Pyroxmangite: Stability in H2O-CO2 mixtures at a total pressure of 2000 bars     

Tj. Peters 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1971,32(4):267-273

The curve of the reaction: 1 Rhodochrosite + 1 Quartz Pyroxmangite was determined experimentally using gas mixtures with different CO₂H₂O ratios at a total pressure of 2 kb. In pure CO₂, the equilibrium temperature is 508±2° C. By plotting the equilibrium data in terms of InX_CO2 versus reciprocal temperature, a H of reaction of 51.7 kcal was obtained. This plot shows a straight-line relationship, indicating internal consistency of the data, and is in good agreement with previous findings that CO₂ and H₂O mix ideally within the investigated temperature range (400–600° C). When applied to pyroxmangites formed during moderate greenschist facies metamorphism, these data indicate a high acitivity of H₂O.  相似文献

Dendrochronology for the last 1400 years in eastern Tibet   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

Achim Bräuning 《GeoJournal》1994,34(1):75-95

Twentyfour tree-ring chronologies of various tree-species(Picea, Abies, Larix, Juniperus) from sites near the upper timberline in eastern Tibet were established, the longest one dating back to 620 A.D. A new classification of pointer intervals is presented, distinguishing between different kinds of signatures in a tree-ring series and amount of growth change in relation to the previous year. The various types of signatures can be related to meteorological events like cold winters and summers, summer drought or to recreation reactions after years of reduced growth. The distribution pattern and type of pointer intervals combined with ring width variation enables the detection of periods of favourable or unfavourable growth conditions with regard to climate history. Based on far-distance correlations and signature analysis regions of similar tree-growth are mapped out.  相似文献   

K-Ar ages of the metamorphic sole of the Semail Ophiolite: implications for ophiolite cooling history     

Edwin Gnos  Tjerk Peters 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1993,113(3):325-332

K–Ar ages have been determined on micas and hornblendes in the basal metamorphic sequence and in metamorphic rocks squeezed into the mantle sequence of the Semail Ophiolite. The hornblende ages of 99±0.5 and 102±0.8 Ma and the 90 Ma ages of coexisting micas from the high-grade metamorphic portion of the sequence are interpreted as cooling stages following the peak of metamorphism (T 800–850° C, P 6.5–9 kbar). The new pressure estimates are based on findings of kyanite in garnet-amphibolite and cordierite in quartzitic rocks. These data indicate a cooling rate of 10–30° C/Ma. The oldest mica ages of 95±1 Ma are observed in the lowest-grade greenschists. These also largely represent cooling ages, but might in part also include formation ages. The pattern of the muscovite ages across the metamorphic sole indicates that the cooling front moved from the low-grade metamorphic zone, through the high-grade rocks and into the base of the overlying ophiolite. Radiometric ages of hornblendes (92.3±0.5 and 94.8±0.6 Ma) indicate that the crustal gabbro sequence cooled below 500° C later than the base of the ophiolite sequence. Metamorphism of the sole rocks occurred during subduction of oceanic sediments and volcanic or gabbroic rocks as they progressively came into contact with hotter zones at the base of the overriding plate. The peak of metamorphism must have been contemporaneous with the main magmatism in the Semail Ophiolite. One of the dated muscovites yields an age of 81.3±0.8 Ma, but this is related to discrete deformation zones that were active during late-stage emplacement of the ophiolite.  相似文献   

Nucleation and growth rates of homogeneously condensing water vapor in argon from shock tube experiments     

F. Peters  B. Paikert 《Mineralium Deposita》1993,28(4):521-530

A special shock tube process combining a reflected expansion wave with a weak shock wave is analyzed and calibrated. The process is employed to transfer water vapor carried in argon into a known supersaturated state for a short period of time (0.5 ms). During that period steady state homogeneous nucleation takes place followed by condensational growth. Nucleation and growth rates are measured by a 90° Mie-light scattering technique in the temperature range 200–260 K. The results are compared with existing theoretical models.  相似文献   

Bioaccumulation and histopathological effects of oil on a stony coral     

Esther C. Peters  Philip A. Meyers  Paul P. Yevich  Norman J. Blake 《Marine pollution bulletin》1981,12(10):333-339

Colonies of the shallow-water Caribbean coral Manicina areolata incorporated petroleum hydrocarbons into their tissues during exposure to water accommodated fractions of No. 2 fuel oil for three months. This contamination was not removed after depuration periods of up to two weeks. Although these corals remained alive, evidence of pathological responses was found which included impaired development of reproductive tissues, degeneration and loss of symbiotic zooxanthellae, and atrophy of mucous secretory cells and muscle bundles.  相似文献   

