北祁连东段天水-宝鸡地区早古生代火山岩包括红土堡基性熔岩和陈家河中酸性火山岩。地球化学分析结果表明,红土堡基性熔岩和陈家河中酸性火山岩中所夹基性火山岩的特征相似,属于拉斑玄武岩,两者TiO2含量较高(1.50%~2.73%),∑REE分别为65.97×10-6~133.46×10-6和78.04×10-6~175.55×10-6,LREE轻度富集[(La/Yb)N分别为2.00~4.40和2.71~4.40],Eu异常不明显或略具Eu负异常(δEu分别为0.85~1.10和0.85~0.99);两者LILE明显富集,HFSE(尤其是Ta、Nb)强烈亏损,Nb/La较低(0.28~0.43),显示出与岛弧拉斑玄武岩(IAT)的亲源性;同时,基性熔岩的εNd(t)均为正值( 2.22~ 4.08),暗示其源区类似亏损地幔源区,Zr/Nb=17.21~36.33,Ce/Nb=5.73~8.17,又具有N-MORB的地球化学特征;两者的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素组成十分相似,显示出基性熔岩主要来自亏损地幔(DM)和富集地幔端员(EMⅠ或EMⅡ)混合源区,可能有少量地壳物质混染。陈家河中酸性火山岩属于钙碱性系列,∑REE=127.51×10-6~276.01×10-6,LREE显著富集[(La/Yb)N=4.79~13.51],多数具有弱负Eu异常(δEu=0.53~1.20);微量元素分配型式类似于岛弧花岗岩,具明显的Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf低谷。综合研究表明,北祁连最东段陈家河中酸性火山岩形成于岛弧环境,而其南部的红土堡玄武岩形成于弧间裂谷环境(或初始弧后盆地),是早古生代晚期北祁连东段岛弧带扩张向弧后盆地演化的早期产物。这些研究成果为秦祁结合部位沟弧盆体系的存在提供了佐证。  相似文献

新疆西准噶尔北部地区的早泥盆世马拉苏组出露有少量富钠低钾的拉斑质中基性熔岩,这些分布于谢米斯台断裂北侧的玄武安山岩和玄武岩多呈夹层状断续产出于火山碎屑岩之中。马拉苏中基性熔岩的Mg#与主、微量元素协变关系及Th-Th/Nd图反映了其并非同源岩浆演化的结果。马拉苏火山岩中的玄武安山岩富集LILE、亏损HFSE,具有较高的Th含量及较低的Hf/Th和(Nb/Th)PM比值,显示出弧火山岩的地球化学特征。其中的玄武岩则具有略为平坦的稀土元素分配样式,较低的Th含量及较高的Hf/Th和(Nb/Th)PM比值,此同MORB地球化学特征极为相似;虽然其也显示有轻微的LILE富集、HFSE亏损,但是较高的La/Nb比值则暗示这同地壳或俯冲物质组分的卷入有关,且一系列构造环境判别图解也进一步印证了马拉苏组内的玄武岩应属似MORB基性熔岩。此外,两类岩石的高场强元素比值Zr/Nb、Hf/Ta同全球平均大洋中脊玄武岩的相应比值极为接近,反映了马拉苏组中基性火山岩的物质源区主体均为MORB地幔物质源区。La/Yb-Gd/Yb原始地幔标准化比值的模拟计算进一步显示了马拉苏组玄武安山岩与受改造(俯冲沉积物或地壳物质的混染)的石榴子石或尖晶石-石榴子石地幔橄榄岩物质源区的部分熔融作用有关,而似MORB型玄武岩则源自尖晶石地幔橄榄岩源区的部分熔融。结合区内同期的蛇绿岩、火山岩和碱性花岗岩的地球化学研究,我们可以进一步推断此类兼具有似MORB和弧火山岩地球化学特征的早泥盆世马拉苏火山岩应当是西准噶尔地块北部在早古生代受后期俯冲作用影响下经历弧后扩张形成的火山-岩浆地质记录。  相似文献

