鹼性玄武岩

鹼性玄武岩（Alkali basalt）或鹼性橄欖石玄武岩（alkali olivine basalt）是一種深色斑狀噴出岩 ( 火成岩的一種 ) ^[2]，常發現於與火山活動有關的海洋和大陸地區，如海島、大陸裂谷和火山場等^[3]。鹼性玄武岩的特點是相對於其他玄武岩而言，含鹼（氧化鈉和氧化鉀）量相對較高，並且基質和斑晶中存在橄欖石和富鈦普通輝石以及符合 CIPW標準的霞石^[4]^[5]。

地球化學特徵

鹼性玄武岩在化學上被歸類為總體鹼與二氧化矽（TAS）示意圖B區（玄武岩）中的岩石，它的CIPW標準中含有霞石。不含標準霞石的玄武岩特徵為亞鹼性玄武岩，包括拉斑玄武岩和鈣鹼性玄武岩^[6]。

岩相

鹼性玄武岩基質主要由橄欖石、富鈦輝石和斜長石長石組成，可能有鹼性長石或似長石間隙，但缺乏二氧化矽礦物，如紫蘇輝石和石英^[4]。

斑晶普遍存在於鹼性玄武岩中，與基質類似，通常由橄欖石和富鈦輝石組成，但也可能含有斜長石和出現率較低的氧化鐵^[3]^[4]。

地質背景

鹼性玄武岩可發現於與火山活動相關的地區，如海洋島嶼（夏威夷、馬德拉群島^[7]、聖赫勒拿^[8]、阿森松島）等以及大陸裂谷和火山區^[3]。大陸鹼性玄武岩可在各大洲發現，突出的例子是美國格蘭德河裂谷（Rio Grande Rift）、東非裂谷和帕里埃克火山區^[9]。

前蘇聯金星8號上的伽馬射線光譜儀測量結果表明，它降落在了金星鹼性玄武岩上^[10]。
