The shock compression state of zirconia ZrO2 and zircon ZrSiO4 in the pressure range up to 150 GPa (1.5 Mbar) are studied on the basis of the measurements of shock velocities, particle-velocity histories, free surface motions, and electrical conductivities. Zircon transforms, and zirconia probably does, to high pressure phases up to 90 GPa. The shock velocity (Us) — particle velocity (Up) Hugoniots can be described as Us=4.38+1.37 Upkm/s above 90 GPa for ZrO2, and Us=6.50+0.49 Upkm/s (mixed phase region), and Us=1.54+2.30 Upkm/s (high pressure phase region) for ZrSiO4. The corrected isothermal densities of the high pressure phase ZrSiO4 are roughly consistent with the isothermal ones of mixtures of ZrO2 and SiO2. Bulk sound velocities in the high-pressure phase region of these oxides are discussed in comparison with other dioxides. Electrical conductivities of these oxides increase from lower than 10?12 S/m to greater than 100 S/m in the shock-stress range up to 70 GPa, and remain as constant values up to higher than 100 GPa. 相似文献
砷总是与硫化物共同形成于地热环境中。然而,在地表氧化条件下硫化物与雨水接触后易溶解。在地热环境中硫化物溶解后的二次沉淀物对砷的迁移有着重大的影响。溶解的砷酸盐易被铁的氢氧化物固定,且铁的氢氧化物在大多数的地表氧化条件下都可以稳定存在。地热流体中无定形SiO_2的迅速沉淀和高岭石化可以固定大量的砷。这些硅酸盐可以稳定的存在于较宽泛的pH和氧化还原条件下。菲律宾地热场中矿物和地球化学条件对砷迁移的制约@Chelo PASCUA$Graduate School of Natural Scienceand Technology,Kanazawa University,Ishikawa,Japan

We estimated metamorphic conditions for the 6 Ma Taitao ophiolite, associated with the Chile triple junction. The metamorphic grade of the ophiolite, estimated from secondary matrix minerals, changes stratigraphically downwards from the zeolite facies, through the prehnite–actinolite facies, greenschist facies and the greenschist–amphibolite transition, to the amphibolite facies. The metamorphic facies series corresponds to the low-pressure type. The metamorphic zone boundaries are subparallel to the internal lithological boundaries of the ophiolite, indicating that the metamorphism was due to axial hydrothermal alteration at a mid-ocean ridge.
Mineral assemblages and the compositions of veins systematically change from quartz-dominated, through epidote-dominated, to prehnite-dominated with increasing depth. Temperatures estimated from the vein assemblages range from 230 °C in the volcanic unit to 380 °C at the bottom of the gabbro unit, systematically 200 °C lower than estimates from the adjoining matrix minerals. The late development of veins and the systematically lower temperatures suggest that the vein-forming alteration was due to off-axis hydrothermal alteration.
Comparison between the Taitao ophiolite with its mid-ocean ridge (MOR) affinity, and other ophiolites and MOR crusts, suggests that the Taitao ophiolite has many hydrothermal alteration features similar to those of MOR crusts. This is consistent with the tectonic history that the Taitao ophiolite was formed at the South Chile ridge system near the South American continent (Anma, R., Armstrong, R., Danhara, T., Orihashi, Y. and Iwano, H., 2006.

To study tsunami soliton fission and split wave-breaking, an undistorted experiment was carried out which investigated tsunami
shoaling on a continental shelf. Three models of the continental shelf were set up in a 205-m long 2-dimensional flume. Each
shelf model was 100 m, long with slopes of either 1/100, 1/150, or 1/200. Water surface elevations were measured across the
flume, including a dense cluster of wave gages installed around the point of wave-breaking. We propose new methods for calculating
wave velocity and the wave-breaking criterion based on our interpretation of time series data of water surface elevation.
