Cathodoluminescence and micro-structural evidence for crystallisation and deformation processes of granites in the Eastern Lachlan Fold Belt (SE Australia)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Trace elements (Al, K, Ti, Fe), growth and deformation pattern in quartz of the multiple deformed Carcoar, Barry and Sunset Hills granites were investigated by electron micro probe and cathodoluminescence. Zoned quartz phenocrysts with high Ti concentrations (>70 ppm) that show blue cathodoluminescence originated from the early stage of magma crystallisation. Multiple deformation of quartz causes the redistribution of Al and K in the quartz lattice, which results in the accumulation of these elements in submicroscopic inclusions (<0.5 µm) of muscovite-like composition. In contrast, structural Ti in quartz is mostly kept in the lattice. Common halos of defect-poor, secondary quartz around fluid inclusions result from re-equilibration of fluid inclusions because of differences between fluid pressure and lithostatic pressure, e.g. during uplift (isothermal decompression) and/or !/#-transition of quartz. During healing, defect-poor secondary quartz grows at the cost of the host quartz and releases or replaces defect centres. The results of micro-structural investigations combined with Al-in-hornblende thermobarometry allow the reconstruction of regional processes. Carcoar and Barry granodiorites and Sunset Hills granite were intruded in the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian at depths of 4-8.6 and 10-12 km, respectively. In contrast to the continuous crystallisation of the granodiorite magmas, the magma of the Sunset Hills granite ascended in a stepwise fashion, causing multiple quartz nucleation. The two granodiorites were multiple, post-magmatically deformed, first, during Early Devonian under more brittle conditions at temperatures of 350-400 °C, whereas the Sunset Hills granite experienced more ductile deformation at temperatures of around 550 °C.  相似文献

Population growth and urbanization in Latin America     

Borsdorf A 《GeoJournal》1978,2(1):47-60

The population of Latin America will be increasing by 130 % between 1970 and the year 2000. Due to excessive rural exodus the urban population grows almost twice as fast as the rural does. The urbanization of the subcontinent must be regarded as being the dominant spatial process in Latin America. It results in fundamental changes of the structure and the way of life of the population as well as in the size and character of the settlements. Three case studies (Popayán/Colombia, Sucre/Bolivia and Santiago/Chile) show that a process of westernization can be observed within the analogous to their size, in the course of which the compact structure of the colonial town pattern is succeeded by a sectorially or cellularly arranged cityorganism. From today's point of view a definite judgement on urbanization as a relevant phenomenon of development cannot yet be made. It can be stated, however, that the southern countries of Latin America which have been urbanized the most show distinct signs of a social and economic “take off”.  相似文献   

Magnetotelluric survey across the active spreading zone in Southwest Iceland     

Gylfi Pll Hersir  Axel Bjrnsson  Laust Brsting Pedersen 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1984,20(3-4)

The results of 10 magnetotelluric soundings, performed along a 110-km-long profile crossing the constructive plate boundary in southwest Iceland, are presented. Apparent resistivities are interpreted by a horizontally stratified earth model to yield a pseudo cross-section along the profile. The crust-mantle interface contains a well conductive layer. The depth to the good conductor increases with age of the crust and the distance from the axial zone. This layer is interpreted as partially molten basalt, at a temperature about 1100°C and a volume fraction of the melt phase in the range 10–20%.The high-conductivity layer probably disappears west of the Borgarnes anticlinal axis, which separates the older (to the west) and younger (to the east) flood basalts in western Iceland, indicating that the temperature below the oldest part of the profile lies below the solidus curve of basalt. Recent seismic crustal investigations in the same area indicate a state of partial melting or a magma chamber, which agrees with the results of the magnetotelluric soundings.  相似文献

Hydration swelling of crystalline rocks     

Axel Schult  Ge Shi 《Geophysical Journal International》1997,131(1):179-186

Long-duration deformation experiments at room temperature have shown that crystalline rocks with low porosities, such as granites, diorites, gneisses and metabasites, swell when saturated with water and shrink when dried out. The effect is reversible and reproducible. The swelling cannot be completely hindered by confining pressures up to 15 MPa. The volume strain (from the dry to the saturated state) is of the order of a tenth of the porosity. The volume strain is decreased in brine with increasing molarity and becomes much smaller by saturation with heptane. Swelling and shrinking can also be observed with sorption and desorption of water, that is a change in the relative humidity of the air. It is proposed that the swelling effect is due to surface forces, that is van der Waals attraction and electrostatic double-layer and solvation repulsion. The pore pressure causing the swelling was estimated to be of the order of 15 MPa. This indicates the presence of very flat pores with distances between the surfaces of about 1 nm. The surface forces probably also play an important role in determining the seismic properties of the rocks at low confining pressures.  相似文献   

