Jeju Island is characterized by a complex magma plumbing system, with deep crustal seismic structure showing variations between different regions, reflecting diverse rock compositions and dynamic processes. The presence of a residual magma plumbing system on the island was revealed through dense seismic data, and the use of robust research methods aids in enhancing our understanding of the island's evolution.
Jeju Island is an intraplate volcanic island with enigmatic origins, located on the continental shelf south of the Korean Peninsula. A dense temporary seismic array, operated on Jeju Island from 2013 to 2015, revealed several important constraints on the magma plumbing system of Jeju Island. In this study, we determined the deep crustal seismic structure beneath Jeju Island from the teleseismic P-to-S converted phases (receiver functions) recorded from 20 temporary and three permanent stations. We removed the contribution of near-surface reverberations in the resulting receiver functions by applying a resonance removal filter. We estimated crustal P-to-S velocity ratio (V-P/V-S) and discontinuity depth to provide telcseismic constraints on the composition and structure. We observed two major seismic discontinuities, which are the upper boundaries of a mid-to-lower crustal low-velocity zone (LVZ) and the Moho transition zone. The depth to the upper boundary of the LVZ is deep in the west and southeast (24-30 kin) and shallow in the northeast (8-11 km). The LVZ can be interpreted as an extensively distributed residual magma plumbing system, with magma batches stalled at various levels and at various degrees of crystallization, consistent with the chemical diversity of Jeju magmas. The seismic characteristics of the Moho transition zone vary greatly among regions. The top interface of the Moho transition zone is at a wide range of depth (26-40 kin), and is shallow at 26-29 Ian depths beneath central Jeju, suggesting a complex Moho topography. The presence of mafic cumulates and partially molten mushes may contribute to the observed shallow seismic discontinuity at a depth of 26-29 km. The lack of obvious crustal thickening below the shield volcano, Mt Halla, may be associated with mantle upwelling or presence of mafic underplating and cumulates below Jeju. Spatial variations of crustal V-P/V-S represent highly heterogeneous crustal composition, resulting from magma differentiation during the evolution of the island.
