In our case, this idea also finds support from strontium isotope data. On the 87Sr/86Sr vs. 87Rb/86Sr dia- gram, rocks from the V-1 to V-12 set fit the 170 Myr old reference isochron reasonably well, but not the AL set (Fig. 2), which has higher 87Sr/86Sr values. The different dispersion and departure from the reference isochron displayed by both rock series cannot be attributed to post consolidation phe- a nomena, since both rock types are equally affected by them, but alterna- tively they most likely reflect primary differences. The fact that ultrapotassic lavas also have a high proportion of radiogenic strontium could indicate a higher contribution of crustal compo- nent in the form of KMg fluids. Based b on their age relationships, chemistry and isotope geology, we therefore sug- gest that the JSVR originated during the beginning of an extensional regime c in a zone with a thick continental crust, probably overthickenned during the Hercynian convergence.

  • Mantle Hydration and Cl-Rich Fluids in the Subduction Forearc Bruno Reynard1,2
    Reynard Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2016) 3:9 Progress in Earth and DOI 10.1186/s40645-016-0090-9 Planetary Science REVIEW Open Access Mantle hydration and Cl-rich fluids in the subduction forearc Bruno Reynard1,2 Abstract In the forearc region, aqueous fluids are released from the subducting slab at a rate depending on its thermal state. Escaping fluids tend to rise vertically unless they meet permeability barriers such as the deformed plate interface or the Moho of the overriding plate. Channeling of fluids along the plate interface and Moho may result in fluid overpressure in the oceanic crust, precipitation of quartz from fluids, and low Poisson ratio areas associated with tremors. Above the subducting plate, the forearc mantle wedge is the place of intense reactions between dehydration fluids from the subducting slab and ultramafic rocks leading to extensive serpentinization. The plate interface is mechanically decoupled, most likely in relation to serpentinization, thereby isolating the forearc mantle wedge from convection as a cold, potentially serpentinized and buoyant, body. Geophysical studies are unique probes to the interactions between fluids and rocks in the forearc mantle, and experimental constrains on rock properties allow inferring fluid migration and fluid-rock reactions from geophysical data. Seismic velocities reveal a high degree of serpentinization of the forearc mantle in hot subduction zones, and little serpentinization in the coldest subduction zones because the warmer the subduction zone, the higher the amount of water released by dehydration of hydrothermally altered oceanic lithosphere. Interpretation of seismic data from petrophysical constrain is limited by complex effects due to anisotropy that needs to be assessed both in the analysis and interpretation of seismic data.

  • Physiography of the Seafloor Hypsometric Curve for Earth’S Solid Surface
    OCN 201 Physiography of the Seafloor Hypsometric Curve for Earth’s solid surface Note histogram Hypsometric curve of Earth shows two modes. Hypsometric curve of Venus shows only one! Why? Ocean Depth vs. Height of the Land Why do we have dry land? • Solid surface of Earth is Hypsometric curve dominated by two levels: – Land with a mean elevation of +840 m = 0.5 mi. (29% of Earth surface area). – Ocean floor with mean depth of -3800 m = 2.4 mi. (71% of Earth surface area). If Earth were smooth, depth of oceans would be 2450 m = 1.5 mi. over the entire globe! Origin of Continents and Oceans • Crust is formed by differentiation from mantle. • A small fraction of mantle melts. • Melt has a different composition from mantle. • Melt rises to form crust, of two types: 1) Oceanic 2) Continental Two Types of Crust on Earth • Oceanic Crust – About 6 km thick – Density is 2.9 g/cm3 – Bulk composition: basalt (Hawaiian islands are made of basalt.) • Continental Crust – About 35 km thick – Density is 2.7 g/cm3 – Bulk composition: andesite Concept of Isostasy: I If I drop a several blocks of wood into a bucket of water, which block will float higher? A. A thick block made of dense wood (koa or oak) B. A thin block made of light wood (balsa or pine) C. A thick block made of light wood (balsa or pine) D. A thin block made of dense wood (koa or oak) Concept of Isostasy: II • Derived from Greek: – Iso equal – Stasia standing • Density and thickness of a body determine how high it will float (and how deep it will sink).

The experimental data and steady-state calculations make it difficult M to explain the discontinuity beneath both oceans and continents on the basis of the same change. The phase oceanic M discontinuity may be a chemical discontinuity between basalt and peridotite , and a similar chemical discontinuity ma,y thus be expected b�neath the conti­ nents. Since ayailable experimental data place the basalt-eclogite phase change at about thE' same depth as the continental M discontinuity, intersections may exist between a zone of chemical discontinuity and a phase transition zone, the transition being either basalt-ecloO"ite or feldspathic peridotite-garnet peridotite. Detection of the latter transition by seismic t�'h­ niques ma,y be difficult. The M discontinuity could therefore represent the basalt-eclogite phase change in some localities (e.g. mountain belts) and the chemical discontinuity in others (e.g. oceans and continental shields).

  • Cretaceous History of Pacific Basin Guyot Reefs: a Reappraisal Based on Geothermal Endo-Upwelling

Fagerstrom a QRSTQM, B. P. 529, Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia Departinent of GeologicalSciences, The Uiziversity of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA Received 23 July, 1992; revised and accepted 15 April 1994 Abstract The mid-Cretaceous histories (origin, growth, death) of algal-rudist-stromatoporoid reef communities located on many Pacific Basin guyots are complex and controversial. These shallow water, tropical communities originated on volcanic edifices extruded during the Barremian-Albian, grew upward during edifice subsidenceftransgression throughout the Aptian, Albian and Cenomanian and several of them died almost synchronously near the Cenomanian- Turonian boundary. During their periods of origin and growth, we postulate that the reef ecosystems received dissolved oxygen by wave surge and nutrients by geothermal endo-upwelling. By this process oceanic waters of intermediate depth (approx. 500-1500 m) were: (a) drawn into the weathered and fractured volcanic summit and lower part of the older reef and driven upward through the porous framework by the remnant geothermal gradient of the volcanic foundation and (b) emerged at the reef surface to support the high metabolism of the living community. The death of most of the reefs near the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary approximately coincides with the most intense oceanic anoxic event (Om)in Pacific Ocean history. During this OAE the chemistry of the endo-upwelled fluids arriving at the reef surface changed from nutrient/oxygen-rich to dysoxic-anoxic-toxic, and killed the community.
