Altered variolites described for the first time in the axial zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are represented by rounded globules
of andesite (icelandite) composition with light trachyandesite rim embedded in a picrobasaltic matrix. The globules were transferred
with picrobasaltic melt and then floated to the surface of lava flow, while formation of leucocratic rims was presumably related
to thermodiffusion (Soret effect) in a cooling heterogeneous melt. This heterogeneous melt was formed by penetration of ascending
column of picrobasaltic magma in already existing small intracructsal magmatic chamber filled with residual icelanditetype
andesite melt and involvement of the latter into a general upward movement. The rapid ascent of the melts in the oceanic spreading
zones by means of turbulent flowing caused dispersion of the extragenous melt into small drops in a jet of picrobasaltic magma,
without their interaction. Variolites were formed during cooling of such heterogeneous lava flow. No signs of liquid immiscibility
were found in the studied variolites. 相似文献
An isotope-geochronological study has been performed to examine the products of Late Cenozoic collision volcanism on the northern
coast of Lake Van, Turkey. We obtained 45 new K—Ar dates, based on which the principal time characteristics of volcanic activity
in the region have been determined. Volcanic activity in the northern coast of Lake Van has lasted ∼15 myr; it has had an
expressed discrete nature, when periods of intense volcanic activity alternated with long-lasting pose periods. Four stages
of Neogene—Quaternary volcanism have been identified: Middle Miocene (15.0—13.5 Ma), Late Miocene (10—9 Ma), Pliocene (5.8—3.7
Ma), and Quaternary (1.0—0.4 Ma). The average duration of the stages was 1—2 myr; the stages were separated from each other
with periods of inactivity of approximately equal lengths (∼3 myr). For each of the Pliocene and Quaternary stages, three
additional phases of volcanism have been identified, which were separated from each other with short time intervals (a few
hundred thousand years). The last burst of volcanic activity in the study area occurred ∼400 ka; similar to Quaternary volcanism
in general, it was not characterized by a high intensity. An important result of the studies performed was to confirm the
existence of a separate Middle Miocene stage of collision volcanism for the Caucasian—Anatolian Segment of the Alpine Fold
Belt. New geochronological data generated presented in this paper indicate that Neogene—Quaternary volcanism in this portion
of the belt started much earlier (∼15 Ma) than assumed by the majority of the previous researchers. 相似文献
New data on geology and 21 K–Ar dates of the Late Oligocene–Quaternary basalts in Syria, combined with analysis of the new and previous data are used to reconstruct the volcanic history and relations between it and tectonic events. Volcanism began at the end of Oligocene (26–24 Ma) and was concentrated in the Late Oligocene–Early Miocene along a N-trending band, which stretches from the Jebel Arab (Harrat Ash Shaam) up to Kurd Dagh and southern Turkey. Activity waned in the Middle Miocene (17–12 Ma), but was resumed in the same band in the Tortonian and increased in the Messinian and Early Pliocene (6.3–4 Ma), when volcanism spread to the Shin Plateau and its coastal extension. After a brief hiatus ~ 4–3.5 Ma, volcanism became still more intensive and spread from the N-trending band to the east into the northern margin of the Mesopotamian Foredeep and to the west into the Dead Sea Transform zone. Additional eruptions continued into the Holocene.Volcanism lasted > 25 million years in the Jebel Arab Highland and > 15 million years in the Aleppo Plateau. The long duration of volcanism in the same parts of the moving Arabian plate and absence of records of one-way migration of the activity mean that the magmatic sources moved together with the plate, i.e., they were situated within the lithosphere mantle. Coincidence of the tectonic and volcanic stages of the Arabian plate development proves that volcanic activity depended on the geodynamic situation, caused by the plate motion. Situated within the lithosphere, magmatic sources within this transverse band were possibly caused by thermal and deforming influences of the asthenospheric lateral flow, moved laterally from the Ethiopia–Afar deep superplume. 相似文献
This paper considers results from isotope-geochronological (K-Ar) studies of the products of Neogene-Quaternary volcanism in the Karacada? area, which is situated within the northern frontal part of the Arabian plate. It was found that magmatic activity has been evolving at this location for at least the last 11–10 Myr and was distinctly discrete in character. Three stages of volcanism have been identified: (I) Early or Miocene, ~11–6.7 Ma; (II) Middle or Pliocene-Early Quaternary, 4–1 Ma; and (III) Late or Late Quaternary, 0.4–0.1 Ma. The most recent manifestations of magmatic activity in the region date back to about 100000 years ago. An analysis of the spatial distribution of volcanic centers of different ages in the Karacada? neovolcanic area shows that the magmatism of that region involved a lateral migration of activity from northwest to southeast along a major regional tectonic fault. The migration was caused by the movement of local tension zones where the lithosphere was thinner and deep-seated mantle magmas were ascending. 相似文献

The trajectory characteristics and the intensity evolution of the Alberto tropical cyclone (TC) in the integral water-vapor field are analyzed in detail using a software-algorithmic complex designed for constructing highly detailed global radio-thermal fields of the ocean-atmosphere system based on microwave satellite measurements. This complex was developed by the authors earlier and allows one to obtain global animated radio-thermal fields with a time step of 1.5 h and a spatial resolution of 0.2°. Special attention is paid to the problem of revealing the energy sources of three consecutive intensifications of this TC. The analysis of satellite data with the use of the animation method developed by the authors shows for the first time that these sources are regions with an increased (exceeding the critical level) integral water-vapor content located in different geographical areas lying along the complex trajectory of the TC with a variable intensity. The first region was located in the equatorial intertropical convergence zone, the second was located above the Gulf Stream water area, and the third resided in the area affected by the Azores High. 相似文献
Lower crustal xenoliths entrained in a Paleozoic ultramafic lamprophyre breccia pipe on Elovy island, Kola peninsula, Russia, represent some of the oldest lower crustal material yet investigated from Europe. The xenoliths vary from feldspar-poor, garnetrich rocks which resemble eclogites, to feldspar-rich garnet granulites. Quartz-rich felsic granulites, as well as pyroxenites and amphibole-rich rocks are also present.
The mafic granulites/eclogites represent a suite of gabbros and norites that is related by olivine fractionation. The igneous protoliths may have formed in a manner analogous to lower crustal rocks from most other European xenolith localities, i.e. by basaltic underplating, but magmatic cumulates are not in evidence.
The Kola lower crust was subjected to one or more metasomatic events which introduced up to 45% phlogopite and/or amphibole into both eclogites/granulites and pyroxenites. The resulting rocks have strong enrichments in Rb, Ba, and K, indicating that the lower crust is not uniformly depleted in LIL and heat-producing elements. Siliceous (65% SiO2) and mafic (< 50% SiO2) lithologies coexist in migmatitic xenoliths, which provide evidence for partial melting processes and restite formation in mafic metaigneous lower crust. The relationship, if any, between partial melting and metasomatism is unclear. 相似文献
