Subduction-stage pressure-temperature path of eclogite from the Sambagawa belt: Prophetic record for oceanic-ridge subduction

説明

Petrologic studies of the Kotsu eclogite from the Sambagawa high-pressure ( P ), low-temperature ( T ) metamorphic belt show that the eclogite has recorded a very steep subduction-stage P-T path reaching 20 kbar and 600 °C; the dP / dT is >7.1 kbar/100 °C. Compilation of previously derived subduction-stage P-T paths from the Sambagawa belt and the result of this study show that these P-T paths are not on a straight line from the origin, but define a curve with dP / dT increasing with pressure. A new model incorporating the progressive approach of an oceanic ridge to a subduction zone shows that the Sambagawa P-T paths are best explained by a setting in which a ridge is close to being subducted at a slow rate relative to the plate-subduction rate. Exhumation of high- P , low- T metamorphic rocks in oceanic subduction zones may be associated with the slow approach and subsequent subduction of oceanic ridges.
