Abstract

Zoned crystals record changes in magma evolution, such as injection of mafic magma into a shallow magma chamber, which often triggered to eruption of arc volcanoes. We applied diffusion chronometry for reverse zoned crystals of orthopyroxene from 6 eruptions of Bezymianny volcano during 2006–2012 years and showed correlation between time of injection of new magma and recorded seismicity. We descripted two type of Bezymianny volcano eruptions, which driven by different trigger mechanisms: 1) orthopyroxene rims formed during up to 3 years previous to eruption; 2) orthopyroxene rims formed during 0–2 months previous to eruption.
