Formation and upwelling of mantle diapirs through the cratonic lithosphere: Numerical thermomechanical modeling

This paper reports the results of the numerical modeling of gravitationally instable processes in the lithospheric mantle of ancient cratons. The gravitational instability is considered as a result of melting at the lithosphere base owing to its local heating by anomalous mantle. Modeling was based on a finite element method in 2D formulation and took into account the geological structure and thermomechanical parameters of the lithosphere of the Siberian platform. Numerical results revealed the main tendencies in the mantle diapirisim of the mafic and ultramafic magma ascending through the “cold” high-viscosity lithosphere. It was shown that the shape of diapiric magmatic bodies is controlled by realistic visco-elastic-plastic rheology of lithosphere. The ascent of diapir in lithosphere was modeled for diverse regimes differing in duration, temperature field, and upwelling depth. It was concluded that the ascent of melt through lithosphere to the crust-mantle boundary is mainly controlled by rheology, and conditions of oscillatory diapirism with recurrent magma replenishments were modeled. Modeling results may shed light on some features related to the trap magmatism of the Siberian igneous province. The duration and rate of magma upwelling as well as the parameters of periodical magma upwelling were estimated and attempt was made to explain the high-velocity seismic anomalies that were recorded in the subcrustal regions of the Siberian platform.     

安徽董岭花岗岩类的构造特征及侵位机制

安徽怀宁董岭花岗岩类底辟滑覆构造体系是长江中下游地域独特的构造形式。花岗岩底辟构造是在中生代华北地块与扬子地块碰撞背景下通过气球膨胀机制侵位至盖层内(燕山期),形成了围绕董岭几何中心的环状或半环状接触变质和韧性变形岩块。该花岗岩类其内部变形明显,岩相分带、分期清晰,围岩顶盖保存完好,围岩变质均匀,变形强烈,滑覆断层发育,糜棱岩典型等为特征,是一个罕见的盖层中花岗岩类底辟构造。后期在其北侧和东侧被月山—白子山冲断岩块所超覆。     

华北东部晚中生代区域伸展背景下同构造花岗岩体的起源与就位

花岗质岩浆的起源、迁移及就位是研究大陆岩石圈流变学特性的重要方面。然而,板内伸展背景下同构造花岗岩体的岩浆来源、就位机制和岩浆流动与区域应力场的关系等问题缺乏系统性的总结。晚中生代期间华北板块东部逐渐变为区域伸展体制,同时中浅部地壳形成一系列的韧性剪切带、变质核杂岩和拆离断层,这些伸展构造往往伴有同剪切变形的花岗岩体。因此,华北东部是系统研究板内伸展背景下同构造花岗岩体的最佳区域。本文选取多个典型的同构造花岗岩体,进行综合分析。通过归纳总结这些同构造岩体的岩石地球化学和年代学资料,发现多数同构造岩体具有多个岩浆源区,且较早就位的中性岩席(单元)往往来自壳幔混合岩浆或新生下地壳的部分熔融,而较晚的酸性岩席(单元)则主要来源于古老下地壳的部分熔融。这一特点反映了同伸展岩体岩浆源区由深至浅的演化规律,也揭示了区域伸展背景下源自地幔的流体和热量是触发地壳部分熔融的重要因素。通过分析岩浆就位过程中围岩和岩体中形成的定向及变形组构,发现华北东部同伸展岩体的就位模式可分为三大类:以扁平岩床或岩基形式就位于中部地壳的水平韧性剪切带内;岩浆以近直立运移的方式形成长轴平行拆离断层的岩基,就位于变质核杂岩核部或拆离断层下盘;岩浆就位于再活化的先存断裂,通过膨胀作用、挤压围岩获得就位空间并使围岩变形,形成类似底辟作用的就位方式。剪切应力和浮力是影响岩浆运移方向的重要力学参数。岩浆自源区上升的过程中浮力起着主要控制作用,就位于韧性剪切带时剪切应力起着控制作用,就位于浅部地壳的脆-韧性过渡带时浮力的作用再次凸显。     

On the role of diapirism in the, segregation, ascent and final emplacement of granitoid magmas

Only bodies of magma with a high crystal content and partially molten (crustal) country rocks can ascend as diapirs; once such an envelope is pierced, the diapiric ascent of the pluton is arrested by the high viscosity of a solid aureole. Deformation by shortening of the carapace of these bodies may lead to the expulsion of a magma with a relatively low crystal content, which may then continue ascent via fractures and dykes.

