岷江源地区新构造运动特征

为了深入了解岷江断裂带晚新生代以来的构造活动,以岷江源地区河谷地貌、新生代盆地、夷平面为主要研究内容,研究区内新构造运动的特征。结果表明该区河谷地貌以宽谷和窄谷的交替出现为特点,源区发育三级夷平面,新构造运动强烈,地貌差异显著。该区新近纪以来主要经历了早期(5.3 Ma)伸展断陷和中期(1.8 Ma)逆冲推覆兼左行走滑及晚期(0.13 Ma)掀斜抬升演化过程。岷江源区河谷地貌的演化严格受新构造运动的影响,构造运动控制了河谷以及第四纪断陷盆地的形态,影响了河岸两侧阶地的分布、形态与结构。本区新构造运动具有南北分带型和东西向掀斜运动的不对称性等特征。本研究为进一步研究青藏高原东缘的活动构造提供了重要的地貌证据。     

西秦岭岷县-宕昌地区洮河和岷江阶地特征对比研究——兼论中国南北构造带在西秦岭的地貌响应

西秦岭岷县-宕昌地区位于我国环绕青藏高原东北缘的重力异常和地壳增厚梯度带,同时又位于贺兰-川滇南北构造带与秦岭造山带交汇迭加复合(西秦岭-松潘大陆)构造结内。特殊的大陆动力学环境形成了特定构造-地貌转换区域,区内独特的河流格局和河流地貌研究可以为认识青藏高原东北缘隆升最新过程和南北构造带构造活动的地貌响应提供重要依据。笔者通过对该区洮河和岷江两条河流阶地特征的对比研究,结合区域地貌过程分析,提出在晚更新世中-晚期(30～50kaBP),洮河与岷江曾为同一条河流,笔者称之为古岷江,其中岷县以西现今洮河的临潭-卓尼-岷县段为古岷江上游,而岷县以北洮河的木寨岭南坡-岷县段则为古岷江之支流。30～50kaBP以来地壳快速隆升形成的北北东向分水岭切断了古岷江上下游的水力联系,阻塞了古岷江下泄,且在岷县一带形成汇水盆地,沉积了近30m的河湖相堆积,而后木寨岭南坡-岷县的古岷江的支流溯源侵蚀,切穿了木寨岭分水岭,与西秦岭北坡的洮河水系贯通,逐渐形成现今的河流格局。该地区晚更新世以来形成的北北东向地貌隆起带导致的洮河和岷江水系之间的切断和袭夺,可以解释为印度板块和欧亚板块的碰撞造成的青藏高原隆升过程中东北缘高原物质向东扩展受到阻挡和南北构造带深部热物质上涌的地貌学响应。     

岷江水系流域地貌特征及其构造指示意义*

晚新生代以来发育岷山构造带内部的岷江水系流域盆地,无论是流域盆地内的新生代沉积记录,还是其流域地貌所呈现的典型特征,都深刻指示了青藏高原东缘地区的新构造活动。文章基于数字高程模型(DEM)数据空间分析技术,利用最新获取的高精度SRTM-DEM数据,系统提取了岷江水系中上游流域汇水盆地以及67个亚流域盆地的典型地貌参数,如流域面积、河流长度、分支比等。通过对流域地貌参数以及纵向河道高程剖面等的统计分析,认为岷江水系东西两侧具有截然不同的地貌特征,东侧流域盆地主要表现为面积小、河流长度短、分支比低以及河流梯度大等特征。由于岷江水系东西两侧地层岩性的对称发育以及整个岷江流域盆地对气候因素具有同一的响应特征,所以亚流域盆地典型参数特征指示了岷江水系两侧晚新生代构造活动的差异性,反映并印证了岷江断裂东西两侧晚新生代以来的不均衡抬升。晚新生代以来岷山构造带的快速隆起以及龙门山构造带内部差异活动是造成岷江水系东侧各支流发育程度低,东西两侧亚流域差异地貌特征形成的主要原因。     

涟江源区河流地貌特征及其与构造的响应

通过对涟江源区河流地貌及地质构造的调查发现,区内河谷地貌平面展布形式有纵谷、横谷及斜向谷,纵断面形态主要为"V"型、次之为"U"型.支流与干流交汇处发育三处盆地,各盆地中均发育三级阶地,分别形成于距今56.7±3.6 Ka,24.2±2.4Ka,0.8±0.250 Ka.区内河谷地貌、阶地特征与新构造运动地壳间歇性抬升...     

