青藏高原各地体的地壳-上地幔结构及其东西向的变化特征

青藏高原是由多个地体拼合而成的,在印度板块向北俯冲的长期作用下,各地体被挤压,地壳缩短,高原隆升。尽管在北北东向挤压作用下发生了高原的近南北向的断裂活动,但各地体本身的结构整体上保持相对稳定,不仅地壳浅部的地层、岩石、古生物保持着各自的特征,而且深部Moho面的变化和岩石圈的特征也是相似的。青藏高原的相距500km以上的2条宽频地震探测剖面的接收函数结果证实:高喜马拉雅地体、特提斯喜马拉雅地体、冈底斯地体、羌塘地体和巴颜喀拉地体在东西方向上保持着相近的速度特征。这充分说明,印度板块向北俯冲与青藏高原碰撞,引发各地体碰撞造山与高原隆升是地壳和岩石圈的整体构造运动,高原各地体,至少高原腹地仍然保持着大致相同的深部结构,Moho面、岩石圈底界面的深度和产状变化不大。     

青藏高原新生代地堑构造研究中几个问题的讨论

青藏高原新生代近南北走向地堑构造是高原现今最为显著的构造现象,对探讨青藏高原构造演化具有重要意义,也是现今高原研究的热点构造问题之一。针对目前地堑构造研究中存在的分布范围、形成时代和形成机制等关键问题,根据笔者新的研究和对以往研究资料综合分析认为,地堑构造广泛发育于喜马拉雅地体、冈底斯地体和羌塘地体,地堑构造形成于14～7Ma。地堑构造是高原地壳南北向强烈挤压短缩隆升之后,构造体制发生转变并在深部热动力学机制作用下快速隆升的结果,地堑构造标志着高原隆升作用由早期挤压短缩机制向晚期深部热动力机制的转变,并非高原隆升达到最大高度重力塌陷的标志。     

青藏高原的地幔动力学研究

青藏高原的形成是印度板块与欧亚大陆碰撞、挤压的结果，但简单的碰撞模型及南西—北东向的挤压无法解释高原现今所有的构造。因此，其他地球动力学因素，尤其是地幔动力学过程逐渐引起人们的关注。简要回顾青藏高原隆升的地幔动力学机制研究历史；较详细地介绍了青藏高原下深部结构的地幔动力学含义；并重点评述在青藏高原隆升的地幔动力学机制研究领域所取得的主要结果。说明在全球构造格局中，青藏高原不仅仅是印度和欧亚大陆会聚、碰撞以及大陆形变的结果，它也是青藏高原大陆岩石层和下伏地幔物质运动的相互耦合、相互作用的产物。     

青藏高原地壳结构构造及其与地震的关系

本文对1977-1983年间在青藏高原所进行11条爆炸地震剖面进行了重新解释;归纳了高原地壳结构9个方面的特点；论述了高原深部构造特征及与表层构造的相似性，讨论了高原的地震分布与地壳结构构造的关系。     

青藏高原构造动力及变形机制的弹性有限元分析

利用现今青藏高原地质和地球物理研究成果,本文建立了垂直高原总体构造走向的南北向直立剖面的有限元模型,其根据实际资料,划分成分层和有限单元。在此模型基础上进行弹性材料的计算模拟和分析。 印度板块向北运动挤压、高原北部岩石圈阻碍及软流圈拖曳是青藏高原北移变形、隆升和地壳增厚的动力机制;重力及其均衡调整作用是地体间相对运动和地体内差异运动的主要动力,另外青藏高原还受地壳和上地幔结构构造的影响。计算模拟还得到了一些有实际意义的结果,如活动的地质构造和地球物理现象的分带集中、主边界和雅鲁藏布江等地体边界断裂的逆冲性质、各地体南部地表的南倾正断层及喜马拉雅山南坡向南的重力推覆等。     

