红河断裂带莺歌海段地质构造特征

红河入海后的地质构造特征研究是当前红河断裂带研究的薄弱环节.结合莺歌海地区重力和地震资料解释与前人研究成果,系统总结了红河断裂带莺歌海盆地内的几何学、运动学特征,并根据莺歌海盆地沉积中心迁移规律获得了红河断裂带的年代学数据.研究认为:红河断裂带在入海口附近分叉,其中Tien Lang断层折向NE,呈马尾状展布;在莺歌海盆地内红河断裂带分支为A(Ⅰ号断层)、B、C和D(莺西断层)4条断层,其中A断层是最主要的一条分支断层.莺歌海盆地内的分支断层均呈近NW-SE走向,延伸420～500km,其地震解释剖面上发育的典型花状构造和马尾状Tien Lang断层共同指示该断层具有走滑运动性质;红河断裂带对莺歌海盆地的沉积具有明显的控制作用,盆地沉积中心变化规律揭示红河断裂带在30～15.5Ma期间具有左行走滑运动性质,15.5～5.5Ma期间为左行向右行转换阶段,发生了强烈的构造反转作用,5.5Ma以来具有右行走滑运动特征.     

澜沧江断裂带走滑变形及临沧锗矿的关系

建立在对断裂带的变形特征、运动学特征和变形岩石年代学的综合研究表明，澜沧江断裂带是一条左旋走滑断裂带，左旋走滑始于20Ma。印支地块由南北向北运动和保山地块的向南挤出，主要是通过红河断裂、怒江断裂的右旋走滑和澜沧江断裂的左旋走滑共同调节来实现的。澜沧江断裂带的左旋走滑制约了临沧帮卖盆地的形成演化、盆地内的热水活动、锗的富集成矿和锗矿床的空间分布。     

郯庐断裂带北段构造特征及构造演化序列

根据大量野外地质调查和盆地地震资料分析,认为郯庐断裂北段在中-新生代发生多期不同性质的活动,形成各具特色的构造变形现象。密山县知一镇敦密断裂韧性剪切带具有左旋走滑特征,其中黑云母~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar-~(39)Ar/~(36)Ar等时线年龄为161±3Ma,是郯庐断裂带被利用发生第二期左旋走滑运动并向北扩展到中国东北-俄罗斯远东地区的产物。四平市叶赫乡佳伊断裂带中负花状断裂形成于早白垩世早中期,是郯庐断裂北段在早白垩世遭受左旋走滑-拉张作用的典型代表。四平市石岭镇佳伊断裂大型走滑-逆冲断褶带、桦甸县敦密断裂"逆地堑"、沈阳-哈尔滨逆冲断裂形成于晚白垩世嫩江运动-晚白垩世末期,这一时期脆性右旋走滑-逆冲事件规模大,影响范围广,导致整个郯庐断裂北段遭受到强烈改造。佳伊断裂带和敦密断裂带中古近纪盆地在横剖面上呈不对称地堑,并且不对称地堑沿断裂带走向发生断、超方向左右变位,是郯庐断裂带北段在古近纪时受右旋走滑、伸展双重机制控制的产物。根据郯庐断裂带北段中-新生代不同地质时期变形特征,建立了郯庐断裂北段构造演化序列。即郯庐断裂北段构造演化分为左旋韧性剪切(J_2末期)、左旋张扭(K_1早中期)、右旋压扭(K_2晚期-末期)、右旋走滑断陷(E)和构造反转(E_3末期)五个阶段。其演化历史主要受控于环太平洋构造域的构造作用。     

莺歌海盆地晚第三纪构造特征的三维泥料模拟实验及其动力学意义

莺歌海盆地是发育在古红河断裂带之上的新生代盆地，晚第三纪的构造运动触发了盆地中热流体自超压封存箱向外大规模突破，使热流体及泥质的活动具有规律性成群成带的特征。本次实验基于相似理论，在对盆地的演化史及区域构造应力场充分分析的基础上，进行了晚第三纪盆地构造应力场的三维泥料模拟，证实了红河断裂右旋走滑派生的拉分效应控制了莺歌海盆地晚第三纪的构造活动，而晚第三纪的构造活动又是雁列式断裂展布及底辟体分布的主导因素。     