岷江断裂带晚新生代逆冲推覆构造：来自钻孔的证据

岷江断裂带由2个不同性质的断裂组成:早期岷江逆冲断裂和晚期岷江正断裂。野外地质调查和钻孔资料发现在岷江西侧山麓之下存在一套厚度大于110m的早更新世灰黑色湖相地层,三叠系灰岩逆掩在这套湖相地层之上。由此确定岷江断裂是一条西倾的逆冲断层,逆冲作用发生在中更新世之前。在中更新世时期,岷江逆冲断裂发生构造负反转,在其前缘形成一条东倾的正断层,它控制了岷江上游漳腊盆地的发育。本文认为,岷山地区现今地震活动并非受控于岷江断裂带,而可能受到虎牙断裂及岷山隆起深部滑脱构造的控制,岷江断裂带位于该深部滑脱构造的上部。进而认为逆冲—推覆构造样式可能是青藏高原东缘晚新生代造山和快速隆升的主要变形机制。     

黄河贵德段河流阶地及演变研究

贵德盆地作为青藏高原东北部的一个构造地貌单元,处于黄河上游中段,盆地中河流阶地发育,但是阶地的形成时代仍存在很大争议.选择贵德盆地黄河阶地作为研究对象,并从龙羊峡至松坝峡共采集阶地ESR测年样品10个,进行了年代测试,结果表明贵德盆地新构造运动具有间歇性、差异性特征.笔者还并分析了黄河贵德段演变特征     

晚新生代岷江下蚀速率及其对青藏高原东缘山脉隆升机制和形成时限的定量约束

青藏高原东缘具有青藏高原地貌、龙门山高山地貌和山前冲积平原三个一级地貌单元 ,本文以岷江作为切入点 ,研究了该地区河流下蚀速率与山脉的隆升作用之间的相互关系。在建立岷江阶地序列的基础上 ,利用阶地高程和热释光年代学测年资料分别定量计算了岷江在川西高原、龙门山和成都盆地的下蚀速率 ,结果表明岷江各河段的下蚀速率明显不同 ,分别为 1.0 7～ 1.6 1mm / a、1.81m m/ a和 0 .5 9mm / a;在龙门山地区岷江的下蚀速率最高 ,约为川西高原地区的 1.5倍 ,约为成都平原地区的 3倍 ;而同一河段不同时期岷江的下蚀速率基本是连续的 ,具有很好的线性关系 ,可作为该河段整个河谷的下蚀速率。基于龙门山的表面隆升速率 (0 .3～ 0 .4 mm / a) ,在约束局部侵蚀基准面和气候变化对阶地形成的控制作用的基础上 ,本文建立了青藏高原东缘岷江下蚀速率与龙门山表面隆升速率之间的线性关系 ,结果表明河流下蚀速率约为山脉表面隆升速率的 5倍。根据龙门山表面在隆升速率和下切速率等方面均大于川西高原 ,并结合龙门山活动构造以走滑作用为主 ,笔者认为青藏高原东缘的边缘山脉以剥蚀隆升为主 ,兼有构造隆升作用。最后 ,根据岷江最大切割深度所需的时间 (3.4 8Ma)和成都盆地最古老的岷江冲积扇大邑砾岩的时间 (3.6 Ma     

北京西山大石河山峡阶地发育特征

大石河山峡总体上阶地较发育,阶地类型以基座阶地为主。下游陈家台—红煤场一带1~4级阶地发育较全,上游至庄户台一带,阶地数量减少,仅见一级阶地。上游沉积物多为砾石,砂、粘土等含量较少;而至下游,沉积物中砂、粘土组分的含量增加。红煤厂四级阶地棕红色泥质含砾粉砂中获得ESR年龄567±56ka,显示大石河河谷在第四纪中更新世早期初始发育,由于新构造运动产生间歇性隆升,在高位宽谷之下发育4级阶地,形成了如今的地貌特征,对比得出大石河流域辛开口至龙门台一段(山区)平均比降为7.71‰,600ka以来,大石河流域山区隆升速率为0.96mm/a。     

