Abstract

We analyze the comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) magnetic structure characteristics from the seafloor to the deep layer of the Tofua Arc (TA) 12 seamount in the Tonga Arc, Southwestern Pacific, using bathymetric and geomagnetic data, and magnetization vector inversion (MVI) results. The seafloor features surrounding TA 12 highlight a NW-SE-oriented elliptical caldera at the summit of the seamount, two small cones in the depressed area. A large-scale sea valley is present on the western flank of the seamount, extending from these caldera cones to the southwestern base of the seamount. TA 12 seamount exhibits a low magnetic anomaly in the caldera depression, whereas a high magnetic anomaly is observed surrounding the low magnetic anomaly across the caldera summit. It is therefore presumed that there may be a strong magnetic material distribution or magma intrusion in the caldera. The 3D MVI results show that the high anomaly zones are mainly present in the surrounding slopes of the seamount from the seafloor to the -3,000 m (below the seafloor) level, with the magnetic susceptibility intensity increasing as the seafloor level increases at the caldera depression. However, small high anomaly zones are present across the study area near the seafloor level. Therefore, we expect that the magma ascent in TA 12 seamount migrated from the flanks to the depression area. Furthermore, we assume that the complex magnetic distribution near the seafloor is due to the remnant magnetization.

이 연구는 남서태평양 통가열도에 위치한 TA (Tofua Arc) 12 해저산에 대한 해저지형, 자력자료를 이용한 자화벡터역산 모델링을 통해 해저면에서 심부층까지의 종합적인 3차원 자력구조 특징을 분석하였다. 북서-남동 방향성을 가진 타원형의 칼데라 해저지형이 TA 12 해저산 정상부에서 나타나며, 두 개의 작은 콘 모양의 지형이 칼데라 정상부 함몰지형에 존재한다. 또한 해저산 정상부 서쪽 사면에서는 콘 지형이 나타나는 지역부터 해저산 기저부 남서쪽 사면까지 큰 규모의 사면 해저곡이 보인다. TA 12 해저산에서는 칼데라 함몰지형에 저자기이상대가 나타나고 그 주변 칼데라 정상부 및 사면 지역에 고자기이상대가 둘러싸여 있다. 이는 함몰지형을 포함한 칼데라 정상부 지역에 강한 자성체의 분포 또는 마그마 관입 가능성이 있다고 해석될 수 있다. 3차원으로 해석된 자화벡터역산 결과에서는 해저 -3000 m부터 해저산의 주변 사면지역에서의 고이상대 존재와 자기 감수율이 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형의 천부층으로 향해 증가함을 보여 준다. 한편 주로 칼데라 정상부의 해저면 근처에서 소규모 고이상대들이 곳곳에 나타나고 있다. 따라서 TA 12 해저산에서는 마그마가 심부에서 천부로 올라올 때 해저산 주변 사면부에서 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형으로 이동했음이 예상된다. 그리고 해저면 근처의 복잡한 자력분포는 잔류자화의 영향으로 추정된다.
