长白山天池火山粗面玄武岩的喷发历史与演化

本文新提出的年代学和岩石化学结果，进一步从天池火山与区域火山活动的关系，论述了天池火山造盾、造锥历史和岩浆结晶分异转型的时间约束，早更新世早期（2Ma前）开始粗面玄武岩的造盾，早更新世晚期（约1Ma）粗面玄武岩向粗安岩、粗面岩演化，中更新世是粗面岩造锥的主阶段，到了晚更新世（约0．1Ma）粗面岩向碱流岩演化。在中-晚更新世来自地壳岩浆房的粗面岩、碱流岩造锥过程中，来自地幔的粗面玄武岩浆喷发活动始终没有间断过。由于来自地幔粗面玄武质岩浆持续向地壳岩浆房补给，所以天池火山是一座长寿命的火山。岩浆的结晶分异作用和混合作用是天池火山岩浆演化的两个最重要过程，前者形成天池火山双峰式火山岩分布特征，后者成为天池火山喷发的触发机制。天池火山在晚更新世-全新世碱流质岩浆主喷发期兼有少量玄武质粗安岩、粗安岩或粗面质岩浆的交替喷出，揭示了天池火山的地壳岩浆房熔体的分层结构特点，由于来自地幔粗面玄武质岩浆注入地壳岩浆房，导致不同层位岩浆的扰动和混合作用，触发天池火山的喷发。

长白山火山活动历史、岩浆演化与喷发机制探讨

广义的长白山火山在我国境内包括著名的天池火山、望天鹅火山、图们江火山和龙岗火山,是我国最大的第四纪火山岩分布区。图们江火山和望天鹅火山活动都始于上新世,喷发活动分别介于上新世—中更新世（5.5~0.19 Ma）和上新世—早更新世（4.77 ~2.12 Ma）。天池火山和龙岗火山属于第四纪火山,喷发活动从早更新世（~2 Ma）持续到全新世。图们江火山岩为溢流式喷发的拉斑玄武岩,望天鹅火山、天池火山和龙岗火山母岩浆都是钾质粗面玄武岩,但经历了不同的演化过程。天池火山和望天鹅火山都经历了钾质粗面玄武岩造盾、粗面岩造锥和晚期碱性酸性岩浆（碱流岩和碱性流纹岩）的喷发;龙岗火山来自地幔的钾质粗面玄武岩浆则未经演化和混染直接喷出地表。图们江火山岩以溢流式喷发的拉斑玄武岩为主,少量玄武质粗安岩等。天池火山造盾之后,地壳岩浆房和地幔岩浆房具互动式喷发特点,来自地幔的钾质粗面玄武岩浆一方面在天池火山锥体内外形成诸多小火山渣锥,另一方面持续补给地壳岩浆房发生岩浆分离结晶作用和混合作用,分别导致双峰式火山岩分布特征和触发千年大喷发。火山岩微量元素和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素示踪揭示,长白山东（图们江火山、望天鹅火山和天池火山）、西（龙岗火山）两区显示地幔非均一性,东区岩浆源区具有软流圈地幔与富集岩石圈地幔混合特征,西区岩浆源区具有相对亏损的较原始地幔特征。西太平洋板块俯冲—东北亚大陆弧后引张是长白山火山活动的动力学机制。     

长白山天池火山千年大喷发的岩浆过程

千年大喷发是长白山天池火山最近的一次大规模爆炸式喷发活动。本文在天池火口及周边的地质调查中发现,千年大喷发存在碱流质和粗面质两套堆积物,且具有岩浆混合现象。进一步岩相学与地球化学研究,证实千年大喷发应存在先后两个喷发阶段,即碱流质喷发阶段(SiO_2,~75%)和粗面质喷发阶段(SiO_2,~65%)。同时,通过微量元素和斑晶特征等分析认为两阶段的岩浆来自于两个独立的岩浆房,岩浆房平衡温度分别为743℃和862℃,相应深度约为5km和7~9km。另外,根据条带状岩浆的混合特征,认为喷发过程中碱流质与粗面质岩浆混合发生在上升通道中,排除岩浆房内混合的可能性。最后根据喷发过程和岩浆特征,综合提出了千年大喷发的岩浆过程模型。本文对千年大喷发的喷发过程和岩浆过程取得的新认识,增进了对天池火山活动习性的理解。     

