Contemporaneous eruptions of calc-alkaline and alkaline magmas along the volcanic front of the Mexican Volcanic Belt
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
De acuerdo con los modelos generales para los arcos volcánicos relacionados con la subducción, las composiciones del magma se hacen progresivamente más ricas en K20 y los elementos incompatibles, a medida que aumentan la distancia desde la trinchera y el frente volcánico, y la profundidad de la zona de Benioff. Los magmas típicos de los arcos son característicamente normativos de hiperesteno y cuarzo. Los basaltos alcalinos normativos de nefelino se supone que son expulsados, si acaso, sólo a grandes distancias de la trinchera. Sin embargo, a lo largo del frente del Eje Volcánico Mexicano han hecho erupción magmas básicos alcálicos hídricos, normativos de nefelino en dos diferentes sitios durante el Período Cuaternario Tardío: en el graben del sur de Colima y en el campo volcánico del sur de Michoacán y Guanajuato. En ambos lugares hicieron erupción contemporáneamente magmas calcalcalinos normativos de hiperesteno y cuarzo, característicos de los frentes volcánicos. Estas secuencias contrastantes de magmas no pueden ser correlacionadas mediante un mecanismo simple; parecen registrar distintos episodios de fusión dentro del manto superior.
