Mount Cameroon (4,095 m high and with a volume of ~1,200 km³) is one of the most active volcanoes in Africa, having erupted seven times in the last 100 years. This stratovolcano of basanite and hawaiite lavas has an elliptical shape, with over a hundred cones around its flanks and summit region aligned parallel to its NE--SW-trending long axis. The 1999 (28 March–22 April) eruption was restricted to two sites: ~2,650 m (site 1) and ~1,500 m (site 2). Similarly, in the eruption in 2000 (28 May–19 June), activity occurred at two sites: ~4,095 m (site 1) and ~3,300 m (site 2). During both eruptions, the higher vents were more explosive, with strombolian activity, while the lower vents were more effusive. Accordingly, most of the lava (~8×10⁷ m³ in 1999 and ~6×10⁶ m³ in 2000) was emitted from the lower sites. The 1999–2000 lavas are predominantly basanites with low Ni (5–79 ppm), Cr (40–161 ppm) and mg numbers (34–40). Olivine (Fo_77–85, phenocrysts and Fo_68–72, microlites), clinopyroxene (Wo₄₇En₄₁Fs₁₀ to Wo₅₁En₃₄Fs₁₅), plagioclase (An_49–67) and titanomagnetite are the principal phenocryst and groundmass phases. The lavas contain xenocrysts of olivine and clinopyroxene, which are interpreted as fragments of intrusive rocks disrupted by magma ascent. Major and trace element characteristics point to early fractionation of olivine. The clinopyroxenes (Al₂O₃ 1.36–7.83 wt%) have high Al^iv/Al^vi ratios (1.3–1.8) and are rich in TiO₂, characteristics typical of low pressure clinopyroxenes. Geochemical differences between the 1999–2000 lavas and those from previous eruptions, such as higher Nb/Zr of the former, suggest that different eruptions discharged magmas that evolved differently in space and time. Geophysical and petrological data indicate that these fractionated magmas originated just below the geophysical Moho (at 20–22 km) in the lithospheric mantle. During ascent, the magmas disrupted intrusions and earlier magma pockets. The main ascent path is below the summit, where newly arrived magma degasses. Degassed magma simultaneously intrudes the flank rift zones where most lava is extruded.An erratum to this article can be found at  相似文献   

Geochemistry of the Upper Neoproterozoic and Lower Cambrian siliciclastic rocks and U-Pb dating on detrital zircons in the Central Iberian Zone,Spain     

J.?M.?UgidosEmail author  K.?Billstr?m  M.?I.?Valladares  P.?Barba 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2003,92(5):661-676

Sandstones and shales from the Upper Neoproterozoic (UN) succession in the Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) show parallel REE patterns and relatively restricted and similar ranges and average values of some element ratios such as Al₂O₃/TiO₂, Ti/Nb, Eu/Eu*, (La/Yb)n, (Gd/Yb)n and Th/U. This remarkable geochemical homogeneity for related medium- and fine-grained rocks is unusual, and strongly suggests a recycled source area. However, the Lower Cambrian (LC) equivalent rocks are, in general terms, geochemically less mature, more heterogeneous and more fractionated. Their average REE patterns are practically coincident, probably as a consequence of REE redistribution related to the reworking of sediments during a stage of sea level fall in Lower Cambrian times. Ti and Zr abundances, chemical index of alteration (CIA) values and element ratios such as Al₂O₃/TiO₂, K/Rb, Ti/Nb and Rb/Zr can be used for discriminating purposes between the UN and LC siliciclastic rocks. Detrital zircons from a UN and a LC sandstone display morphological differences. However, U-Pb data are discordant and cannot be interpreted in a straightforward manner. Nevertheless, age data are compatible with a model in which the continent of Gondwana would have supplied zircons, showing a bimodal age distribution, in variable proportions to the respective sandstone units.  相似文献   

Environmental history of an urban lake: a palaeolimnological study of Lake Jyväsjärvi, Finland

