Magma degassing and basaltic eruption styles: a case study of V2000 year BP Xitle volcano in central Mexico
To investigate the relationship between volatile abundances and eruption style, we have analyzed major element and volatile (H2O, CO2, S) concentrations in olivine-hosted melt inclusions in tephra from the V2000 yr BP eruption of Xitle volcano in the central Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The Xitle eruption was dominantly effusive, with fluid lava flows accounting for V95% of the total dense rock...
متن کاملNonequilibrium magma degassing: Results from modeling of the ca. 1340 A.D. eruption of Mono Craters, California
We present results from a numerical conduit model of nonequilibrium magma degassing. We show that CO2 /H2O concentration ratios in pyroclastic obsidian from the ca. 1340 A.D. Mono Craters eruption may record nonequilibrium degassing during magma ascent. Our results also indicate that permeability-controlled, open-system gas loss is consistent with obsidian formation and promotes nonequilibrium ...
متن کاملMount St. Helens and Santiaguito lava domes: The effect of short- term eruption rate on surface texture and degassing processes
In order to assess the effect of eruption rate on the surface morphology and degassing mechanisms of silicic lava flows, we studied surface characteristics and obtained water content and hydrogen isotopic values of samples from flows at the Mount St. Helens and Santiaguito lava domes. We compared the surface textures and inferred degassing processes to short-term extrusion rates and found that ...
متن کاملQuaternary volcanism in Tabas and the role of the Nayband great fault
Introduction: Quaternary basalts are one of the last signs of magmatism in Iran, some of which are related to deep fractures and active faults in the Quaternary. Quaternary basalts of Tabas are very important due to their high expansion and location in eastern Iran, and are located 140 km south east of Tabas city and according to the proposed divisions are part of the Lut zone. The aim of this...
متن کاملErosion by flowing Martian lava: New insights for Hecates Tholus from Mars Express and MER data
[1] We have used new compositional information on Martian basaltic rocks from the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit and data from new stereo imaging by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on the Mars Express orbiter to constrain an existing analyticalnumerical computer model to assess the potential of Martian lavas to form lava channels by erosion of substrate. The basaltic rocks studied in Gu...