天池火山千年大喷发的岩浆混合作用与喷发机制初步探讨

根据岩浆演化和地球物理深部探测，天池火山之下存在地壳和地幔双层岩浆房。地幔玄武质岩浆向地壳岩浆房的补给，保持了天池火山逾百万年持续不断的喷发活动。本文从天池火山千年大喷发浮岩中的玄武质粗安岩一粗安岩角砾和条带状岩浆的岩相学、矿物学和岩石化学研究，提出地幔的粗面玄武质岩浆向地壳岩浆房的注入，触发千年大喷发，初步探讨了天池火山千年大喷发的岩浆混合作用与喷发机制。     

基于钻井温的长白山天池火山北坡浅部岩浆房赋存深度研究

长白山火山区地壳热结构尚未建立,目前基于地球物理探测手段获得的天池火山浅部岩浆房赋存深度存在差异.通过对天池火山北坡CZK07钻孔测温情况的研究,在资料评价与地温梯度计算的基础上,结合全新世岩浆房温度资料,估算了北坡浅部岩浆房的赋存深度.CZK07钻孔位于地球物理探测所推测的浅部岩浆房正上方,靠近历史时期火山喷发火口,在孔深约610 m处地温较高且稳定(102.5~106.8℃).连续测温资料显示,钻孔地温随深度呈一次正相关变化,地温梯度主要变化于134~178℃/km之间(平均为153℃/km),可大致代表浅部岩浆房上覆地壳的地温梯度.基于前人浅部岩浆房的温度研究,本次定量估算的天池火山北坡浅部岩浆房的赋存深度,为天池水面下5.25~7.21 km,与地球物理探测的反演结果相近.     

长白山天池火山粗面岩成因与岩浆房系统演化

长白山天池火山是典型的大陆板内碱性火山,岩石组合以玄武岩盾和粗面岩、碱流岩等碱性岩为主。为厘清天池火山粗面岩的形成过程,本文在综合前人研究的基础上,结合本文新发表数据,检验了粗面岩的成因。研究结果显示天池火山粗面岩不可能由古老的华北克拉通下地壳部分熔融形成,也不符合造盾玄武岩部分熔融的模式。通过主量元素、微量元素定性和定量计算后认为粗面岩是由进化玄武质岩浆(玄武粗安岩)经历了分离结晶作用所形成,粗面岩形成过程中岩浆遭受了地壳混染,并且具有高n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)和低n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)两种截然不同的混染趋势。结合岩相和层序信息,作者认为两种演化趋势是上地壳岩浆房系统变化的反映。早期玄武质岩(头道白山期)上侵至上地壳演化,因与上地壳直接接触,沿高n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)趋势演化。随着岩浆房接受补给,岩浆房逐渐增大,新侵入的岩浆与地壳被早期岩浆房结晶形成的岩浆房壁所隔挡,使得年轻粗面岩和碱流岩只与早期粗面质岩浆的残留体等进行物质交换,最终沿着低Sr同位素比值趋势演化。     

熔体包裹体对长白山天池火山千年大喷发的指示意义

长白山天池火山在全新世曾有过几次喷发,其中距今约1000年发生过大规模布里尼式爆炸喷发（即“千年大喷发”）,其喷发产物——灰白色碱流质浮岩和喷发柱垮塌形成的火山碎屑流分布范围极广,除长白山区外,在朝鲜半岛和日本北部也有大量浮岩降落和堆积。根据野外较大范围的系统采样、镜下观察和测试分析,在天池火山千年大喷发产物的碱性长石晶屑中发现了两组颜色、形态、化学成分迥异的“火口组”和“圆池组”熔体包裹体,对揭示天池火山千年大喷发的成因具有重要意义。根据电子探针分析结果,“火口组”熔体包裹体成分为英安岩和粗面英安岩,寄主晶多为透长石;“圆池组”熔体包裹体成分为粗面英安岩和流纹岩,寄主晶为歪长石。相对“火口组”熔体包裹体,“圆池组”包裹体具有高SiO2、高H2O和高Cl含量的特点,化学成分也更为演化,可能是天池火山千年大喷发时岩浆结晶分异后期的产物。两组包裹体的存在为千年大喷发前的层状地壳岩浆房和成分并非单一提供了证据,它们可能是在同次大喷发的不同序列中喷出的。由于地幔岩浆注入地壳岩浆房,导致不同层位岩浆的扰动和混合作用,因挥发分出溶在岩浆房最顶部形成挥发分梯度和过饱和,最终触发了天池火山的千年大喷发,对当时的气候环境造成过较大影响。     

