Bundelkhand mafic dykes, Central Indian Shield: Implications for the role of sediment subduction in Proterozoic crustal evolution     

Mohammad Erfan Ali Mondal and  Talat Ahmad 《Island Arc》2001,10(1):51-67

Abstract The Archean to Paleo–Proterozoic Bundelkhand massif basement of the central Indian shield has been dissected by numerous mafic dykes of Proterozoic age. These dykes are low‐Ti tholeiites, ranging in composition from subalkaline basalt through basaltic‐andesite to dacite. They are enriched in light rare earth elements (LREE), large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and depleted in high field strength elements (HFSE: Nb, P and Ti). Negative Sr anomaly is conspicuous. Nb/La ratios of the dykes are much lower compared with the primitive mantle, not much different from the average crustal values, but quite similar to those of continental and subduction related basaltic rocks. Bulk contamination of the mantle derived magma by crustal material is inadequate to explain the observed geochemical characteristics; instead contamination of the mantle/lithospheric source(s) via subduction of sediment is a better proposition. Thus, in addition to generating juvenile crust along the former island arcs, subduction processes appear to have influence on the development of enriched mantle/lithospheric source(s). The Bundelkhand massif basement is inferred to represent subduction related juvenile crust, that experienced lithospheric extension and rifting possibly in response to mantle plume activities. The latter probably supplied the required heat, material (fluids) and extensional environment to trigger melting in the refractory lithospheric source(s) and emplacement of the mafic dykes. Proterozoic mafic magmatic rocks from Bundelkhand, Aravalli, Singhbhum and Bastar regions of the Indian shield and those from the Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya display remarkably similar enriched incompatible trace elements characteristics, although limited chemical variations are observed in all these rocks. This may indicate the existence of a large magmatic province, different parts of which might have experienced similar petrogenetic processes and were probably derived from mantle/lithospheric source(s) with similar trace element characteristics. The minor, less enriched to depleted components of the Jharol Group of the Aravalli terrane and those from the Singhbhum terrane may represent protracted phases of rifting, that probably caused thinning and mobilization of the lithosphere, facilitating the eruption/emplacement of the asthenospheric melts (with N‐ to T‐types mid‐oceanic ridge basalts signatures) and deposition of deep water facies sediments in the younger developing oceanic basins. In contrast, Bundelkhand region did not experience such protracted rifting, although dyke swarms were emplaced and shallow water Bijawar Group and Vindhyan Supergroup sediments were deposited in continental rift basins. All these discrete Proterozoic terranes appear to have experienced similar petrogenetic processes, tectonomagmatic and possibly temporal evolution involving subduction processes, influencing the lithospheric source characteristics, followed by probably mantle plume induced ensialic rifting through to the development of oceanic basins in the Indian shield regions and their extension in the Lesser Himalaya.  相似文献

Nd-isotope systematics of ∼2.7 Ga adakites, magnesian andesites, and arc basalts, Superior Province: evidence for shallow crustal recycling at Archean subduction zones     

Ali Polat  Robert Kerrich 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2002,202(2):345-360

An association of adakite, magnesian andesite (MA), and Nb-enriched basalt (NEB) volcanic flows, which erupted within ‘normal’ intra-oceanic arc tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts, has recently been documented in ∼2.7 Ga Wawa greenstone belts. Large, positive initial ?_Nd values (+1.95 to +2.45) of the adakites signify that their basaltic precursors, with a short crustal residence, were derived from a long-term depleted mantle source. It is likely that the adakites represent the melts of subducted late Archean oceanic crust. Initial ?_Nd values in the MA (+0.14 to +1.68), Nb-enriched basalts and andesites (NEBA) (+1.11 to +2.05), and ‘normal’ intra-oceanic arc tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts and andesites (+1.44 to +2.44) overlap with, but extend to lower values than, the adakites. Large, tightly clustered ?_Nd values of the adakites, together with Th/Ce and Ce/Yb systematics of the arc basalts that rule out sediment melting, place the enriched source in the sub-arc mantle. Accordingly, isotopic data for the MA, NEBA, and ‘normal’ arc basalts can be explained by melting of an isotopically heterogeneous sub-arc mantle that had been variably enriched by recycling of continental material into the shallow mantle in late Archean subduction zones up to 200 Ma prior to the 2.7 Ga arc. If the late Archean Wawa adakites, MA, and basalts were generated by similar geodynamic processes as their counterparts in Cenozoic arcs, involving subduction of young and/or hot ocean lithosphere, then it is likely that late Archean oceanic crust, and arc crust, were also created and destroyed by modern plate tectonic-like geodynamic processes. This study suggests that crustal recycling through subduction zone processes played an important role for the generation of heterogeneity in the Archean upper mantle. In addition, the results of this study indicate that the Nd-isotope compositions of Archean arc- and plume-derived volcanic rocks are not very distinct, whereas Phanerozoic plumes and intra-oceanic arcs tend to have different Nd-isotopic compositions.  相似文献

Hydrological mapping from SPOT imagery     

Abdalla Elsadig Ali 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1991,16(2):173-180

Four SPOT images, one panchromatic and three multispectral, were studied to evaluate their usefulness for hydrological mapping in an arid environment. Simple visual methods of interpretation were used to plot the drainage network independently from each test image. The results were compared with the drainage network shown on the topographic map of the area. Results show that with the panchromatic image, over 90 per cent of the map content could be discerned, identified, and plotted. The accuracy of plotting the drainage system from the multispectral images seems to depend on the season in which data had been acquired. However, in all cases, the success rate is not less than 70 per cent. Comparison with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery showed that SPOT system is superior in hydrological mapping.  相似文献   

