天山北缘河流阶地形成及构造变形定量分析

新生代以来,北天山山前发育了3排冲断褶皱带。新生代晚期一系列河流普遍穿过这3排冲断褶皱带并发育了三级河流阶地。在最新构造活动的影响下,河流阶地普遍发生变形,遭受抬升。利用光释光及14C年代学方法确定了塔西河三级阶地的形成年龄,并实际测量了三级阶地的高程。结果表明吐谷鲁背斜的构造抬升速率在32．85-28．75 ka问为9．50-12．57 mm／a,12-13 ka间为9．67-14．5 mm／a,全新世则增至10．79-23．44mm／a,天山基底的平均隆升速率达到3．39-3．86mm／a。通过对天山最高一级夷平面、野外实测侏罗纪地层高程及天山发育的煤层的相对隆升速率的研究则表明天山自24 Ma以来平均的隆升速率约为0．085-0．146 mm／a。结合对北天山其他主要河流阶地的观察及研究可以看出自晚更新世一全新世以来,天山北缘的最新构造活动具有不断加快的特征。     

河流阶地演化与构造抬升速率——以天山北麓晚第四纪河流作用为例

构造地貌学重点关注构造和地表过程对于地形地貌演化的差异化作用,构造活动速率则是评估这种影响的一个重要指标。利用河流阶地数据计算河流下切速率从而约束构造抬升速率是常用的方法,但由于阶地成因复杂,这一方法具有不确定性。对于山前河流地貌序列,基于背斜段与未变形段的阶地拔河高度差以及阶地面形成年龄,计算得到的河流下切速率可在一定程度上消除气候等因素的影响,因此可用于估算背斜自阶地形成以来的平均抬升速率。基于该方法,本文通过研究天山北麓乌鲁木齐河、塔西河、玛纳斯河、金钩河、安集海河及奎屯河等河流在背斜段发育的主要阶地,分析了背斜抬升速率及其时空特征。天山北麓发育3排逆断裂一背斜带,结果表明位于第Ⅱ排逆断裂一背斜带的吐谷鲁背斜自约13ka以来的抬升速率为3.52mm/a,同时期霍尔果斯背斜构造抬升速率为4.8mm/a,玛纳斯背斜东端的抬升速率相对较小,为2ram/a;第Ⅲ排构造带中的独山子背斜全新世抬升速率仅为1.2~1.9mm/a。这可能表明,自山前向盆地方向晚第四纪背斜抬升速率大致呈减小趋势,与背斜地壳缩短量的空间分布规律基本一致。更多的阶地年龄数据有助于更好地揭示天山北麓晚第四纪背斜构造活动特征。     

新疆南天山科克苏河地区构造变形特征

本文通过对南天山科克苏河地区构造变形特征的研究，总结出会聚板块边界造山运动过程中构造变形的演化规律为：造山运动早期，板块俯冲作用促成俯冲杂岩发生蓝片岩相变质作用的同时，发育深层次韧性挤压变形构造；俯冲作用停止后，蓝片岩抬升、拆返过程中遭受韧性挤压变形叠加；造山运动晚期，则发育大规模韧性逆冲构造和韧性平滑走滑构造；造山运动末期，发育浅层次韧脆性开阔褶皱、区域性同斜倒转褶皱及逆冲断层。     

南天山区域大地构造与演化

塔里木和中天山之间的南天山造山带,经历了复杂的构造演化与地壳增生过程。综合分析南天山造山带的构造、地层、古生物、岩石、地球化学和同位素年代学等方面的资料,特别是放射虫、蛇绿岩、蓝片岩等方面的最新研究成果,讨论了南天山的区域构造格局和演化过程。南天山主体为一上百公里宽的增生-碰撞混杂带-南天山(蛇绿)混杂带;其北侧为中天山岛弧,是仰冲壳楔;南侧为塔里木陆块,是俯冲壳楔。古南天山洋为一广阔的大洋,南天山碰撞造山作用起始于二叠纪末-三叠纪初,新近纪-第四纪进入陆内造山作用阶段。     

西南天山高压-超高压变质岩的原岩判别

西天山高压-超高压变质带沿中天山南缘缝合带近东西向展布约200 km,南北最宽达30 km,构成一增生楔[1,2]。在对该高压-超高压变质带进行研究,不断发现新的榴辉岩体和蓝片岩体[3]。超高压变质岩原岩的构造环境判别,对于经历深俯冲折返的变质岩具有重要限制意义。通过对西南天山榴辉岩、蓝片岩样品进行岩石学、主微量元素检测和构造投图分析。研究表明榴辉岩和蓝片岩有着不同的原岩性质:榴辉岩原岩为E-MORB和N-MORB两类,而蓝片岩原岩介于E-MORB与OIB。西南天山的高压-超高压岩石形成于近岛弧的海洋环境中。     