Textural evidence of magma decompression, devolatilization and disequilibrium quenching: an example from the Western Krušné hory/Erzgebirge granite pluton     

Miroslav Štemprok  David Dolejš  Axel Müller  Reimar Seltmann 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,155(1):93-109

We report new occurrences of “two-phase” granitic textures from the Western Krušné hory/Erzgebirge pluton (central Europe) and use crystal-size distribution data and thermodynamic modeling to interpret their crystallization conditions. The two-phase texture consists of (1) early phenocrysts of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar and biotite, (2) medium-grained matrix of the same phases and (3) interstitial channels and patches of a late-stage, very fine-grained matrix. The porphyritic two-mica microgranites, which host two-phase textures, occur as minor intrusions in early low-F biotite granites or as marginal parts of evolved high-F Li-mica granites. Measurements of the crystal-size distribution of quartz revealed three grain populations: (1) early phenocrysts (0.5–3.0 mm) showing partial resorption by residual melt, (2) a medium-grained population of the equigranular rock matrix (0.05–0.50 mm) that experienced minor coarsening by subsolidus annealing and (3) a fine-grained population (<0.03 mm) in the interstitial channels and patches formed during rapid devolatilization; this quartz group shows no or poor grain coarsening. All samples exhibit similar fraction of the fine-grained population (44–52%) but proportions of phenocrysts to medium-grained matrix vary significantly. Thermodynamic modeling of liquidus equilibria and experimental data in the hydrous haplogranite system require: (1) ascent of a granitic suspension (15–25% phenocrysts) under H₂O-undersaturated conditions at 25–45 bar/°C and a cooling rate of 40 J/(g kbar) in order to produce partial resorption of quartz phenocrysts and continued growth of feldspar phenocrysts, followed by (2) emplacement as discrete intrusions or bodies along pluton roof accompanied by sudden devolatilization. At the onset of matrix nucleation, disequilibrium undercooling of 70–85°C was inferred from the presence of micrographic intergrowths of quartz and K-feldspar. The two-phase granites in the Western Krušné hory/Erzgebirge pluton and in the Southeast Asian batholith form compositionally narrow groups with high-silica and moderate volatile enrichments but they differ in peraluminosity and phosphorus concentrations.

Preliminary Estimation of Paleoproductivity via TOC and Habitat Types： Which Method Is More Reliable？ -A Case Study on the Ordovician-Silurian Transitional Black Shales of the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China     

苏文博  王永标  Bradley  D  Cramer  AxelMunnecke  李志明  傅力浦 《中国地质大学学报(英文版)》2008,19(5):534-548

New total organic carbon (TOC) data from the two Ordovician-Silurian transitional graptolite-bearing black shale intervals, the Wnfeng (五峰) Formation and the Longmaxi (龙马溪) Formation in Central Guizhou (贵州) and West Hubei (湖北), respectively, as well as previously reported TOC data from the same intervals in other places on the Yangtze platform of South China, have been used to produce an initial estimate of the primary paleoproductivity via a conventional inverse method (i.e., Rpp-inverse). The values of the Rpp-inverse are estimated to be 32 (43-21) gC/(m2·a) (Wufeng Formation) and 21 (27-16) gC/(m2·a) (Longmaxi Formation). Also, simultaneously, the habitat types (i.e., HT; cf., BA: benthic assemblage) and their temporal and spatial changes have been documented from the same succession, and an initial estimate of the primary paleoproductivity has been produced using a forward method (i.e., Rpp.forward). Being bounded mainly by the peritidai to inner-shelf environment shelly-facies or mixed-facies successions with BAI to BA3 faunas both at the top and the base, which indicates the habitat types from HT Ⅱ1 to HT Ⅲ2, the biohabitat type of the two graptolite-bearing black shale intervals can be limited to HT Ⅲ to HT Ⅳ, corresponding to the inner shelf to the outer shelf, with depths from roughly 60 m to 200-300 m. Based on the current data from the South China Sea and the southern part of the East China Sea, values of Rpp-forward should be about 100 to 400 gC/(m2·a). The difference in the results via the two methods suggests that paleoproductivity estimates from the geological strata need to be made cautiously, with particular attention paid to the paleogeographic setting, oxic-anoxic conditions, as also the preservation factor of organic carbon.  相似文献
