The 1991–1993 eruption was probably the largest on Mt. Etna for 300 years. Since then the volcano has entered an unusually quiescent period. A comprehensive record of gravity and ground deformation changes presented here bracket this eruption and give valuable insight into magma movements before, during and after the eruption. The gravity and deformation changes observed before the eruption (1990–1991) record the intrusion of magma into the summit feeder and the SSE-trending fracture system which had recently been active in 1978, 1979, 1983 and 1989, creating the feeder dyke for the 1991–1993 eruption. In the summit region gravity changes between 1992 and 1993 (spanning the end of the eruption) reflect the withdrawal of magma from the conduit followed more recently (1993–1994) by the re-filling of magma in the conduit up to pre-eruption levels. In contrast, in the vicinity of the fracture zone, gravity has remained at the 1991–1992 level, indicating that no withdrawal has occurred here. Rather, magma has solidified in the fracture system and sealed it such that the 1993–1994 increase in magma level in the conduit was not accompanied by further intrusion into the flanks. Mass calculations suggest that a volume of at least 10⁷ m³ of magma has solidified within the southeastern flank of the volcano.  相似文献

华北克拉通中部古元古代高Mg低Ti-P镁铁质岩墙的富晶集地幔源区——锆石Hf同位素的制约     

韩宝福张磊  王亚妹宋彪 《岩石学报》2007,23(2):277-284

华北克拉通中部是古元古代岩墙群最为发育的地区.以镁铁质成分为主的岩墙群可以分为变质的和不变质的两类.不变质岩墙群是在1780～1760 Ma之间大约20 Ma时间内形成的,是华北克拉通古元古代最晚期镁铁质岩浆活动的产物.不变质岩墙又可以细分成高Mg-Ti低P、低Mg高Ti-P和高Mg低Ti-P等3组.本文报道了采自丰镇附近高Mg低Ti-P岩墙样品的锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成分析结果.新获得的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为1769±4 Ma,与其它不变质岩墙的锆石、斜锆石U-Pb年龄和^40Ar/^39Ar年龄的范围相同.高Mg低Ti-P岩墙的锆石εHf（t）值的变化范围在-6.4～＋0.4之间,平均值为-2.2,略高于时代相近的花岗质岩石.由于镁铁质岩浆在上升、侵位和结晶过程中几乎没有受到地壳物质混染,因而锆石εHf（t）值可以代表镁铁质岩浆的富集的岩石圈地幔源区的特征.文献资料显示,高Mg低Ti-P岩墙的岩石圈地幔源区的87Sr/86Sr初始比值为0.7040～0.7050,平均值为0.7046,εNd（t）值为-5.6～-2.8,平均值为-4.4.  相似文献

基性岩墙群是地壳伸展背景下,来自地幔的基性岩浆侵入体。华北克拉通同世界上其它克拉通一样,广泛发育前寒武纪基性岩墙群。它们在不同时代均有产生,其中1.75Ga前后的规模最大,分布范围最广,几乎遍布整个克拉通,对其进行深入研究,可以揭示华北克拉通该期构造演化过程。华北克拉通1.75Ga前后的岩墙几何形态多变,直立或近直立,走向主要为NNW向和近EW向。岩石以拉斑玄武质岩类占绝对优势(>80%),主要造岩矿物为单斜辉石和斜长石。根据岩墙走向、岩浆分异程度和岩石地球化学特征可将其分五组:低分异LT组、低分异HT组、高分异NW组、高分异EW组,以及具明显差异的高铁系列。同位素和微量元素研究显示,岩浆源区主要与富集Ⅰ型地幔(EMⅠ)、弱亏损的常规地幔(DM-PREMA)以及陆下岩石圈地幔有关。目前对华北克拉通1.75Ga基性岩墙群产出的构造环境在认识上有分歧,其中地幔柱观点和碰撞后伸展观点最为人们所关注。  相似文献

