And of course, it is the window for discussion the orogeny/uplift machinism of the Qinghai—Tibet plateau.1\ Brief regional geology\;The Yumen Cenozoic volcanic rock lithodistrict belongs to the north margin of Qinghai—Tibet plateau. This lithodistrict mainly consists of Hongliuxia and Hanxia volcanic rock bodies. The Hongliuxia Pleistocene epoch volcano neck is located to the northwest of Yumen City about 40km away, consisted of tephrite and trachybasalt. The boundary line between the volcano neck and the country rocks well defined and the contact plane is almost erect. The drag structure and wrinkle have been identified in the country rocks, which were due to the upthrusting of the magma. About 100 meters away to the south of the volcano neck, there is a basaltic flowage which covers on the Cretaceous—Tertiary shale and argillaceous sandstone.The Hanxia Cenozoic volcanic rock lithodistrict is located to the west of Yumen City about 15km away, which is a river valley extending into the north piedmont of Qilian Mountain. It dissected the Cretaceous—Tertiarystratigraphic sequence. The Cenozoic volcanic rock distributed in the Hanxia river valley is a lava flowage and NWW\|trending as a long lava dome.The Hoh Xil Cenozoic volcanic rock lithodistrict is located in the north part of Qinghai—Tibet plateau. The Cenozoic intensely intracontinental volcanism in this region had formed a number of lava sheets and subvolcanic rock bodies which were in different size and now present as lava platforms with about an elevation of 5000 meters. Affected by the preexisting NWW\|trending structure zones, there formed several NWW\|trending active\|volcano zones in the area during the Cenozoic era when the magma overflowed and/or intruded near to th e ground surface.展开更多

Trace element geochemistry of zircons indicates that zircons in both gabbro and quartz syenite have two-generations. Zircons of the first generations are crystallized in the magma chamber, whereas those of the second generations are formed in supercooling environment. The former is richer in Zr, but poorer in U, Th, Hf and Y. Quartz diorite porphyrite contains zircons that can be distinguished into the early and late generations. Compared to the late generation, the early generation is richer in Zr but poorer in U, Th, Hf and Y. No conspicuous disruption of zircon evolution has been found in both biotite monzogranite and fine-grained granite. However, the content of zircon in fine-grained granite is higher in U, Th and Y and lower in Zr relative to biotite monzogranite without significant contrast in mass fraction ratio of ZrO2 to HfO2 ratio. Such differences in zircon geochemistry of various intrusive phases and the occurrence of the two zircon generations within a single intrusive phase suggest that these phases of magmas are generated from diverse sources during post-collisional continental extension. These magmas ascend rapidly and cool quickly in a short interval.展开更多
