摘要:

花岗岩的成因既是古老的问题,也是当前急迫的科学前沿。100年前花岗岩的火成论与变成论之争,以火成论压倒变成论而收兵。近百年的研究证明,火成论并非完美,关键是玄武岩浆分离结晶成花岗岩的机理受到严峻的挑战。而今,花岗岩源自下地壳变质出熔已经成为不争的事实,说明花岗岩的源头是变质岩。关于花岗岩成因的理论很多,经过多年的筛选,可能花岗岩形成的四阶段理论(从产生、分凝、上升到侵位)是比较合适的。在对该理论详细研究的基础上,本文提出了一个新的花岗岩四阶段理论:从产生、形成、上升到侵位。这是对花岗岩形成过程的描述。如果强调花岗岩形成的机理,则可表述为从出熔、聚集、上升到侵位。四个阶段分为两段:产生和形成(出熔和聚集)是升温过程;上升和侵位是降温过程。该理论的核心是本文提出的“下地壳岩浆房”的猜想,这指的是由部分熔融产生的熔体经聚集形成的巨大空间。首先,这个猜想解决了下地壳岩浆的空间占位问题。由于下地壳原地部分熔融熔出的产物(熔体+残留体)仅仅是物质组成形式发生了变化,不存在空间占位问题,下地壳总体积基本不变。只要存在持续的地幔加热过程,岩浆房体积可以逐渐增大一直到变得非常大。其次,关于花岗岩上升的驱动力问题,我们认为,可能正是下地壳岩浆房上覆的几十公里厚的地层静压力,在岩浆房沿着破裂带溢出时转换为巨大的压力驱使岩浆向上运移,而非岩浆自身的浮力。因此,从理论上,花岗岩上升的速度是非常快的,地质上几乎是瞬间实现的。再次,本理论还合理地解释了花岗岩侵位空间这个古老的难题:下地壳岩浆房上升移出,原先的空间即刻被上覆地层压实填充,造成上覆地层的塌陷,并传递到脆性的上地壳;同时引起上地壳支撑薄弱部位出现构造真空,为上升的岩浆提供驻足空间而完成岩浆侵位过程。很明显,从下地壳岩浆房的消失、转移到上地壳岩浆侵位,实现了空间的置换。看来,“下地壳岩浆房”概念的提出,较好地解决了花岗岩许多传统争议问题。猜想需要论证和证伪,为了深入研究上述问题,本文建议建立两门边缘学科:变质岩浆岩石学和物理地质学。

Abstract:

The origin of granite is both an ancient and a frontier scientific problem. One hundred years ago debate on the origin of granite ended with the prevailing view that granite is igneous rather than metamorphic in origin. However, over the past century researchers have shown that the igneous theory is not perfect and the mechanism of basalt crystallization differentiation into granite had been severely challenged. Today it is considered an indisputable fact that granite originated from partial melting of the lower crust, which indicates the source of granite is metamorphic rock. There are many theories on the formation of granites. After many years of testing, the four-stage (melting, melt segregation and ascent, and magma emplacement) theory of granite formation is considered more plausible. Based on detailed study of this theory, this paper proposes a new four-stage theory which divides the granite formation process into two main parts: melt generation and formation (melting and melt aggregation), a heating process, and melt ascent and magma emplacement, a cooling process. The core of this theory is the conjecture of a “lower crustal magma chamber”, which refers to the giant space formed by melt aggregation. This conjecture, first, solves the space problem of a magma chamber in the lower crust. As in situ partial melting of the lower crust only changes the material composition of its products (melt plus remnant), with no space issue involved, the total volume of the lower crust is basically unchanged. And, as there is continuous mantle heating, a lower crustal magma chamber can grow gradually and become very large. Second, we consider the driving force behind magma uplift is not the buoyancy of magma itself. Rather, as the lower crustal magma chamber overflows along the fault zone, the formation pressure from tens of kilometers of strata beneath the magma chamber may transform into great force, driving the magma upward. Therefore, theoretically, granite can rise very quickly, almost instantaneously on the geologic time scale. Third, this conjecture reasonably explains the ancient problem of granite emplacement. It is precisely because the lower crustal magma chamber moves out and ascents, the space it occupied is immediately compacted and filled by the overlying strata, and the subsequence collapse of the underlying strata directly affects the fragile upper crust. A void is then created in the weak part of the upper crustal structure to provide space for the rising magma to complete its emplacement process. Apparently, a space displacement is realized in the disappearing of a magma chamber in the lower crust and magma emplacement in the upper crust. It seems that the concept of a “lower crustal magma chamber” can better resolve many traditional controversies regarding granite formation. The conjecture needs to be verified. Finally, to further study the above issues we suggest using two interdisciplinary approaches-metamorphic-igeous petrology and physical geology.
