Record 2 2011-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
CONT

Another thermal force that can induce rifting is from more acute magmatism that penetrates towards the surface. Penetrative magmatism produces uplift at the surface in about 20 Ma, whereas thermal isostasy is a broader, slower process taking about 100 Ma to uplift the surface ... Thermal isostasy lags in time because rock is a poor conductor of heat, and penetrative magmatism fractures and heats the surrounding material rapidly.

CONT

Remnants of the mountains formed during subduction before the collision may be preserved in the central part of the belt, but after intense metamorphism and pervasive magmatism, their original nature may be hard to reconstruct.

OBS

pervasive magmatism: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

Record 3 2010-12-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
CONT

Arc magmatism is intimately related to metamorphism, although this relationship is complicated largely because maximum pressures and temperatures are attained at different times.

CONT

Subduction zones are the main factories for making continental crust ... The primary constructive processes are trench accretion, arc magmatism, and arc-continent collision.

OBS

arc magmatism: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Volcanologie et sismologie
CONT

Le magmatisme de type arc résulte [...] de la fusion de l'asthénosphère, mais nécessite en plus de l'eau. Nous supposons que le magmatisme d'arc peut être produit dans une zone hydratée au dessus du slab, sur une épaisseur de 50 km.

CONT

Par opposition au gisement d'Olympic Dam, où il existe un lien direct entre le magmatisme de type arc, l'activité orogénique et la chronologie de la minéralisation, l'orogenèse de Racklan et la Brèche de Wernecke ne sont pas contemporains et ne sont pas associés à un magmatisme proximal de type arc à l'air libre.

OBS

anorogenic: Not orogenic, lacking in or unrelated to orogenic disturbance ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
CONT

[...] il existe deux types fondamentaux de magmatisme : le magmatisme anorogénique, lié aux phénomènes de distension et d'expansion des fonds océaniques (ce qui ne signifie pas qu'il soit étranger à la dynamique orogénique), et le magmatisme orogénique, lié aux phénomènes de compression et de subduction le long des arcs insulaires.

Record 8 2003-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
CONT

The initiation of kimberlite magmatism is deep seated, and correlation of this magmatism with hotspots or plate tectonic processes (transform fault extensions, subduction zones, etc.) has not been satisfactorily demonstrated on a worldwide basis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
CONT

Le magmatisme kimberlitique prend naissance à grande profondeur, et aucun lien pouvant exister entre ce magmatisme et la présence de points chauds ou encore de processus relevant de la tectonique des plaques (extension de failles transformantes, zone de subduction, etc.) n'a pu être démontré de façon satisfaisante à l'échelle mondiale.
