    Water in Mid Ocean Ridge Basalts: Some Like it Hot, Some Like it Cold (2012)
    Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-07-14
    Description: The presence in the Earth’s mantle of even small amounts of water and other volatiles has major effects: first, it lowers drastically mantle’s viscosity, thereby facilitating convection and plate tectonics; second, it lowers the melting temperature of the rising mantle affecting the formation of the oceanic crust. H2O concentration in oceanic basalts stays below 0.2 wt% except for basalts sampled near “hot spots” that contain significantly more H2O than normal MORB, implying that their mantle plume sources are unusually H2O-rich. Basalts sampled in the Equatorial Atlantic close to the Romanche transform, a thermal minimum in the Ridge system, have a H2O content that increases as the ridge is cooled approaching the transform offset. These basalts are Na-rich, being generated by low degrees of melting of the mantle, and contain unusually high ratios of light versus heavy rare earth elements implying the presence of garnet in the melting region. H2O enrichment is due not to an unusually H2O-rich mantle source, but to a low extent of melting of the upwelling mantle, confined to a deep wet melting region. Numerical models predict that this wet melting process takes place mostly in the mantle zone of stability of garnet. This prediction is verified by the geochemistry of our basalts showing that garnet must indeed have been present in their mantle source. Thus, oceanic basalts are H2O-rich not only near “hot spots”, but also at “cold spots”.

    Time-resolved seismic tomography detects magma intrusions at Mt. Etna (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The continuous volcanic and seismic activity at Mount Etna makes this volcano an important laboratory for seismological and geophysical studies. We used repeated three-dimensional tomography to detect variations in elastic parameters during different volcanic cycles, before and during the October 2002–January 2003 flank eruption. Well-defined anomalous low P- to S-wave velocity ratio volumes were revealed. Absent during the pre-eruptive period, the anomalies trace the intrusion of volatile-rich (Q4 weight percent) basaltic magma, most of which rose up only a few months before the onset of eruption. The observed time changes of velocity anomalies suggest that four-dimensional tomography provides a basis for more efficient volcano monitoring and shortand midterm eruption forecasting of explosive activity.

    Great and old earthquakes against great and old paradigms – paradoxes, historical roots, alternative answers (2008)
    Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: This paper is an innovative interpretation of the geodynamics of the active margins in a framework different from the plate tectonics one. Large scale subduction do not appears a necessary concept, if the detected new phenomena and correlations are considered. South American Pacific margin is found to be the key region to investigate in greater detail the active margins geodynamics.
    Description: The similarity of the vertical displacements shown by case-history extreme-magnitude earthquakes are scrutinised (Chile 1960, Alaska 1964, Sumatra 2004, . . . ). A common interpretation – an uprising of lithospheric material – can be found, which is supported by the irregularities of the hypocentres distribution along the Wadati-Benioff zones. In the case of major South American earthquakes, a volcanic eruptions-earthquakes correlation is recognisable. Further support to this interpretation is the displacement of the Earth’s instantaneous rotation pole – 3.0 mas (10 cm), observed at ASI of Matera, Italy – the seismic data (USGS)in the two days following the main shock, the geomorphologic data, and the satellite data of uplift/subsidence of the coasts (IGG) make possible a new interpretation of the Great Sumatran earthquake (26 December 2004) based on the second conjugate – nearly vertical – CMT fault plane solution. All this converges toward different causes of seismogenetic processes, strongly supporting a deep origin of disturbances, fluxes of materials leading to more or less sudden movements of masses, and phase changes, which lead to either earthquakes or silent-slow events in Wadati-Benioff zones. A reinterpretation of the geodynamics of the active margins and mountain building is proposed with a heuristic model that does not resort to large-scale subduction, but only to isostatic uplift of deep material intruding between two decoupling plates in a tensional environment. Concomitant phase changes toward less-packed lattice and buoyancy effect caused by the Clapeyron slope can help the extrusion of material over the m.s.l., constituting an orogenic process. The phenomena expected to occur in the model directly and harmoniously contribute to the building up of the surface geophysical and geomorphological features of the orogenic zones.

    The Volcano-Seismic Clock of the South American Pacific Margin - A Possible First Link Between Natural Disasters Prevention and Expanding Earth (2013)
    Aracne Editrice, Roma
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A volcano-seismic correlation was for a long time suspected to occur on the Pacific margin of South America. Scalera (2008) using the data available in 2006 in the Smithsonian Institution Catalogue of the volcanic eruptions, has revealed evidence that earthquakes happened into the South-American Wadati-Benio zone – with magnitude greater than 8.4 –are associated to an enhanced rate of volcanic eruptions, but has been impossible to determine the causal chain between the two phenomena. After 2006, the effort of the Smithsonian Institution to improve our knowledge of this region has resulted in a greatly increased completeness of the catalogue, adding the new eruptions for the 2000- 2010 interval, but also an additional 50% of new entries in the list of the Andean volcanoes. The occurrence of the Chilean earthquake of Maule – 27 February 2010 (M=8.8); occurred at five decades from the 1960 quake – has been the occasion to rework all the data searching for additional clues able to indicate a preferred causal direction eruptions-earthquakes or earthquakes-eruptions – or from a third more general cause (e.g. a mantle movements) to both eruptions and earthquakes. This short note discusses the three above-said hypotheses and tries to establish if these results could be useful to the aims of the Civil Protection in the programs of prevention and/or forecasting of natural disasters.

    Distensional Mediterranean and World Orogens - Their Possible Bearing to Mega-Dykes Active Rising (2013)
    Aracne Editrice, Roma
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: An overview of the modern progresses of the expanding Earth conceptions as they come out from new data and their possible interpretations is provided in this paper. The starting point of this review is the new detailed 3D distributions of relocated hypocenters laying under orogenic belts. The similarity of the hypocentral patterns under the Tethyan orogenic belts, and under the South American Pacific orogenic margin is considered to be a major font of information on which to build a more realistic global geodynamic model. Clusters and filaments of hypocenters are recognizable instead of regular patterns. These clusters taper downwards, leading to the idea of a deep origin in narrow regions of disturbance, besides other important facts that witness in favour of surfaceward movements of deep material along what can be called "mega-dykes". The outpouring of the material on the surface produces gravitational nappes and their overthrust on the sediments of the preexisting trough, forcing them on a burial path which emulate the subduction process, but without reaching depths greater than 50-70 km. Phenomenons like metamorphism, mixing, migmization, upward transport of fragments of the buried lithosphere etc. are possible at the boundary between uplifting material and down-pushed crust and lithosphere. Additional clues can be collected that confirm the new proposed framework. The astronomical indications of a coseismic displacement of the instantaneous Earth’s rotation axis in the occasion of the great Sumatra (Mw=9.3) and Honshu (Mw=9.0) earthquakes are especially significant because in complete disagreement with the plate tectonics modelled axis shift and in agreement with the shift expected in the new conception. Because of analogous opposite predictions of the length of day variation following the extreme magnitude earthquakes (ΔLOD〈0 vs ΔLOD〉0), future improvements of the time measurement techniques could allow a final choice between rival geodynamical models.