Crowdsourced approaches for stage measurements at ungauged locations using smartphones     

Yusuf Sermet  Paul Villanueva  Muhammed Ali Sit  Ibrahim Demir 《水文科学杂志》2020,65(5):813-822

ABSTRACT

The growing availability of smart devices with advanced sensors has increased the opportunities for citizen science applications for environmental monitoring. Accurate and widespread monitoring of river stage is vital for modeling water resources. Reliable data points are required for model calibration and validation in forecast studies. While current embedded monitoring systems provide accurate measurements, the cost to replicate these systems on a large domain is prohibitively expensive, limiting the quantity of data available. This project describes a new method to accurately measure river levels using smartphone sensors. Pictures of the same point on the river’s surface are taken to perform calculations based on the GPS location and spatial orientation of the smartphone. The proposed implementation is significantly more accessible than existing water measuring systems while offering similar accuracy. A case study is performed to evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of the measurements to changes in distance.  相似文献   

Travel times ofP-waves for the Swedish-Finnish seismograph network     

Mohammad Ali Enayatollah 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1972,94(1):101-135

Summary About 360 seismic events from almost all directions recorded at 13 seismological observatories in Sweden and Finland have been investigated. The depths of these events vary from the surface to 650 km and the epicentral distances from 9° to 119° with fairly even coverage. The two most separated stations in this array are about 15° apart (Karlskrona in Sweden and Kevo in Finland). Comparison of observed travel-time curves and their slope with those ofJeffreys-Bullen andHerrin are made. Generally, the observed travel times are earlier than theJeffreys-Bullen times and later than theHerrin ones. Path and depth effects on residuals with respect to the two given tables are studied, and station corrections and source corrections are estimated. Global and regional travel-time tables of theP-wave have been constructed for this network of stations.On leave from Geophysical Institute, Tehran University, Tehran, Iran  相似文献   

An improved classification of mineralized zones using particle swarm optimization: A case study from Dagh-Dali ZnPb (±Au) prospect,Northwest Iran     

Zeinab Soltani  Ali Imamalipour 《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2022,82(1):125850

Classification of mineralized areas into different geochemical classes in terms of prospectivity is crucial in the optimal management of exploration risk and costs. Machine learning (ML) algorithms can be served as appropriate alternatives for separating ore-related anomalies due to avoiding the assumptions of statistical distribution and compatibility with the multivariate nature of geochemical features. By hybridizing the ML with a metaheuristic algorithm called particle swarm optimization (PSO), this contribution aims to provide an innovative approach to optimize the classification of geochemical anomalies within the study area. The algorithm, PSO, is inspired by simulating the social behavior of flocks of birds in search of food. The Dagh-Dali ZnPb (±Au) mineral prospect in northwest Iran was subjected as a case study to examine the integrity of the proposed method. Mineralization-related features were extracted by applying principal component analysis (PCA) on metallogenic elements analyzed in soil samples as PC1 and PC2 with elemental assemblages of AgAuPbZn and PbZn, respectively. The silhouette index was employed to estimate the number of underlying geochemical clusters within the adopted feature space. To constitute a comparative analysis, two k-means clustering and PSO-based learning (PSO-L) algorithms were implemented to classify the gridded data of PC1 and PC2 within the study area. The results indicated that the use of PSO has improved the cost function of the clustering problem (up to 4%). Adapting the mineralization classes with the metallogenic evidence demonstrated by boreholes drilled in the study area indicated that PSO-L was superior to the traditional k-means method, improving the accurate estimation of subsurface mineralization classes by 7%. By overcoming the drawbacks of conventional methods for trapping at the local optima, PSO-based learning possesses the potential to highlight weak mineralization signals that are numerically located in boundary conditions. The results show that the proposed approach can serve as an effective medium for optimal modeling of geochemical classes and management of detailed exploration operations.  相似文献   

Localization analysis in softening RC frame structures     

Ali R. Khaloo  Saeed Tariverdilo 《地震工程与结构动力学》2003,32(2):207-227

This paper discusses the sensitivity of softening reinforced concrete frame structures to the changes in input ground motion and investigates the possibility of localizations for this type of structure in static and dynamic analysis. A finite element model is used in which the sections resisting force are calculated using a proposed differential hysteretic model. This model is especially developed for modelling softening behaviour under cyclic loading. To obtain parameters of the differential model the moment–curvature of each section is evaluated using a microplane constitutive law for concrete and bi‐linear elasto‐plastic law for reinforcements. The capability of the procedure is verified by comparing results with available experimental data at element level, which shows good accuracy of the procedure. The effect of possible changes in ground motion is assessed using a non‐stationary Kanai–Tajimi process. This process is used to generate ground motions with approximately the same amplitude and frequency content evolution as those of base ground motion. The possibility of localization in static and dynamic loading is investigated using two structures. A measure for the possibility of localization in code‐designed structures is obtained. This study indicates that localization may occur in ordinary moment‐resisting structures located in high seismic zones. Localization may result in substantial drift in global response and instability due to P–δ effect. Also, it is shown that the structure becomes very sensitive to the input ground motion. It is concluded that allowance by some design codes of the use of ordinary moment‐resisting frames in regions with high seismicity should be revised or improvements should be made in the detailing requirements at critical sections of these structures.
