The Role of Deformation in the Formation of Metamorphic Gradients: Ridge Subduction beneath the Oman Ophiolite
Two tectonic scenarios have been proposed for genesis and emplacement of the Oman ophiolite. One suggests that the ophiolite was generated at a spreading center, the other suggests generation within an intraoceanic arc. An integrated thermal and kinematic model of the temperature, stress, rock type, and displacement fields during early stages of the emplacement ofthe Oman ophiolite was develope...
متن کاملMelt viscosity, temperature and transport processes, Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus
The lava section in the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, is chemically stratified and divided into a shallow lava sequence with low TiO2 content and a deeper lava sequence with high TiO2 content. We calculate the viscosity at magmatic temperature based on major element chemistry of lavas in Cyprus Crustal Drilling Project (CCSP) Holes CY-1 and 1A. We find that typical shallow low-Ti lavas have a magm...
متن کاملGeochemical mapping of the Kings-Kaweah ophiolite belt, California-Evidence for progressive melange formation in a large offset transform-subduction initiation environment
The Kings-Kaweah ophiolite belt of the southwestern Sierra Nevada Foothills was generated in two pulses of mid-oceanic-ridge basalt (MORB) magmatism. The first was in the Early Ordovician, which resulted in the generation of a complete abyssal crust and upper mantle section. The crustal section was rendered from convecting mantle whose Nd, Sr, and Pb isotopic systematics lie at the extreme end ...
متن کاملSubduction zone anisotropy beneath Corvallis, Oregon: A serpentinite skid mark of trench-parallel terrane migration?
[1] We studied the back azimuth dependence of Ps converted phases at GSN station COR (Corvallis, Oregon) using broadband P receiver functions computed from 602 teleseismic earthquakes. The amplitudes and polarities of the transverse Ps phases are largely two-lobed, which indicates anisotropy with a tilted symmetry axis. A double-peaked Ps conversion at 4.5–6.5 s delay has the moveout of a dippi...
متن کاملA Model for the Plate Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Region that Emphasizes the Role of Transform (Strike-Slip) Structures
A model for the tectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean region from Mesozoic to Present is developed from geological, geophysical, and seismological data on and surrounding the island of Cyprus. This model emphasizes the role of major transform structures in accommodating horizontal plate motions, driven from the west by spreading along the Atlantic-Arctic mid-ocean-ridge system and fro...
