The widespread abundance of Hi-Alumina Basalt (HAB) lavas in most volcanic arcs has been suggested by some as evidence for a primary, parental HAB magma generated by the high pressure melting of subducted oceanic crust (quartz eclogite). Others suggest a parental, mantle-derived olivine tholeiite magma which produces HAB magmas through fractionation of olivine, clinopyroxene, chrome-spinel +/– plagioclase. The petrology and geochemistry of seven HAB lavas from the Aleutian Cold Bay Volcanic Center have been studied in order to specifically address these two possibilities. All lavas show mineralogical and compositional features typical of most Aleutian HAB lavas. Coexisting opx and cpx in a closely associated basaltic-andesite indicate a minimum pre-eruption temperature of 1,110° C. A comparison of the observed (plag-tmag-olivcpx) and experimentally determined crystallization sequences yields a minimum pre-eruption pressure estimate of 7 kb and estimated H2O contents of 0.7 wt.%.

2 values have been estimated at NNO+0.6 log units.Mass balance calculations demonstrate that the HAB compositions are satisfied by the fractionation of olivine, clinopyroxene +/– plagioclase from a primitive (Mg-# > 65) parental tholeiite. Plagioclase accumulation does not play a significant role in their origin. Many of the same compositional characteristics are also satisfied by high pressure melting of altered ocean ridge tholeiite +5 v.% pelagic sediment (quartz eclogite). The available HAB phase equilibria data do not support a fractionation origin but do support an origin involving high pressure melting of quartz eclogite. The lack of compositional zonation in the HAB phenocrysts, and the complete absence of disequilibrium MgO-rich mafic phenocrysts further argue against a tholeiite fractionation origin.Consideration of all these features indicates that the geochemical data are permissive in their interpretation. A process involving tholeiite fractionation successfully predicts the compositions of the HAB lavas but is at odds with the mineralogical and phase equilibria evidence. With some exceptions (notably Ni, Cr and Sr abundances), a process of high pressure quartz eclogite melting is consistent with the compositional, mineralogical and phase equilibria characteristics of these HAB lavas. When the relative merits of both origins are weighed it is apparent that a quartz eclogite source satisfies more of important features of these HAB lavas.Extrusive rocks have been grouped on a basis of SiO2 content into basalt (<52 wt.%), basaltic-andesite (52–56 wt.%) and andesite (>56 wt.%) after Ewart (1982) 相似文献

The 2004 tsunami transformed the coast of Indonesia. This research investigates a sand dune area in Lampuuk, Sumatra, that was scoured by tsunami flow. We assessed geomorphology one‐year post‐event and examine the timescale of vegetation recovery. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) evidence shows an eroded succession of thin dipping units, overlain by aeolian layers 0 to 50 cm thick. Incipient dunes were absent, indicating limited dune rebuilding at one‐year post‐tsunami, possibly resulting from channelised airflow and the absence of vegetation. Recolonisation by vegetation was initially limited but progressed rapidly between 2005 and 2011, highlighting the temporal non‐linearity of recovery processes. 相似文献

The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) conducts monitoring to address concerns related to the 2000 diversion of secondarily treated effluent discharge into Massachusetts Bay. Baseline data (1992-2000) showed multiple regions defined by physical and chemical composition. Near the Massachusetts Bay outfall, there is a series of heterogeneous sediments in relatively close proximity to the primary historic source of contaminants (Boston Harbor). Farfield sediments exhibited greater compositional definition from one another, which was attributed to the greater spatial separation of the sampling locations. Factors that influence contaminant variability include local and distributed sources, and are primarily related to gradients in depositional environments. Post-diversion sediment data suggest that 4 years of treated effluent discharge has not increased contaminant concentrations to the bay system. However, abundance of the sewage tracer, Clostridium perfringens, has increased variably in sediments located within 2 km of the outfall, providing a distinct effluent signal near the outfall. 相似文献

