Both have counterparts in the broadly contemporaneous Florianópolis Batholith (southern Brazil), from which they were separated during the Cretaceous opening of the southern Atlantic. In the Angra Fria Magmatic Complex, the only unequivocal mantle contributions are identified in mingling zones of the Younger Suite and hybrid mafic–intermediate dykes of uncertain age. Previously published Hf-in-zircon isotopic data, together with new whole-rock geochemical and Sr–Nd isotopic signatures, underline an important role of crustal anatexis of a material with late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic mean crustal residence (1.9–1.5 Ga). This interval resembles some of the published Nd model ages for Tonian ‘Adamastor Rift’-related felsic magmatic rocks in the Namibian Coastal and Uruguayan Punta del Este terranes. In detail, the Older Suite probably originated mainly by fluid-present melting of metabasalts and metatonalites, followed by (near) closed-system fractional crystallization (with or without accumulation) of amphibole ± plagioclase. For the Younger Suite, the principal process was the dehydration melting of relatively felsic lower crustal protoliths (metagreywackes or intermediate–acid orthogneisses >> metapelites), leaving garnet in the residue. Based on the geological context, the conspicuous enrichment of hydrous-fluid-mobile large ion lithophile over the conservative high field strength elements is not interpreted through a classic model of oceanic plate subduction, devolatilization, and fluxed-melting of the overriding mantle wedge. Instead, it is thought to reflect high-grade metamorphism of deeply buried continental crust and attendant water-fluxed melting of the overlying crustal lithologies, connected with inversion of the Tonian ‘Adamastor Rift’.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 101960"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47127466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2) what effects do historical earthquakes impose on the Maduo earthquake? and (3) what implications does the Maduo earthquake have for future rupture potential of adjacent tectonic faults? So we conduct a comprehensive study to answer the three questions by collecting satellite SAR images, GPS data, seismic waveform data, historical earthquakes, and </span>aftershocks<span> associated with the Maduo earthquake.

The minor fault to the east dips to the south accommodating an obvious reverse slip, well consistent with reverse fault scarps, reverse faulting aftershocks, and significant upward surface displacements immediately south of this branch. Such a reverse slip is probably controlled by the motion of nearby major sinistral strike-slip faults (the Eastern Kunlun fault and the Maduo–Gande fault). Among 32 historical Mw≥ 6.0 earthquakes used in this study, we find that the 1937 Mw7.8 Huashixia earthquake may affect the Maduo earthquake most, delaying its occurrence by decreasing the Coulomb failure stress (CFS) at the hypocenter by > 1 bar and on the entire causative fault by an average of 0.68 bar. Besides, the Mw6.1 Yangbi earthquake, which occurred ~4.5 h ahead of the Maduo earthquake, appears to make little influence on the Maduo earthquake because it hardly perturbates the CFS at the hypocenter of the Maduo earthquake.
