Hydrogen isotopic composition of MnO(OH) minerals from manganese oxide and massive sulfide (Kuroko) deposits in Japan     

Yu Hariya  Makoto Tsutsumi 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1981,77(3):256-261

The hydrogen isotopic composition of structural water in MnO(OH) minerals from manganese oxide and massive sulfide deposits (Kuroko) in Tertiary formations fall within a narrow range from -261 to -275 permil relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW). The δD of two manganites from manganese deposits in Paleozoic formations were -236 and -298 permil, indicating a wider range than in those of Tertiary manganese deposits. The MnO(OH) minerals are more deuterium-depleted. than any other hydrothermal minerals reported to date. Hydrogen isotopic fractionation factors between manganite and water were experimentally determined to be 0.7894, 0.7958, and 0.8078 at 150°, 200°, and 250° C, respectively, under hydrothermal conditions at 500 bars. The present experimental results indicate that if manganites were formed at temperatures below 250° C under isotopic equilibrium conditions, then most manganite mineralization in the ore deposits must have precipitated from meteoric hydrothermal solutions.  相似文献   

Possible effects of collisions on plate motions     

Makoto Yamano  Seiya Uyeda 《Tectonophysics》1985,119(1-4)

A large-scale collision at a plate boundary is expected to play an important role not only in the deformation at the boundary but also in the motion of the plate carrying the buoyant material to be accreted. Possible changes in rates and directions of such motions may be calculated provided that certain assumptions are made about the nature of the driving forces. In this model we shall assume basically that:

1. (1) an oceanic plate is driven by slab pull and ridge push, being resisted by basal asthenospheric drag and slab resistance; and

2. (2) because of detachment, slab pull is lost upon collision.

If, however, the calculated motion following collision has a convergent component at the boundary, a new subduction zone, with an increasing slab pull force, forms seaward of the accreting buoyant material.Calculations were first made on an idealized planar octagonal plate. Results indicated that, so long as the scale of collision is limited, changes in motion take place but the motion returns to the initial state. However, for large-scale collisions, the plate motion suffers a large directional change, which also changes the nature of some boundaries, and hence the motion approaches a new steady-state motion irreversibly. Calculations were then conducted on an idealized Philippine Sea plate on a spherical earth. For a sizable collision along the Taiwan-Philippine-Mindanao boundary, this boundary and perhaps the Bonin-Mariana boundary, may become a transform fault provided that slab pull-ridge push is the driving force. These results provide some support to Uyeda-McCabe model (1983) of episodic spreading of the Philippine Sea basins, as well as the predominance of strike-slip motion along collision boundaries. Finally, in agreement with prior studies, subduction of a ridge system, assumed to have been located along the southwestern rim of the Paleo-Pacific plate, was shown to be consistent with the change in direction of motion of that plate at 43 m.y.B.P.Calculations conducted in this study show that predicted changes are model dependent so that comparisons with observed or inferred motions may be useful as a means of estimating the relative importance of the various potential driving forces.  相似文献   

Sapphirine bearing granulites from the Sipiwesk Lake area of the late Archean Pikwitonei granulite terrain,Manitoba, Canada   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Makoto Arima  Robert L. Barnett 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1984,88(1-2):102-112

Sapphirine occurs in the orthopyroxene-cordierite and feldspar-sillimanite granulites in the Sipiwesk Lake area of the Pikwitonei granulite terrain, Manitoba (97°40W, 55°05N). The orthopyroxene-cordierite granulites have extremely high Al₂O₃ (24.5 wt%) and MgO (24.6 wt%) contents and contain sapphirine (up to 69.2 wt% Al₂O₃), aluminous orthopyroxene (up to 8.93 wt% Al₂O₃), cordierite, spinel, phlogopite, and corundum. Sapphirine forms coronas mantling spinel and corundum. Corona sapphirine is zoned and its composition varies through the substitution (Mg, Fe, Mn) Si=2 Al as a function of the phases with which it is in contact. Textural and chemical relationships of sapphirine with coexisting phases indicate that spinel + cordierite reacted to form orthopyroxene + sapphirine under conditions of increasing pressure. Moreover, decreasing core to rim variation of Al₂O₃ in orthopyroxene porphyroblasts suggests decreasing temperature during sapphirine formation. On the basis of experimentally determined P-T stability of the assemblage enstatite + sapphirine + cordierite, and the Al content of hypothetical Fe²⁺-free orthopyroxene associated with sapphirine and cordierite, metamorphic temperatures and pressures are estimated to be 860–890° C and 3.0–11.2 kbar.In the feldspar-sillimanite granulites, sapphirine occurs as a relict phase mantled by sillimanite and/or by successive coronas of sillimanite and garnet. These textural relations suggest the reaction sapphirine + garnet + quartz = orthopyroxene + sillimanite with decreasing temperature. Compositions of minerals in the assemblage garnet-orthopyroxene-sillimanite-plagioclase-quartz, indicate metamorphic P-T conditions of 780–880° C and 9±1 kb.The metamorphic conditions estimated in this study suggest that the sapphirine bearing granulites in the Sipiwesk Lake area represent Archean lower crustal rocks. Their formation might be related to the crustal thickening processes in this area as suggested by Hubregtse (1980) and Weber (1983).  相似文献   

