Plio-Holocene magmatic evolution during a steepening subduction regime
From the late Pliocene to Holocene times, magmatism in the Southern Central Andes (34–38.5 °S) displayed significant geochemical changes that show a systematic variation with both time and location. These changes have primarily been linked to the steepening of the Nazca plate after its shallow subduction configuration in the late Miocene. As a result, Plio-Holocene magmatism developed in three N-S magmatic belts, located within the present-day arc front, the rear-arc, and the back-arc areas. This work presents the compilation of geochemical data (major and trace elements, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes) and geochronological data (Ar-Ar, K-Ar, U-Pb) from the Plio-Holocene rear-arc and back-arc magmatic sequences to evaluate the magmatic evolution since the beginning of the Nazca plate steepening in the latest Pliocene.
The back-arc volcanic sequences show a decrease in arc-like geochemical features and an increase in the concentration of incompatible elements from the northern to the southern back-arc units. This change has primarily been attributed to variations in the mantle source, with southern magmatism associated with an EM-1 OIB type source and northern volcanism related to an N-MORB mantle source. However, other processes, such as changes in the thermal structure of the mantle wedge, along-strike variations in crustal thickness, and forearc subduction erosion, are essential to explain other geochemical features. On the other hand, the geochemistry of the Plio-Holocene rear-arc magmatism slightly reflects the geochemical patterns of the back-arc magmatism, as the northern rear-arc units present arc-like features, while the southern rear-arc shows an incipient intraplate-like signature. Thus, regarding the varying distances to the trench between back-arc and rear-arc units, first-order controls such as heterogeneities in ambient mantle composition and the thermal structure of the mantle wedge have influenced the magmatism of the Southern Central Andes.
期刊介绍:
Papers must have a regional appeal and should present work of more than local significance. Research papers dealing with the regional geology of South American cratons and mobile belts, within the following research fields:
-Economic geology, metallogenesis and hydrocarbon genesis and reservoirs.
-Geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, igneous and metamorphic petrology.
-Tectonics, neo- and seismotectonics and geodynamic modeling.
-Geomorphology, geological hazards, environmental geology, climate change in America and Antarctica, and soil research.
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and basin evolution.
-Paleontology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology and Quaternary geology.
New developments in already established regional projects and new initiatives dealing with the geology of the continent will be summarized and presented on a regular basis. Short notes, discussions, book reviews and conference and workshop reports will also be included when relevant.