长白山天池火山的岩石矿物学特征——对结晶分异过程和岩浆混合作用的启示

本文对天池火山玄武岩盾,粗面质-碱流质层状锥体以及顶部的粗面质-碱流质碎屑岩类及熔岩的岩石矿物成分做了系统分析,发现在玄武岩类中的主要矿物组合为斜长石、富钙辉石以及富镁橄榄石,而粗面岩-碱流岩类的主要矿物组合为碱性长石、富铁的辉石及橄榄石,并开始出现石英、独居石以及大量的铁钛氧化物,符合结晶分异的演化趋势。同时在玄武岩类及粗面-碱流岩类中均存在不平衡矿物,再结合矿物环带的成分变化、矿物的熔蚀现象及不同特征的岩石条带等,认为天池火山在黑石沟玄武岩、第一、三造锥阶段粗面岩以及千年大喷发的浮岩中均存在岩浆混合作用。根据岩石学及年代学等特征,认为不同时期的玄武质岩浆来自同一地幔源区,经不同程度的结晶分异作用形成,前造锥阶段及造锥阶段的岩石由不同阶段的玄武岩演化而来,全新世的碱流岩类则由造锥阶段粗面岩类演化而来。     

Modeling the multi-level plumbing system of the Changbaishan caldera from geochemical,mineralogical, Sr-Nd isotopic and integrated geophysical data

Changbaishan, an intraplate volcano, is characterized by an approximately 6 km wide summit caldera and last erupted in 1903. Changbaishan experienced a period of unrest between 2002 and 2006. The activity developed in three main stages, including shield volcano(basalts), cone-construction(trachyandesites to trachytes with minor basalts), and caldera-forming stages(trachytes to comendites). This last stage is associated with one of the more energetic eruptions of the last millennium on Earth, the 946 CE, VEI 7 Millennium Eruption(ME),which emitted over 100 km3 of pyroclastics. Compared to other active calderas, the plumbing system of Changbaishan and its evolution mechanisms remain poorly constrained. Here, we merge new whole-rock,glass, mineral, isotopic, and geobarometry data with geophysical data and present a model of the plumbing system. The results show that the volcano is characterized by at least three main magma reservoirs at different depths: a basaltic reservoir at the Moho/lower crust depth, an intermediate reservoir at 10–15 km depth, and a shallower reservoir at 0.5–3 km depth. The shallower reservoir was involved in the ME eruption, which was triggered by a fresh trachytic melt entering a shallower reservoir where a comenditic magma was stored. The trachytes and comendites originate from fractional crystallization processes and minor assimilation of upper crust material, while the less evolved melts assimilate lower crust material. Syn-eruptive magma mingling occurred during the ME eruption phase. The magma reservoirs of the caldera-forming stage partly reactivate those of the cone-construction stage. The depth of the magma storage zones is controlled by the layering of the crust.The plumbing system of Changbaishan is vertically extensive, with crystal mush reservoirs renewed by the replenishment of new trachytic to trachyandesitic magma from depth. Unlike other volcanoes, evidence of a basaltic recharge is lacking. The interpretation of the signals preceding possible future eruptions should consider the multi-level nature of the Changbaishan plumbing system. A new arrival of magma may destabilize a part of or the entire system, thus triggering eruptions of different sizes and styles. The reference model proposed here for Changbaishan represents a prerequisite to properly understand periods of unrest to potentially anticipate future volcanic eruptions and to identify the mechanisms controlling the evolution of the crust below volcanoes.     