Three-dimensional P- and S-wave velocity structures beneath the Japan Islands obtained by high-density seismic stations by seismic tomography   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Makoto Matsubara  Kazushige Obara  Keiji Kasahara 《Tectonophysics》2008,454(1-4):86-103

We construct fine-scale 3D P- and S-wave velocity structures of the crust and upper mantle beneath the whole Japan Islands with a unified resolution, where the Pacific (PAC) and Philippine Sea (PHS) plates subduct beneath the Eurasian (EUR) plate. We can detect the low-velocity (low-V) oceanic crust of the PAC and PHS plates at their uppermost part beneath almost all the Japan Islands. The depth limit of the imaged oceanic crust varies with the regions. High-V_P/V_S zones are widely distributed in the lower crust especially beneath the volcanic front, and the high strain rate zones are located at the edge of the extremely high-V_P/V_S zone; however, V_P/V_S at the top of the mantle wedge is not so high. Beneath northern Japan, we can image the high-V subducting PAC plate using the tomographic method without any assumption of velocity discontinuities. We also imaged the heterogeneous structure in the PAC plate, such as the low-V zone considered as the old seamount or the highly seismic zone within the double seismic zone where the seismic fault ruptured by the earthquake connects the upper and lower layer of the double seismic zone. Beneath central Japan, thrust-type small repeating earthquakes occur at the boundary between the EUR and PHS plates and are located at the upper part of the low-V layer that is considered to be the oceanic crust of the PHS plate. In addition to the low-V oceanic crust, the subducting high-V PAC plate is clearly imaged to depths of approximately 250 km and the subducting high-V PHS zone to depths of approximately 180 km is considered to be the PHS plate. Beneath southwestern Japan, the iso-depth lines of the Moho discontinuity in the PHS plate derived by the receiver function method divide the upper low-V layer and lower high-V layer of our model at depths of 30–50 km. Beneath Kyushu, the steeply subducting PHS plate is clearly imaged to depths of approximately 250 km with high velocities. The high-V_P/V_S zone is considered as the lower crust of the EUR plate or the oceanic crust of the PHS plate at depths of 25–35 km and the partially serpentinized mantle wedge of the EUR plate at depths of 30–45 km beneath southwestern Japan. The deep low-frequency nonvolcanic tremors occur at all parts of the high-V_P/V_S zone—within the zone, the seaward side, and the landward side where the PHS plate encounters the mantle wedge of the EUR plate. We prove that we can objectively obtain the fine-scale 3D structure with simple constraints such as only 1D initial velocity model with no velocity discontinuity.  相似文献   

Two-stage model for chemical evolution of galactic halo     

Yasuki Kumai  Yutaka Sabano  Makoto Tosa 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1988,143(2):257-268

We propose a model of chemical evolution of the galactic halo which consists of a succession of two different evolutionary stages; each stage is characterized by different outflow rate of gas from the star-forming region so that different metal-enrichment rate is resulted. The low-metal stars with [Fe/H]<–0.8 are formed mainly during the first 3×10⁸ yr, and most of the high-metal stars with [Fe/H]–0.8 are formed during the succeeding 2×10⁹ yr. This model naturally explains the metallicity distribution of globular clusters in the galactic halo including both the metal-rich and the metal-poor clusters. We also discuss the implications of the present model on the formation and evolution of the galactic halo.  相似文献

Atmospheric observations of liquid water in cloud and of chemical species in aerosols and gases near the ground and in fallen snow at Svalbard, Arctic     

Makoto Wada  Makoto Igarashi 《Atmospheric Research》1998,46(3-4)

