adakitic volcanism in sahand region, northwest iran: geochemical and geodynamic implications
نویسندگان
چکیده
we present new whole major and trace elements data for a suite of adakitic dacite to rhyolite rocks from the sahand region. these rocks formed in the pliocene to pleistocene during the the collision between the arabian and eurasian plates following subduction of neo–tethys ocean. these subvolcanic intrusions were emplaced into late cretaceous and eocene sedimentary، volcano–clastic and volcanic rocks. geochemical data indicate that the subalkaline dacitic to rhyodacitic rocks have an adakitic characteristics with na2o/k2o (1.8–3.16), high sr (391–804ppm), mg# = (18–57) and low y (3.6–20.8 ppm), low yb (0.65–1.29 ppm), and low heavy rare earth element (hree) abundances. fractionated ree patterns with, (ce/yb)n = 10–27, absence of negative eu anomalies, low content of y, nb, ti, and high sr/y ratios (74–265) suggest that the source was likely hydrous garnet–amphibolite or eclogite, possibly generated during subduction of the neo–tethyan oceanic slab beneath the central iran microplate. the adakitic volcanism was followed by eruption of alkaline magmatism in this area. slab melting occurred after cessation of subduction, possibility cause by the collision. transtensional tectonics accompanied by a locally extensional stress regime is account for magma genesis and ascent.

In the Central IranianVolcanic Belt (CIVB), north-west of Shahre-Babak, in the area of Javazm, Dehaj and khabr, about 60 subvolcanic porphyritic dacitic to rhyodacitic domes (1-10 km2) are intruded into a variety of rock sequences from Mesozoic to Early Miocene in age. These rocks are a part of Dehaj-Sardoieh belt. The CIVB contains intrusive and extrusive rocks of Cretaceous-Quaternary age. Ge...
متن کاملMud volcanism: Processes and implications
Mud volcanoes can be large and long lived geological structures that morphologically resemble magmatic volcanoes. Because of their capricious behaviour and their spectacular morphology and landscapes, mud volcanoes have attracted attention since antiquity. More recently, mud volcanoes have become the focus of extensive studies for natural science research, including geologists and biologists. M...
