Troodos: A Giant Serpentinite Diapir
Troodos is a classical ophiolite complex. It is proposed that the serpentinized harzburgites that now form the top of the mountain and represent the originally lowest part of the ophiolite sequence rose as a diapir. This diapiric rise is caused by the pervasive serpentinization of a suboceanic harzburgite, due to rock-sea water interaction. The serpentinization caused a 44% expansion of the roc...
متن کاملDiapir-induced Reorientation of Enceladus
Introduction: The south polar region of Enceladus, a small icy satellite of Saturn, consists of young, tectonically deformed terrain and has an anomalously high heat flux [1,2]. We find that the pole-centered location of this region can be explained by reorientation of Enceladus induced by a large, low-density ice diapir within a relatively thick ice mantle. Poleward reorientation requires that...

متن کامل“massif’ Anorthosites in Alha81005: Possible Origin from a Diapir?
Introduction: Ferroan anorthosite is a dominant rock type in the lunar highland crust. Currently it is thought that the crust was formed by the crystallization and flotation of plagioclase from a global magma ocean [1,2]. This hypothesis of the lunar crust formation was made based on numerous analyses of Apollo and Luna lunar samples of ferroan anorthosites. Nevertheless these samples are now k...
متن کاملVerde Macael: A Serpentinite Wrongly Referred to as a Marble
Serpentinites are used in both exterior and interior locations, but not all serpentinites are equal: they vary in physical-mechanical behavior and are not all suitable for similar uses. The serpentinites most commonly used worldwide come from India, Pakistan or Egypt. Spain has traditionally quarried two ultramafic massifs, one in Galicia (Verde Pirineos) and one in Andalucía (Verde Macael). So...
