超高压变质作用

超高压变质作用（英语：ultra-high-pressure metamorphism）是指在足以稳定柯石英(coesite)（二氧化硅的高压多晶型物）的压力下的变质过程。 研究超高压 (UHP) 变质岩的形成和出露过程，对板块构造、地壳的组成和演化是很重要的线索。1984 年超高压变质岩的发现[1][2]。彻底改变了我们对板块构造的理解。在1984年之前，几乎没有人怀疑在大陆上的岩石会达到如此高的压力。许多超高压地区的形成归因于微大陆或大陆边缘的俯冲，所有超高压地区的出露主要归因于由低密度引起的浮力。虽然俯冲在低于10°C/km的低热梯度下进行，但出露在10-30°C/km的高热梯度下进行。

超高压变质指在压力≥27kbar (2.7GPa)，而能稳定柯石英的高压环境的变质作用。根据指标矿物例如柯石英或金刚石[3]、或指标矿物组合，例如菱镁矿+文石[4] 来判定。

超高压变质作用在岩石学的指标矿物通常保存在榴辉岩中，包括柯石英、钻石或镁久石质（majoritic）石榴石。矿物组合也可用于识别超高压岩石；这些组合包括菱镁矿+文石[4]。由于矿物随压力和温度的变化而改变成分，因此矿物成分也可用于计算变质压力和温度；对于UHP榴辉岩，最好的地球气压计包括石榴石+斜辉石+K-白云母和石榴石+斜辉石+蓝晶石+柯石英/石英[5]。大多数超高压岩石在800 °C和3GPa的峰值条件下变质[6]。大多数长英质超高压岩石经历了广泛的退化变质作用，几乎没有或没有超高压记录。通常，只有少数榴辉岩能保存已俯冲到地幔深处的咨询[7][8]。

目前在全球20多処找到超高压岩石，大多数都在欧亚大陆造山带[9]。柯石英分布较广，钻石较少，镁久石质石榴石更少。仅产于稀有地区。最古老的超高压地区为620Ma[10]。最年轻的为8Ma[11]。所有都以石英长石片麻岩为主，其中含有少量基性岩（榴辉岩）或超基性岩（含石榴石橄榄岩）。有些原岩是被动大陆边缘的沉积物或裂谷火山序列[12][13]。
