造山带橄榄岩记录的大陆俯冲带多期壳幔相互作用

俯冲带是地壳与地幔之间物质交换的主要场所.前人对大洋俯冲带壳幔相互作用进行了大量研究,但是对俯冲带壳幔相互作用的物理化学过程和机理仍缺乏明确认识.在大陆俯冲带出露有造山带橄榄岩,它们来自俯冲板片之上的地幔楔,是解决这个问题的理想样品.通过对大别-苏鲁和柴北缘造山带橄榄岩进行系统的岩石学和地球化学研究,发现地幔楔橄榄岩由于俯冲地壳的交代作用而含有新生锆石和残留锆石,它们能为地壳交代作用时间、交代介质来源、性质和组成提供制约.地幔楔橄榄岩在大陆碰撞过程的不同阶段受到了俯冲大陆地壳衍生的多期不同性质流体的交代作用.地幔楔橄榄岩还受到了陆壳俯冲之前古俯冲洋壳衍生流体的交代作用.深俯冲陆壳衍生熔体与橄榄岩反应形成的石榴辉石岩具有高的水含量,能提供高水含量的地幔源区.      

大陆俯冲带热结构的数值模拟

俯冲带热结构是控制俯冲板块演化的最主要因素之一.前人通过建立解析模型和数值模型对大洋俯冲带热结构进行了一系列研究,发现俯冲板块年龄和俯冲速度是影响俯冲带热结构的关键因素.为了认识大陆俯冲带热结构,特别是理解数值模型结果与岩石学结果之间的差异,我们建立了二维大陆俯冲带运动学和动力学数值模型研究其热结构演化.模型结果显示,如果大陆俯冲板块的俯冲速度与角度和大洋板块一致的话,较低的大陆俯冲带初始温度导致其板块温度比大洋俯冲带低.但是,当大陆俯冲板块的初始温度较高,俯冲速度超慢并且考虑大陆地壳中的放射性元素生热时,模型得到的大陆俯冲带热结构能够解释通过高压和超高压变质岩得到的较热的俯冲板块温度.另一方面,如果俯冲板块与上覆板块存在动力学解耦作用,也能够得到较热的俯冲温压数据.      

根据地震纵波速度分析青藏高原地壳放射性生热率和地幔热状态

从1974年至今,人们对青藏高原的研究积累了大量的地球物理资料。笔者搜集了23条地震剖面纵波数据,利用地震纵波速度和生热率的关系,绘制了各条剖面的地壳岩石生热率随深度变化的等值线,并结合已有的大地热流数据,得到了地幔热流密度分布情况。从地幔热流密度分布可以看出:在班公—怒江缝合带、印度—雅鲁藏布江缝合带、拉萨地体上存在地幔热流较高区域;该区域位于地块碰撞挤压带上,地层构造复杂,地热资源丰富,以著名的羊八井地热田为代表。初步推断该区域地幔岩浆较活跃。     

大洋板块运动方向反转控制活动陆缘岩石圈张裂过程数值模拟

为了更好的探究大洋板块运动方向反转与大陆岩石圈张裂之间的动力学关系,以数值模拟为手段来正演大洋板块的反向俯冲,同时考虑光滑洋壳、海山链、海底高原、薄弱带等构造单元加入先期俯冲时对大陆岩石圈张裂的影响.结果显示:大陆岩石圈在大洋板块反向俯冲的过程中会被拉伸减薄,并出现局部岩石圈的颈缩直至张裂、同时伴随有软流圈地幔的上涌和减压熔融等现象.此外,含有不同构造单元的洋壳参与先期俯冲会对陆缘造成不同程度的破坏,从而影响拖曳过程中大陆岩石圈的应变集中,并导致大陆岩石圈在不同时间、不同位置出现张裂.模拟结果可用于对比南海陆缘在新生代张裂中表现的穿时等特征,亦可为其他被动陆缘张裂的动力学研究提供借鉴.      

Cenozoic Volcanism in Tibet: Evidence for a Transition from Oceanic to Continental Subduction

Geochronological (K–Ar or ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar), major and traceelement, Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic and mineral chemicaldata are presented for newly discovered Cenozoic volcanic rocksin the western Qiangtang and central Lhasa terranes of Tibet.Alkali basalts of 65–45 Ma occur in the western Qiangtangterrane and represent primitive mantle melts as indicated byhigh mg-numbers [100 x Mg/(Mg + Fe)] (54–65), Cr (204–839ppm) and Ni (94–218 ppm) contents, and relatively lowratios of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0·7046–0·7061), ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb(18·21–18·89), ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (15·49–15·61)and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (38·42–38·89), and highratios of ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (0·5124–0·5127). Incontrast, younger volcanic rocks in the western Qiangtang terrane(     

Near-Ultrahigh Pressure Processing of Continental Crust: Miocene Crustal Xenoliths from the Pamir

