εNd—La／Nb,Ba／Nb,Nb／Th图对地幔不均一性研究的意义──岛弧火山岩分...

本文提出一组εＮｄ－Ｌａ／Ｎｂ，εＮｄ－Ｂａ／Ｎｂ和εＮｄ－Ｎｂ／Ｔｈ图。在这些图中岛弧火山岩呈三角形分布，从而将其源区的三个主要端元（ＭＯＲＢ型亏损地幔，俯冲洋壳析出流体，陆源沉积物）同时显示在一张图上。据此，岛弧火山岩可根据其源区特征划分成两类：二端元型（无陆源沉积物）和三端元型。此外，ＥＭＩＩ型幔源岩石在这些图中也被分成两类：与岛弧火山岩类似的，具有高Ｌａ／Ｎｂ，Ｂａ／Ｎｂ和低Ｎｂ／Ｔｈ的大     

Implications of εNd—La／Nb,Ba／Nb,Nb／Th Diagrams to Mantle Heterogeneity—Classification of Island—arc Basalts and Decomposition of EMII Component

A group of εNd/Nb,Ba/Nb,Nb/Th diagrams are used to study mantle heterogeneity.Island-arc basalts(IAB) are distributed in a triangle of these diagrams. Three end-member components (the MORB-type depleted mantle, the fluid released from subducted oceanic crust and the sediments from the continental crust) of the source of IAB may be displayed in these diagrams. Two types of IAB are identified .They are of the two-component type (with little continental sediments), such as the basalts from Aletians and New Britain ,and the three-compeonent type, such as those from Sunda, Lesser Antilles and Andes. In addition ,the EMII type mantle-derived rocks may also be divided into two groups. One is exemplified by continental flood basalts and some peridotite xenoliths, similar to IAB, with high La/Nb and Ba/Nb and low Nb/Th ratios, The other includes the Samoa-type oceanic island basalts, with low La/Nb and Ba/Nb and high Nb/Th ratios. The corresponding two sub-components of EMII are EMIIM, which is related to the metasomatism of lithosphere mantle by fluids released from the subducted oceanic crust, and EMIISR, related to the intervention of recycling continental sediments into the convective mantle.
