Abstract

Abstract

Hydrothermal chimney is an important product of modern hydrothermal mineralizing system at the seabed of the back arc spreading basin.The rare earth element components of hydrothermal chimney in Jade area in the Izena depression are charact erized by enriched light rare earth element and high positive europium abnormity.The average value of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ¹⁴³N d/¹⁴⁴N d is 0.708928 and 0.512292 respectively.These values are between the values of seawater and acidicfloat rock in the Okinawa Trough.All these characteristics indicate that the acidiclava is maybe the main source of hydrothermal sulfide deposits in the Jadearea.The mineralizing mechanism of hydrothermal sulfide deposits in the Jade area can be described as follows.Large amounts of materials are produced in the course of seawater rock thermo chemistry reactions when the embedding seawater is heated up and contacted with the acidic volcanic rocks.The materials mix with seawater and becomea type of thermal liquor which is characterized by enriched lightrare earth element.When this type of thermal liquid spurts out from the seafloor and cryst allizes or deposits rapidly.The cuprumrincum sulfide and barite-noncrystal SiO₂ mineral will be created with enriched light rare earth element and high positive europium abnormity.