青藏高原南部岩脉分布及其研究意义

青藏高原是面积大、海拔高、时代最新的经典碰撞造山带，其演化过程被记录在各类地质作用中，包括各类岩浆作用。岩脉是与其他类型岩浆作用具有相似矿物成分的小规模侵入体，德国人Harry Rosenbusch早在1877年对其开展了系统研究。区域上大规模产出的基性岩墙群经常发育在伸展构造环境，并被认为代表地质历史时期发生的大陆裂解作用，其深部则与地幔柱或者热点存在相关。在青藏高原的羌塘地体、拉萨地体和喜马拉雅造山带发育了不同类型的岩脉或岩墙群。在羌塘地体中部出露面积约为40000km²的早二叠世（约283Ma）基性岩墙群属于大火成岩省（LIP）岩浆作用，与二叠纪中特提斯洋的初始打开有关。在西藏南部的特提斯喜马拉雅带产出的时代约为132Ma的白垩纪措美-班伯里大火成岩省岩浆作用，覆盖面积超过50000km²，其最早的岩浆作用可能代表了特提斯喜马拉雅之下大陆裂解之前孕育克格伦地幔柱头部的相关岩石圈伸展作用，并继续裂解导致了印度与澳洲大陆的裂解分离。本文着重讨论了高原南部的白垩纪以来的岩脉，它们主要发育在拉萨地体南部，蕴含了岩浆作用与构造作用的双重信息。它们具有不同的产状、成分、年龄和成因，对于揭示冈底斯弧演化、印度与亚洲大陆的碰撞过程，以及碰撞导致的高原应力状态变化等都具有重要的意义。高原南部岩脉主要分为三期：（1）时代约为90Ma的岩脉，具有玄武质到中酸性的成分，主要侵位在日喀则白垩纪弧后盆地，例如在南木林县南部出现的基性-酸性双峰式岩浆作用，可能代表了冈底斯岩浆弧之上发育的伸展作用。（2）时代约为50Ma的同碰撞期岩脉，主要侵入到林子宗火山岩、冈底斯岩基或者白垩世设兴组/昂仁组沉积地层等单元中，它们发育时间为60~41Ma，其峰期作用时间与冈底斯岩浆大爆发的时间一致，可能受控于深部俯冲的特提斯洋洋壳的断裂作用。（3）碰撞后中新世岩脉，多具有埃达克质岩石的地球化学性质，与区域上钾质-超钾质火山岩和埃达克质侵入岩的时代一致，它们是高原南部加厚下地壳部分熔融作用的产物，可能受控于下地壳拆沉作用或者与南北向裂谷带密切相关的板片撕裂有关。这些岩脉的延伸方向既有南北向，也有东西向，在构造上可能代表了高原隆升到最大高度后深部拆沉作用导致的山体垮塌伴生的伸展构造有关。     

青藏高原区域重磁异常的东西向分区及其构造地质特征

自从大陆整合以来作为一个整体的青藏高原继续受着印度板块向北俯冲的影响,也必定不断地改造着原各地体的结构构造,形成了高原整体意义上东西向的差异。这种差异与原本各地体的组成、结构和东西向延伸不一致。这不仅表现在南北向断裂构造跨各单个地体范围的出现,而且,逐步形成了东西的分区。这种分区突出地表现在区域重力与磁场的特征上,这不仅是局部的岩石磁性与密度变化的结果,而且是由于印度板块向北俯冲过程中,在其前缘的不同部位上经受的压力不同,以及地块的隆升与扩张作用的差异造成了高原东西各区段的地壳组分与厚度的变化。青藏高原的南北向断裂构造并非地壳上层的局部断裂,它具有深层的原因。由于印度板块向北推进的过程中不是均匀地齐头并进,而是在帕米尔高原以东的青藏高原范围内存在着推进速度和俯冲深度的差异,随着高原隆升的加剧高原本身出现断裂,自中新生代以来就存在着一定差异,所以南北向的断裂构造比目前地表见到的多些,而且具有较大的深度,Moho面的深度和地壳厚度都受南北向断裂的控制,并形成了区域重磁场的变化。同时,高原的东西向拉张作用也使南北断裂带发育加剧。     