甘肃北山红石山基性-超基性岩体的成因类型及构造意义   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
红石山基性-超基性岩体是板块构造研究者重点关注的岩体之一,通过岩体地质特征及系统的岩石化学、微量元素、稀土元素等研究,探讨了红石山基性-超基性岩体的成因类型和形成构造环境。根据岩体的岩石类型组合、相带产出关系、纯橄岩离析体的发育、岩体内部流动构造、晚期多种岩脉和铬铁矿矿化类型等特征研究表明,岩体应是一种岩浆类型的侵入体;从岩石化学、微量、稀土元素地球化学特征上可反映出该岩体是晚古生代(石炭—二叠纪)时期与古亚洲大洋在向南消之闭合其间,于雀儿山-英安山岛弧带南缘发育起来的一种弧后盆地裂谷类型的地幔岩浆作用产物,其机制或动力学环境为一种弧后扩张,地幔上隆的大陆裂谷岩浆作用机制。  相似文献

华南新元古代中期(746-827Ma)双峰式(玄武岩-流纹岩)火山岩喷发于大陆板内裂谷环境。它们极有可能与导致Rodinia超大陆裂谷化-裂解的地幔柱(或超级地幔柱)活动有关。根据岩石地球化学数据,华南新元古代中期裂谷基性熔岩可以划分为高Ti/Y(HT,Ti/Y〉500)和低Ti/Y(LT,Ti/Y〈500)两个岩浆类型。HT熔岩又可进一步划分为HT1和HT2等两个亚类。HT1熔岩主要分部于华南中-西部裂谷盆地之中,总体上属于碱性玄武质岩浆系列;HT2和LT熔岩主要分布于华南中-东部裂谷盆地之中,总体上属于拉斑玄武质岩浆系列。元素和同位素数据表明,华南新元古代中期裂谷基性熔岩的化学变化不是由一个共同的母岩浆结晶分异作用所产生。华南中-西部地区裂谷基性熔岩的母岩浆经受了辉长岩质结晶分离作用,而华南中-东部地区裂谷基性熔岩的化学演化则是受控于单斜辉石(cpx)士橄榄石(01)结晶分离作用。各个双峰式火山岩系中,基性和酸性熔岩间为分异结晶关系。华南新元古代中期裂谷火山岩系极有可能是源于共同的地幔柱,该地幔柱组分的成分为:eNd(f)≈+6,Mg#≈0.7,La/Nb≈0.7。华南新元古代中期裂谷基性熔岩存在空间上的地球化学变化:华南中一西部HT1熔岩的母岩浆,没有受到明显的大陆岩石圈混染,保存了鲜明的地幔柱信号;而大陆地壳或大陆岩石圈混染作用对于华南中-东部LT和HT2熔岩的形成则有着重要贡献。研究揭示,华南新元古代中期裂谷基性熔岩的母岩浆总体上产生于上涌地幔柱较深层位的石榴子石稳定区(深度:100~130km)。中-西部裂谷基性熔岩的母岩浆(碱性玄武质)产生于深度较大(~130km)、部分熔融程度较低(〈10%)的条件下,中-东部裂谷基性熔岩的母岩浆(拉斑玄武质)产生于深度稍浅(~100km)?  相似文献

辽东地区早元古代火山岩特征及其形成的动力学背景   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
辽东地区早元古代火山岩是下元古界辽河群地层的重要组成部分,它们由酸性和基性两套火山岩组成。前者形成于辽河裂谷发育早期的拉张裂陷阶段,属于壳源岩浆成因;后者形成于辽河裂谷发育中晚期的强烈拉张裂陷阶段,属于幔源岩浆成因。重点讨论了基性火山岩的岩石学、矿物学、岩石化学和地球化学特征,结果表明,这些基性火山岩主要为一套海底喷发的基性枕状熔岩,具有大陆拉斑玄武岩和大洋拉斑玄武岩的双重特征,是辽河裂谷由大陆壳向大洋壳演化过程中的产物。火山岩形成的动力学背景与早元古代时期热地幔对流形式的出现以及郯—庐断裂带发生右旋平移剪切活动密切相关。  相似文献

