arsenic is enriched in metalliferous sediments (As/Fe ～ 20?50 · 10?4) but As/P ratios of metalliferous sediments, deep-sea ferromanganese nodules and deep-ocean water are all similar. Although a hydrothermal contribution cannot be discounted, it is likely that the arsenic is also of seawater origin, suggesting that hydrothermal iron oxyhydroxides remove As more efficiently from seawater than do iron phases (goethite) in deep-sea sediments and nodules. Arsenic accumulates in deep-sea sediments (～ 6 μg cm?2 10?3 yr?1) at sediments (～ 120 μg cm?2 10?3 yr?1) at rate sufficient to balance river input input (～3 · 1010 g yr?1). These estimates give an oceanic residence time for arsenic of 1–2 · 105 yr. 相似文献
