Alkaline Rocks and Geodynamics

چکیده
105 Abstract: Origin of A-type alkali feldspar granites is currently the subject of a world-wide debate. Contrasting hypotheses have been proposed, which range from an entirely crustal origin to an almost complete mantle derivation. A-type alkali feldspar granites belong to either unimodal granite (rhyolite)-dominated association, or bimodal gabbro (basalt)-granite (rhyolite) suite. It is argued that (i) the ultimate mantle origin of basic to intermediate rocks is beyond doubt, (ii) highly evolved felsic rocks may be produced by other processes besides crustal involvement through anatexis and (iii) large volumes of felsic rocks are a normal and direct consequence of extensive crystal fractionation processes.

The alkaline extrusive rocks of Neogene from Nehbandan-Assagie region, eastern Iran, include basanite, hawaiite, mugearite and benmoreite. Relatively low Ni and Cr contents and Mg-numbers of basanites are indicative of olivine and clinopyroxene fractionation from their relevant primary magma. Decreasing of CaO, TiO2, FeOt, HREEs and MREEs with increasing SiO2 indicate fractional crystallization...

Clinopyroxene phenocrysts and microphenocrysts in potassic and sodic Eosen alkaline volcanic rocks from the northern Lahrud (NW Iran) record various stages in the crystallization and evolution history of the alkaline melt as well as its origin. The rock series hosting the clinopyroxene phenocrysts is phonolitic tephrite and tephritic phonolite composition. Theses rocks generally show porphyriti...

At the base of Shemshak Formation in the south Azadshahr area, some igneous mafic rocks are discovered recently as olivine gabbro bodies and pegmatoid alkali-diorite dikes. Rock-forming minerals of olivine gabbro includes olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase, alkali-diorites are composed of large amphiboles and plagioclase. Major and trace elements characteristics of these rocks indicate the...

The Pliocene calc-alkaline volcanic rocks are exposed in two areas in southeast and northwest of Isfahan and consist of andesites and dacites. Based on geochemical data and multi- elements pattern, these rocks are medium to high calc-alkaline suite and they show LILE and LREE enriched normalized multi-element patterns, and negative Nb and Ti. Condrite-normalized REE patterns display a steep dec...