中国年轻火山岩铀钍(U-Th)非平衡研究进展

本文简述近些年中国年轻火山岩的铀钍非平衡研究进展.中国东部(五大连池,天池,镜泊湖,龙岗,大兴安岭,海南岛)的年轻火山岩都显示显著的230Th过剩,表明岩浆来源于含石榴子石的深部地幔,并且部分熔融速率低.其中五大连池主要来自深部(≥75km)的岩石圈地幔,天池、镜泊湖、龙岗和大兴安岭岩浆主要来自软流圈地幔,而海南岛火山岩则显示下地慢特征.中国东部年轻火山岩中U-Th非平衡并没有显示俯冲的太平洋板块对年轻火山岩的物质贡献.我们近来发现年轻火山岩中含有锆石.长白山天池火山岩千年喷发的碱流岩中的锆石U-Th等时线年龄为7～10ka.腾冲马鞍山的锆石表面U-Th等时线年龄为55ka,而锆石内部年龄是90ka.锆石年龄可能表明,相对于腾冲马鞍山的小喷发,大喷发的长白山天池火山岩浆滞留年龄短.长白山天池火山的很短的滞留时间表明其存在危险性.     

A detailed Th,Sr and O isotope study of Hekla: differentiation processes in an Icelandic Volcano

²³⁸U–²³⁰Th disequilibria and Sr and O isotope ratios have been measured in a suite of samples from most of the known prehistoric and historic eruptions of Hekla volcano, Iceland. They cover the compositional range from basaltic andesite to rhyolite. Recent basalts erupted in the vicinity of the volcano and a few Pleistocene basalts have also been studied. Geochemical data indicate that the best tracers of magmatic processes in Hekla are the (²³⁰Th/²³²Th) and Th/U ratios. Whereas most geochemical parameters, including Sr, Nd and O isotopes, could be compatible with crystal fractionation, (²³⁰Th/²³²Th) and Th/U ratios differ in the basalts and basaltic andesites (1.05 and 3.2, respectively) and in the silicic rocks, dacites and rhyolites (0.98 and 3.4–3.7, respectively). This observation precludes fractional crystallization as the main differentiation process in Hekla. On the basis of these results, the following model is proposed: basaltic magmas rise in the Icelandic crust and cause partial melting of metabasic rocks, leading to the formation of a dacitic melt. The basaltic magma itself evolves by crystal fractionation and produces a basaltic andesite magma. The latter can mix with the dacitic liquid to form andesites. At higher levels in the magma chamber, the dacitic melt sometimes undergoes further differentiation by crystal fractionation and produces subordinate volumes of rhyolites. Together all these processes lead to a zoned magma chamber. However, complete zoning is achieved only when the repose time between eruptions is long enough to allow the production of significant volumes of dacitic magma by crustal melting. This situation corresponds to the large plinian eruptions. Between these eruptions, the so-called intra-cyclic activity is characterized by the eruption of andesites and basaltic andesites, with little crustal melting. The magmatic system beneath Hekla most probably was established during the Holocene. The shape and the size of the magma chamber may be inferred from the relationships between the composition of the lavas and the location of the eruption sites. In a cross-section perpendicular to Hekla's ridge, a bell-shaped reservoir 5 km wide and 7 km deep appears the most likely; its top could be at depth of 8 km according to geophysical data.     

Differentiation Mechanism and Evolution of High-level Magma Chamber at Xiangshan,China

The calc-alkaline volcanic magmas,which formed the Mesozoic uraniferous volcanic complex of Xiangshan,resulted from partial melting of the mixture of lower crust and enriched mantle with a high mixing proportion in a specific tectonic setting such as active continental margin or ocean-continent collision zone.The preliminary concentrations of Uand Th occur in low-degree par-tial melts.Only small part of these melts was rapidly extracted and erupted and most intruded into the high-level magma chamber(depth:12-13 km) of the compressed upper lithosphere ,in which occurred a strong differentiation which would resulted in strong preconcentrations of the high-hygromagmaphile elements U and Th associated with strong depletion of the 3-d transition ele-ments Ti,Sc,Co,Zr,etc.At the final stage of subduction of the West-Pacific-Kula plate towards the Asian continental plate,the regional tectonic environment was transformed from a compressive in-to a tensional setting.The strongly differentiated,U(and Th) enriched silicic alkalic magmas in high level magma chamber extensively erupted,extruded and intruded.The hydrothermal fluids released as a result of late volcano-degassing and dewatering during crystallization-solidification of magmas,re-sulted in the remobilization,leaching,migration and reconcentration of uranium ,which had been preconcentrated in volcanic rocks.Therefore,specific regional petrogeochemical criteria are expected for the uraniferous volcanic series.     

