Abstract

Abstract

Sedimentary processes of seamounts are closely related to global paleoclimate change and paleoceanography evolution. The Weijia Guyot retained the complete sedimentary records since the Late Mesozoic, which made Weijia Guyot an ideal area for tectonic evolution studies of seamounts in the western Pacific Ocean. Based on the results from sub-bottom profiling, ocean drilling, and the latest research, in this paper it explores the sedimentary process of Weijia Guyot since Late Mesozoic by studying the sedimentary characteristics, volcanic activity and subsidence rate of the seamount. There are three sedimentary units on the summit of Weijia Guyot. Direct evidence of rejuvenated volcanism during Eocene is found in this paper, and deposition rate of Weijia Guyot is determined as approximately 6.03 mm/ka since Middle Miocene (~11.6 Ma). The evolution model of Weijia Guyot is established for the first time, which is being divided into seven main phases. New perspective about the subsidence rate of Weijia Guyot is revealed: the subsidence rate was low before Oligocene, and the water depth at the summit ranged within hundreds of meters; subsequently, the subsidence speeded up during Early Miocene (~20 Ma) after an inflection point, and it may be related to the rapid change of the direction of the Pacific plate movement during this period.
