23. Frontal Thrust, Oregon Accretionary Prism: Geometry, Physical Properties, and Fluid Pressure
The frontal thrust of the Oregon accretionary prism scrapes off about 2 km of incoming sedimentary section and underlies a fault-bend fold of the first ridge landward of the abyssal plain. Scarps with associated chemosynthetic biological communities at the surface and pore-water anomalies at depth indicate that the frontal thrust is tectonically and hydrologically active. At Site 891, near seis...
متن کاملPetrogenesis of mantle peridotites from the South of Jazmourian, Makran accretionary prism, Iran
Mantle peridotites exposed in south Jazmourian comprise of lherzolite and porphyroclastic Cpx-bearing harzburgite in the lower part with chromitite lenses in the upper parts. Petrography and microprobe studies shows evidence of melt-peridotite interactions; post melting processes and subsolidus interactions, which has been associated with appearance of two generations of deformed primary pyroxe...
متن کاملHeat flow and fluid flow regime in the western Nankai accretionary prism
The thermal structure of the western Nankai subduction zone has been studied through surface heat flow measurements with conventional geothermal probes and estimation of heat flow from depths of gas hydrate bottom simulating reflectors. Temperature and thermal conductivity measurements at ODP Site 808, located at the toe of the Nankai accretionary prism, added important information on any varia...
متن کاملODP Leg 196: Logging-While-Drilling and Advanced CORKs at the Nankai Trough Accretionary Prism
The Nankai Trough marks the location where the Philippine Sea Plate begins subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. The Nankai Trough subduction system has played an important role in causing many catastrophic earthquakes, a phenomenon observed at many other subduction zones (Ando, 1975). Recent studies have established that fluids play a major role in the physical and chemical evolution of subdu...
متن کاملImplications of carbon £ux from the Cascadia accretionary prism: results from long-term, in situ measurements at ODP Site 892B
A 403-day in situ field experiment at Ocean Drilling Program Site 892B sought to quantify the flux of methane along a fluid-active fault and to experimentally determine rates of methane hydrate and authigenic carbonate deposition associated with fluid expulsion from the borehole. An instrument package was deployed that osmotically sampled fluid, measured borehole pressure and flow rates, and co...