岷江演化讨论: 来自四川宜宾地区第四纪河流沉积物的重矿物证据*

河流沉积的重矿物可以较为准确反映源区的母岩性质,进而揭示河流的演化过程。本研究以岷江下游河流阶地沉积与现代沉积的重矿物为主要研究对象,开展了古流向、重矿物组合特征、特征重矿物类型及重矿物特征指数分析。研究结果表明: 岷江下游Ⅴ级阶地至Ⅲ级阶地沉积中的重矿物以岩浆岩型重矿物为主,其物源来自龙门山构造带;现代沉积中的重矿物以变质岩型重矿物为主,其物源来自松潘—甘孜褶皱带。结合重矿物特征指数对比分析,认为造成这种重矿物类型差异的原因是青藏高原东缘阶段性隆升引起的岷江溯源侵蚀。受昆黄运动B幕影响,岷江于0.73—0.7 Ma下切至汶川附近,Ⅴ级阶地形成;受昆黄运动C幕影响,岷江于0.5—0.3 Ma强烈下切,Ⅳ级阶地形成;受共和运动影响,岷江在0.11—0.09 Ma下切至石大关,同时形成Ⅲ级阶地;此后岷江继续溯源侵蚀,在距今27 ka左右形成现代岷江。     

Pleistocene tectonics inferred from fluvial terraces of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

This study of fluvial terraces of the River Rhine and tributaries aims to search for indications of Pleistocene tectonic activity. The study area includes the northern Upper Rhine Graben (URG), the Mainz Basin and the adjacent Rhenish Massif with the Middle Rhine Valley. High rates of Quaternary surface processes, large amount of human modifications, relatively slow tectonic deformation and presently low intra-plate seismic activity characterize this area. Therefore, the records of relatively slow tectonic deformation are less well preserved and thus difficult to detect. This study uses the relative position of fluvial terraces to determine the more local effects of fault movements on the terraces and to evaluate their displacement rates and patterns. The research is based on a review of previous terrace studies and new terrace mapping from the eastern Mainz Basin and the bordering URG using topographic map interpretations and field observations. This newly mapped sequence of terrace surfaces can be correlated to other terraces in the vicinity on the basis of relative height levels. Terrace correlation between the western Mainz Basin and Middle Rhine Valley relies on a single chronostratigraphic unit (Mosbach sands) and additional relative height correlations. This is the first study to present a continuous correlation of terraces from the western margin of the URG to the Rhenish Massif and enables the study of the transition from the subsiding graben to the uplifted Rhenish Massif. By means of a longitudinal profile, which ranges from the URG to the Rhenish Massif, the influence of individual fault movements on the terrace levels and the large-scale regional uplift is demonstrated. It is evident from the profile that the uplift of Early to Middle Pleistocene terraces increases northwards, towards the Rhenish Massif. The uplift was diachronic, with a significant pulse occurring first in the northern URG (Lower Pleistocene) and later in the Rhenish Massif (Middle Pleistocene). The largest vertical displacements are recorded for the boundary fault separating the Mainz Basin and the Rhenish Massif (Hunsrück–Taunus Boundary Fault) and for faults bounding the northeastern Mainz Basin. The motions and displacement rates calculated for individual faults indicate deformation rates in the order of 0.01–0.08 mm/year. At this stage, the calculation of displacement rates depends mostly on a single dated stratigraphic unit. Additional dating of terrace deposits is urgently needed to better constrain the temporal development of the terrace sequence and the impact of tectonic movements.     

青藏高原东缘宜宾地区第四纪河流沉积物中铁质重矿物特征及物源意义

大河流域的发育史和演化在地学界广受关注。探讨宜宾地区第四纪沉积物中铁质重矿物的特征,可为长江流域的演化提供重要证据,同时对于了解青藏高原东缘的隆升及沉积响应具有重要意义。本文以金沙江和岷江交汇处的宜宾地区第四纪沉积物中的铁质重矿物为研究对象,分析其在电子探针和背散射图像中的化学和形貌学特征,探究长江及其支流的物源演化过程。研究结果显示:岷江下游Ⅴ级阶地至Ⅳ级阶地沉积以磁铁矿为主,物源主要来自龙门山构造带;Ⅲ级阶地沉积以钛铁矿为主,物源仍然主要来自龙门山构造带;现代沉积中蓝晶石、磷灰石等包裹体的铁质矿物增多,其物源来自龙门山构造带和松潘—甘孜褶皱带。岷江Ⅴ级至Ⅲ级阶地形成时,岷江的源头主要位于龙门山构造带;Ⅲ级阶地形成以后,岷江不断向上溯源侵蚀,深入松潘—甘孜褶皱带内,逐渐形成现代岷江。金沙江Ⅴ级阶地和长江Ⅴ级阶地中均未出现攀枝花钒钛磁铁矿,此时金沙江攀枝花—宜宾河段未贯通,长江此时在研究区的物源主要由发源于龙门山构造带的岷江提供。金沙江Ⅳ级阶地中攀枝花钒钛磁铁矿大量出现,表明此时金沙江攀枝花—宜宾河段已经贯通,时间为Ⅳ级阶地开始沉积的时间,即0.5~0.3 Ma BP。     

