ABSTRACT
The Aegedo volcanic arc formed 1n responce to northedsterly
subductIon of the Mediterranean sea floor beneQth the Aege~n Sea.
AlthoVgh the lavae from all the major volcanic centres of the arc
exhibit typical calc-alkaline major and trace element characteristics
it is clear that there are consistent differences jn trace-element
abundances and ratios in the lavas of the var10us i3lands located at
different sectors of the arc, reflectIng comp~sjtional differences 1n
the mantle source and/or in melting conditions.'
The ,K~O content as well as the TffV ratios of island-arc related

INTRODUCTION
The relationship between the K2 0 content of lavas and the depth
of the underlying Benioff zones has well been established for island
arcs which are considered to be associated with subduction zones
(DICKINSON & HATHERTON, 1967; HATHERTON & DICKINSON, 1969; DICKINSON
1970, 1973, 1975; NINKOVICH & HAYS. 1972; LEFEVRE. 1973).
'
SHERVAIS (1982) used the Ti-V diagram to distinguishe basalts of
dIfferent tectonic settings. He demonstrated that Ti
vs.
V Plots
clearly distinguishe arc related tholeites, MORB and alkali
basalts
According to that Tl-V diagram the Ti/V ratio of the basalts decrease~
as their depth of origin increases (SHERVAIS. 1982).
HODDER
(1985)
considered that the Ti/V ratio may be
an
alternatIve to the K~O-depth and enables 3dditional constrains to be
placed on the likely develcpmental stages of island arcs.
On that
basis he extended the applIcation at the Ti/V-depth relatlonshlp to
subd~ctlon
setting
volcanism comparing it WIth the
K20-depth
relationship.
The subductlon zone of the Hellenic arc is clear but it shows
structural complexity
(MAKROPOULOS & BURTON. 1984). Studies on the
seismIcity of the Aegean region (KONDOPOULOU et al., 1985) have led to
the conclus)on that the dlP values in the east and west edges of the
Benioff zone are hlgher than the dip value in its central port.
According to that. the depth of the orIgin of the parentol magmas of
the calc-alkallne volcanic rocks may be different at the various
sectors of
the arc and as a consequence, the Ti/V- and K~O- depth
relutionships m0Y also differ. As a contribution to the stUdy of the
complex charart~risti~s of the Benioff zone of the HellenIC arc the
Ti/V- aod K~O- depth relationships of volcanic roCks from the Aegean
island arc.
one of
the structural elements of the Hellenic arc
(BIJU-DUVAL et ~l"
1974), are comp~red In .the pre~ent paper.
GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL SETTING
The Aegean Sea (Fig.l) represents one of the geologically most
active regions in Europe. It 15 a geologically complex area wlch is
part of the Alploe belt. situated between the HellenJdes of rooinland
Greece and the comparable Turklsh ranges (Pontids. Central Ranges and
Taurids) wich are largely of MesozOlc age.
The dynamic/kinematic evolution of the Aegean area has been
studied by many researchers (e.g. PAPAZACHOS & COMNINAKIS,
1971;
BIJU-DUVAL et al.,
1974;
PAPAZACHOS.
1977.
1990; MAKRIS,

1981;
MAKROPOULOS &
BURTON,
1984;
SPAKMAN et al.,
1988;
DE BOER,
1989). The high
seismIcity and the extensive volcanlc activity,
even in historic
times,
has been attributed to the subduction of the Mediterranean sea
floor
(part of the African Plate) beneath the Aegean Plate at the
Hellenic Trench. to the south of Crete (Fig. 1). As a consequense of
the subduction there has been southward migration (roll-back) of the
Mediterranean lithosphere flexure during the last 13 Ma,
creati~g
extensional conditions_which have permitted subsidence of the Aegeo~
Sea.
Fault plane solutlons from recent seIsmIC actIVity (PAPADOPOULOS
et al.,
1986) indicate compression beneath the fore-arc region. N~

(1985) found. on the basls of the foci of intermediate depth
earthquakes. high dip values In the east and west edges of the BeniOff
zone (36~ and 42~ respectively) and low dip value in its central part
(about 25~). PAPAZACHOS (1990) defined. on the same basis, two dipping
parts of the Benioff zone with clearly different dipping angles. The
external part which dips slightly (dip angle 10
and the internal
part which dips steeply with an average dip angle equal to 38-. The
internal part of the Benioff zone dips below the volcanic arc.
The volcanic centres of the Aegean island arc have their base On
contlnental crust.
the exposed part of which consists of marbles
schists and gneisses of Eocene-Miocene age. Extension has resulted i~
considerable thinning of the continental crust. estimated to be by as
much as 25% just to the south of the arc beneath the sea of Crete (LE
PICHON & ANGELIER, 1981). The crust 1S th1cker beneath the western and
eastern sectors of the arc (32- 34 km) than in the central sector
(23-26 km) (MAKRIS. 1977).
The volcanoes of the Aegean arc appear to have erupted lavas of
markedly varied chem1stry. All are essentIally calc-alkaline in
character and exhibit the high LIL/HFS element ratios and low Nb

environment.
Geochemical study of SUItes of samples from the different
volcanic centres making up the arc (MITROPOULOS et al .. 1987) has
shown that although major and trace-eleme~t ratios WIthin each
volcanic centre are 90nsistent and f~ll withi~' a narrow range,