青藏高原大型走滑断裂带晚新生代构造地貌生长及水系响应

大型走滑断裂带对调节印度板块和亚洲板块碰撞后产生的陆内构造变形和地貌生长起着非常重要作用。本文分析了沿青藏高原北缘主要大型左旋走滑断裂带：东昆仑、康西瓦和鲜水河-小江断裂带发育的错断地质体、大型错断水系或水系拐弯等新构造地貌特征,表明这些大型走滑断裂带在晚新生代以来发生了大规模的左旋走滑运动：前新生代地质体错位距离为80～120 km,大型水系累积的位移量可达80～90 km。根据这些走滑断裂带的长期走滑速率为8～12 mm/a,估算上述大型走滑断裂带的左旋走滑运动开始于中新世晚期：东昆仑和康西瓦断裂带左旋走滑运动开始于10±2 Ma; 鲜水河-小江断裂带甘孜-玉树段的左旋走滑运动的开始时间约为8～115 Ma。同样,如果大型水系的沿断裂带出现的大型错位或拐弯能够代表断裂带累积错位的上限,表明发源于青藏高原的黄河、金沙江、喀拉喀什河和玉龙喀什河等一级水系上游大致开始形成于9～7 Ma±。西昆仑山前盆地中河流相沉积的最早响应时间为8～6 Ma,与喀拉喀什河和玉龙喀什河等西昆仑山地区一级水系的形成时间基本一致,表明这些大型水系初始形成时间与左旋走滑构造运动的开始时间准同时。这表明中新世中晚期青藏高原构造演化发生了重要转变。     

中建南盆地后扩张期T5和T3不整合面的发育特征及对南海科学钻探的意义

中建南盆地是位于南海西部陆缘的一个走滑拉张型盆地，具有南海北部张裂和西部走滑的双重构造特征，盆地发育新生界多个区域不整合面，对于研究盆地的沉积- 构造演化史、油气资源以及南海的形成过程都具有重要意义。本文通过收集越南钻井约束，对广州海洋地质调查局的深反射地震剖面进行了重新解译，标定南海扩张结束后(中中新世以来)T5和T3两个区域不整合面的地质属性，结合区域构造运动分析，认为：T5不整合面形成于南海海底扩张停止时期的碰撞不整合面，对应于红河- 南海西缘断裂带从左旋运动到右旋运动的过渡期，时代为15 Ma，地震剖面揭示该界面总体的构造活动不强烈，推测沙巴造山运动在中建南盆地的响应已大幅减弱。T3不整合面对应于区域性重要板块重组事件和全球海平面快速下降的构造转换面，与红河- 南海西缘断裂带右旋走滑密切相关，时代为116 Ma，地震剖面显示该界面具有明显的剥蚀削截特征，同时是南海西部大规模碳酸盐岩、水道和扇体开始发育的重要时期，推测为南沙运动或万安运动在盆地内强烈作用的结果。研究表明，南海后扩张期表现出强烈构造活动及沉积响应的差异，通过未来大洋钻探，可明确南海西部T5、T3两个区域不整合面的空间变化特征和区域动力学环境，为认识南海西缘断裂带对西部沉积盆地群成因机制以及油气分布的控制作用提供依据。     

中国东部及邻区早白垩世裂陷盆地构造演化阶段

早白垩世是中国东部及邻区强烈的伸展裂陷和岩石圈减薄时期。根据裂陷盆地几何形态特征和展布型式 ,将早白垩世裂陷盆地分为泛裂陷型 (燕山—松辽断陷盆地群、蒙古断陷盆地群等 )、狭窄型 (沂沭裂谷系、伊兰—伊通裂谷带 )和菱形状型 (胶莱盆地、三江盆地、鸡西盆地等 ) 3种类型。通过综合分析和对比不同类型裂陷盆地沉积序列和构造演化历史 ,结合郯庐断裂带和秦岭—大别造山带白垩纪构造演化历史的研究成果 ,区分了中国东部早白垩世 2个显著不同的引张裂陷阶段和一个构造挤压反转阶段。早白垩世早期引张裂陷阶段 ( 1 4 0～ 1 2 0Ma)形成了宽广展布的燕山—松辽断陷盆地系和蒙古断陷盆地系 ,沿郯庐断裂带发生右旋走滑活动 ,控制了断裂带西侧南华北伸展走滑盆地和东侧胶莱、三江等和沿敦—密断裂带走滑拉分盆地的发育 ;早白垩世中期引张裂陷阶段 ( 1 2 0～ 1 0 0Ma) ,沿郯庐断裂带中、北段发生裂谷作用 ,形成沂沭裂谷系和伊兰—伊通裂谷带 ;早白垩世晚期 ( 1 0 0～ 90Ma)在区域NW SE向挤压应力场作用下 ,所有早白垩世裂陷盆地发生不同程度的构造反转 ,沿郯庐断裂发生强烈的左旋走滑运动。最后指出 ,太平洋古板块向东亚大陆边缘俯冲诱发的大陆岩石圈底侵作用、拆沉作用、地幔底辟和对流 ,以及来自西部块体     

