Research Abstract |
The most discriminated character of the continental crust is the presence of a great deal of granitic rocks, though the oceanic crust mainly consists of basaltic rocks. Our project is to distinguish the continental crust in the island arc like Japanese islands and the Baltic shield through the investigation of the behaviour of D/H fractionation and Fe/Mg ratio between biotite and hornblende. We collected many specimens of granitic rocks from the Baltic shield, and separated biotite and hornblende, and then analysed the D/H ratio and chemistry of the minerals. The results are quite different from the characteristics of the Japanese granitic rocks. We suspect that the granitic rocks in the shield did not contain molecular water but those in the island arc did a plenty of water.