喜马拉雅—青藏高原造山带地质演化—显生宙亚洲大陆生长

喜马拉雅-青藏高原造山带的地质历史显示出，自从约70Ma印度板块-亚洲板块开始碰撞支来，至少有1360km的SN向缩短量被喜马拉雅-青藏高原造山带所吸收，导致新生代青藏高原最终构造格局明显的地壳缩短作用，大约开始在始新世（50-40Ma)。这一事件几乎同时发生在高原南部的特提斯喜马拉雅和高原北部的昆仑山及祁连山，喜马拉雅-青藏高原造山带的古生代和中生代构造历史强烈地控制着新生代变形历史相应变分布，松潘-甘孜-可可西里地体和羌塘地体三叠系复理石杂岩的广泛出现，在空间上可能和青藏高原中部的新生代逆冲作用和火山作用有关，青藏高原南部和中部的地壳和上地幔之间地震特性的显著差异是中生代和新生代2种构造的表现形式，而前者对第三纪局部缩短的收缩变形起到了决定性的作用，并导致自由水释放进入青藏高原中部的上地幔和下地壳，并引起岩石圈地幔和地壳中物质的部分熔融。     

影响青藏高原的天气系统与降水中氧同位素的关系

青藏高原的天气系统对降水中氧同位素比率的大小有重要的影响，在西风槽的影响下，降水中δ＾１８Ｏ与温度呈正相关关系；在切变线和高原低涡系统的影响下，高原季风区降水δ＾１８Ｏ与降水量和温度呈负相关，非季风区降水中δ＾１８Ｏ与温度仍呈正相关。     

青藏高原地壳的低速层与部分熔融

青藏高原各地体的地壳结构与厚度存在明显差异,依据过去多年中法合作的地震探测资料结合其它资料给出了青藏高原的地壳结构图。对高原多数地体的地壳中存在的低速层进行了研究,表明低速层的形成主要来自地体碰撞时,地壳的推覆叠置,使部分高原浅部上地壳的中酸性成分地层进入中下地壳的位置,仍为长英质岩性成分,尚未跨越固相点进入部分熔融状态。     

青藏高原地热资源与地壳热结构

青藏高原具有独特的地壳结构和高热背景。南部的喜马拉雅地块属于"热壳冷幔"型,拉萨-冈底斯地体属于"热壳热幔"型地块,该区域内中地壳范围内存在一低速高导层,可能为部分熔融岩浆囊,形成了规模宏伟的地热带。高原水热活动带主要出露在喜马拉雅-冈底斯-念青唐古拉之间,>25℃的水热区有283处,>80℃的沸、热泉有近40处。著名的羊八井高温热储地热田,已经建成装机容量达25.18 MW的地热电站,为拉萨输送了大量电力,地热资源在高原能源结构中占有重要的地位,具有巨大的开发前景和价值。      

Important crustal growth in the Phanerozoic: Isotopic evidence of granitoids from east-central Asia