青藏高原北缘昆仑山中段构造隆升的磷灰石裂变径迹记录

3组磷灰石裂变径迹年龄分别反映出阿尔金地块白垩纪末(69.5±2.9)Ma、昆仑山前山地带和昆仑山后山地带(高原区北缘)上新世晚期(4.2±0.8)Ma和(3.9±0.6)Ma、早更新世中期(1 66±0.31)Ma等3次构造抬升事件.根据磷灰石裂变径迹分析样品的古埋深及据前人有关资料推测的古地表高程,换算出样品的古海拔高程,再由高程差得出绝对构造抬升量,绝对抬升速率为绝对抬升量与时间(裂变径迹年龄)差之比.计算结果阿尔金山北缘69Ma以来总共抬升了 4 940m,平均抬升速率为0.072mm/a.昆仑山前山地带4.15Ma至1.66Ma间总共抬升了1 380m,平均抬升速率为0.55mm/a;1.66Ma以来总共抬升了4140m,平均抬升速率为2.49mm/a.昆仑山后山地带3.85Ma至1.66Ma间总共抬升量约为1 500m,平均抬升速率为0.70mm/a;1 66Ma以来总共抬升量约为5140m,平均抬升速率为3.19mm/a.结合有关阶地特征及年龄,推算出21 ka左右的晚更新世末以来昆仑山后山的抬升速率可能达11mm/a.昆仑山后山地带较前山地带4Ma以来相对抬升了1120m,二者的平均隆升速率比约为1.2.     

中国南天山造山带蓝片岩及其构造意义

中国西北部地区发育多条蓝片岩带。其中南天山蓝片岩带东西延伸1000余公里，西部可能与哈萨克斯坦的阿特巴什带（Atabashi）和万利苏（Maylisu）相连，东部可能与我们发现的南天山中部库米什蓝片岩相连。它是古亚洲域最长、最重要的一条高P/T变质带。本文在较系统地对南天山高P/T变质矿物组合、探针分析、同位素测年等数据资料分析研究基础上，认为该带主要为蓝闪石片岩-绿片岩的过渡相。该带与其北侧的高P/T变质岩-混合岩化花岗岩质岩石以及中酸性侵入岩等构成古又变质带。从PTtD轨迹中可以判别439Ma为南天山     

西天山特克斯一带双变质带特征

特克斯一带双变质带是西天山双变质带重要组成部分。对特克斯一带双变质带特征的详细观察和讨论,可能对整个西天山双变质带深入研究起到解剖麻雀的作用。低压相系变质岩是以堇青石片岩类为代表;高压相系变质岩是以蓝闪石片岩类为代表。在后继的收缩体制下,由于陆-陆碰撞作用,使能干性不同的层状变质岩叠置到一起,经过强烈纵向构造置换作用,使能干性较强的蓝闪石片岩类(包括大理岩)变成透镜状、似层状岩石,嵌在数量较多、能干性较弱的堇青片岩类里,构成双变质带混杂体。变质作用的时间约为晚志留世末。堇青石片岩类为低压相系角闪岩相岛弧型变质作用;蓝闪石片岩类属于高压相系低绿片岩相俯冲带型变质作用。     

晚新生代天山北缘构造变形定量研究

晚新生代以来,由于印藏板块陆—陆碰撞,天山山脉重新活动并隆升剥蚀。确定天山隆升变形时间和规模对研究大陆岩石圈变形以及构造活动、气候和剥蚀关系具有重要意义。本文通过生长地层和磁性地层研究,结合天山北缘地震剖面的构造解析,确定了天山北缘三排平行于天山山脉的褶皱带形成时间,并对三排褶皱带的变形量进行平衡恢复,其中三排褶皱中第一排的构造缩短量约为2.9 km(缩短率为15.1％),构造形成时间约为6 Ma,其缩短速率为0.4 mm/a;第二排构造缩短量约为5.9km(缩短率为23.7％),构造形成时间约为2 Ma,缩短速率为2.9mm/a;第三排构造缩短量约为4.3 km(缩短率为15.7％),构造形成时间约为1Ma,缩短速率为4.3mm/a;结果表明晚新生代以来天山构造活动强度可能在加大。     