一些学者提出华北克拉通在新元古代早期之前与圣弗朗西斯科克拉通（圣弗朗西斯科-刚果克拉通）相邻,但缺少证据;本文总结两个古陆地质记录,为评价这一古构造格局模型提供线索。两个古陆陆壳生长的峰期均为～2.7 Ga前;不同之处是,华北古陆经历了显著的～2.5 Ga前的陆壳生长和改造,而圣弗朗西斯科克拉通则似乎没有。华北古陆2.4～2.2 Ga期间发育少量变质火山-沉积岩系和花岗岩,～2.1 Ga前后广泛发育裂谷火山-沉积建造及侵入岩,2.0～1.9 Ga发育超高温变质作用和类似弧岩浆活动,导致两个克拉通（东、西华北克拉通）拼合形成统一的华北古陆;同一时期,圣弗朗西斯科克拉通南、北缘发育2.4～2.0 Ga岩浆作用,指示长期处于大陆边缘弧或者岛弧背景,～2.0 Ga还发育超高温变质作用。两个古陆都发育～2.0 Ga前类似大陆边缘弧特点的岩浆活动,只是圣弗朗西斯科克拉通时代稍早。1.8 Ga以来,两个古陆均发育多期岩墙群,部分基本同期,如～1.78 Ga岩墙群、～1.7 Ga岩墙群和～0.92 Ga岩墙群等;不同的是,华北古陆发育约1.3～1.2 Ga岩床/墙群,而圣弗朗西斯克拉通发育～1.5 Ga岩墙群。1.8～0.8 Ga,两个古陆上都断续发育（火山）-沉积建造：1.8～1.6 Ga以及1.4～1.2 Ga,两者的沉积建造同样以石英砂岩等碎屑岩为主,碳酸盐岩较少;1.2～1.0 Ga前,两者的记录均较少,或暂不能确定;1.0～0.8 Ga,两者均发育碎屑岩和碳酸盐岩;1.6～1.4 Ga,华北古陆发育碳酸盐岩建造,而圣弗朗西斯科克拉通则发育碎屑岩建造。华北古陆新元古界地层中碎屑锆石常显示～1.5 Ga的峰值,该期岩浆岩鲜少报道于华北古陆,但却见于圣弗朗西斯科克拉通。两个陆块都发育太古宙-古元古代条带状铁建造铁矿、古元古代石墨矿、中新元古代沉积-喷流型铅锌矿等。不过,华北古陆发育的古元古代硼矿、菱镁矿,中元古代碳酸岩型稀土矿等在圣弗朗西斯科不发育;而后者发育的绿岩带型相关金矿、镍矿、祖母绿宝石矿等,华北似乎不发育。另外,0.7～0.5 Ga,圣弗朗西斯科克拉通周边广泛发育泛非期造山带,而华北古陆并没有这一事件的明确记录;显生宙,圣弗朗西斯科克拉通相对稳定,中生代与刚果克拉通分离;但华北古陆内部经历强烈的构造-岩浆活动（峰期在中生代）。华北与圣弗朗西斯科克拉通前寒武纪是否相邻还需进一步地质对比和古地磁工作,尤其应关注约2.0～1.9 Ga岩浆-变质（造山）事件、约1.8～1.7 Ga岩浆-沉积（裂谷）事件以及约0.9 Ga岩浆-沉积（裂谷）事件。从地质记录的相似性角度来看,华北东南缘与圣弗朗西斯科南缘的地质记录相似性最大,可延续性最强,最可能相邻。  相似文献   

Geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of four Palaeoproterozoic mafic dike swarms and associated large igneous provinces from the eastern Dharwar craton,India     

Rajesh K. Srivastava  Amiya K. Samal  Gulab C. Gautam 《International Geology Review》2015,57(11-12):1462-1484