南秦岭中段西乡群火山岩岩石成因   总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13  
南秦岭中段新元古代中期(730-845Ma)西乡群(自下而上包括孙家河组、大石沟组和白勉峡组)火山岩喷发于大陆板内裂谷环境。它们极有可能与导致Rodinia超大陆裂谷化裂解的地幔柱活动有关。根据岩石地球化学数据.南秦岭中段新元古代中期西乡群裂谷基性熔岩总体上属于低Ti/Y(LT,Ti/Y〈500)岩浆类型。LT熔岩又可进一步划分为LT1和LT2等2个亚类。LT1熔岩以高Nb/La(0.87~0.98)、低Thw/NbN(≈1)、缺乏Nb—Ta和Ti的亏损、具有“大隆起”式微量元素原始地幔标准化分配型式、(^87SrSr^86Sr)(t)=0.703869、εNd(t)=4.83为特征,属于拉斑玄武质岩浆系列;LT2熔岩以低Nb/La(〈0.75)、高ThN/NbN(〉1.4)、Nb—Ta和Ti亏损明显和Sr—Nd同位索比值变化较大为特征。元素和同位素数据表明,西乡群裂谷火山岩的化学变化不是由一个共同的母岩浆结晶分异作用所产生。孙家河组、大石沟组和自勉峡组中TiO2含量大于1.09%的火山岩的母岩浆经受了辉长岩质结晶分离作用。而白勉峡组中TiO2含量小于0.69%的基性熔岩的化学演化则是受控于单斜辉石(cpx)±橄榄石(ol)结晶分离作用。西乡群火山岩系中,基性、中性和酸性熔岩间为分异结晶关系。南秦岭中段新元古代中期西乡群裂谷火山岩系极有可能是源于共同的地幔柱,该地幔柱组分的成分为;εNd(t)≈+5,^87Sr/^86Sr(t)≈0.704,La/Nb≈0.7。南秦岭中段新元古代中期西乡群裂谷基性熔岩存在空间上的地球化学变化:LT1熔岩的母岩浆,没有受到明显的大陆岩石圈混染,保存了鲜明的地幔柱信号;而大陆地壳或大陆岩石圈混染作用对于LT2熔岩的形成则有着重要贡献。研究揭示,南秦岭中段新元古代中期西乡群裂谷基性熔岩的母岩浆总体上产生于上涌地幔柱上部层位(地幔柱头)3GPa?  相似文献

祁连山地区的新元古代中—晚期至早古生代火山作用显示系统地时、空变化,其乃是祁连山构造演化的火山响应。随着祁连山构造演化从Rodinia超大陆裂谷化—裂解,经早古生代大洋打开、扩张、洋壳俯冲和弧后伸展,直至洋盆闭合、弧-陆碰撞和陆-陆碰撞,火山作用也逐渐从裂谷和大陆溢流玄武质喷发,经大洋中脊型、岛弧和弧后盆地火山活动,转变为碰撞后裂谷式喷发。850~604 Ma的大陆裂谷和大陆溢流熔岩主要分布于祁连和柴达木陆块。从大约550 Ma至446 Ma,在北祁连和南祁连洋-沟-弧-盆系中广泛发育大洋中脊型、岛弧和弧后盆地型熔岩。与此同时,在祁连陆块中部,发育约522~442 Ma的陆内裂谷火山作用。早古生代洋盆于奥陶纪末(约446 Ma)闭合。随后,从约445 Ma至约428 Ma,于祁连陆块北缘发育碰撞后火山活动。此种时-空变异对形成祁连山的深部地球动力学过程提供了重要约束。该过程包括:(1)地幔柱或超级地幔柱上涌,导致Rodinia超大陆发生裂谷化、裂解、早古生代大洋打开、扩张、俯冲,并伴随岛弧形成;(2)俯冲的大洋板片回转,致使弧后伸展,进而形成弧后盆地;(3)洋盆闭合、板片断离,继而发生软流圈上涌,诱发碰撞后火山活动。晚志留世至早泥盆世(420~400 Ma),先期俯冲的地壳物质折返,发生强烈的造山活动。400 Ma后,山体垮塌、岩石圈伸展,相应发生碰撞后花岗质侵入活动。  相似文献

