ORE DEP (MAGMATIC HYDRO ORE PROCESSES) Flashcards
Notable properties of Water
High Heat Capacity
High Surface Tenstion
Max density just above freezing temp
High Dielectric constant
Clustering of water molecules around a dissolved ion
Hydration
Measure of a fluid’s ability to separate ions or other dipoles and is a function of the number of dipoles per unit vol
Dielectric Constant
Implication of high dielectic constant of water?
enhancing dissolution and increasing solubility
Lines of equal density
Isochores
Crystalline structure of Ice
Hexagonal
The phase boundary at which liquid and vapor are in equilibrium
Saturation vapor pressure
Boling Point Curve
Boiling point of water _______ as pressure increases
Increases
The point where it is no longer possible to increase the boiling pt by increase of pressure and where there is no longer a physical distinction between liquid and vapor
critical point
T and P of Critical Pt
374 deg cel and 221bar
The triple pt of water coexist at
0.008 deg cel
0.06 bar
Critical density of water at critical pt
0.3g/cc
a homogenous single phase (of water) that exist at pressures and temperatures above the critical point
Supercritical Fluid
Ideal Gas Law
PV=nRT
Early water derived from the degassing of volcanic magmas as they extruded onto the early crust
Juvenile Water
Substantial bodies of water first appeared on
Early Archean (Eoarchean) 3800 Ma
what is responsible for the water content of granitic magma?
Ponding of hyrdous basaltic melt at the base of the crust and diffusive transfer of elements and volatiles across conrod
Melting occurs without the presence of free water in the rock and is regarded as a realistic model for the generation of Granitic Magma in the Crust
Dehydration Melting
Arrange (Musc, Biot, Hnbld) in terms of water content (Hydrous)
(8-10%)Musc
(3-5%)Biot
(2-3%)Hbld
When meta-sed rocks compose of musc or musc+Biot-bearing rocks is melted it will produce
S-type Granites
Peraluminous
Relatively wet due to intila high H2O content
Ores related to wet Sgranite
Sn-W-U
What corresponds to the S granite in ishihara classification
Relatively reduced
Ilmenite series with low fO2
