火山碎屑岩筒

火山碎屑岩筒（英语：diatreme），有时被称为maar-diatreme火山，是由气体爆炸形成的火山通道。当岩浆通过地壳裂缝上升并与浅层地下水接触时，会造成炽热的水蒸气，它和火山气体一起的快速膨胀，引起一系列爆炸。而留下了一个相对较浅的低平火山口（maar）。原来地壳裂缝的通道也最后被岩石充满。当火山碎屑岩筒突破地表时，一般形成陡峭的倒锥形火山锥。火山碎屑岩筒一词亦可指，由爆炸或静水压力造成的，任何由破碎岩石形成的凹形体。无论它是否与火山作用有关，这个词来自古希腊语^[1]。

分布

火山碎屑岩筒火山是陆上和岛屿上第二常见的火山类型。大多数火成岩侵入体不会产生火山碎屑岩筒，因为必须有地下水才能形成火山碎屑岩筒^[2]。例如加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的 Blackfoot diatreme 和 Cross diatreme皆为火山碎屑岩筒^[3]。

经济地质

火山碎屑岩筒有时与经济矿床共生，例如起源于上地幔的金伯利岩岩浆。当此岩浆侵入而形成火山碎屑岩筒时，可带出形成于150-200公里深度的钻石。金伯利岩岩浆有时含大块钻石的捕虏岩，更具经济效益^[4]。