岷江上游河流阶地发育特征及与古滑坡关系初步分析

河流阶地形成演化及其对滑坡的控制是近年来古滑坡研究的热点问题。笔者在对岷江上游河流阶地和古滑坡实地调查测试的基础上,对岷江上游河流阶地的级序、拔河高度、成因类型等进行了分析,绘制了阶地高程位相图和年龄位相图,并结合阶地和古滑坡年代,讨论了阶地与古滑坡的发育关系等。主要取得了以下认识:1)岷江上游的河流阶地具有分段性,成因主要为气候多期次波动与构造活动共同作用,古滑坡及堰塞湖是影响高山峡谷区河流阶地发育的重要因素;2)叠溪-茂县段在20~30 ka B.P.发生了多处大型古滑坡,其中20 ka B.P.的古滑坡可能主要是气候波动引发,30 ka B.P.发生的古滑坡可能主要受控于构造活动(地震);3)岷江上游大量分布的古滑坡堆积体与阶地发育的叠置关系有待进一步理清,开展该地区的河流阶地级序研究要充分考虑古滑坡和堰塞湖的影响.     

青衣江河流沉积与阶地特征及其成因演化

在系统整理分析前人成果资料基础上,对龙门山西南部与古青衣江改道相关的名山-邛崃砾石层和丹棱-思濛砾石层的砾石成分、砾度及砾向等统计资料进行分析和总结,讨论了砾石层的物源区、成因、形成时代等特征;结合对青衣江干流阶地最新的调查和测量结果,梳理总结了河流阶地的分布特征、高度、结构、发育程度和年龄等资料数据,并利用卫星遥感图像和数字高程模型（DEM）数据提取构造地貌和水系特征,发现青衣江流域地形是梯级降低的,其穿过的褶皱形成时间应该早于第四纪,并且第四纪时期青衣江形成的阶地是可连续对比的,其中宝兴-芦山段的阶地有过抬升,可能与该区的盲逆冲断层活动有关。依据青衣江流域的阶地特征,对水系演化变迁过程进行综合分析后提出,青衣江改道很可能是由于新构造期间河流多次袭夺造成的,其中龙门山西南段的盲逆冲断层活动引起的局部隆升为袭夺提供了构造条件。      

Quantification of Quaternary vertical movements in the central Pannonian Basin: A review of chronologic data along the Danube River, Hungary

This study aims at a new quantification of neotectonic deformation of the central part of the Pannonian Basin. We use terrace levels and associated travertine as well as speleothem data along the Danube River to quantify its incision rate and thus, estimate the amount and rate of uplift at the axis of the Hungarian Mountain Range (HMR).

Several terrace levels and other geomorphic features along the Danube river are indicative for Quaternary uplift of the axial part of the emerging Hungarian Mountain Range. While the correlative terraces are at considerable height at the axis of the HMR, the terraces are gradually dipping below the basin fill of the adjacent lowlands. The correlation of the terrace segments is difficult because of their poor preservation, small size and variable height. The geomorphologic horizons indicate gradual incision of the river throughout the Quaternary during simultaneous deformation. However, no reliable chronological data have been available so far to quantify landscape-forming processes such as uplift, incision or erosion rates.

A reconsideration of existing published data for three consecutive segments of the Danube valley yields incision rates between 0.14 and 0.41 mm/year for the last 360 ky, with the highest value for the area of the Danube Bend. Accordingly, the middle to late Quaternary uplift rate of the axial zone of the HMR exceeded significantly that of the marginal areas. These rates represent an approximation as some quantitative data are still controversial. Our results suggest that formation of the Danube terraces is result of river incision triggered by the uplift of the HMR and modified by periodic climate changes.     

