Abstract

Kilauea volcano located in the southern part of Hawaii island chains has been formed by continuous and sporadic eruption activities from 16 century to September of 1982. Kilauea volcano was investigated from collecting the samples of basalt to identify the geochemical characteristics of the lavas. Olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and opaque minerals with glass groundmass are observed. Clinopyroxene formed glomerophopyritic texture with plagioclase and zoning texture was observed in some of plagioclase phenocrysts. Major elements such as $K_2O$, $P_2O_5$, $TiO_2$ increased with respect to MgO. $Al_2O_3$ and CaO show the kink on Marker diagram due to the crystal fractionation of plagioclase and clinopyroxene with plagioclase respectively. Olivine has a wide range of Fo% ranging from 60 to 90, and MnO and FeO in the olivine are decreased with increasing Fo% oppositely increased $SiO_2$, MgO, and NiO. Ni in the whole rock is controlled not only by the mode of olivine but also by the Ni abondance in the olivine.

하와이 제도 남단에 위치한 하와이섬의 킬라우에아 화산은 16세기 이래로 1982년 9월까지 계속적이고 간헐적인 분출로 형성된 화산체이다. 킬라우에아 화산 정상부 분화구 지역을 중심으로 야외지질조사, 체계적인 시료채취, 암석기재학 및 지구화학적인 특성분석을 수행하였다. 구성광물로는 주요 반정광물인 감람석을 비롯하여, 단사휘석, 사장석, 불투명광물등의 반정광물과 유리질 기질로 구성된다. 단사휘석과 사장석에서는 취반상조직, 사장석 반정에는 누대구조가 간간히 관찰되었다. 주원소 함량에서 $K_2O$, $P_2O_5$, $TiO_2$는 MgO 함량이 감소할 때 증가하는 경향을 보이고 $Al_2O_3$와 CaO는 변곡점을 보이는데 Al은 사장석, Ca는 사장석과 단사휘석의 결정화와 각각 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 해석된다. 감람석의 Fo%값은 60에서 90까지 넓은 변화폭을 가지고 Fo%에 대한 감람석 주원소 값에서 MnO와 FeO는 감소하며 반대로 $SiO_2$, MgO와 NiO는 증가한다. 킬라우에아 화산 현무암의 Ni함량의 변화는 감람석의 모드 함량과 감람석 결정 내의 Ni함량의 변화에 의하여 규제되는 것으로 생각된다.