Sedimentary diatom frustules and chironomid remains, in addition to the chemical stratigraphy of 32 elements and organic pollutants such as resin acids, PCB, DDT and its metabolites, were studied from core samples taken from Lake Jyväsjärvi in Central Finland (64° 14 N, 25° 47 E). The sediment profile covered over 200 years, with the oldest samples representing a period of very low human interference. The town of Jyväskylä was established on the lake shore in 1837, and the lake received untreated municipal wastewater from the town up until, 1977. A paper mill started operations in 1872 and began discharging effluent into Lake Jyväsjärvi. In recent years this effluent loading has been reduced. Based on the biological and chemical properties of the sediment strata, five developmental phases were distinguished and named as follows: (1) a pre-industrial phase (approximately up until the 1860s); (2) a phase of early changes in the lake ecosystem (from the 1870s to ca. 1940s); (3) a phase of increasing eutrophication (from ca. 1950 to ca. 1965); (4) a phase of severe pollution (from ca. 1966 to the early-1990s); and (5) a phase of recovery, which proceeded more quickly during the late-1990s following long-term hypolimnetic aeration. It was estimated that the ecological status of the lake changed from good to moderate during the second phase. Due to the poor chemical status of the lake (including increased concentrations of harmful substances) and the pronounced changes in diatom and chironomid communities, the ecological status from 1950 to the early-1990s was classified as bad. The present ecological status, after a slow recovery of about 20 years, can be classified as moderate/poor. Chemical analysis of the sediment revealed that some elements (C, N, P, S, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni and Zn) followed the known history of municipal waste water discharge into the lake, but Hg, Cr and persistent organic pollutants had different stratigraphies, and therefore mainly originated from other sources. Pronounced changes in profundal benthic communities (chironomids) started about 80 years later than those in diatoms, but later changes in chironomid assemblages were greater than those in diatoms.  相似文献

沿鲜水河断裂分布的折多山花岗岩由早期的中细粒花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩和略晚的主体似斑状二长花岗岩、少量的伟晶岩和细晶岩构成。早期中细粒二长花岗岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb同位素定年表明其侵位结晶于18±0．3Ma,使折多山花岗岩岩浆侵位结晶年龄和鲜水河断裂开始活动的时间提前近6Ma。岩石中保存有818±47Ma和156±8Ma的继承锆石．表明存在扬子西缘元古宙和中生代陆壳物质的再循环。在K_2O对SiO_2分类图上,早期的中细粒花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩落在钙碱性系列区域,似斑状二长花岗岩落在橄榄玄粗岩系列区域,两个系列岩石总体上为铝饱和到过饱和。中细粒花岗闪长岩具有中等的稀土总量(162×10~(-6)～224×10~(-6))、高的(La/Yb)_N(74～118)和明显的正Eu异常,大离子亲石元素富集,Nb、Ta、P和Ti亏损,形成于岛弧钙碱性火山岩低度部分熔融。中细粒二长花岗岩与花岗闪长岩的地球化学特征相似,只是稀土总量和(La/Yb)n较低,形成于杂砂岩部分熔融。主体岩性粗粒似斑状二长花岗岩具有很宽的稀土总量(最高达533×10~(-6)),(La/Yb)_N随着稀土总量增加而增加(最高达523),明显负Eu异常,大粒子亲石元素强烈富集,Nb、Ta、Sr、P和Ti亏损,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_0=0．7084～0．7133,ε_(Nd)(t)=-5．67～-8．69,形成于元古代上部陆壳物质—砂页岩的较低程度的部分熔融。各类岩石的地球化学特征表明,部分熔融源区的物质组成继承了元古代大陆边缘的某些地球化学特性,经历了高压变质作用,部分熔融残留相主要为石榴石等。部分熔融过程发生于鲜水河断裂早期活动的剪切熔融过程,岩浆作用之前可能发生过强烈挤压而产生了高压变质作用。  相似文献

宁中白云母二长花岗岩出露于拉萨地块中部,应用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb测年,得到锆石壳部加权平均年龄值分别为190±8Ma、193±7Ma和191±10Ma,代表成岩年龄,属早侏罗世侵入岩;核部的继承锆石年龄值大体可分为2部分:300～500Ma为古生代基底锆石;1000～1500Ma为元古宙基底锆石,个别测点得到2160Ma和2356Ma的古老年龄值,反映源岩比较复杂,并提供了拉萨地块存在中元古-古元古代结晶基底的年龄信息。岩石化学分析结果表明:白云母二长花岗岩的SiO_2为73．14%～78．12%、K_2O为3．42%～5．72%,K_2O＞Na_2 O,AL/CNK为1．22～1．42,刚玉标准分子含量为3．18%～4．69%,属典型的强过铝花岗岩。微量元素Rb含量特别高(410×10~(-6)～737×10~(-6)),Sr含量低(9．2×10~(-6)～49．0×10~(-6)),Ba含量低(20．8×10~(-6)～127×10~(-6));稀土总量低,∑REE为38．59×10~(-6)～97．84×10~(-6),铕亏损中等—强烈(δEu=0．22～0．62);同位素比值~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr为1．150900～0．861037,~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd为0．511879～0．511993,反映岩浆主要来自于上部地壳泥质岩石的部分熔融。宁中白云母二长花岗岩属于S型花岗岩,形成于同碰撞构造环境,成岩时代为早侏罗世,应属于冈底斯构造带印支造山旋回晚期碰撞阶段的产物,对它的综合研究有助于进一步认识和研究冈底斯构造带的历史和构造演化过程。  相似文献