The details of the mechanisms of granitoid magma segregation are still unknown, but it appears that many magmas hegin their ascent through the crust as mushes with at least 50% melt, and that such magmas are rheologically able to ascend through a thickness of crust. This ascent mechanism explains the dearth of structures attributable to the ascent of granitoids, in contrast to the abundance of structures that developed during their final emplacement.

When a magma becomes too crystalline (melt < 25%) to continue its ascent via dykes, it is immobilised. At approximately this stage, a hydrous magma may become saturated with water and release fluids into the aureole, making it particularly susceptible to deformation. Magma that continues to arrive at this level is also immobilised, and the pluton grows as a ballooning diapir. These characteristically deform themselves and their aureoles by bulk shortening.

Magmas that are able to ascend to shallow depths, largely by virtue of lower water contents and higher initial temperatures, tend to become finally accommodated by such brittle processes as stoping and cauldron subsidence. High level intrusions lend to be tabular, are also fed by dykes or conduits, and assemble in tabular batholiths.     

In defense of magmatic diapirs

Diapirism as a crustal magma ascent mechanism has been recently criticized. We contend that this reflects an overly simplistic view that diapirs must resemble modeled hot-Stokes diapirs and the perception that magma ascent in dikes is a more problem-free mechanism for the construction of plutons. We describe four Cordilleran plutons that have characteristics much more compatible with diapirs than dike-fed chambers. These plutons were emplaced at depths ranging from ∼10 to 30 km and record different parts of diapiric ascent paths. Most ascended during complex visco-elastic flow of host rock during regional deformation, have narrow structural aureoles indicating power-law behavior of host rock, and were constructed of multiple batches of magma, attributes enabling them to ascend greater distances than single hot-Stokes diapirs. Some features of these plutons are not typically attributed to diapirs, and thus we introduce the term visco-elastic diapir for bodies consisting of one or more batches of magma rising together, with length to width ratios <100, surrounded by host rock deforming by brittle and ductile processes, and for which ascent is driven by buoyancy plus regional stress. We conclude that diapirism remains a valid magma ascent mechanism for the crust.     

The role of extensional tectonics at different crustal levels on granite ascent and emplacement: an example from Tuscany (Italy)

The role of regional extension on the rise and emplacement of granites in the crust is still debated. Pluton ascent and emplacement widely occurred in Tuscany (Italy) since late Miocene during the post-orogenic collapse of the inner Apennines, and are presently occurring in the geothermal areas of Amiata and Larderello. Tuscany offers a preferred test site to study the role of regional extension on pluton ascent and emplacement at different crustal levels. Ductile extension enhanced the segregation and ascent of granitic melts in the lower crust, controlling pluton emplacement in correspondence with the brittle–ductile transition. In the brittle crust, magma ascent occurred through subvertical faults and fractures compatible with the regional extension direction; pluton emplacement mainly occurred by means of roof lifting. The case of Tuscany suggests that the extensional structures enhance melt segregation and ascent in the ductile crust, but are not efficient alone to provide a pathway for the ascent of granitic magmas in the brittle-extending crust. The estimated magmatic strain rates due to pluton emplacement in the geothermal areas are much larger than the regional tectonic strain rates. This suggests that regional tectonics did not control magma emplacement in the brittle crust and explains why nontectonic processes (roof lifting) accommodated the space required for pluton emplacement.     

甘肃龙首山岩带西井镁铁质岩体成因及其构造意义

西井岩体位于北祁连造山带以北,阿拉善地块西南缘的龙首山隆起带。以往的研究多以沿龙首山断裂分布的镁铁-超镁铁质岩带作为和金川岩体相关的岩浆事件进行,而本次选择西井镁铁质岩体进行了精确的地质年代学和地球化学研究,确定了西井岩体岩性主要为橄榄辉石岩和辉长岩,成岩时代为 (421.0±9.0) Ma,可以和北祁连高压变质带榴辉岩年龄相对应;ε_Nd(t)为4.06~5.52,(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i为0.704 548~0.707 575,具有地幔岩石圈特征;微量元素及其同位素计算表明西井岩体经历了约10%的下地壳物质混染。据此得出西井岩体及其龙首山岩带早志留世镁铁质侵入岩体成因模式为:祁连洋壳连续俯冲过程中洋壳与陆壳分离,热的软流圈物质持续冲击地幔岩石圈的底部;由于热传导效应,大地热流沿着地幔岩石圈上升,使得80 km深度的湿的橄榄岩层发生熔融,产生玄武质岩浆作用,玄武质岩浆上升过程中与下地壳物质发生约10%混染,形成西井岩体及其龙首山镁铁超镁铁质岩带。     