弥散性走滑条件下底辟构造特征研究:以莺歌海盆地为例

实验以莺歌海底辟构造为典型实例设计3组砂箱物理模型,探讨弧形弥散性基底走滑与上覆同构造沉积对底辟构造样式及演化过程的影响。砂箱物理模拟表明:物质变形主要集中在弥散性剪切带内、且断裂特征与底辟带形成演化具有一定耦合性。底辟带断裂欠发育、以塑性应变为主,仅在底辟翼部和顶部分别形成小型逆冲断层和放射状裂隙;但底辟带外缘普遍发育高角度弥散性走滑断裂体系。沿弧形走滑剪切方向,底辟物质斜向生长由倾向外弧逐渐转变为倾向内弧,导致其平面上为非对称结构形态。同构造沉积地层与底辟相互作用控制了底辟生长结构及上覆地层的变形,底辟通过逐渐减小刺穿以响应上覆沉积载荷的增加。基于比例模型模拟结果与莺歌海盆地典型底辟带构造特征具有一定相似性,揭示出莺歌海盆地底辟构造及分布特征受红河断裂带弥散性走滑与同构造沉积过程共同控制。

青藏高原东南缘晚新生代川滇地体旋扭构造体系地壳变形特征的古地磁学分析

通过对川滇地体、思茅地体白垩纪、古近纪地层古地磁数据以及新生代地壳构造特征的分析,结合青藏高原东南缘GPS监测研究结果,揭示了新生代时期青藏高原东南缘地壳块体的旋转变形特征.根据古地磁数据模拟计算得出～5Ma以来哀牢山-红河走滑断裂带(ARF)受川滇地体挤压而发生弯曲变形的南北向偏移速率至少为～13.05mm/a,奠边俯左旋走滑断裂带(DBPF)西侧思茅地体内部自～5Ma以来至少存在～2.08mm/a的东西向伸展分量,而DBPF 5Ma以来的南北向平均左旋走滑速度则至少为～1.66mm/a,与现今GPS监测结果基本一致.证明鲜水河-小江左旋走滑断裂带(XXF)的左旋走滑运动虽然没有切断ARF,但是川滇地体的南向顺时针旋转挤压作用导致了断裂带的南向弯曲变形,从而吸收了部分左旋走滑速率,造成左旋走滑运动在跨过ARF传递到DBPF后走滑速率发生了突变,由～10mm/a减小于2～3mm/a.缅泰地块和思茅地体在经历了渐新世-中新世时期以高黎贡山-实楷右旋走滑断裂带和ARF为边界的东南侧向顺时针旋转挤出运动之后,自5Ma开始,至少思茅地体与川滇地体一起,以XXF和DBPF为旋转边界发生了以东喜马拉雅构造节为近似中心的旋转挤出运动.     

Experimental evidence for the dynamics of the formation of the Yinggehai basin, NW South China Sea

The Yinggehai basin is located on the northwestern shelf of the South China Sea. It is the seaward elongation of the Red River Fault Zone (RRFZ). The orientation and rift shape of the Yinggehai basin are mainly controlled by NW-, NNW- and nearly NS-trending basal faults. The depocenter migrated southeastward when the basin developed. The depocenter trended northwest before about 36 Ma, then jumped southward and became nearly N–S trending and migrated toward the southeast up to 21 Ma; thereafter, the depocenter trended northwest again. Based on above and structural evolution in neighbor areas, it is believed that the Yinggehai basin formation was mainly controlled by the extrusion accompanied by clockwise rotation of Indochina. We set up analogue models (thin basal plate model and thick basal plate model) to investigate the evolution of Yinggehai basin. From the experiments, we consider that the basin evolution was related to the extrusion and clockwise rotation of the Indochina block, which was caused by the collision of the Indian plate and Tibet. This process took place in four main stages: (1) Slow rifting stage (before 36 Ma) with a NW-trending depocenter; (2) rifting stage formed by sinistral slip of the Indochina block accompanied by rapid clockwise rotation between 36 and 21 Ma; (3) rifting-thermal subsidence stage affected by sinistral slip of the Indochina (21–5 Ma) block and (4) dextral strike–slip (5–0 Ma).     