Magma ascent, decompression-induced H2O exsolution and crystallization is now recognized as an important process in hydrous subduction zone magmas. During the course
of such a process calculations suggest that the ascent rate of a degassing and crystallizing mafic magma will be greater than
crystal settling velocities. Thus, any crystals formed as a consequence of volatile exsolution will remain suspended in the
magma. If the magma erupts before the percentage of suspended crystals reaches the critical crystallinity value for mafic
magma (~55 vol.%) it will produce the commonly observed crystal rich island arc basalt lava. If the magma reaches its critical
crystallinity before it erupts then it will stall within the crust. Extension of compaction experiments on a 55 vol.% sand-Karo
syrup suspension at different temperatures (and liquid viscosities) to the likely viscosities of interstitial andesitic to
dacitic liquid within such a stalled magma suggest that small amounts (up to ~10%) can be expelled on a time scale of 1–10 years.
The expelled liquid can create a new intermediate to silicic body of magma that is related to the original mafic magma via
fractional crystallization. The short time scale for liquid expulsion indicate that decompression-induced H2O exsolution and crystallization can be an important mechanism for fractional crystallization. Based on this assumption a
general model of decompression-induced crystallization and fractionation is proposed that explains many of the compositional,
mineralogical and textural features of Aleutian (and other andesites). 相似文献

Analytical expressions for the variation in D
La and D
Yb with increasing liquid SiO2 for olivine, plagioclase, augite, hornblende, orthopyroxene, magnetite and ilmenite (Brophy in Contrib Mineral Petrol 2008, online first) have been combined with numerical models of hydrous partial melting, of mid-ocean ridge (MOR) cumulate gabbro
melting, and fractional crystallization of slightly hydrous mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) magma to assess a melting versus
fractionation origin for oceanic plagiogranite. For felsic magmas (>63 wt.% SiO2) the modeling predicts the following. MOR cumulate gabbro melting should yield constant or decreasing La and constant Yb
abundances with increasing liquid SiO2. The overall abundances should be similar to those in associated mafic magmas. MORB fractional crystallization should yield
steadily increasing La and Yb abundances with increasing SiO2 with overall abundances significantly higher than those in associated mafic magmas. Application to natural occurrences of
oceanic plagiogranite indicate that both MOR cumulate gabbro melting and MORB fractionation are responsible. Application of
the model results to Icelandic rhyolites strongly support a fractional crystallization rather than a crustal melting origin. 相似文献

Beach ridge stratigraphy can provide an important record of both sustained coastal progradation and responses to events such as extreme storms, as well as evidence of earthquake induced sediment pulses. This study is a stratigraphic investigation of the late Holocene mixed sand gravel (MSG) beach ridge plain on the Canterbury coast, New Zealand. The subsurface was imaged along a 370 m shore-normal transect using 100 and 200 MHz ground penetrating radar (GPR) antennae, and cored to sample sediment textures. Results show that, seaward of a back-barrier lagoon, the Pegasus Bay beach ridge plain prograded almost uniformly, under conditions of relatively stable sea level. Nearshore sediment supply appears to have created a sustained sediment surplus, perhaps as a result of post-seismic sediment pulses, resulting in a flat, morphologically featureless beach ridge plain. Evidence of a high magnitude storm provides an exception, with an estimated event return period in excess of 100 years. Evidence from the GPR sequence combined with modern process observations from MSG beaches indicates that a palaeo-storm initially created a washover fan into the back-barrier lagoon, with a large amount of sediment simultaneously moved off the beach face into the nearshore. This erosion event resulted in a topographic depression still evident today. In the subsequent recovery period, sediment was reworked by swash onto the beach as a sequence of berm deposit laminations, creating an elevated beach ridge that also has a modern-day topographic signature. As sediment supply returned to normal, and under conditions of falling sea level, a beach ridge progradation sequence accumulated seaward of the storm feature out to the modern-day beach as a large flat, uniform progradation plain. This study highlights the importance of extreme storm events and earthquake pulses on MSG coastlines in triggering high volume beach ridge formation during the subsequent recovery period. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Seafloor pressure records, collected at 11 stations aligned along a single ground track of the Topex/Poseidon and Jason satellites,
are analyzed for their tidal content. With very low background noise levels and approximately 27 months of high-quality records,
tidal constituents can be estimated with unusually high precision. This includes many high-frequency lines up through the
seventh-diurnal band. The station deployment provides a unique opportunity to compare with tides estimated from satellite
altimetry, point by point along the satellite track, in a region of moderately high mesoscale variability. That variability
can significantly corrupt altimeter-based tide estimates, even with 17 years of data. A method to improve the along-track
altimeter estimates by correcting the data for non-tidal variability is found to yield much better agreement with the bottom-pressure
data. The technique should prove useful in certain demanding applications, such as altimetric studies of internal tides. 相似文献