大洋洲查亚峰的形成与演化

位于大洋洲新几内亚岛的查亚峰的形成与中新世以来澳大利亚大陆北部被动边缘俯冲碰撞到Melanesian岛弧之下有关.2.8 Ma以来, 查亚峰岩石隆升幅度为7 000 m, 隆升速率为2.5 mm/a, 其剥蚀速率为0.7 mm/a.据查亚峰南坡石炭—二叠系测年得出, 自2.3 Ma以来, 岩石隆升幅度为6 500 m, 隆升速度为2.88 mm/a, 剥蚀速率为1.7 mm/a; 更南可能为前寒武纪的绿片岩分布区, 剥蚀速率更快, 已剥蚀深度达9 km, 是全岛剥露最深的地区.正是这种强烈的切割和剥蚀, 在均衡抬升作用强烈影响下使查亚峰成为大洋洲最高峰.

造山带隆起剥蚀过程与沉积记录

大别山造山带是中生代碰撞造山作用的产物,其隆起过程中形成了合肥盆地。本文对合肥盆地侏罗系碎屑岩进行了成分分析,发现砾岩中有两类榴辉岩,一类为高压变质榴辉岩,另一类为超高压变质榴辉岩。对砂岩中碎屑白云母的成分分析表明,指示高压变质作用的多硅白云母在较低层位已大量出现。重建的碎屑物注入顺序为:非超高压变质岩—高压变质岩—超高压变质岩。结合变质岩石学研究和地球物理观测资料重建的大别山造山带内部结构,可进一步重建大别山的剥蚀历史:大别山造山带最先(三尖铺组沉积初期)受到剥蚀的是非超高压变质的片岩、片麻岩及大理岩,高压变质岩折返到地表受到剥蚀不晚于中侏罗世初期(三尖铺组沉积早期),而超高压变质岩折返到地表经受剥蚀的时间稍早于中侏罗世中期(凤凰台组沉积初期)。天山是典型的陆内造山带,其隆起是新生代以来印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞的一种远程效应。本文对天山发育的花岗岩磷灰石裂变径迹分析,并对南侧的塔里木盆地北部古近系及新近系沉积岩进行了碎屑岩物源分析,在新的磁性地层学格架中讨论了天山的隆起剥蚀历史。砾石组分的突然变化发生在75~35 Ma,26~17 Ma和12~8 Ma间,从中天山物源区逐渐变为南天山物源区,12 Ma后变为以南天山为主要物源区。砂岩及重矿物组分变化表明,物源在124 Ma、26(~24)Ma及15(~12)Ma时发生过变化。磷灰石裂变径迹则进一步揭示了天山的3阶段差异性隆起历史:天山的早期隆起发生在124~80 Ma间,从中天山和南天山的交界处开始并向南扩展;第二次隆起发生在大约100~60 Ma间,从中天山开始向南扩展;第三次隆起从大约50 Ma开始,并向北南两侧扩展,至大约30 Ma时扩展到北天山,约20 Ma时扩展至南天山;其后,南天山在15(~12)Ma时发生了独立的隆起事件。本文的两个研究实例表明,盆地的充填符合计算机数据结构的堆栈过程,但造山带的隆起剥蚀却会出现明显的差异性。不能简单地说造山带的剥蚀和盆地的充填具镜像对称关系,这有可能导致错误的认识,一定要具体事例具体分析。     

西天山高压变质岩的形成环境

西天山高压变质岩呈不连续岩块、凸镜体、条带、薄层或夹层岩片产于绿片岩相围岩中。蓝片岩和榴辉石的原岩有 N- MORB、E- MORB、OIB、辉长岩、基性火山碎屑岩、硬砂岩等类型。变质作用和常量、微量、稀土元素地球化学研究表明高压变质岩形成于塔里木板块和伊犁中天山板块间的早古生代南天山洋北缘的 B型俯冲带     

P–T path of high-pressure/low-temperature rocks and tectonic implications in the western Tianshan Mountains, NW China