The nature of the heat source of mafic magmatism during the formation of the Vilyui rift based on the ages of dike swarms and results of numerical modeling

Possible mechanisms of rifting and the thermal regime of the lithosphere beneath the rift zone of the Vilyui sedimentary basin are considered based on the available isotopic ages of dike swarms, rates of sedimentation, and results of numerical modeling. Temporal correlations between the intrusion of mafic magma and a sharp increase in the rate of subsidence and sedimentation in the rift basin prove the contribution of both plate-tectonic and magmatic factors to the formation of the Vilyui rift. The results show a relationship between the rapid extension of the lithosphere and the formation of mafic dike swarms in the Yakutsk-Vilyui Large Igneous Province of the Siberian Platform at the Frasnian-Famennian boundary, with a peak at ~ 374.1 Ma, and at the end of the Late Devonian, with a peak at ~ 363.4 Ma. There were two pulses of dike formation during rapid subsidence of the basin basement in the period 380-360 Ma, with a sedimentation rate of 100-130 m/Myr, at a background rate of 10-20 m/Myr. Analysis of numerical thermomechanical models revealed that the best-fit model is that combining the mechanisms of intraplate extension (passive rifting) and the ascent of a mantle magmatic diapir (active rifting). A conclusion about the nature of the heat source of trap magmatism has been drawn: The plume-driven regime of the lithosphere can better explain the dynamics of extension during rifting than the decompression melting mechanism.     

大洋岩石圈拆沉与大陆下地壳拆沉：不同的机制及意义——兼评“下地壳＋岩石圈地幔拆沉模式”

拆沉作用(delamination)是地球科学中一个重要的科学问题。本文认为,大洋岩石圈拆沉和大陆下地壳拆沉是不一样的:(1)拆沉的物质不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉的物质包括大洋地壳、岩石圈地幔甚至一部分软流圈地幔,它们共同进入地幔深部;而大陆下地壳拆沉仅仅限制在下地壳,不包括岩石圈地幔。(2)拆沉的动力不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲引起的,是地幔对流的产物,因此是一种快速的主动的拆沉;而下地壳拆沉是由于下地壳加厚使下地壳密度增加引起的,还要求其下刚性的岩石圈地幔转变成塑性的软流圈地幔才有可能发生。因此下地壳拆沉要克服许多阻力才能实现,使拆沉成为一个漫长的过程,是慢速的和被动的拆沉。(3)拆沉的过程不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲触发的,俯冲导致碰撞,大洋岩石圈从根部断裂,拆沉进入地幔。大陆下地壳拆沉由地壳加厚开始,使下地壳转变为榴辉岩相;随后,岩石圈地幔减薄,直至全部转化为软流圈地幔;下地壳发生部分熔融,形成大规模的(埃达克质)岩浆,使下地壳榴辉岩的密度大于下伏的地幔,从而引发拆沉。大陆下地壳拆沉不大可能是整体进行的,可能是一块一块地被蚕食、被拆沉的。(4)拆沉后的效应不同。大洋岩石圈地幔拆沉,使热的软流圈地幔上涌,从而引发了一系列地质效应:如岩浆活动、地壳抬升、构造松弛以及随后的造山带垮塌等。而下地壳拆沉只引起地壳减薄,高原和山脉垮塌,并不伴有大规模的岩浆活动和地壳抬升等过程。(5)拆沉与岩浆活动的关系不同。主动拆沉导致大规模岩浆活动,而被动拆沉是在大规模岩浆活动的基础上开始的。此外,文中还对"下地壳 岩石圈地幔拆沉"模式提出了质疑,认为该模式有许多难以理解的问题和太多推测的成分,而且与现在保存的地质事实不符。     