The Kudi ophiolite in the western Kunlun Mountains comprises harzburgites, dunites, cumulate dunites, cumulate pyroxenites and gabbros, diabase dikes, and pillow and massive lavas, and are fragments of a supra-subduction zone (SSZ) ophiolite from the Early Paleozoic. The extrusive rocks can be classified into three groups of tholeiites: back-arc basin (BAB) tholeiites, low-Ti island arc tholeiites (IAT), and LREE-enriched IAT, as shown by their distinctive geochemical characteristics. The SSZ-type mantle peridotites, the cumulate complex with arc tholeiite affinity, and BABB-type diabase dikes and basalts constitute an upper mantle and crustal section of a back-arc basin formed by coupling of MORB-type mantle upwelling with fluid efflux from slab devolatilization. The low-Ti IAT are characterized by low Ti and HFSE, and slightly U-shaped or LREE-depleted chondrite-normalized REE patterns, and represent melts derived from a depleted mantle source region (extraction of BABB magma) modified compositionally by fluids and/or melts from the subducting lithospheric slab during propagation and extension of the back-arc basin. We interpret the LREE-enriched IAT as products of closure of the back-arc basin because an interaction between the parental magma of this IAT and the mantle peridotites (formerly the upper mantle of the basin) in a newly formed mantle wedge had occurred.  相似文献

The northeast (NE) Honshu arc was formed by three major volcano-tectonic events resulting from Late Cenozoic orogenic movement: continental margin volcanism (before 21?Ma), seafloor basaltic lava flows and subsequent bimodal volcanism accompanied by back-arc rifting (21 to 14?Ma), and felsic volcanism related to island arc uplift (12 to 2?Ma). Eight petrotectonic domains, parallel to the NE Honshu arc, were formed as a result of the eastward migration of volcanic activity with time. Major Kuroko volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are located within the eastern marginal rift zone (Kuroko rift) that formed in the final period of back-arc rifting (16 to 14?Ma). Volcanic activity in the NE Honshu arc is divided into six volcanic stages. The eruption volumes of volcanic rocks have gradually decreased from 4,600?km3 (per 1?my for a 200-km-long section along the arc) of basaltic lava flows in the back-arc spreading stage to 1,000?C2,000?km3 of bimodal hyaloclastites in the back-arc rift stage, and about 200?km3 of felsic pumice eruptions in the island arc stage. The Kuroko VMS deposits were formed at the time of abrupt decrease in the eruption volume and change in the mode of occurrence of the volcanic rocks during the final period of back-arc rifting. In the area of the Kuroko rift, felsic volcanism changed from aphyric or weakly plagioclase phyric (before 14?Ma), to quartz and plagioclase phyric with minor clinopyroxene (12 to 8?Ma), to hornblende phyric (after 8?Ma), and hornblende and biotite phyric (after 4?Ma). The Kuroko VMS deposits are closely related to the aphyric rhyolitic activity before 14?Ma. The rhyolite was generated at a relatively high temperature from a highly differentiated part of felsic magma seated at a relatively great depth and contains higher Nb, Ce, and Y contents than the post-Kuroko felsic volcanism. The Kuroko VMS deposits were formed within a specific tectonic setting, at a specific period, and associated with a particular volcanism of the arc evolution process. Therefore, detailed study of the evolutional process from rift opening to island arc tectonics is very important for the exploration of Kuroko-type VMS deposits.  相似文献

