Abstract:
한반도 남부의 백악기-제3기초 화강암의 암석학적 특징과 연대측정 자료들을 종합하여 시공간적 변화를 반영하는 지구조 모델을 제안하고자 하였다. 여러 암석기재와 지화학적 연구결과로부터 이들 화강암류는 대륙 연변부에서 해양지각의 섭입에 의해 형성된 마그마 기원으로 지각 천처에서 정치된 특징을 보인다. 또한 화강암류 내에는 고화과정 중 맨틀에서 유래한 염기성 마그마의 주입에 의한 마그마 혼합을 지시하는 다양한 형태와 크기의 MME들이 분포한다. MME의 분포와 화강암의 연령자료를 함께 살펴보면 시공간적으로 일정한 시기의 것들이 일정한 지역에 한정되어 분포하는 양상을 보인다. 이러한 특징은 후기 백악기의 이자나기-태평양판의 해령섭입으로 인한 다중 슬랩 윈도우 모델에 의해 설명될 수 있다. Based on the petrologic and age data of the Cretaceous to early Tertiary granites in south Korea, we propose a new tectonic model reflecting their temporal and spatial variations. A number of petrographic and geochemical studies on the granites suggest that they originated from the magma formed by subduction of oceanic crust in continental margin and were emplaced in epizone. The MMEs with various shapes and sizes, which were produced due to the magma mixing caused by the injection of mafic magma from mantle during the crystallization of the granitic magma, are observed in the granites. The distributions of the MMEs and ages of the granites show a distinctive spatio-temporal distribution pattern. The distribution pattern can be explained by a multiple slab window model related to the ridge subduction of Izanagi-Pacific plates during the Late Cretaceous.Keywords:

Abstract The Ghansura Felsic Dome (GFD) occurring in the Bathani volcano-sedimentary sequence was intruded by mafic magma during its evolution leading to magma mixing. In addition to the mafic and felsic rocks, a porphyritic intermediate rock occurs in the GFD. The study of this rock may significantly contribute toward understanding the magmatic evolution of the Ghansura dome. The porphyritic rock preserves several textures indicating its hybrid nature, i.e. that it is a product of mafic-felsic magma mixing. Here, we aim to explain the origin of the intermediate rock with the help of textural features and mineral compositions. Monomineralic aggregates or glomerocrysts of plagioclase give the rock its characteristic porphyritic appearance. The fact that the plagioclase crystals constituting the glomerocrysts are joined along prominent euhedral crystal faces suggests the role of synneusis in the formation of the glomerocrysts. The compositions of the glomerocryst plagioclases are similar to those of plagioclases in the mafic rocks. The results from this study indicate that the porphyritic intermediate rock formed by the mixing of a crystal-rich mafic magma and a crystal-poor felsic melt.

Continental margins are the transitional zone between continents and oceans. The tectonic deformation of crust in continental margins is very complex. This paper deals with the complex crust tectonics of continental margins in terms of the basic principle that elastic waves travel through semi-infinlte medium and the wave theory of crust. The continental margin off the North American coasts of the Atlantic used to be the active Pacifictype margin. At present, the crust movement in this margin tends to be stable; therefore it becomes the Atlantic type.

The south Atlantic passive margin formed during the Late Jurassic - Aptian due to rifting of South America and West Africa. The passive margin in offshore Gabon depicts excellent examples of structures in magma-poor passive margins. This chapter presents a map of West African passive margin near Gabon. It highlights the upper continental crust (cc), the lower continental crust (lcc), the continental upper lithospheric mantle (m), and the top of the continental basement (b). The map present in the chapter also highlights the sedimentary layers (s1-s3), the proto-oceanic crust (poc), the magmatic rock-dominated rock suites 1 and 2 (mrsl and mrs2), and the syn-rift strata (r). The chapter also presents an uninterpreted dip-oriented reflection seismic profile through the rifted continental margin of Gabon. The breakup process was delivered in the crust first-mantle second (magma-poor) scenario.
