什么是 Hydrothermal fluid and hydrothermal deposit types?

又称: hydrothermal fluid · porphyry copper deposit · epithermal deposit · volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit · sedimentary exhalative deposit · Mississippi Valley-type deposit · orogenic gold deposit

Definition 29.8 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 2 · 第 29 章 — Ore Deposits

A hydrothermal fluid is a hot aqueous fluid, released by a magma, by metamorphic reactions, or heated sea water, meteoric water or basin brine, that dissolves, transports and deposits elements as it flows through rock. The main hydrothermal ore-deposit types are:

  • the porphyry copper deposit: a large, low-grade body of veinlets and disseminated copper sulfides in and around a small porphyry stock, formed by magmatic fluids within a few kilometres of the surface above a subduction zone;
  • the epithermal deposit: gold–silver veins and disseminations formed within about 1.5 km1.5\,\mathrm{km} of the surface, at about 100 to 300 ∘C300\,{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, in volcanic arcs;
  • the volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit (VMS): a lens of massive sulfides formed on or just below the sea floor, at a hydrothermal vent in a submarine volcanic setting;
  • the sedimentary exhalative deposit (sedex): laminated zinc–lead sulfides in marine shales of a rift basin, precipitated on or just below the sea floor from basin brines rising along faults;
  • the Mississippi Valley-type deposit (MVT): zinc–lead sulfides replacing platform carbonates, epigenetic and unrelated to igneous activity, deposited by basin brines;
  • the orogenic gold deposit: gold-bearing quartz veins in metamorphic belts, along major faults, deposited by low-salinity, CO2_2-rich fluids of metamorphic origin.
A porphyry copper system in section (a drawing, not to scale): the potassic zone in the core, deep and hot; the sericitic zone upward and outward, where pyrite is abundant; the copper ore shell between them; the propylitic halo at shallow to moderate depths around; sodic–calcic alteration on the deep flanks; an advanced argillic cap and, in some systems, epithermal veins near the surface.