花岗岩浆形成定位机制的思考与研究进展

花岗岩(广义)是陆壳的标志,也是地球岩石圈区别于其它行星岩石圈的标志。文章介绍了行星探测和大洋调查等方面的成果对花岗岩形成的地质约束:行星从岩浆表壳向岩石表壳转换过程以及现代地幔过程,均没有产生有规模意义的花岗岩;花岗岩及其所标志的陆壳,应是星球出现水圈和沉积岩之后的产物;花岗岩在地球岩石圈二维空间上的平均生长速率,大约为485×10~3km~2/Myr;岩浆主要来自地壳岩石的部分熔融(深熔)。在此基础上,文章介绍了深熔作用方面的研究进展,讨论了部分熔融岩石的流变行为与其内熔体比的关系,并比较了岩浆侵入模型与岩浆对流模型在解释花岗岩形成定位机制方面的异同。侵入模型的困难之一来自岩体与源区分离。由于源区位于岩体下方且远离岩体,因而是不可观察的,除非岩体及其与源区之间的岩石因风化或构造被剥蚀殆尽。文章最后介绍了"深熔-对流"模型的研究进展。该模型认为"源区"与"定位区间"是统一的,当"源区"岩石的熔体比例超过流变学的临界熔体比,岩石转变为"脏"岩浆;"脏"岩浆层内的重力分异诱发热对流,后者引起"顶蚀作用",导致重熔界面(MI)或固-液转换界面(SLT)不断向上移动和岩浆层的逐渐增厚。基本认识是:熔区内的热对流是深熔作用能够形成大规模花岗岩浆的必要条件;没有对流,陆壳岩石的部分熔融只能产生混合岩,不能产生岩基规模的花岗岩。     

大陆下地壳拆沉模式初探

下地壳拆沉是人们关注的问题,文中指出下地壳拆沉必须满足至少三个条件：（1）地壳加厚使其下部达到熘辉岩相是拆沉的前提.（2）大规模岩浆活动使大量低密度的中酸性物质移出下地壳,使下地壳密度增加直至超过下伏地幔.由于下地壳榴辉岩石部分熔融所形成的岩浆具有埃达克岩的地球化学特征,因此,大规模魂达克岩的熔出是下地壳拆沉的先决和必要条件.（3）岩石圈地幔转化为软流圈地幔,使下地壳能够进入地幔.陆壳下的岩石圈地幔原先是冷的、刚性的和不易流动的，如果有热和水的加入，可以被软化，使其变成热的、塑性的和易流动的软流圈地幔。因此，岩石圈了幔转化为软流圈地幔是下地壳拆沉的必要条件。作者认为，下地壳不大可能整体拆沉，而很可能是一块一块如飘雪花似地拆沉。如果下地壳的密度降低（低于下伏地幔），如果地幔停止热的供给，如果陆壳底部的软流圈地幔幔又恢复为岩石圈地幔，拆沉即终止。文中讨论了中国东部中生代下地壳拆沉的可能性，探讨了岩石圈减薄的机制，认为下地壳不需要也不可能与岩石圈地幔一道拆况。     

花岗岩研究的最新进展及发展趋势

本文重点讨论了花岗岩成因类型及其同地球动力学体系的关系、花岗岩形成时的物理化学约束条件、产生花岗岩的热源、花岗岩的定位机制及花岗岩同成矿作用的关系。地球化学和其他证据表明，花岗岩浆一般说是地壳和地幔物质混合的结果，实际上可能存在一种地幔源与地壳源之间的连续谱系。花岗岩研究下一步将向何处去？同地球动力学相关联，花岗岩形成时的热源、岩浆混合和岩浆上升、定位的机制，可能是在最近的将来解决花岗岩问题的关键。     

Carbon dioxide in petrogenesis III: role of volatiles in the ascent of alkaline magma with special reference to xenolith-bearing mafic lavas

