Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for simulating intraplate volcanism. A technical solution is: mixing 47-60 wt % of calcium oxide powder, 35 wt % of alumina powder and 5-18 wt % of silica powder uniformly to obtain a mixed powder; putting the mixed powder in a corundum crucible, placing the crucible in a high-temperature furnace provided with an observation window outside which an industrial camera with a depression angle of 30-45° is provided, heating to 1,500-1,900° C. at a rate of 1-30° C./min under an air atmosphere at a normal pressure, holding for 0.5-5 h; recording intraplate volcanism formed by upwelling of a melt of the mixed powder along an inner wall of the crucible during the holding with the industrial camera to obtain a simulated process of the intraplate volcanism.