Manganese pyroxenoids and carbonates: Critical phase relations in metamorphic assemblages from the Alps     

Tj. Peters  V. Trommsdorff  J. Sommerauer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1978,66(4):383-388

The compositions of coexisting pyroxmangites, rhodonites, rhodochrosites and manganese calcites in regional metamorphosed manganese cale-silicate marbles from Val Scerscen and Alagna were analysed by microprobe and permit definition of critical tie lines at metamorphic grades appropriate to temperatures between 400 and 450 °C.Variations in composition of coexisting mineral pairs in one and the same locality are attributed to variations in and not to metamorphic temperatures. From the analysed assemblages isothermal plots (with SiO₂ as excess component) were constructed for the system CaO-MnO-SiO₂-CO₂.  相似文献   

Stabilitätsbeziehungen zwischen Chlorit,Cordierit und Almandin bei der Metamorphose     

Dr. Achim Hirschberg  Helmut G. F. Winkler 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1968,18(1):17-42

The stability relations between cordierite and almandite in rocks, having a composition of CaO poor argillaceous rocks, were experimentally investigated. The starting material consisted of a mixture of chlorite, muscovite, and quartz. Systems with widely varying Fe²⁺/Fe²⁺+Mg ratios were investigated by using two different chlorites, thuringite or ripidolite, in the starting mixture. Cordierite is formed according to the following reaction: $${\text{Chlorite + muscovite + quartz}} \rightleftharpoons {\text{cordierite + biotite + Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SiO}}_{\text{5}} + {\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}$$ . At low pressures this reaction characterizes the facies boundary between the albite-epidotehornfels facies and the hornblende-hornfels facies, at medium pressures the beginning of the cordierite-amphibolite facies. Experiments were carried out reversibly and gave the following equilibrium data: 505±10°C at 500 bars H₂O pressure, 513±10°C at 1000 bars H₂O pressure, 527±10°C at 2000 bars H₂O pressure, and 557±10°C at 4000 bars H₂O pressure. These equilibrium data are valid for the Fe-rich starting material, using thuringite as the chlorite, as well as for the Mg-rich starting mixture with ripidolite. At 6000 bars the equilibrium temperature for the Mg-rich mixture is 587±10°C. In the Fe-rich mixture almandite was formed instead of cordierite at 6000 bars. The following reaction was observed: $${\text{Thuringite + muscovite + quartz}} \rightleftharpoons {\text{almandite + biotite + Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SiO}}_{\text{5}} {\text{ + H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}$$ . Experiments with the Fe-rich mixture, containing Fe²⁺/Fe²⁺+Mg in the ratio 8∶10, yielded three stability fields in a P,T-diagram (Fig.1):

1. Above 600°C/5.25 kb and 700°C/6.5 kb almandite+biotite+Al₂SiO₅ coexist stably, cordierite being unstable.
2. The field, in which almandite, biotite and Al₂SiO₅ are stable together with cordierite, is restricted by two curves, passing through the following points:
   1. 625°C/5.5 kb and 700°C/6.5 kb,
   2. 625°C/5.5 kb and 700°C/4.0 kb.
3. At conditions below curves 1 and 2b, cordierite, biotite, and Al₂SiO₅ are formed, but no garnet.

An appreciable MnO-content in the system lowers the pressures needed for the formation of almandite garnet, but the quantitative influence of the spessartite-component on the formation of almandite could not yet be determined. the Mg-rich system with Fe²⁺/Fe²⁺+Mg=0.4 garnet did not form at pressures up to 7 kb in the temperature range investigated. Experiments at unspecified higher pressures (in a simple squeezer-type apparatus) yielded the reaction: $${\text{Ripidolite + muscovite + quartz}} \rightleftharpoons {\text{almandite + biotite + Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SiO}}_{\text{5}} {\text{ + H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}$$ . Further experiments are needed to determine the equilibrium data. The occurence of garnet in metamorphic rocks is discussed in the light of the experimental results.  相似文献   

High pressure single-crystal synthesis, structure and compressibility of the garnet Mn2+ 3Mn3+ 2[SiO4]3     

T. Arlt  T. Armbruster  R. Miletich  P. Ulmer  T. Peters 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,26(2):100-106

