摘要

The weak geophysical precursors of the 6 August 2012 Te Maari eruption of Mt. Tongariro and a lack of obvious juvenile components in its proximal ballistic deposits imply that the eruption was caused by the sudden decompression of a sealed, hot hydrothermal system. Strong magmatic signals in pre- and post-eruption gas emissions indicate that fresh magma had intruded to shallow levels shortly before this eruption. Here we examine the volcanic ash produced during the August eruption with the aim of determining whether juvenile magma was erupted or not The widely applied criteria for identifying fresh juvenile pyroclasts provided inconclusive results. The Te Maari ash sorting and trend towards a unimodal grain-size distribution increase with distance along the dispersal axis. Proximal to intermediate sites showing polymodal grain-size distributions can be related to the re-fragmentation of different pre-existing lithologies, overlapped erupted pulses and transport mechanisms, and to particle aggregation. Between 69 and 100 vol.% of particles coarser than 3 φ and 45-75 vol.% of grains finer than 3 φ were sourced from the pre-existing, commonly hydrothermally altered, vent-area lavas and pyroclasts. Free crystals (pyroxene > plagioclase > magnetite > pyrite) make up 0-23 vol.% of particles coarser than 3 φ, and 22-41 vol.% of grains finer than 3 φ. Brown to black fragments of fresh glass are a small (1-15 vol.%), but notable, component Under SEM, these blocky, glassy particles are poorly vesicular, and irregularly shaped, some with flu-idal or bubble-wall surfaces, and others with fragmented stepped surfaces and fine adhering ash. In thin section, they contain variable amounts of microlites within an isotropic groundmass. The range in silica content of the microprobe-analysed glass is very wide (56-77 wt.%) and cannot be correlated to any specific particle textural type. These chemically and texturally diverse glassy fragments are identical to mechanically broken pieces of country rock lavas and pyroclasts; both their diversity, and their match with vent country rocks, argue strongly against a "juvenile" origin for the glassy fragments. We conclude that rising magma provided only heat and gas into the overlying, sealed vapour-dominated hydrothermal system. A landslide from this area led to a rapid decompression and ash was produced by top-down hydrothermal explosions. Careful attention must be paid to the combination of compositions and textures of fine ash particles in such situations, as well as to the context of their source vent, in order to be confident that new magma has reached the surface.