西南极主要由哈格冰原岛峰群、南极半岛、瑟斯顿岛、玛丽·伯德地和埃尔斯沃思-惠特莫尔山脉五个各具特色的地壳块体组成。通过综述上述各块体主要的岩浆事件及其构造意义,旨在了解西南极的地质演化过程。西南极最古老的岩石为哈格冰原岛峰群地块的前寒武纪正片麻岩,时代为1238 Ma,记录了中元古代弧岩浆作用,其余四个地块记录了~500 Ma以来的地质演化过程。古生代时期,埃尔斯沃思-惠特莫尔山脉地块处于快速沉降的陆相断陷盆地环境,岩浆活动稀少,与罗斯造山运动形成的弧后伸展有关;玛丽·伯德地地块中—晚古生代发育一套与板块汇聚有关的岩浆作用,形成于活动大陆边缘环境;而南极半岛-瑟斯顿岛地块记录了石炭纪—二叠纪时期弧的发育。各地块的构造背景从侏罗纪开始明显分化,埃尔斯沃思-惠特莫尔山脉地块记录了侏罗纪板内岩浆作用,可能与大火成岩省有关;玛丽·伯德地地块发育的侏罗纪—早白垩世Ⅰ型弧岩浆岩随时间转变为白垩纪中期的A型碱性岩浆岩,经历了由俯冲向裂解机制的转变;南极半岛-瑟斯顿岛地块侏罗纪—白垩纪为弧岩浆活动活跃期,同时也有大火成岩省火山活动的记录,是持续俯冲和裂解相互作用的产物。新生代岩浆作用以南极半岛地块为代表,弧岩浆作用持续到始新世,其时空分布特征与左行错断扩张脊的分段俯冲和碰撞有关。   相似文献

Amongst island arcs, Izu–Bonin is remarkable as it has widespread, voluminous and long-lived volcanism behind the volcanic front. In the central part of the arc this volcanism is represented by a series of seamount chains which extend nearly 300 km into the back-arc from the volcanic front. These back-arc seamount chains were active between 17 and 3 Ma, which is the period between the cessation of spreading in the Shikoku Basin and the initiation of currently active rifting just behind the Quaternary volcanic front. In this paper we present new age, chemical and isotopic data from the hitherto unexplored seamounts which formed furthest from the active volcanic front. Some of the samples come from volcanoes at the western limit of the back-arc seamount chains. Others are collected from seamounts of various sizes which lie on the Shikoku Basin crust (East Shikoku Basin seamounts). The westernmost magmatism we have sampled is manifested as a series of volcanic edifices that trace the extinct spreading centre of the Shikoku Basin known as the Kinan Seamount Chain (KSC).Chemically, enrichment in fluid-mobile elements and depletion in HFSE relative to MORB indicates that the back-arc seamount chains and the East Shikoku Basin seamounts have a significant contribution of slab-derived material. In this context these volcanoes can be regarded as a manifestation of arc magmatism and distinct from the MORB-like lavas of the Shikoku back-arc basin. 40Ar/39Ar ages range from 15.7 to 9.6 Ma for the East Shikoku Basin seamounts, indicating this arc magmatism started immediately after the Shikoku Basin stopped spreading.Although the KSC volcanoes are found to be contemporaneous with the seamount chains and East Shikoku Basin seamounts, their chemical characteristics are very different. Unlike the calc-alkaline seamount chains, the KSC lavas range from medium-K to shoshonitic alkaline basalt. Their trace element characteristics indicate the absence of a subduction influence and their radiogenic isotope systematics reflect a mantle source combining a Philippine Sea MORB composition and an enriched mantle component (EM-1). One of the most remarkable features of the KSC is that their geochemistry has a distinct temporal variation. Element ratios such as Nb/Zr and concentrations of incompatible elements such as K2O increase with decreasing age and reach a maximum at ca. 7 Ma when the KSC ceased activity.Based on the chemical and temporal information from all the data across the back-arc region, we have identified two contrasting yet contemporaneous magmatic provinces. These share a tectonic platform, but have separate magmatic roots; one stemming from subduction flux and the other from post-spreading asthenospheric melting.  相似文献