Palaeoproterozoic mafic dike swarms of different ages are well exposed in the eastern Dharwar craton of India. Available U-Pb mineral ages on these dikes indicate four discrete episodes, viz. (1) ~2.37 Ga Bangalore swarm, (2) ~2.21 Ga Kunigal swarm, (3) ~2.18 Ga Mahbubnagar swarm, and (4) ~1.89 Ga Bastar-Dharwar swarm. These are mostly sub-alkaline tholeiitic suites, with ~1.89 Ga samples having a slightly higher concentration of high-field strength elements than other swarms with a similar MgO contents. Mg number (Mg#) in the four swarms suggest that the two older swarms were derived from primary mantle melts, whereas the two younger swarms were derived from slightly evolved mantle melt. Trace element petrogenetic models suggest that magmas of the ~2.37 Ga swarm were generated within the spinel stability field by ~15–20% melting of a depleted mantle source, whereas magmas of the other three swarms may have been generated within the garnet stability field with percentage of melting lowering from the ~2.21 Ga swarm (~25%), ~2.18 Ga swarm (~15–20%), to ~1.89 Ga swarm (~10–12%). These observations indicate that the melting depth increased with time for mafic dike magmas. Large igneous province (LIP) records of the eastern Dharwar craton are compared to those of similar mafic events observed from other shield areas. The Dharwar and the North Atlantic cratons were probably together at ~2.37 Ga, although such an episode is not found in any other craton. The ~2.21 Ga mafic magmatic event is reported from the Dharwar, Superior, North Atlantic, and Slave cratons, suggesting the presence of a supercontinent, ‘Superia’. It is difficult to find any match for the ~2.18 Ga mafic dikes of the eastern Dharwar craton, except in the Superior Province. The ~1.88–1.90 Ga mafic magmatic event is reported from many different blocks, and therefore may not be very useful for supercontinent reconstructions.  相似文献   

Submarine flank eruption preceding caldera subsidence during the 2000 eruption of Miyakejima Volcano, Japan

During the early part of a seismic swarm preceding eruption and caldera formation at Miyakejima Volcano, discoloured sea surfaces were observed 1.5 km off the western coast of Miyakejima on 27 June 2000. A later survey of the area using a multi-beam side scan sonar and a remotely operated small submarine revealed four craters of 20–30 m diameter aligned east-west in a 100×10–30 m area on the seafloor, with hot water at 140°C being released from one of the centres. Each crater consists of submarine spatter overlain in part by scoria lapilli. Dredged spatter from the craters was fresh, and there was no evidence of activity of marine organisms on the spatter surface, indicating that the discoloured sea surface resulted from magmatic eruption on the seafloor. This eruption occurred when a westward-propagating seismic swarm, initiated beneath Miyakejimas summit, passed through the area. Finding new magma on the seafloor demonstrates that this seismic swarm was associated with intruding magma, moving outward from beneath Miyakejima. Submarine spatter shows flattened shapes with a brittle crust formed by cooling in water, and its composition is aphyric andesite of 54 wt% SiO₂. The spatter is similar in whole rock and mineral composition to spatter erupted in 1983. However, the wide range of Cl in melt inclusions in plagioclase of the 27 June submarine spatter shows that it is not simply a remnant of the 1983 magma, which has only high Cl melt inclusions in plagioclase. The mixed character of melt inclusions suggests involvement of a magma with low Cl melt inclusions. The magma erupted explosively on 18 August from Miyakejimas summit, considered as the second juvenile magma in this eruption, contains low Cl melt inclusions in plagioclase. Based on these observations and the eruption sequence, we present the following model: (1) A shallow magma chamber was filled with a remnant of 1983 magma that had evolved to a composition of 54–55 wt% SiO₂. (2) Injection of the 18 August magma into this chamber generated a mixed magma having a wide range of Cl in melt inclusions contained plagioclase. The magma mixing might have occurred shortly before the submarine eruption and could have been a trigger for the initiation of the removal of magma from the chamber as an extensive dyke, which eventually led to caldera subsidence.Editorial responsibility: S Nakada, T Druitt  相似文献
