Coastal submarine hydrothermal activity off northern Baja California: 2. Evolutionary history and isotope geochemistry

Abstract: A geochemical model of the Punta Banda submarine hydrothermal system (PBSHS) and Ensenada quadrangle subaerial hot springs is developed using 18O/16O, D/H, 34S/32S, 3H, water and gas chemistry. The PBSHS water is a primary high temperature, acid, reducing fluid of old seawater origin which has been titrated by cold, alkaline groundwater of meteoric origin. The final exiting solutions represent a 1 : 1 mixture of the two primary mixing components. In contrast, the subaerial hot spring waters are of unmixed mete… Show more

“…But these slopes correspond to the line between hydrothermal and local meteoric waters feeding the hydrothermal circulation (S w-HT ). The ddD/dd 18 O slope in the hydrothermal waters (S HT ) may thus be quite different [Polya et al, 2000;Vidal et al, 1981;Vuataz and Goff, 1986;Xu et al, 2006], depending on various factors, among which the most important are the water and rock geochemistry, the groundwater recharge by meteoric waters, the renewal time of underground water pools, the fractionation during separation of vapor fraction. The isotopic alteration of hydrothermal waters has different mechanisms for dD and d…”

“…The distinction between colored and gray symbols is as in Figure caption. The reported literature data are as follows: SSGF from Mazzini et al (); CPGF from Welhan et al (), Polyak et al (), Birkle et al (), and Pinti et al (); LTVGF from Birkle et al (); LV from Schmitt et al (); PB, SC, and UR from Vidal et al (); UR, AC, SC, SV, VG, SA, and ECH from Polyak et al (); and BC from Forrest et al ().

“…This degassing extends north to the Cerro Prieto and Salton Sea geothermal fields and to the western coast of the peninsula. In the latter, the emission of gases is not related to the rifting process but to the presence of local faults (Polyak et al, ; Vidal et al, ).…”

“…Geochemical data on the Ensenada's region surface manifestations waters have been reported by Vidal et al (1978Vidal et al ( , 1981, Álvarez-Rosales (1993) and Arango-Galván et al (2011). Silica geothermometric temperatures (Fournier et al, 1982) on the hot springs vary from 120 to 140 • C, while the calculated value for the submarine vents is 126 • C (Arango-Galván et al, 2011).…”
