کاربرد ترکیب ژئوشیمیایی در تعیین سنگ مادر رسوبات تخریبی: مطالعه موردی از رسوبات جنوب و باختر دریاچه ارومیه

The Urmia Lake, which is a tectonic depression in the northwest of Iran, has received a lot of eroded sediments of the geological records of the lake watershed. Because of the constant drought in the recent years, sediments have been subjected to the wind erosion and thus are an important source for local and regional emission during dust storms. In this research the south and west sediments of the Urmia playa lake have studied on the parent rock issue. Bivariate plots such as Th/Co versus La/Sc and TiO۲ versus Al۲O۳ and comparison proportion of the trace elements such as La/Sc, Th/Sc, La/Co, Th/Co and Cr/Th display mainly the felsic and partly basic rocks source for the studied sediments. Major and trace spider plots of the studied sediments display their depletion with respect to Sc, V, Cr, Ni and enrichment with respect to Th and Sr, confirm mainly a felsic and partly mafic and ultramafic source rocks. Geochemistry of the major elements shows the dry climatic conditions during deposition of Urmia Lake sediments, suggested by bivariate plots of SiO۲ against the sum of Al۲O۳, K۲O and Na۲O as well as the amount of chemical index of weathering.