Origin of the Felsic and Basaltic Dikes and Flows in the Rajula-Palitana-Sihor Area of the Deccan Traps,Saurashtra, India: A Geochemical and Geochronological Study

Rhyolite, trachyte, pitchstone, and granophyre dikes are associated with mafic dolerite dikes and basaltic flows of the northwestern part of the Deccan flood basalt province in the Saurashtra Peninsula, India. Felsic dikes, exposed in the Rajula area of Saurashtra, are similar in age to the basaltic flows of neighboring Palitana. The ages of both the felsic and mafic rocks straddle the ~65 Ma Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary and correspond to the main Deccan flood basalt episode. Palitana is centered on an elongated gravity high whose major axis is NE-SW, and Rajula is located on its southwestern flank. Unlike the younger Bombay felsic rocks from the western coast of India, which have been explained as partial melts of gabbros in deep crustal sills or previously erupted basalts, the incompatible-element characteristics of the Rajula rocks indicate that the Rajula rhyolites, trachytes, and dacites may have been generated by an almost complete melting of upper crustal rocks at the southwestern flank of the Rajula-Palitana-Sihor magmatic body. High potential temperatures of the Deccan plume, quick migration of the hot basaltic parent magma through lithospheric weak trends, and collection and residence of magma in upper-crustal magma chambers before eruption may have produced the right conditions to melt the upper crust in the vicinity of the Rajula-Palitana-Sihor magma chamber. On the other hand, the andesite located northeast of the magmatic body possibly evolved by assimilation of upper-crustal wall rocks accompanied by 5-10% crystallization of a Rajula-type basalt near the wall of the magma chamber. The Sihor rhyolites may also have been derived from the Sihor basalts through fractional crystallization accompanied by crustal assimilation. The Rajula granophyres, however, do not show any involvement of the upper crust in their genesis. These may have a history similar to that of the Bombay rocks and may have erupted in response to rifting along the Cambay rift.     

Evolution of the Miocene Tejeda magmatic system,Gran Canaria,Canary Islands

This paper is a companion to Clark (1988; hereafter Part I) which described the evolution of the Tejeda Magmatic System (TMS), a Miocene caldera complex, Gran Canaria, Spain, based on geochronologic, paleomagnetic and field data. In this study, petrochemical data are used to corroborate the history out-lined in Part I. Geochemical discriminant analysis shows that whereas the Extra-Caldera (EC) Mogan/Fataga volcanics are separated by a composition gap, no composition gap exists within the Intra-Caldera (IC) sequence. IC ignimbrites change rapidly but progressively from pantellerites and comendites to comenditic trachytes and finally to trachytes in a 0.47 Ma time interval. Significantly, the lower pantelleritic part of the IC series is similar to the EC pantellerites (units B, C and D) as expected based on results from Part I. The appearance of a compositional gap in the EC sequence is the result of flows having been trapped within the caldera during the 0.47 Ma Mogan-Fataga transition interval. The transitional IC sequence may be geochemically modelled by mixing of Mogan comendites and Fataga trachytes. The mixing was most probably induced by the high discharge of magma from the compositionally-zoned Tejeda magma body. The rate of change in erupted composition is best explained by imagining a continuous influx of Fataga or parental Fataga magma into a chamber whose previous silicic component (Mogan composition) was no longer being replenished and that the two magmas did not convectively mix prior to eruption. Repose times between successive eruptions in the lower to middle Mogan (from P1/T1 to A) were of order 30 000 a; the upper Mogan pantellerites and comendites/comenditic trachytes (B to F?) erupted once every 125 000 years or so. The longer repose time for the upper units is consistent with their more differentiated character.