In the eastern Bulgarian Rhodope, mafic extrusive rocks and underlying greenschists are found in the Mesozoic low-grade unit, which represents the northern extension of similar sequences including the Evros ophiolites in Thrace (Greece). Both rock types define a suite of low-Ti tholeiitic basalts to transitional boninitic basaltic andesites and andesites and associated metapyroclastites (greenschists), intruded at its base by diorite dikes of a boninitic affinity. Mafic lavas and greenschists display large ion lithophile element (LILE) enrichment relative to high-field strength elements (HFSE), flat REE patterns of a slight light REE depletion, a strong island arc tholeiite (IAT) and weak MORB-like signature. All these rocks are characterized by negative Nb anomalies ascribed to arc lavas. They have positive Ndi values in the range of + 4.87 to + 6.09, approaching the lower limit of MORB-like source, and relatively high (207Pb/204Pb)i (15.57–15.663) at low (206Pb/204Pb)i (18.13–18.54) ratios. The Nd isotopic compositions coupled with trace element data imply a dominantly depleted MORB-like mantle source and a contribution of subduction modified LILE-enriched component derived from the mantle wedge. The diorite dike has a low Ndi value of − 2.61 and is slightly more Pb radiogenic (207Pb/204Pb)i (15.64) and (206Pb/204Pb)i (18.56), respectively, reflecting crustal contamination. Petrologic and geochemical data indicate that the greenschists and mafic extrusive rocks represent a magmatic assemblage formed in an island arc setting. The magmatic suite is interpreted as representing an island arc–accretionary complex related to the southward subduction of the Meliata–Maliac ocean under the supra-subduction back-arc Vardar ocean/island arc system. Magmatic activity appears to have initiated in the north during the inception of the island arc system by the Early–Middle Jurassic time in the eastern Rhodope that most likely graded to back-arc spreading southwards as represented by the Late Jurassic MORB-type Samothraki Island ophiolites. This tectonic scenario is further constrained by paleotectonic reconstructions. The arc–trench system collided with the Rhodope in the Late Jurassic times.  相似文献