less fractionated REE patterns and are less enriched in LIL elements,
relative to the HFS elements. than the lavas of the islands located at
the eastern (Nisyros. Kos) and western(~egjna. Methana, Poras)
sectors of the arc. LovaS from the ea5tern and western sectors of the
arc also have much higher levels of Ba and Sr and relatively lower Th,
K and Rb than those from Santorini.
These inler-island dIfterences cannot be explained by a SImple
tractional crystallization process of a common/similar source for each
volcanic centre. They reflect compositional differences 1n the mantle
source and/or 1n melting condItIons. A major factor controlIng the
melting condItIons is the depth of melting.
Studies on the mIneral chemistry of the lavas from the varioUS
sectors of the arc
(MITROPOULOS & TARNEY. 1991) have also shown
SIgnificant differences WhICh are due to differences in:
(1) the
compositIon of the magma involved; (2) the amount of the fl~id phase
involved in the crystalllzation process; (3) differences in the f02
values which are higher In Santorini than in the other volcanic
centres from the eastern and western sectors of the arc.

In order to test the K~O-depth correlation for the volcanic rocks
of the Aegean arc, the K20 content corresponding to a SiO~ content of
60% and termed as K"... , was chosen as an indicator. The silica content
of 60% was chosen because the lavas of the western sector of the arc
and
especially those of Aegina and Poros are more acidic in
composition. The K~w value for each group of rocks was estimated by
the
use of simple Harker variation diagrams of K2 0 versus 5i0 2
(DICKINSON, 1975) which are given in Fig. 3. As it is shown from these
diagrams,
the K",(:. value of the Santorini lavas is con3iderably higher
than those of the lavas trom the volcanic centres of the western
sector of the arc suggesting greater depth of magma genesis.
THE Ti/V-DEPTH RELATIONSHIP
Ti and V are among the transition metals which are considered to
be
immobile dur.ing alteration or metamorphism. The geochemical
behavior of Ti is relatively well known and it has been widely used as
a discriminator of the tectonic setting of b~9altic m~groas (e.g.
PEARCE & CANN, 1973). A detalled account of the geochemical behavior
of V under differing conditions is given by SHERVAIS (1982). SHERVAIS
used plots of Ti vs. V to determine possible tectonic settings of
ophiolites as well as of modern voloanic rock associations. He
considered that SInce the crystal/liquid partition coefficients for V
vary
with increaeing fO~ from >1 to «1 while the partition
coefficients for Ti are almost alwoy$ «I, the depletion of V relative
to Ti is a function of the fO~ of the magma and its'source. the degree
of partial melting ond subsequent fractional crystallization. On that
basis,
the Ti/V rativ Increases from volcanIC rocks from island arcs
(i20)
through MORB (20-50) to alkaline rocks (>50). HODDER (1985)
related the depth of origin of basaltic magmas with the TI/V ratios as
the order of magma depth origlo is the reVer9& of the ratios of the
Ti/V ratios of the basalts in SHERVAIS' (1982) discrimination dIagram.
The rock sdmple~ from the volcanic centres of the Aegean island
arc descrIbed above are plotted in the Ti/V diagram in three
distinctive group3 (Fig. 4). The ldv~s from Santorini show hIgh linear
relationship (c.c. = 0.91). Similarly high linear relationships are
shown by the lavas from Methana (c.c.~ 0.89) ond those from Aegina and
Poros
(c.c.
= 0.81). Although there is eVIdence of
magnetite
fractionation
(i.e. negative relationship between Ti and SiO~ or Zr;
MITROPOULOS et a1., 1987), the low Ti/V ratios of the lavas from the
volcanic centrea of the Aegean island arc are comparable to those of
calc-alkaline rocks from island arc settings (SHERVAIS, 1982; HODDER.
1985) .
.,
In order to identify the depth of origin of the parental magmas,
the Ti/V ratios of the least differentiated lavas. showing the higher
Kuno solidification index (51) were considered (HODDER, 1985). As it
is shown from the diagrams of Fig. 5, where the Ti/V ratios are
plotted against the sr, the depth of origin of the parental magma is
greater for the lavas of the volcanic centre of Santorini than for
those of the volcanic centres of the western sector of the Aegean
island arc.

concluded that the parental magma of the volcanic rocks froro Santorini
may have been originated at a greater depth than the parental magmas
of the volcanic rocks from Aegina, Methana and Poras. This difference
is in accordance to the geophysical data giving a hIgher dip value
(42·)
in the west edge of the Beniof zone than the dip value (25·) in
its central part (KONTOPOULOU at al .. 1985) as well as a greater
crustal thickness beneath the western sector of the arc
(32-34 km)
than in the central eector t23~26 km: MAKRIS. 1977).
Although the Ti/Y ratio of the lavas from the examined volcanlc
centres seems to increase with differentiation (fig. 5), almqst all
the rock saroples plot between the MORB and the lAB regression
lines
(HODDER.
1985)
in the TilY vs. sr diagrams (fig. 5). MITROPOULOS et
·al.
(1987) showed that the parental magmas of theae lavas may have
been evolved as complex mixtures of sources available for melting as
the subcontinental lithosphere is replaced by uprising asthenosphere
material. which is in accordance with the above Ti-V characteristics
(HODDER, 1985).
