Abstract

The Yeongdeok granite emplaced in the eastern Yeongyang subbasin is typically a medium- to coarse-grained massive biotite granite. It intruded into Precambrian schist & gneiss complex and is unconformably overlain by Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. In this study, we attempt to investigate the magma type which formed Yeongdeok granite and estimate the emplacement depth using Al-in-hornblende geobarometer to mineral composition. According to the magma fractionation, $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3{^*}$, FeO, $Fe_2O_3$, MnO, MgO, CaO, $Na_2O$ and $P_2O_5$ show positive trend but $K_2O$ indicate negative trend with $SiO_2$ contents. Those are identified as calc-alkaline series in AFM diagram and show the chemical characteristics of the I-type magma through the oxidation tendency of the iron ion and the portion of the alkaline composition. When calculated using the equation of Hollister et al. (1987), the emplacement depths of the Yeongdeok granite range from 8.98 to 17.19 km and average depth was estimated 13.03 km approximately.

영덕 화강암은 경상분지에 속해있는 영양 소분지의 동부에 분포하고 있으며 균질한 중립질 내지 조립질의 괴상으로 산출된다. 하부에서는 편암 및 편마암 복합체를 관입하고 있으며 상부는 백악기 퇴적암에 의해 부정합적으로 피복되어있다. 암석화학분석을 통하여 영덕 화강암의 마그마형을 밝히고 광물화학분석에 각섬석 지압계를 적용하여 정치깊이를 추정하고자 하였다. 암석화학 분석결과 마그마의 분화가 진행됨에 따라 $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3{^*}$, FeO, $Fe_2O_3$, MnO, MgO, CaO, $Na_2O$ 및 $P_2O_5$의 함량은 감소하고 $K_2O$의 함량은 증가하는 경향을 보여주며, 마그마 분화양상의 도식에서는 칼크알칼리계열에 해당하였고 철이온의 산화경향 및 알칼리성분의 함량비는 I-타입의 마그마임을 지시한다. 또한 각섬석의 $Al^T$성분을 Hollister et al. (1987)의 식에 적용한 결과 화강암의 정치압력은 지하 약 8.98 내지 17.19 km, 평균깊이는 13.03 km인 것으로 계산되었다.
