| Research Abstract |
A piston-cylinder apparatus with 34 mm internal diameter was developed for high pressure measurement of P- and S wave velocities of lower to middle crustal rocks. This newly developed apparatus makes possible to measure relatively large size core sample, 12 mm in length and14 mm in diameter up to 1.0 Gpa in a temperature range of 25-400℃.
Measured P-wave velocities for tonalitic-gabbroic rocks above 0.4 GPa are nearly constant. Measured velocities are 6.6-5.9 km/sec at 1.0 GPa and room temperature for tonalite-quartz gabbros with 53.8-71.1 wt. % SiO2 and those measured for hornblende gabbros with 43.2-47.7 wt. % Si02 are 7.1-6.9 km/sec. Comparison of the present results with the seismic profile of the northern IBM arc (Suyehiro et al., 1996) suggests a presence of tonalitic mid-crust (6.1-6.8 km/sec) ranging from 7 km to 12 km (about 30 % of the arc crust) overlying a mafic lower crust ( 7.1 - 7.3 km/sec P-wave velocities).