对西藏曲珍过铝花岗岩的地球化学研究表明,岩石中SiO_2、Al_2O_3和K_2O的含量均很高,贫TiO_2和Fe_2O_3;SiO_2变化为72．72%～73．34%,为铝和硅过饱和类型,属典型的含白云母过铝质花岗岩(MPG)。稀土元素总量(∑REE)为99．71×10~(-6)-132．85×10~(-6),稀土元素配分曲线显示铕负异常明显,具负铈异常。Nb、P、Ti等高场强元素具有明显的负异常,而La、Nd、Y等大离子亲石元素具有明显的正异常。过铝指数图、微量元素标准化蛛网图、岩石组合R_1-R_2图解、Rb-(Y+Nb)和Nb-Y图解均指示曲珍岩体是产生于同碰撞环境的花岗岩,其定位机制与板片俯冲、碰撞后陆内调整有关。Sr和Nd同位素组成具非常负的ε_(Nd)(t)值(-14．8～-15．4)和非常老的Nd模式年龄,表明其来源可能是古老的上地壳物质,而ε_(Sr)(t)-ε_(Nd)(t)图解也支持其上地壳来源。岩体具有较高~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr初始比值(0．72699～0．73884)特征,据此推断曲珍过铝花岗岩成因是陆壳部分熔融作用产物。岩浆源区可能以粘土岩为主,砂质岩占次要地位,是成熟陆块部分熔融作用的结果。  相似文献   

吉林伊通-大屯地区晚中生代-新生代玄武岩的地球化学特征及其意义   总被引：12，自引：7，他引：12

吉林伊通-大屯地区有长达80Ma的火山喷发历史,为探讨该区深部地质演化提供了条件。从晚白垩长春大屯火山(92．5±0．5Ma)到伊舒地堑内第三纪伊通火山群(31Ma、9～15Ma),玄武岩碱性逐渐增强,Dy/Yb比值逐渐升高,根据地幔动态熔融模型计算获得的玄武岩最终形成深度由约50km变深至110km。根据岩石圈盖效应推测该区晚白垩纪以来岩石圈厚度逐渐增厚。伊通第三纪碱性玄武岩显示了均一的地球化学组成;类似洋岛玄武岩(OIB)的微量元素分配模式和Nb/U比值,以及低(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i、正ε_(Nd)(t)同位素特征暗示它主要来源于软流圈。与第三纪碱性玄武岩相比,晚白垩大屯拉斑玄武岩具有相对偏高的Ni、Cr和Sc,高Ba/Th、Rb/Nb、Ba/Nb比值,高(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i和低(~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd)_i。这些特征可能与软流圈熔体与古老富集地幔之间的相互反应有关。伊通-大屯玄武岩的演化特征反映了岩石圈在板内岩浆作用中所担当的不同角色:第三纪时,岩石圈并没有在物质上直接参与岩浆作用,但岩石圈对上涌软流圈起到了机械阻挡作用;而在晚白垩岩浆作用中,岩石圈的间接和直接作用都得到了体现。  相似文献   

西藏日喀则地区德村-昂仁蛇绿岩内基性岩的元素与Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学及其揭示的特提斯地幔域特征   总被引：4，自引：7，他引：4

系统研究了西藏雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带中部日喀则地区德村、吉丁和昂仁蛇绿岩中基性岩石的元素与 Sr-Nd-Pb 同位素地球化学特征。这些基性岩石,包括玄武岩、辉长岩和辉绿岩,属于低钾拉斑玄武岩系列,球粒陨石标准化稀土元素分配模式为轻稀土元素亏损的 N-MORB 型,(La/Yh)_N=0.31～0.65(除样品 DC993为1.17)。在原始地幔标准化微量元素图上,亏损高度不相容元素,与 N-MORB 配分模式一致。相对于 Th,无 Nb、Ta的亏损,显示样品不是产于 SSZ 环境。经构造环境图解判别,样品落入了 N-MORB 区域内;这些元素成分特征表明样品具有洋中脊环境或成熟的弧后盆地环境属性。Sr、Nd 和 Pb同位素组成特征表明特提斯地幔源区以 DM(亏损地幔)为主,同时存在少量 EMⅡ(富集地幔类型Ⅱ)、Sr,Nd 和 Pb 同位素组成特征还表明特提斯地幔域具有印度洋 MORB 型的 Sr-Nd-Pb 同位素组成特征。本文的结果进一步支持 Zhang et al.(2005)的研究结果,现今印度洋不仅在地理位置上占据了曾经是特提斯洋的大部分,而且它的地幔域还继承了曾经特提斯的地幔域的地球化学特征。  相似文献