Single crystals of the garnet Mn²⁺ ₃Mn³⁺ ₂[SiO₄]₃ and coesite were synthesised from MnO₂-SiO₂ oxide mixtures at 1000°C and 9 GPa in a multianvil press. The crystal structure of the garnet [space group Ia3¯d, a=11.801(2) Å] was refined at room temperature and 100 K from single-crystal X-ray data to R1=2.36% and R1=2.71%, respectively. In contrast to tetragonal Ca₃Mn³⁺ ₂[GeO₄]₃ (space group I4₁/a), the high-pressure garnet is cubic and does not display an ordered Jahn-Teller distortion of octahedral Mn³⁺. A disordered Jahn-Teller distortion either dynamic or static is evidenced by unusual high anisotropic displacement parameters. The room temperature structure is characterised by following bond lengths: Si-O=1.636(4) Å (tetrahedron), Mn³⁺-O=1.995 (4) Å (octahedron), Mn²⁺-O=2.280(5) and 2.409(4) Å (dodecahedron). The cubic structure was preserved upon cooling to 100 K [a=11.788(2) Å] and upon compressing up to 11.8 GPa in a diamond-anvil cell. Pressure variation of the unit cell parameter expressed by a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state led to a bulk modulus K ₀=151.6(8) GPa and its pressure derivatives K′=6.38(19). The peak positions of the Raman spectrum recorded for Mn²⁺ ₃Mn³⁺ ₂[SiO₄]₃ were assigned based on a calderite Mn²⁺ ₃Fe³⁺ ₂[SiO₄]₃ model extrapolated from andradite and grossular literature data.  相似文献   

Deep-sea sediments in the eastern equatorial Atlantic off the African coast and meteorological flow patterns over the Sahel     

Gerd Tetzlaff  Manno Peters 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1986,75(1):71-79

Deep-sea mineral dust deposits are a powerful tool allowing to deduct atmospheric flow patterns. Here deep-sea sediments from the eastern tropical Atlantic were used to derive climatic conditions over the African continent where in summer the dust is lifted in the transition zone of the Sahara and the Sahel. The meteorological process causing this aeolian dust injection are the squall lines, the rain bearing disturbances of the Sahel. They produce a high surface wind velocity area in their northern vicinity. The deep-sea deposits of sediments and their spatial patterns allowed to conclude that the dust raising mechanism connected with the squall lines were similar for present day conditions and for the time of the last glacial maximum. The Saharan trades and the African monsoon had about the same extension in either time slice coupled with an identical travel belt of the squall lines. However, the intensity and the frequency of the squall lines were lower in glacial times.

Zusammenfassung Tiefseesedimente liefern interessante und wertvolle Aufschlüsse über atmosphärische Strömungsbedingungen. Hier werden die Sedimente aus dem Gebiet des östlichen tropischen Nordatlantiks verwendet, um klimatische Angaben über die Strömungsverhältnisse über dem afrikanischen Kontinent zu gewinnen, da die Quelle des Staubes auf dem Kontinent im Übergangsbereich zwischen der Sahara und dem Sahel zu suchen ist. Die meteorologische Ursache des systematischen Staubeintrages in die Atmosphäre sind die regenbringenden sommerlichen Störungen des Sahel («>squall lines»<), die in ihrem nördlichen Randbereich ein Gebiet hoher Windgeschwindigkeit am Boden aufweisen, so daß es hier regelmäßig zu Staubaufwirbelungen kommt. Mit Hilfe der räumlichen und zeitlichen Verteilung der Tiefseesedimente konnte schon früher gezeigt werden, daß während der Periode des letzten Hochglazials die Lage der Grenzzone zwischen Passat und afrikanischem Monsun sich im Vergleich zur Gegenwart nicht verändert hat. Hier wird nun zusätzlich deutlich, daß sowohl die Intensität als auch die Frequenz der «>squall lines»< zum Höhepunkt der Vereisung geringer was als heute.

Résumé Les sédiments amenés par le vent dans les mers profondes fournissent de précieuses indications sur la distribution des courants atmosphériques. Dans cette note, les sédiments de la partie orientale de l'Atlantique tropical sont examinés en vue de déduire les conditions climatiques régnant sur le continent africain, où la source de la poussière est située entre le Sahara et le Sahel. En effet, l'origine météorologique des apports éoliens sont les pertubations pluvieuses (lignes de grains) qui sont accompagnées sur leur bordure nord de vents de grande vitesse au sol. La distribution des sédiments sur le fond océanique a déjà permis de conclure que le mécanisme de transport était, lors de la dernière glaciation (18.000 ans), semblable à ce qu'il est aujourd'hui. Toutefois, l'intensité et la frequence des perturbations étaient plus faibles qu'aujourd'hui.