The Chinese western Tianshan high-pressure/low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic belt, which extends for about 200 km along the South Central Tianshan suture zone, is composed of mainly metabasic blueschists, eclogites and greenschist facies rocks. The metabasic blueschists occur as small discrete blocks, lenses, bands, laminae or thick beds in meta-sedimentary greenschist facies country rocks. Eclogites are intercalated within blueschist layers as lenses, laminae, thick beds or large massive blocks (up to 2 km² in plan view). Metabasic blueschists consist of mainly garnet, sodic amphibole, phengite, paragonite, clinozoisite, epidote, chlorite, albite, accessory titanite and ilmenite. Eclogites are predominantly composed of garnet, omphacite, sodic–calcic amphibole, clinozoisite, phengite, paragonite, quartz with accessory minerals such as rutile, titanite, ilmenite, calcite and apatite. Garnet in eclogite has a composition of 53–79 mol% almandine, 8.5–30 mol% grossular, 5–24 mol% pyrope and 0.6–13 mol% spessartine. Garnet in blueschists shows similar composition. Sodic amphiboles include glaucophane, ferro-glaucophane and crossite, whereas the sodic–calcic amphiboles mainly comprise barroisite and winchite. The jadeite content of omphacite varies from 35–54 mol%. Peak eclogite facies temperatures are estimated as 480–580 °C for a pressure range of 14–21 kbar. The conditions of pre-peak, epidote–blueschist facies metamorphism are estimated to be 350–450 °C and 8–12 kbar. All rock types have experienced a clockwise P–T path through pre-peak lawsonite/epidote-blueschist to eclogite facies conditions. The retrograde part of the P–T path is represented by the transition of epidote-blueschist to greenschist facies conditions. The P–T path indicates that the high-pressure rocks formed in a B-type subduction zone along the northern margin of the Palaeozoic South Tianshan ocean between the Tarim and Yili-central Tianshan plates.     

Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism and Tectonic Evolution of Southwestern Tianshan Orogenic Belt,China: A Comprehensive Review

Recently, a huge ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt of oceanic‐type has been recognized in southwestern (SW) Tianshan, China. Petrological studies show that the UHP metamorphic rocks of SW Tianshan orogenic belt include mafic eclogites and blueschists, felsic garnet phengite schists, marbles and serpentinites. The well‐preserved coesite inclusions were commonly found in eclogites, garnet phengite schists and marbles. Ti‐clinohumite and Ti‐chondrodite have been identified in UHP metamorphic serpentinites. Based on the PT pseudosection calculation and combined U‐Pb zircon dating, the P‐T‐t path has been outlined as four stages: cold subduction to UHP conditions before ～320 Ma whose peak ultrahigh pressure is about 30 kbar at 500oC, heating decompression from the Pmax to the Tmax stage before 305 Ma whose peak temperature is about 600oC at 22kbar, then the early cold exhumation from amphibolite eclogite facies to epidote‐amphibolite facies metamorphism characterized by ITD PT path before 220 Ma and the last tectonic exhumation from epidote amphibolite facies to greenschist facies metamorphism. Combining with the syn‐subduction arc‐like 333‐326 Ma granitic rocks and 280‐260 Ma S‐type granites in the coeval low‐pressure and high‐temperature (LP‐HT) metamorphic belt, the tectonic evolution of Tianshan UHP metamorphic belt during late Cambrian to early Triassic has been proposed.     

白垩纪以来库车坳陷碎屑重矿物组成变化

碎屑沉积是山脉隆升和盆地沉积的直接记录,包括碎屑重矿物研究在内的碎屑沉积物的分析是开展盆山耦合研究的必要手段。本文对库车坳陷白垩系—新近系砂岩中重矿物含量特征进行了系统的研究,并应用电子探针技术分析碎屑石榴石和电气石的化学组成。研究表明:库车坳陷白垩-新近系源区主要由高级变质岩和沉积岩以及中-酸性火成岩组成。白垩纪和古近纪砂岩中的石榴石富钙镁铝榴石组份,与来自西南天山低温高压变质岩中石榴石组成相似,而新近系砂岩中的石榴石中富铁铝榴石组份,多来自高级变质沉积岩,而非高压变质岩。这些分析表明南天山的大规模隆升和剥蚀发生在渐新世以来,由于它的隆升遮挡了西南天山对库车坳陷的物质贡献。     

Eclogite Occurrences in the Southern Tianshan High-Pressure Belt,Xinjiang, Western China

Eclogite pods and layers of eclogites in mafic blueschists are the most prominent witnesses of eclogite facies metamorphism in the southern Tianshan high-pressure belt of Western China. The P-T evolution was deciphered in order to understand the geotectonic framework of these rocks. Geothermobarometric evaluation for matrix assemblages reveals peak metamorphic condition between 14 and 21 kbar at 500 to 600°C. Prograde growth zoning and mineral inclusions in garnet are evidence for a clockwise P-T path. The presence of intimate eclogite/metabasic blueschist interlayering and the high P-T estimates suggest that the eclogite-facies rocks from the southern Tianshan high-pressure belt formed in a tectonic regime similar to the Franciscan type. Therefore the southern Tianshan high-pressure belt is most important in order to resolve the Paleozoic tectonic evolution of central Asia.     

