Widespread assimilation of a seawater-derived component at Loihi Seamount, Hawaii
Many tholeiitic and transitional pillow-rim and fragmental glasses from Loihi seamount, Hawaii, have high Cl contents and Cl/K2O ratios (and ratios of Cl to other incompatible components, such as P2O5, H2O, etc.) relative to other Hawaiian subaerial volcanoes (e.g., Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Kilauea). We suggest that this results from widespread contamination of Loihi magmas by a Cl-rich, seawa...
متن کاملAssimilation of seawater-derived components in an oceanic volcano: evidence from matrix glasses and glass inclusions from Loihi seamount, Hawaii
We report major element, H O, Cl, B, and Be analyses of matrix glass and olivine-hosted glass inclusions from two 2 Ž pillow lava samples dredged from 4200 m on the southern rift zone of Loihi seamount, Hawaii. Matrix glasses MgO;9 . wt.% have H O, Cl, and B contents considerably in excess of the values expected from mantle melting or fractional 2 crystallization of parental Loihi magmas. Glass...
متن کاملDiverse Mn(II)-Oxidizing Bacteria Isolated from Submarine Basalts at Loihi Seamount
Metal-oxidizing bacteria may play a key role in the submarine weathering of volcanic rocks and the formation of ferromanganese crusts. Putative fossil microbes encrusted in Mn oxide phases are commonly observed on volcanic glasses recovered from the deep ocean; however, no known Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria have been directly identified or cultured from natural weathered basalts. To isolate epilit...
متن کاملEocene-Oligocene volcanic units of momen abad, east of Iran: petrogenesis and magmatic evolution
This study investigates petrology and major, minor, and rare earth elements geochemistry of East Iranian Eocene–Oligocene volcanic rocks in Sistan suture zone, to examine their petrogenesis and magma evolution. The volcanic rocks include andesite, trachy-andesite, dacite and rhyolite. These calc-alkaline rocks of high-K series are enriched in Large Ion Lithophile Elements of Rb and Ba a...
متن کاملPetrography, geochemistry and petrogenesis of Damavand volcano: Comparison of different volcanic generations
1-Introduction Damavand volcano was formed by explosive and non-explosive eruptions on the old eroded rock units (Mesozoic and older) of Central Alborz during the Quaternary period and formed two huge cone (Old and Young Damavand). Davidson et al. (2004) determined the time of Old-Damavand activity from 1800 to 800 thousand years ago by measuring Ar/Ar and U-Th/He methods. According to their ...