The Main Ethiopian Rift is a key sector of the East African Rift System that connects the Afar depression, at Red Sea–Gulf of Aden junction, with the Turkana depression and Kenya Rift to the South. It is a magmatic rift that records all the different stages of rift evolution from rift initiation to break-up and incipient oceanic spreading: it is thus an ideal place to analyse the evolution of continental extension, the rupture of lithospheric plates and the dynamics by which distributed continental deformation is progressively focused at oceanic spreading centres.The first tectono-magmatic event related to the Tertiary rifting was the eruption of voluminous flood basalts that apparently occurred in a rather short time interval at around 30 Ma; strong plateau uplift, which resulted in the development of the Ethiopian and Somalian plateaus now surrounding the rift valley, has been suggested to have initiated contemporaneously or shortly after the extensive flood-basalt volcanism, although its exact timing remains controversial. Voluminous volcanism and uplift started prior to the main rifting phases, suggesting a mantle plume influence on the Tertiary deformation in East Africa. Different plume hypothesis have been suggested, with recent models indicating the existence of deep superplume originating at the core-mantle boundary beneath southern Africa, rising in a north–northeastward direction toward eastern Africa, and feeding multiple plume stems in the upper mantle. However, the existence of this whole-mantle feature and its possible connection with Tertiary rifting are highly debated.The main rifting phases started diachronously along the MER in the Mio-Pliocene; rift propagation was not a smooth process but rather a process with punctuated episodes of extension and relative quiescence. Rift location was most probably controlled by the reactivation of a lithospheric-scale pre-Cambrian weakness; the orientation of this weakness (roughly NE–SW) and the Late Pliocene (post 3.2 Ma)-recent extensional stress field generated by relative motion between Nubia and Somalia plates (roughly ESE–WNW) suggest that oblique rifting conditions have controlled rift evolution. However, it is still unclear if these kinematical boundary conditions have remained steady since the initial stages of rifting or the kinematics has changed during the Late Pliocene or at the Pliocene–Pleistocene boundary.Analysis of geological–geophysical data suggests that continental rifting in the MER evolved in two different phases. An early (Mio-Pliocene) continental rifting stage was characterised by displacement along large boundary faults, subsidence of rift depression with local development of deep (up to 5 km) asymmetric basins and diffuse magmatic activity. In this initial phase, magmatism encompassed the whole rift, with volcanic activity affecting the rift depression, the major boundary faults and limited portions of the rift shoulders (off-axis volcanism). Progressive extension led to the second (Pleistocene) rifting stage, characterised by a riftward narrowing of the volcano-tectonic activity. In this phase, the main boundary faults were deactivated and extensional deformation was accommodated by dense swarms of faults (Wonji segments) in the thinned rift depression. The progressive thinning of the continental lithosphere under constant, prolonged oblique rifting conditions controlled this migration of deformation, possibly in tandem with the weakening related to magmatic processes and/or a change in rift kinematics. Owing to the oblique rifting conditions, the fault swarms obliquely cut the rift floor and were characterised by a typical right-stepping arrangement. Ascending magmas were focused by the Wonji segments, with eruption of magmas at surface preferentially occurring along the oblique faults. As soon as the volcano-tectonic activity was localised within Wonji segments, a strong feedback between deformation and magmatism developed: the thinned lithosphere was strongly modified by the extensive magma intrusion and extension was facilitated and accommodated by a combination of magmatic intrusion, dyking and faulting. In these conditions, focused melt intrusion allows the rupture of the thick continental lithosphere and the magmatic segments act as incipient slow-spreading mid-ocean spreading centres sandwiched by continental lithosphere.Overall the above-described evolution of the MER (at least in its northernmost sector) documents a transition from fault-dominated rift morphology in the early stages of extension toward magma-assisted rifting during the final stages of continental break-up. A strong increase in coupling between deformation and magmatism with extension is documented, with magma intrusion and dyking playing a larger role than faulting in strain accommodation as rifting progresses to seafloor spreading.  相似文献

We present new major element, trace element, and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data for 18 basaltic lavas and six glasses collected in situ from the Eastern Lau Spreading Centre (ELSC) and the Valu Fa Ridge (VFR). All lava samples are aphanitic and contain rare plagioclase and clinopyroxene microlites and microphenocrysts. The rocks are sub-alkaline and range from basalt and basaltic andesite to more differentiated andesite. In terms of trace element compositions, the samples are transitional between typical normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) and island arc basalt. Samples from the VFR have higher large ion lithophile element/high field strength element ratios (e.g. Ba/Nb) than the ELSC samples. VFR and ELSC Sr–Nd isotopic compositions plot between Indian MORB and Tonga arc lavas, but VFR samples have higher 87Sr/86Sr for a given 143Nd/144Nd ratio than ELSC analogues. The Pb isotopic composition of ELSC lavas is more Indian MORB-like, whereas that of VFR lavas is more Pacific MORB-like. Our new data, combined with literature data for the Central Lau Spreading Centre, indicate that the mantle beneath the ELSC and VFR spreading centres was originally of Pacific type in composition, but was displaced by Indian-type mantle as rifting propagated to the south. The mantle beneath the spreading centres also was variably affected by subduction-induced metasomatism, mainly by fluids released from the altered, subducting oceanic crust; the influence of these components is best seen in VFR lavas. To a first approximation, the effects of underflow on the composition and degree of partial melting of the mantle source of Lau spreading centre lavas inversely correlate with distance of the spreading centres from the Tonga arc. Superimposed on this general process, however, are the effects of the local geographic contrasts in the composition of subduction components. The latter have been transferred mainly by dehydration-generated fluids into the mantle beneath the Tonga supra-subduction zone.  相似文献