Xenoliths of subducted crustal origin hosted by Miocene ultrapotassicigneous rocks in the southern Pamir provide important new informationregarding the geological processes accompanying tectonism duringthe Indo-Eurasian collision. Four types have been studied: sanidineeclogites (omphacite, garnet, sanidine, quartz, biotite, kyanite),felsic granulites (garnet, quartz, sanidine and kyanite), basalticeclogites (omphacite and garnet), and a glimmerite (biotite,clinopyroxene and sanidine). Apatite, rutile and carbonate arethe most abundant minor phases. Hydrous phases (biotite andphengite in felsic granulites and basaltic eclogites, amphibolesin mafic and sanidine eclogites) and plagioclase form minorinclusions in garnet or kyanite. Solid-phase thermobarometryreveals recrystallization at mainly ultrahigh temperatures of1000–1100°C and near-ultrahigh pressures of 2·5–2·8GPa. Textures, parageneses and mineral compositions suggestderivation of the xenoliths from subducted basaltic, tonaliticand pelitic crust that experienced high-pressure dehydrationmelting, K-rich metasomatism, and solid-state re-equilibration.The timing of these processes is constrained by zircon agesfrom the xenoliths and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of the host volcanic rocksto 57–11 Ma. These xenoliths reveal that deeply subductedcrust may undergo extensive dehydration-driven partial melting,density-driven differentiation and disaggregation, and sequestrationwithin the mantle. These processes may also contribute to thealkaline volcanism observed in continent-collision zones. KEY WORDS: xenolith; high-pressure; subduction; Pamir; Tibet     

柴北缘从大洋俯冲到陆陆碰撞:来自开屏沟造山带M型橄榄岩的证据

造山带幔源（M型）橄榄岩虽然在高压/超高压变质带分布不多,但由于其来自俯冲板块上覆的岩石圈地幔,因此是研究俯冲隧道内俯冲板片与地幔楔之间相互作用的重要对象,对于还原超高压变质带的演化有重要意义.柴北缘鱼卡榴辉岩-片麻岩区边部附近的开屏沟存在一套橄榄岩,其岩石类型、成因、时代等都缺乏研究.对开屏沟橄榄岩全岩的主量和微量元素及铂族元素、橄榄石主量元素、锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素进行了研究.结果显示,其全岩具有高的Mg#、Mg/Si和Ni值,同时表现出亏损难溶的HFSE和HREE,轻微富集LILE和LREE中与流体活动性相关的元素;橄榄石具有较高的Fo值（90.11~92.77）与NiO含量（0.32%~0.45%）、低的CaO含量（< 0.02%）;PGEs的球粒陨石标准化配分模式与交代橄榄岩和残留橄榄岩近似;两组变质锆石年龄为459.5±3.6 Ma和417.5±2.7 Ma,对应的ε_Hf（t）值为-0.71~9.45和-11.96~-1.20,分别反映了洋壳流体（或早期大陆俯冲板片流体）和陆壳流体交代的性质和时限.开屏沟橄榄岩来源于俯冲带上覆地幔楔,遭受了不同来源流体不同程度的交代作用而获得地壳特征,同时为柴北缘大洋俯冲到陆陆碰撞的构造演化提供了新证据.      

Numerical Modelling of a Randomized RTF Magma Chamber: A Comparison with Continental Flood Basalt Sequences

The concept of long-lived magma chambers in which goechemicalevolution is controlled by periodic replenishment, tapping (eruption),and crystal fractionation, the so-called RTF chamber, is thesubject of previous numerical models by O'Hara (1977) and O'Hara& Mathews (1981). These authors explore the properties ofidealized steady-state chambers, using constant parameters toexpress amounts of replenishment, fractionation and tapping.The present work introduces randomizing factors into these parameters,to attempt to simulate the natural world more closely. Comparisonis made with continental flood basalt (CFB) sequences whicherupt in a quasi-steady state, the geochemical characteristicsof which can readily be matched by numerical models, althoughno detailed inversion of the natural data is possible. However,if such sequences do in fact originate in RTF chambers, conventionalestimates of the mass of concealed cumulates will generallybe under-estimates. Additionally, it is possible to place limitson the magnitudes of the x (amount of fractionation) and y (amountof tapping) parameters, and on the x/y ratio, the main factorscontrolling general levels of trace element concentrations.Small values of x and y (e.g., 0.1 or less) coupled with largevalues of x/y (e.g., 10 or more) can theoretically produce dramaticgeochemical effects, but although the CFB data are consistentwith the former, the x/y ratio appears to be constrained tothe range 0.5–1.3. Changes in inter-incompatible elementratios observed in a Deccan traps sequence studied in detailcannot be interpreted as RTF-generated in a system with constant-compositionmagma input and no assimilation or contamination.