太行山南缘晚更新世以来河流阶地的发育及其新构造运动意义

太行山南缘的武家湾河流经太行山与华北平原两大地貌单元的过渡地带,较太行山内部其他水系对新构造运动的响应更为敏感,能较好地记录区域地壳抬升历史。以武家湾河下游平甸河为研究重点,通过野外河流阶地级序及沉积特征的调查并结合光释光（OSL）测年结果,厘定了平甸河4级河流阶地,T4、T3、T2及T1阶地河拔高度分别为61～96 m、35～54 m、19～43 m、3～5 m,分别形成于974 kaBP、739 kaBP、483 kaBP、23 kaBP,根据对阶地成因的探讨,认为T4、T3、T2阶地为构造阶地,T1阶地为气候阶地,阶地资料揭示晚更新世（Qp3）太行山南缘经历3次间歇性构造抬升后至少隆升了90 m: 第一次抬升26～42 m、抬升速率111～179 mm/a,第二次抬升11～27 m、抬升速率043～105 mm/a,第三次抬升16～39 m、抬升速率035～085 mm/a。本研究为河流阶地对新构造运动的响应研究提供了实际材料,对晚更新世太行山的形成及演化研究具有较重要的参考价值。     

渭河下游咸阳-草滩段河谷沉积对构造活动的响应

渭河下游咸阳-草滩段河道位于西安凹陷向临潼隆起的过渡区,发育河漫滩和T₁～T₃阶地,渭河断裂隐伏于河道北岸。文章对渭河北岸河谷地貌和地层剖面进行了观测和年代学样品的测试,并对跨渭河断裂的系列钻探中的2个深150m的钻孔岩芯进行了年代学样品测试和地层对比。河谷区地层年代测定表明,渭河北岸在距今约10万年前为风成黄土堆积环境,大致在2.5万年以来开始了最新一期的河道沉积。钻孔岩芯揭露的多个黄土-河流冲积的沉积旋回显示第四纪时期渭河河道经历了多次的南北向摆动。受临潼隆起的影响,咸阳-草滩段晚第四纪河谷沉积自西向东厚度明显减薄。通过对渭河断裂两侧钻孔柱状图的对比,认为渭河断裂0.04～0.05m/ka垂向差异运动速率低于河流0.15～0.24m/ka沉积速率,是渭河断裂隐伏于河谷中的原因。     

Landforms along transverse faults parallel to axial zone of folded mountain front,north-eastern Kumaun Sub-Himalaya,India

The shape of the frontal part of the Himalaya around the north-eastern corner of the Kumaun Sub-Himalaya, along the Kali River valley, is defined by folded hanging wall rocks of the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT). Two parallel faults (Kalaunia and Tanakpur faults) trace along the axial zone of the folded HFT. Between these faults, the hinge zone of this transverse fold is relatively straight and along these faults, the beds abruptly change their attitudes and their widths are tectonically attenuated across two hinge lines of fold. The area is constituted of various surfaces of coalescing fans and terraces. Fans comprise predominantly of sandstone clasts laid down by the steep-gradient streams originating from the Siwalik range. The alluvial fans are characterised by compound and superimposed fans with high relief, which are generated by the tectonic activities associated with the thrusting along the HFT. The truncated fan along the HFT has formed a 100 m high-escarpment running E–W for ～5 km. Quaternary terrace deposits suggest two phases of tectonic uplift in the basal part of the hanging wall block of the HFT dipping towards the north. The first phase is represented by tilting of the terrace sediments by ～30 ^° towards the NW; while the second phase is evident from deformed structures in the terrace deposit comprising mainly of reverse faults, fault propagation folds, convolute laminations, flower structures and back thrust faults. The second phase produced ～1.0 m offset of stratification of the terrace along a thrust fault. Tectonic escarpments are recognised across the splay thrust near south of the HFT trace. The south facing hill slopes exhibit numerous landslides along active channels incising the hanging wall rocks of the HFT. The study area shows weak seismicity. The major Moradabad Fault crosses near the study area. This transverse fault may have suppressed the seismicity in the Tanakpur area, and the movement along the Moradabad and Kasganj–Tanakpur faults cause the neotectonic activities as observed. The role of transverse fault tectonics in the formation of the curvature cannot be ruled out.
