there are three different basic dykes in the northeast of golpayegan area, central part of sanandaj-sirjan zone (ssz) including: mylonitic gabbros (group 1), alkali dioritic-basanitic dykes (group 2) and alkali monzogabbroic to monzodioritic dykes (group 3). group 2 and 3 cut post-collisional rocks and are related to after subduction processes of neo-tethys. geochemistry characteristic of studi...

Most tectonic models consider that the “Samail subduction zone” was only zone at mid-Cretaceous convergent Arabian margin. We report four new Rb-Sr multimineral isochron ages from high-pressure (HP) rocks and a major shear of uppermost Ruwi-Yiti Unit Saih Hatat window in Oman Mountains NE Arabia. These demand reassessment intraoceanic suprasubduction-zone evolution formed Samail Ophiolite its m...

In contrast to continent/continent collision, arc-continent collision generates very short-lived orogeny because the buoyancy-driven impedance of the subduction of continental lithosphere, accompanied by arc/suprasubduction-zone ophiolite obduction, is relieved by subduction polarity reversal (flip). This tectonic principle is illustrated by the early Ordovician Grampian Orogeny in the British ...

Eocene intermediate to felsic subvolcanic rocks of the Torud-Ahmad Abad magmatic belt (TAMB), in northern part Central Iran zone, are exposed between Torud and Ahmad regions South-Southeast Shahrood. These igneous include hypabyssal dacite, trachyte, andesite, trachy-andesite, basaltic andesite; they mainly composed phenocrysts microcrystalline groundmass pyroxene, amphibole, plagioclase, with ...

The undesired operation of zone 3 may be one of the most conspicuous protective relay features due to the incorrect zone 3 relay operations which have been conducive to the severity of blackouts. Therefore, determining the accurate zone 3 setting of the distance relay is deemed to be necessary. This paper focuses on the development of a new technique for calculating zone-3 setting of distance r...

the halak abad prospect occurs in the northeastern part of central iran zone (sabzevar structural zone). in this investigation, geochemical evolution, age and source of part of northeastern iran magmatic arc (intrusive bodies) in halak abad area in the khorasan razavi province has been studied. the exposed rocks consist of volcanic rocks with andesite and dacite nature, limestone, plutonic rock...

Abstract We present a summary of peridotite in the Subantarctic (46–60° S) surrounding Antarctic Plate. Peridotite xenoliths occur on Kerguelen Islands and Auckland Islands. The are underlain by plume, whereas part continental Zealandia, which is Gondwana-rifted fragment. Small amounts serpentinized has been dredged from fracture zones Southeast Indian Ridge, Southwest Ridge Pacific represent u...

Sheeted dike complexes, in which dike intrudes dike without intermediate screens of gabbro or pillow lava, have long been considered key features of oceanic lithosphere and ophiolites formed in extensional environments. The presence of a sheeted complex implies an approximate balance between spreading rate and magma supply, such that there is just enough melt to fill newly formed fractures prod...
