摘要
In the Alborz Mountains of the eastern Roodbar (north of Iran), Tertiary volcanic rocks have a variety of composition between olivine basalt, basaltic andesite, pyroxene andesite and andesite. The presence of different xenoliths and xenocrysts is among the evidence of crustal contamination of these rocks. The positive correlations of CaO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs to MgO and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs. SiO<sub>2</sub> are of signs of the olivine and clinopyroxene fractionation in the variation trend of the area rocks. Positive correlations K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> vs with SiO<sub>2</sub> and La/Sm vs. K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> demonstrate contamination of magma with the continental crust. The incompatible trace element patterns and their comparison with crustal contents indicate contamination of the rocks of the area with the lower and upper continental crust. Linear trends in the variation diagram of Nb/Y vs. Zr/Y, introduce two different source regions: a MORB source and the other continental crust for the rocks which are the genesis. The variations of Y/Nb vs. Zr/Nb and Rb/Y vs. Nb/Y reveal a crustal contamination of the magma originated from the MORB source. Geochemical studies represent that the area’s rocks were derived from the 15% melting of a mantle source of MORB type with spinel facies within a continental environment, which was contaminated by varying degrees of continental crustal rocks.
