using magma mixing/mingling evidence for understanding magmatic evolution at mount bidkhan stratovolcano (south-east iran)
Authors
abstract
mount bidkhan stratovolcano is located in the central iranian volcanic belt. it is composed of several types of pyroclastic deposits, lava flows and intrusive bodies. textural and chemical characteristics of plagioclase phenocrysts from the eruptive products volcanic edifice, record complex magma mixing events over the lifetime of the volcano. evidences such as xenocrystic high al+ti clinopyroxene and calcic cored plagioclase phenocrysts (an 75) in andesites, sieve-textured, dusty, and oscillatory zoned plagioclase together with clear normally zoned ones in the same sample and the wide compositional range of the plagioclase rims, show that magma mixing events have been playing an important role in the origin of bidkhan eruptive products . based on whole evidences, we propose a model for the evolution of bidkhan parent magmas. according to the model, it is likely that mantle derived basic melts are injected into the lower crust, cause partial melting and produced acidic primitive melts. these two melts are then, mixed and resulted hybrid magmas, ascend toward the shallower reservoirs. repeated magma injection gives rise to a second mixing event. thus eruptive products at mount bidkhan have been originated from the mixing of intermediate hybrid magmas within shallow magma chambers. sometimes, two melts have been erupted simultaneously as mingled melts. this model can be tested for other volcanic province of central iranian volcanic belt.

[1] A series of ERS radar interferograms that collectively span the time interval from July 1992 to August 2000 reveal that a presumed magma body located 6.6 ± 0.5 km beneath the southwest flank of the Mount Peulik volcano inflated 0.051 ± 0.005 km between October 1996 and September 1998. Peulik has been active only twice during historical time, in 1814 and 1852, and the volcano was otherwise q...

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...
full textTime-resolved seismic tomography detects magma intrusions at Mount Etna.
The continuous volcanic and seismic activity at Mount Etna makes this volcano an important laboratory for seismological and geophysical studies. We used repeated three-dimensional tomography to detect variations in elastic parameters during different volcanic cycles, before and during the October 2002-January 2003 flank eruption. Well-defined anomalous low P- to S-wave velocity ratio volumes we...
