摘要:

翁通爪哇高原、凯尔盖朗高原与沙茨基海隆是全球三大洋底高原, 是大量岩浆喷发到地表的结果, 火山面积分别达1.90×106、1.25×106、0.53×106km2。本文详细分析了该三大洋底高原的地形、剩余地幔布格重力异常(residual mantle Bouguer anomaly, RMBA)与重力反演的相对地壳厚度, 并结合地质与地球化学特征约束进行对比研究。结果显示, 翁通爪哇高原、凯尔盖朗高原与沙茨基海隆分别高出周围海底约4.3、5、4km, 相应的地幔布格重力异常最大变化值分别为250、330、200mGal, 以及相应的相对地壳厚度变化分别为11、13、9km, 表明形成三大洋底高原的岩浆量远远大于正常洋中脊的岩浆量。此外, 三大洋底高原皆形成于洋中脊附近。Nd、Pb、Hf同位素比值分析表明, 翁通爪哇高原的玄武岩组分为洋岛玄武岩; 凯尔盖朗高原大部分类似于洋岛玄武岩, 并含有洋中脊玄武岩组分; 沙茨基海隆的玄武岩组分主要为东太平洋海隆正常洋中脊玄武岩, 却又存在少量位于全球洋岛玄武岩范围内。这些特征揭示了三大洋底高原可能形成于“地幔柱-洋中脊相互作用”。对此本文提出了两种模式: 一为洋中脊被地幔柱拖拽至其上方; 二为洋中脊之下的软流圈受到地幔柱影响, 从而产生超常熔融与超厚地壳。

Abstract:

The Ontong Java Plateau, Kerguelen Plateau, and Shatsky Rise are the three largest oceanic plateaus on Earth, exhibiting voluminous magmatism with areas of 1.90×106, 1.25×106, and 0.53×106 km2, respectively. In this study, we conducted a detailed comparative analysis of bathymetry, residual mantle Bouguer anomaly (RMBA), and gravity-derived relative crustal thickness of the three plateaus, correlating results with geological and geochemical constraints. Relative to adjacent normal seafloors, the Ontong Java Plateau is elevated by 4.3 km; the Kerguelen Plateau, by 5 km; and the Shatsky Rise, by 4 km. The corresponding peak-to-trough amplitudes in RMBA are about 250, 330, and 200 mGal, while the relative crustal thickness variations are of 11, 13, and 9 km, respectively, implying that the magma output forming these three oceanic plateaus is far more than that generated by a normal mid-ocean ridge. Moreover, all three plateaus were formed near mid-ocean ridge or ridge triple junction settings. Isotopic analyses of Nd, Pb, and Hf reveal that the Ontong Java Plateau is characterized by ocean island basalts (OIB); most of the Kerguelen Plateau is predominantly OIB, but is mixed with some mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB); and most of the Shatsky Rise volcanism shows East Pacific Rise-type MORB, with a few exceptions of OIB-like components. These features imply that these oceanic plateaus were probably formed by “plume-ridge interaction”. Two models are proposed herein: (1) the peripheral mid-ocean ridge is dragged onto the top of the mantle plume, and/or (2) the asthenosphere is fed by plume material nearby, resulting in melting anomalies and the resultant thickened crust along the mid-ocean ridge.

Key words: Ontong Java Plateau, Kerguelen Plateau, Shatsky Rise, gravity anomaly, crustal thickness, plume-ridge interaction