At the point of wave-breaking, the maximum slope of water surface is between 20 to 50 deg., while the ratio of surface water
particle horizontal velocity to wave velocity is from 0.5 to 1.2. The values determined by our study are larger than what
has been reported by other researchers. 相似文献
Carbonate rock cores drilled on the Kikai Seamount, northern Philippine Sea are examined for better understanding of tectonic history of the northern Philippine Sea. The Kikai Seamount, the summit of which is at 1960 m water depth, is an isolated high on the northwestern part of the Amami Plateau formed by subduction-related arc volcanism, and is situated close to the axis of the Ryukyu Trench in front of the Ryukyu Arc, SW Japan. The seamount is capped with shallow-water carbonates such as coral rudstone. Detailed examinations of lithology, larger foraminiferal assemblages, and Sr isotope composition reveal that the core material comprises Miocene carbonates unconformably overlain by Early Pleistocene carbonates. It indicates rapid subsidence of the Kikai Seamount since the Early Pleistocene. The most probable cause of rapid subsidence is collision and subduction of the Amami Plateau laden with the Kikai Seamount. The rapid subsidence may have started when the western corner of the plateau reached the Ryukyu Trench and began subduction beneath the Ryukyu Arc. The onset of the subsidence is likely to be controlled by a motion change in the Philippine Sea Plate. The latest change in subduction direction from north to northwestward into northwestward to west has been believed to have occurred at 1-2 Ma during latest Pliocene to Early Pleistocene time. The change of direction resulted in the shift from oblique into right-angle subduction of the plate beneath the Ryukyu Arc and also the onset of the collision and subduction of the Amami Plateau. 相似文献
Abstract– Distributions of organic functional groups as well as inorganic features were analyzed in the Bells (CM2) carbonaceous chondrite using near‐field infrared (NFIR) spectroscopy. NFIR spectroscopy has recently been developed to enable infrared spectral mapping beyond the optical diffraction limit of conventional Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy. NFIR spectral mapping of the Bells 300 nm thick sections on Al plates for 7.5 × 7.5 μm2 areas showed some C‐H‐rich areas which were considered to represent the organic‐rich areas. Heterogeneous distributions of organic matter as well as those of inorganic phases such as silicates (Si‐O) were observed with 1 μm spatial resolution. The NFIR mappings of aliphatic C‐H (2960 and 2930 cm?1) and structural OH (3650 cm?1) confirm that organic matter is associated with phyllosilicates as previously suggested. The NFIR mapping method can provide 1 μm spatial distribution of organic functional groups and their association with minerals. High local sensitivity of NFIR enables us to find organic‐rich areas and to characterize them by their aliphatic CH2/CH3 ratios. The aliphatic CH2/CH3 ratio of Bells is slightly higher than Murchison, similar to Orgueil, and lower than literature values of IDPs and cometary dust particles. 相似文献
The heat needed to melt snow over the Tien Shan mountains and Japanese Islands for 10-day period (TDP) was estimated. Melting curves and a map of snowmelt duration were obtained through the long-term data from 79 stations in the Tien Shan mountains and 20 stations in the Japanese Islands. At high elevations in the mountains, about 40% of the snow melts during penultimate 10 days of snow cover. In the Japanese Islands, about 80% of the snow melts during the last 20 days of snow cover. Over the mountains, 0.13×104 MJ m2 year−1 is needed to melt snow in the northern and western Tien Shan where maximum snow accumulation occurred. The volume of air cooled 10 °C by snowmelt amounted to 4.4×106 km3 year−1 over the Tien Shan mountains and 3×106 km3 year−1 over the Japanese Islands. The most significant impact of snowmelt on air temperature was observed at an elevation of 2500 m in the western and northern Tien Shan. Air that was cooled 10 °C could reach an elevation of 2.1 km day−1. Over the Japanese Islands, energy losses from snowmelt amounted to 0.26×1014 MJ year−1 and the maximum occurred over Honshu Island. The heat loss from snowmelt in the Tien Shan mountains and Japanese Islands amounted to about 2/3 of heat loss in the Eurasian continental plains. 相似文献
