洋中脊下非均匀地幔中的熔体输运速率

Melt transport rates in heterogeneous mantle beneath mid-ocean ridges

Samuel M. Weatherley, Richard F. Katz

摘要:

最近的见解,熔融迁移下的山脊表明,渠道化的流动是一个不均匀的地幔熔融的结果,和扩张速率调制的动力学的本地化流。这一发现的一个推论是,地幔异质性和扩张速率都对熔体迁移的速度和时间尺度有影响。在这里,我们调查这些影响,在扩张板块下的非均质地幔岩浆流动的数值模型。这些模型预测,广泛分布的岩浆流动速度是亚洋脊地幔的特征。在熔融区域内,岩浆流是最快的平均熔融性的地区,令人惊讶的是,岩浆从高于平均熔融性的来源旅行到海脊在较长的时间。铺展速率具有相对简单的结果,主要导致在较高的扩张速率下更快的分离速度。计算的时间尺度是足够短的保存深源230 Th不平衡,并在有利的参数制度,也226 Ra过剩。从模型的一个重要预测是,地幔异质性诱导显着的自然变异到U系列不平衡,复杂的不平衡和脊属性或化学特征的异质性之间的关系的识别。

英文摘要:

Recent insights to melt migration beneath ridges suggest that channelized flow is a consequence of melting of a heterogeneous mantle, and that spreading rate modulates the dynamics of the localized flow. A corollary of this finding is that both mantle het- erogeneity and spreading rate have implications for the speed and time scale of melt migration. Here, we investigate these implications using numerical models of magma flow in heterogeneous mantle beneath spreading plates. The models predict that a broad distribution of magma flow speeds is characteristic of the sub-ridge mantle. Within the melting region, magmatic flow is fastest in regions of average fusibility; surprisingly, magmas from sources of above-average fusibility travel to the ridge in a longer time. Spreading rate has comparatively simple consequences, mainly resulting in faster segregation speeds at higher spreading rates. The computed time scales are short enough to preserve deep origin 230Th disequilibria and, under favourable parameter regimes, also 226Ra excesses. An important prediction from the models is that mantle heterogeneity induces significant natural variability into U-series disequilibria, complicating the identification of relationships between disequilibria and ridge properties or chemical signatures of heterogeneity.
