[ 1 ] - Physico-chemical chaterctrestics of the Ararat basaltic lavas from the North Gerik (NW Azerbaijan) area, based on mineral chemistry of clinopyroxene: implications for magma evolution in post collision origin

1-Introduction North western Iran are neighboring of the largest Turkey volcanic centers (e.g. Ararat, Nemrut, Tendürek and Süphan volcanoes), within the Turkish-Iranian orogenic plateau. Quaternary basaltic lavas from NW Azerbaijan are related to the on-going Arabia-Eurasia collision zone, and inherited by subduction of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean at a Late Eocene age (~ 35 Ma). The Quaternary lava...