莺歌海盆地构造演化与强烈沉降机制的分析和模拟

莺歌海盆地新生代发生了快速沉降, 盆内充填了最厚达17 km的沉积, 根据模拟实验, 印支地块或之上刚性地块的存在对莺歌海盆地的强烈沉降具有重要的贡献, 可能是造成莺歌海盆地裂陷期强烈沉降的重要原因之一.结合地质分析和物理模拟实验, 莺歌海盆地的演化大致可以分为以下4个主要阶段: 早期(42 Ma以前) 主要受到南海北部陆缘(主要是北部湾盆地) 裂解造成的右旋转换伸展作用的影响, 但影响范围较小, 主要为莺歌海盆地西北部和东部边界.42~21 Ma期间, 主要受控于印支地块左行走滑和顺时针旋转作用的影响, 莺歌海盆地在此期间发育了主体裂陷体系, 东侧受到右旋转换伸展应力场的叠加影响而导致沉降加强; 21~10.4 Ma期间, 受印支地块逐渐减弱直至停止的左行走滑作用的影响, 盆地西北部在21~15.5 Ma期间发生局部反转褶皱, 但盆地整体进入以热沉降为主的时期; 10.4 Ma以后, 盆地受华南地块沿红河断裂右旋走滑作用和5 Ma以后新一期热事件的影响.      

红河断裂带两侧地震震源机制及构造意义

红河断裂带是一条大型的走滑断裂带。根据印支半岛前新生代的古地块与华南地块的接触关系 ,将红河断裂带海陆部分分为两段。断裂带自第三纪以来 ,经历了左旋运动、右旋运动 ,南北两段的活动性有一定的差异。根据断裂带两侧地震和震源机制解分析 ,震源深度 0～ 33km的地震在整个区域密集分布 ,较深的地震分布在断裂的北东侧。断裂带西北部断裂活动方式为逆冲型 ,北部为正断型 ,南部为走滑型 ,其它地方为奇异型 ,也即是逆冲型、正断型、走滑型 3种方式的过渡类型 ,反映了红河断裂带及其周围地区受到来自北北西向的推挤力和北东东向的正压力的联合作用 ,使受力区的断裂发生挤压逆冲、水平走滑和拉张正断运动。     

琼东南盆地新生代发育机制的模拟研究

琼东南盆地是南海西北陆缘上一个北东走向的伸展裂陷带,向西与北西走向的莺歌海盆地相接,因此其构造演化包含了较多红河断裂走滑活动的信息。综合地质分析与物理模拟实验,我们发现琼东南盆地的发育既受控于南海北部陆缘的南东向—南南东向伸展作用,而且受到红河断裂左行走滑作用的控制和影响。其中,中央坳陷带主要受控于南东至南南东向的伸展作用;南部坳陷带的发育主要受控于琼东南盆地的伸展及其沿北北西向边界断裂右行走滑作用的构造叠加;而北部坳陷带的发育主要受控于北西向断裂左行走滑作用。红河断裂左行走滑作用可能开始于晚始新世,晚于琼东南盆地的伸展裂陷作用,且早期走滑速率应小于琼东南盆地的伸展速率,早渐新世(T70)以后红河断裂左行走滑速率大于琼东南盆地伸展速率,导致琼盆西段的褶皱反转,以及一组北西—北北西走向张剪断裂的发育。     

Neotectonics of Turkey – a synthesis

Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history of devastating earthquakes. The better understanding of its neotectonic features and active tectonics would provide insight, not only for the country but also for the entire Eastern Mediterranean region. Active tectonics of Turkey is the manifestation of collisional intracontinental convergence- and tectonic escape-related deformation since the Early Pliocene (∼5 Ma). Three major structures govern the neotectonics of Turkey; they are dextral North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), sinistral East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the Aegean–Cyprean Arc. Also, sinistral Dead Sea Fault Zone has an important role. The Anatolian wedge between the NAFZ and EAFZ moves westward away from the eastern Anatolia, the collision zone between the Arabian and the Eurasian plates. Ongoing deformation along, and mutual interaction among them has resulted in four distinct neotectonic provinces, namely the East Anatolian contractional, the North Anatolian, the Central Anatolian ‘Ova’ and the West Anatolian extensional provinces. Each province is characterized by its unique structural elements, and forms an excellent laboratory to study active strike-slip, normal and reverse faulting and the associated basin formation.     