砂岩碎屑组份变化对库车坳陷和南天山盆山演化的指示

为研究库车坳陷中-新生代物源变化与南天山构造演化的关系,对该坳陷中-新生界砂岩进行了系统取样,应用Dickinson砂岩分析方法详细研究了其沉积背景和物源变化。库车坳陷中-新生代沉积物源始终为再造山旋回带,自老到新砂岩中不稳定岩屑组份的含量有规律地变化:从三叠系到侏罗系,岩屑组份中沉积岩岩屑含量最高;白垩系中变质岩岩屑增多;新生界特别是新近系,碳酸盐岩岩屑所占的比例很大。岩屑组份的这种变化反映了天山地区隆升和剥蚀的一个历史过程。随着山脉隆升幅度和剥蚀强度的加大,古生界变质岩和碳酸盐岩逐步接受剥蚀,并在白垩纪以后成为盆地沉积物的主要物源。根据风化指数半定量计算的结果,结合前人古气候的研究成果,早-中三叠世该区沉积物风化程度低,推测此时地形高差较大;在晚三叠世至晚侏罗世该区风化程度较高,地形起伏较低;白垩纪是一个转折期,沉积物风化程度由强转变为弱,地形高差在该期也有所增大;古近纪延续了这种趋势。新近纪以后地形高差显著加大,沉积物风化程度明显降低,说明此时南天山的隆升速率和库车坳陷的沉积速率都很快,源区与沉积区的距离很近。     

New evidence on the Neogene uplift of South Tianshan: constraints from the (U–Th)/He and AFT ages of borehole samples of the Tarim basin and implications for hydrocarbon generation

We identified a Neogene rapid uplift-denudation event of the South Tianshan based on apatite (U–Th)/He and apatite fission track (AFT) ages in Tertiary rocks of the Tarim basin, using borehole samples. The (U–Th)/He thermochronology can be used to reveal the tectono-thermal events with lower temperature than that of AFT thermochronology and has not been used previously to study the uplift of the Tianshan Mountain. Using these data, we show the relationship between the uplift of the South Tianshan and the subsidence/deposition of the northern Tarim basin during the Neogene. The apatite helium ages reveal the migration of uplift, erosion and deposition in the northern Tarim basin. A rapid uplift of the South Tianshan during the Miocene and a corresponding rapid subsidence in the northern Tarim basin occurred. However, in the Pliocene, the Kuqa Depression and South Tianshan uplifted and eroded at the same time and in turn provided the detrital source rocks for the Northern Uplift of the Tarim basin. In contrast to earlier studies, we arrive at the conclusion that the South Tianshan experienced rapid uplift in the Miocene based on (U–Th)/He data of apatite obtained from borehole samples collected in the Tarim basin itself, and not from the bordering mountain chain. Combined apatite (U–Th)/He and fission track thermochronometry enables reconstruction of thermal histories of sedimentary rocks between 40 and 120°C, and this has implications for the generation of liquid hydrocarbon in the 65–120°C range in the basin. Thermal and burial histories of typical samples were also modelled to show the rapid uplift in our study. Our works not only provide a new evidence for the South Tianshan uplift but also indicate that there is a coupling between uplift and subsidence in the South Tianshan and adjacent northern part of the Tarim basin, which controlled hydrocarbon accumulation in the Kuqa Depression and Northern Uplift of the Tarim basin.     

碎屑重矿物分析对库车坳陷白垩—第三纪物源变化的指示

碎屑沉积是山脉隆升和盆地沉积的直接记录，包括碎屑重矿物研究在内的碎屑沉积物的分析是开展盆山耦合研究的必要手段。对库车坳陷白垩系—第三系砂岩中重矿物含量特征进行了系统的研究，并应用电子探针技术分析碎屑石榴石和钛铁矿的化学组成，研究表明库车坳陷白垩—第三系源区主要由沉积岩、变质岩和酸性火山岩组成。白垩系砂岩中的石榴石来自西南天山蓝片岩和低级变质岩的比例较大，而第三系砂岩中的石榴石中富铁铝榴石组分，多来自高级变质岩。白垩系砂岩中的钛铁矿多来自变质岩，上第三系砂岩中来自火成岩的钛铁矿比例增加。由此可以认为南天山的大规模隆升和剥蚀发生在第三纪以来，由于它的隆升遮挡了南天山北缘古生代增生杂岩体对库车坳陷的物质贡献，并且随着剥蚀的加深，高级变质岩和火成岩的出露越来越多。