Kinetic and fluid dynamic constraints on deep-seated magma migration rates suggest ascent velocities in the range 10 to 30 m/s, 10^–1 to 10 m/s and 10^–2 to 5 m/s for kimberlitic, garnet peridotite-bearing and spinel peridotite-bearing alkalic magmas. These rates virtually demand translithospheric magma transport by a fracture as opposed to diapiric mechanism. The hypothesis that volatile exsolution accelerates magma through the deep lithosphere is tested by solution of the appropriate set of conservation, mass balance and volatile component solubility equations governing the steady ascent (decompression) of compressible, two-phase magma (melt+H₂O+CO₂) in which irreversible phenomena (friction, heat transfer) are accounted for. The results of the numerical experiments were designed to test the importance of melt bulk composition (kimberlite, nephelinite, alkali basalt), initial conditions (mass flux (M), heat transfer coefficient (B), lumped friction factor (C _f )), conduit width (D), initial magma volatile content and geothermal gradients. The fractional increase in ascent rate (u/u _i ) is rarely greater than approximately 2 during translithospheric migration. The propellant hypothesis is rejected as a first-order mechanism driving magma acceleration during ascent. The most influential parameters governing ascent dynamics are M, C _f , D, B and the geotherm. Because of the relatively incompressible nature of the magmatic volatile phase at P>100 MPa, the initial magma volatile content plays a secondary (although demonstrable) role. The main role of volatiles is in controlling the initial magma flux (M) and the magma pressure during ascent. In adiabatic (B=0) simulations, magma ascends nearly isothermally. Generally, however, the assumption of adiabaticity is a poor one especially for flow through narrow (0.5 to 2 m) conduits in old (cold) lithosphere at rates 10^–1 m/s. The proposed fluid dynamic model is consistent with and complementary to the magma-driven crack propagation models. The generation of mantle metasomatic fluid is a corollary of the non-adiabatic ascent of volatile-bearing magma through the lithosphere. Magma heat death is an important process for the creation of mantle heterogeneity.     

板块俯冲起始与大陆地壳演化

组成大陆地壳的物质主要来自两个地质过程:地幔柱活动和板块俯冲.目前大多数研究认为板块俯冲起始于30多亿年前.在板块俯冲起始之前,基性的初始地壳物质受热重熔是大陆地壳生长的主要方式,其中,地幔柱活动是关键.地幔柱不仅向地壳输送玄武质岩浆,同时导致已有玄武质岩石和沉积岩通过部分熔融向中酸性岩石转化.当原始岩石圈强度足够大时...     

干热岩控热构造系统厘定与类型划分

为了研究干热岩成因机理,综合分析了干热岩形成背景、控热构造系统及尺度.地球中的干热岩具有特殊的形成构造背景,控热构造对干热岩热能的传输与聚敛具有很重要的作用,导致岩石圈不同热结构和热异常.控热构造可划分为生热、导热、储热和释热构造.生热构造包括地幔软流圈底辟,具有大量高放射性元素的岩浆房,活动性的深大断裂等;中、下地壳脆韧性转换带,活动的韧性剪切带是导热构造;中、下地壳的低阻高导体,韧性剪切流变层既是导热层,也是储热构造;火山、地震、浅表层次的活动断裂等为释热构造;控热构造的类型受到构造尺度和构造背景的限定.由于地壳中控热构造分布状态及发育特征差异较大,从而导致干热岩等地热能资源在地壳中的埋深、规模、热量以及分布状态等也有较大差异.      

华北克拉通北缘显生宙四次底侵作用及其构造-岩浆活动与深部背景

通过对华北克拉通北缘显生宙四次(P₁,T₃,J₁,K₁)底侵作用的研究,将华北克拉通的活化与岩石圈深部地幔物质的底辟体上涌联系起来。不同阶段底侵作用在岩浆来源深度、与构造格局关系、对地壳垂向增生的贡献、幔源物质脉动式上涌等方面的差异与变化,显示它们是一个分阶段连续热演化的深部过程,其动力学机制是深部的高热流和地幔物质的向上运移。对应于地幔物质上涌,必然存在同期的地幔底辟体隆起的岩石圈结构变化。通过对华北中生代盆山系形成机制的讨论,认为该区高分辨率面波层析成像所显示的地幔底辟体上涌的特征可以反映中生代岩石圈底侵作用的深部背景。     

Mantle-Crust Interaction in Petrogenesis of the Gabbro-Granite Association in the Preobrazhenka Intrusion,Eastern Kazakhstan

The paper reports results of petrological-geochemical, isotope, and geochronological studies of the Preobrazhenka gabbro–granitoid massif located in the Altai collisional system of Hercynides, Eastern Kazakhstan. The massif shows evidence for the interaction of compositionally contrasting magmas during its emplacement. Mineralogical–petrological and geochemical studies indicate that the gabbroid rocks of the massif were formed through differentiation of primary trachybasaltic magma and its interaction with crustal anatectic melts. Origin of the granitoid rocks is related to melting of crustal protoliths under the thermal effect of mafic melts. The mantle–crust interaction occurred in several stages and at different depths. A model proposed here to explain the intrusion formation suggests subsequent emplacement of basite magmas in lithosphere and their cooling, melting of crustal protolith, emplacement at the upper crustal levels and cooling of the granitoid and basite magmas. It was concluded that the formation of gabbro-granitoid intrusive massifs serves as an indicator of active mantle–crust interaction at the late evolutionary stages of accretionary–collisional belts, when strike-slip pull-apart deformations causes the high permeability of lithosphere.     