The growth of the continental crust is generally believed to have been essentially completed in the Precambrian, and the amount of juvenile crust produced in the Phanerozoic is considered insignificant. Such idea of negligible growth in the Phanerozoic is now challenged by the revelation of very large volume of juvenile crust produced in the period of 500 to 100 Ma in several orogenic belts. While appreciable volumes of juvenile terranes in North America (Canadian Cordillera, Sierra Nevada and Peninsular Range, Appalachians) have been documented based on Nd isotopic data, the mass of new crust formed in the East-Central Asian Orogenic Belt (ECAOB), eastern part of the Altaid Tectonic Collage, appears to be much greater than the above terranes combined. New and published Nd-Sr isotope data indicate that the Phanerozoic granitoids from the southern belt of the ECAOB (Xinjiang-West Mongolia-Inner Mongolia-NE China) as well as from Mongolia and Transbaikalia were generated from sources dominated by a depleted mantle component. These granitoids represent a significant growth of juvenile crust in the Phanerozoic. Although most plutons in this huge orogenic belt belong to the calc-alkaline series, the ECAOB is also characterized by the emplacement of voluminous A-type granites. The origin of these rocks is probably multiple and is still widely debated. However, the isotopic data (Sr-Nd-O) and trace element abundance patterns of A-type granites from the ECAOB clearly indicate their mantle origin. The evolution of the ECAOB and the entire Altaid Collage is most likely related to successive accretion of arc complexes. However, the emplacement of a large volume of post-tectonic A-type granites requires another mechanism—probably through a series of processes including underplating of massive basaltic magma, partial melting of these basic rocks to produce granitic liquids, followed by extensive fractional crystallization. The proportion of juvenile to recycled, as well as that of arc-related to plume-generated, continental crust remains to be evaluated by more systematic dating and isotope tracer studies.     

青藏高原地壳上地幔形成与演化的地球物理研究

近年来,我国在青藏高原取得了大量地球物理资料,1980-1982年中法合作又在西藏得到丰富的深部地球物理资料.青藏高原是一个整体.它的构造活动可以分为南、北、中三个带.中部是整体隆升,且已达到均衡.南北两缘受到强烈挤压、叠覆,是差异隆升,但未达到均衡.它的构造作用形式,可以分为上、中、下三层.上层(上地壳)以叠覆为主,中层(下地壳)以挤压为主,下层(异常地幔)以隆升为主.在上下地壳之间有一壳内低速低阻层,是一个主要的滑曳面.它的地质历史发展可以分为两个阶段.印度板块与西藏板块未碰撞前,异常地幔使高原缓慢隆升.在碰撞后,地壳加厚,重力均衡使高原快速隆升.     

地壳深俯冲与富钾火山岩成因

富钾火山岩是一类兼具壳幔双重地球化学特征的特殊岩石组合 ,它们不可能由亏损或原始地幔所派生 ,成岩过程中必须有地壳物质的参与 ,将地壳物质引入富钾火山岩成岩过程的主要动力机制即是深俯冲作用。洋壳和陆壳均可以通过俯冲进入地幔 ,俯冲地壳物质析出流体对地幔岩石的交代作用是导致富钾火山岩具特殊地球化学特征的主要原因。根据对大别—苏鲁造山带南北两侧晚中生代富钾火山岩的实例研究 ,表明该区火山岩的形成均受到了俯冲洋壳析出流体的交代作用 ,但造山带北侧富钾火山岩的形成还叠加了俯冲的扬子陆壳析出流体的交代作用 ,是多次富集事件综合作用的结果。文中还对富钾火山岩成因研究中值得进一步深入探索的问题进行了讨论。     

Divergent behaviour of Th and U during anatexis: Implications for the thermal evolution of orogenic crust

Mobilization and migration of the heat‐producing elements (HPE) during anatexis is a critical process in the development of orogenic systems, the evolution of continental crust and the stabilization of cratons. In many crustal rocks the accessory minerals are the dominant hosts of Th and U, and the behaviour of these minerals during partial melting controls the concentrations of these elements in draining melt and residue. We use phase equilibrium modelling to evaluate if loss of melt saturated in the essential structural constituents of the accessory minerals can explain the concentrations of Th and U in residual metasedimentary migmatites and granulites along two well‐characterized crustal transects in the Ivrea zone, Italy and at Mt Stafford, Australia. While an equilibrium model of accessory mineral breakdown and melt loss approximates the depletion of U in the residual crust along both transects, it does not explain the relative enrichment of Th. We propose that the high Th concentrations in residual crust may be explained by either inhibition of monazite dissolution by kinetic factors or near‐peak growth of new high Th grains and overgrowth rims on undissolved monazite due to migration of melt through the orogenic crust. Retention of the HPE in the middle and deep orogenic crust may allow metasedimentary granulites to overcome the enthalpy barrier of melting to achieve ultrahigh temperature conditions and may be partly responsible for the slow cooling of many granulite terranes. Lastly, although the mantle was warmer and crustal heat production was higher in the past, peak temperatures and apparent thermal gradients of high‐temperature (HT)–ultrahigh temperature (UHT) granulite terranes have not decreased significantly since the Neoarchean. However, the pressure of HP granulite facies metamorphism has increased gradually from the Archean to the Phanerozoic, which suggests that the lithosphere became stronger as secular cooling of the mantle enabled plate collisions to form thicker orogens. Thus, as the lithosphere became stronger, the proportion of HT–UHT metamorphism associated with thin lithosphere and mantle heat has decreased, whereas the proportion associated with the formation of thick crust and radiogenic heat has increased.     

