俯衝帶變質作用

维基百科,自由的百科全书

俯衝帶變質作用(英語:subduction zone metamorphisim)是指在岩石圈向下俯衝過程中,所經歷的低溫,高到超高壓變質環境,形成的一系列的變質岩相的礦物組合[1]。由淺到深,變質岩相是沸石相(英語:zeolite facoies)、葡萄石-绿纤石相藍片岩相和榴輝岩相(英語:eclogite facies[2][3] [4].俯衝板塊由玄武質地殼和上覆遠海沉積物組成, 然而,遠海沉積物多半被增生到弧前地區而不俯衝到深部[5]。在俯衝中,板塊的變質多半是由含水礦物脫水引起的。含水礦物的分解通常在 10 公里的深度開始,將水釋放到地幔中。從而降低了地幔岩石的熔點,引發了部分熔融[6]。 這些變質岩相中,每一個都有指標礦物組合,代表其經歷的變質環境[7]。 了解這些脫水反應發生的時間和條件,是解釋地幔熔融、火山弧岩漿作用和大陸地殼形成的關鍵[8]