Columnar observations of liquid water and of radar echo intensity in cloud were carried out, using a microwave radiometer and a vertically pointing radar respectively, in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. Chemical concentrations were also measured in aerosols, gases and snowfalls. Clouds with a large proportion of liquid water moved over the site after snow clouds, with a much lower liquid water content, had been present for about 16 h. The mass concentrations of most chemical species in snowfalls were lower from the first set of clouds than the second. The NO₃⁻ and SO₄²⁻ concentrations in gases and aerosols associated with the first set of clouds were higher than in the second set, but Cl⁻ concentration was less for the first set than the second.  相似文献   

Diopside-bearing EL6 EET 90102: insights from rare earth element distributions     

Christine Floss  Robert A Fogel  Makoto Kimura 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2003,67(3):543-555

EET 90102 is the first known diopside-bearing EL6 chondrite. Diopside occurs in most aubrites and is occasionally found as rare small grains in unequilibrated enstatite chondrites, but is unknown from equilibrated enstatite chondrites. We have carried out a study of the rare earth element (REE) distributions in EET 90102, with a specific emphasis on diopside, in order to better understand its origin in this meteorite. We also present data for Ca-rich pyroxenes from two unequilibrated (EH3) enstatite chondrites for comparison.Our data show that diopside and other silicates in EET 90102 exhibit volatility-related anomalies indicative of formation under highly reducing conditions. Such anomalies have not previously been observed in EL6 chondrites, although they are common in unequilibrated enstatite chondrites. Diopside in EET 90102 probably formed by metamorphic equilibration of enstatite and oldhamite. The REE compositions of some grains, in particular the presence of positive Yb anomalies, indicate that they inherited their REE characteristics largely from CaS. Other grains have REE patterns that are more consistent with a derivation of diopside primarily from enstatite.In contrast to other EL6 chondrites, which experienced slow cooling, EET 90102 was quenched from high metamorphic temperatures. Thus, there may have been insufficient time to completely homogenize diopside REE compositions.The presence of diopside in EET 90102 simplifies one outstanding problem of aubrite formation. Melting of a diopside-bearing enstatite chondrite protolith provides a source for the abundant diopside in aubrites without requiring the oxidation of oldhamite, as suggested by previous research.  相似文献   

Effects of temperature and chlorinity on the microdistribution ofFavella taraikaensis Hada (Ciliata) in Maizuru Bay     

Akihiko Kuwahara  Makoto Kashiwai  Masatosi Sinoda 《Journal of Oceanography》1975,31(3):109-114

Continuous sampling of the plankton with a pump sampler was carried out along a 960 m straight-line course in Maizuru Bay. The 25 collections of plankton were successively obtained at a depth of 1.5 m along the course, each of the collections covering a horizontal distance of 38 m. Vertical samplings of the plankton were done at five different depths (90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 cm) at 13 stations along the course. In both kinds of samplings temperature and chlorinity were measured.In the horizontal distribution ofF. taraikaensis, it was demonstrated that the counts of plankton had no correlation with the temperature and chlorinityin situ. There was a correlation between the counts and the differences of temperature and chlorinity between two successive sampling stations. It seemed thatF. taraikaensis was most abundant in the locations where the temperature difference was greater than +0.2C and the chlorinity difference was greater than +0.04 . This species was more abundant around the steep thermocline and the steep halocline. When the vertical profiles of temperature and chlorinity did not show steep gradients, this species was more abundant near the surface.  相似文献   

A Eulerian-Eulerian Physical-Biological Impact Model of Zooplankton Injury Due to CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Ocean Sequestration     

Baixin Chen  Yongchen Song  Masahiro Nishio  Makoto Akai 《Journal of Oceanography》2004,60(4):797-805

To study the biological impacts of CO₂ ocean sequestration on floating marine organisms, a full Eulerian-Eulerian scheme model has been developed in a large-eddy simulation (LES) version using one-way coupling of the equations of seawater flow to the transport equations of the bio-scalar variables. Special attention was paid to deriving the transport equation, involving non-conservative scalars to describe the degree of injury to floating organisms due to the change in the pH environment resulting from CO₂ dissolution. The source terms of the transport equations of bio-scalar variables are based on experimental data on zooplankton activities affected by lower pH seawater, allowing construction of empirical sub-models of three kinds of floating marine organisms: Gaidius variabilis, Paraeuchaeta Birostrata, and Multi-organisms. An example is given to show the applicability of the model to the assessment of the biological impact of CO₂ sequestration in the ocean. Given an initial CO₂ droplet diameter of 8.0 mm and an injection rate of 1.0 kg/sec, the model simulation predicts that the zooplanktons lose approximately 90% of their activity when the lowest pH inside the plume decreases from 7.57 to 5.61. These injured zooplanktons then recovered gradually to their normal state within two hours due to dilution of the plume. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