地壳与弱化岩石圈地幔的相互作用:以燕山造山带为例

燕山造山带中生代发育4期钙碱性火山活动,它们的源区组成都是受壳幔相互作用的制约,其中髫髻山组和义县组分布广泛,具有代表性．髫髻山组岩性比较单一,地球化学参数变化范围小,岩浆的AFC作用不强烈,源区成分不复杂．依据Kay et al．(1991)的方法,估算了早-中侏罗世燕山地区的地壳厚度为40-45 km.髫髻山组粗安岩是在加厚的地壳 (40-45 km)条件下,源区是含角闪石的石榴石麻粒岩 底侵的基性岩的壳幔过渡带熔融形成．义县组火山岩的源区为下地壳 岩石圈地幔,地幔组分较髫髻山组增加．研究区中生代早期地壳开始加厚,发生下地壳拆沉,进入流变学性质改变了的“弱化的岩石圈地幔”,二者发生作用．岩石圈地幔在中生代晚期受到流体、熔体、地幔矿物中活化的分子水、剪切构造作用,以及温、压条件改变的影响,导致岩石圈地幔发生不均一的局部弱化,为容纳拆沉的下地壳提供了优化场所．推测弱化岩石圈地幔出现于135 Ma以后燕山地区发育的小型拉伸盆地之下,以及对应的小型软流圈底辟体之上．上述模型可以与俯冲带的楔形地幔与俯冲洋壳的相互作用相对比．     

从深部背景看燕山陆内造山作用的主因

中生代华北燕山造山带是陆内造山作用的典型,但长期来对造山作用的动力学机制存在多种分歧观点。本文尝试将岩石圈不同深度的构造整合在一起,探索陆内造山作用的主因。本文拟从燕山带中生代构造运动的基本特征入手,选择集宁-承德基底岩石圈断裂带作为先存构造薄弱带,结合不同深度层次的地质作用:①地表的断陷盆地及其火山-沉积岩建造;②断块构造的差异隆升;③固态流变和地热活动;④幔源或者壳幔混溶的火山岩,论证先存构造薄弱带的活化现象。在此基础上,通过幔源熔-流体的交代作用讨论了岩石圈强度的弱化,结合岩石圈结构的层析成像研究,得到初步结论:地幔底辟体上涌是华北克拉通中生代构造活化的重要背景。不排除不同板块间相互作用的影响。最后,从与国外典型的陆内造山带的对比中,进一步认识到:深部地幔物质上涌和上部岩石圈物质的均衡调整,是陆内造山与陆缘造山的本质区别。     

实验岩石学对埃达克岩成因的限定——兼论中国东部富钾高Sr/Y比值花岗岩类

大量变玄武岩脱水熔融实验表明,制约埃达克岩形成的主要因素是源岩、水和地壳热结构(p-T轨迹)。变玄武岩低到中等程度(10％～40％)的部分熔融过程中,含水矿物(主要是角闪石)脱水反应产生埃达克岩熔体,残余相组合为石榴石+单斜辉石±斜方辉石±角闪石(没有斜长石)。在俯冲带,当压力为1.6～2.2 GPa(约70～90 km)和温度为800～1150℃时,具有高的剪切热速率和非常年轻的(<25 Ma)、热的俯冲大洋岩石圈就会发生脱水熔融形成埃达克熔体。在增厚地壳内,具有高的热状态的底侵玄武质下地壳在压力≥0.8 GPa(>35 km)和温度介于800～1100℃之间发生部分熔融形成埃达克质熔体。然而,中国东部晚中生代富钾高Sr/Y比值花岗岩类,可能形成于加厚地壳开始减薄及地壳从挤压向拉张伸展转换的环境下,所对应的岩浆,与下地壳底侵的碱性玄武岩和/或拉斑玄武岩在压力1.0～1.5 GPa和温度850～1080℃之间发生部分熔融有关,熔融的残余相为辉石岩类,岩浆在上升侵位过程中还受到了地壳AFC的影响。中国东部中生代岩石圈从加厚转变为减薄的过程,就可能与玄武质岩浆的底侵作用及随后含石榴石辉石岩类残余体的拆沉作用有关。