Introduction to tectonics of China

The continental crust of China is a mosaic of cratonic blocks and orogenic belts, containing small cratons and terranes with various tectonic settings. They have diverse origins and complex histories of amalgamation, and often suffered repeated reworking after multiple episodes of amalgamation. In the last three decades, extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical investigations have been carried out on these cratonic blocks and intervening orogenic belts, producing an abundant amount of new data and competing interpretations. This provides important insights into understanding the formation and evolution of the Chinese continents. The papers assembled in this volume present a timely and comprehensive overview on major advancements and controversial issues related to the formation and evolution of continental crust in China. Complex tectonic histories were experienced not only by the large-scale cratonic blocks and orogenic belts, but also by small-scale terranes and orogens between and inside these blocks. Nevertheless, our understanding of lithotectonic units and geological processes has been greatly advanced by recent studies of zirconology and geochemistry for various rock types from major petrotectonic units in China. It has been further advanced from integrated interpretations of geochemical and petrological data for petrogenesis of magmatic rocks. An overview of these observations and interpretations provides new insights into understanding the continental plate tectonics and the chemical geodynamics of subduction zones.

<正>Greenstone belts of the eastern Dharwar Craton,India are reinterpreted as composite tectonostratigraphic terranes of accreted plume-derived and convergent margin-derived magmatic sequences based on new high-precision elemental data.The former are dominated by a komatiile plus Mg-tholeiitic basalt volcanic association,with deep water siliciclastic and banded iron formation(BIF) sedimentary rocks.Plumes melted at90 km under thin rifted continental lithosphere to preserve inlraoceanic and continental margin aspects.Associated alkaline basalts record subduction-recycling of Mesoarchean oceanic crust,incubated in the asthenosphere.and erupted coevally with Mg basalts from a heterogeneous mantle plume.Together.komaliites-Mg basalts-alkaline basalts plot along the Phanerozoic mantle array in Th/Yb versus Nb/Yb coordinate space,representing zoned plumes,establishing that these reservoirs were present in the Neoarchean mantle.

华北克拉通中生代下地壳置换：非造山过程的壳幔交换

华北克拉通内部前寒武纪麻粒岩地体和新生代火山岩的麻粒岩捕虏体的研究表明，前寒武纪下地壳与现今下地壳的是不同的。下地壳的主要置换发生在中生代。这表明，华北克拉通中生代的构造重大转折，不仅使得盆山格局发生了变化，而且下地壳和上地幔的组成和结构发生了变化。已发表的关于东部岩石圈减薄的机理有折沉作用、幔柱构造模式，均与造山带的演化相联系。本文注意到，华北克拉通最下部地壳的部分或大部都已被中代的下地壳置换，它们不仅发生在克拉通边部，而且发生在克拉通内部。因此华北克拉通中生代的下地壳被中生代的下地壳取代的作用，可称为华北克拉通中生代换底作用。中生代时期的华北拉通下可能存在有规模的地幔柱，强烈的壳幔交换是换底的作用的主要方式，热侵蚀和化学侵蚀的细节还不清楚。但可以推测这与造山带的演化没有直接关系，和造山带岩石圈根部的折沉作用有一般意义的底侵作用不同。