The Red River sediment budget in the Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins,northwestern South China Sea,and its tectonic implications

ABSTRACT

The rapid uplift of the Tibetan plateau, the intense movement of the Ailao Shan-Red River Shear Zone (ARSZ), and the related climate change during the Cenozoic Indo-Asian collision have been widely studied; however, their timings varied considerably due to different data and methods used. As these events have been documented in the Red River sediment that came from the eastern Tibetan plateau and the Red River region and eventually deposited in the offshore Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins, here these events can be explored by calculating and analysing the Red River sediment budget, especially in the Qiongdongnan basin based on dense seismic profiles and wells. Results show that the Red River sediment mainly accumulated in the Yinggehai basin and the west part of the Qiongdongnan basin, and there are three sedimentary accumulation peaks in the Red River sediment budget during ~29.5–21, ~15.5–10.5, and ~5.5–0 Ma. By further comparing with previous studies on the timings of these events, it is inferred that the first sedimentary peak, prior to the onset of the monsoon intensification (~22 Ma), was probably driven by an intense left-lateral movement of the ARSZ in ~29.5–21 Ma. The second peak (~15.5–10.5 Ma), however, reflects a rapid uplift of the Tibetan plateau after the cessation of the left-lateral strike slip of the ARSZ. The third peak (~5.5–0 Ma) is most likely linked with a right-lateral movement of the ARSZ and the related climate change. Overall, the Red River sediment budget from the offshore Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins provides an important constraint on the timings of these tectonic events as well as the related climate change during the Cenozoic Indo-Asian collision.     

Neotectonics of Turkey – a synthesis

Abstract

Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active tectonics would provide insight, not only for the country but also for the entire Eastern Mediterranean region. Active tectonics of Turkey is the manifestation of collisional intracontinental convergence- and tectonic escape-related deformation since the Early Pliocene (~5 Ma). Three major structures govern the neotectonics of Turkey; they are dextral North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), sinistral East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the Aegean–Cyprean Arc. Also, sinistral Dead Sea Fault Zone has an important role. The Anatolian wedge between the NAFZ and EAFZ moves westward away from the eastern Anatolia, the collision zone between the Arabian and the Eurasian plates. Ongoing deformation along, and mutual interaction among them has resulted in four distinct neotectonic provinces, namely the East Anatolian contractional, the North Anatolian, the Central Anatolian ‘Ova’ and the West Anatolian extensional provinces. Each province is characterized by its unique structural elements, and forms an excellent laboratory to study active strike-slip, normal and reverse faulting and the associated basin formation. © 2001 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS     

EARTHQUAKE FOCAL MECHANISM AND ITS TECTONIC SIGNIFICANCE ALONG THE TWO SIDES OF THE RED RIVER FAULT ZONE

The Red River Fault Zone is a gigantic slide-slip fault zone extending up to 1000km from Tibet to South China Sea. It has been divided into the north, central and south segments according to the difference of the geometry, kinetics, and seismicity on the land, but according to the contacted relationship between the old pre-Cenozoic block in Indochina Peninsula and the South China block, the Red River Fault Zone was divided into two parts extending from land to ocean, the north and south segments. Since the Tertiary, the Red River Fault Zone suffered first the sinistral movement and then the dextral movement. The activities of the north and the south segments were different. Based on the analysis of earthquakes and focal mechanism solutions, earthquakes with the focus depths of 0-33km are distributed over the whole region and more deep earthquakes are distributed on the northeastern sides of the Red River fault. Types of faulting activities are the thrust in the northwest, the normal in the north and the     

The tectonic evolution of the Qiongdongnan Basin in the northern margin of the South China Sea

Qiongdongnan Basin is a Cenozoic rift basin located on the northern passive continental margin of the South China Sea. Due to a lack of geologic observations, its evolution was not clear in the past. However, recently acquired 2-D seismic reflection data provide an opportunity to investigate its tectonic evolution. It shows that the Qiongdongnan Basin comprises a main rift zone which is 50–100 km wide and more than 400 km long. The main rift zone is arcuate in map view and its orientation changes from ENE–WSW in the west to nearly E–W in the east. It can be divided into three major segments. The generally linear fault trace shown by many border faults in map view implies that the eastern and middle segments were controlled by faults reactivated from NE to ENE trending and nearly E–W trending pre-existing fabrics, respectively. The western segment was controlled by a left-lateral strike-slip fault. The fault patterns shown by the central and eastern segments indicate that the extension direction for the opening of the rift basin was dominantly NW–SE. A semi-quantitative analysis of the fault cut-offs identifies three stages of rifting evolution: (1) 40.4–33.9 Ma, sparsely distributed NE-trending faults formed mainly in the western and the central part of the study area; (2) 33.9–28.4 Ma, the main rift zone formed and the area influenced by faulting was extended into the eastern part of the study area and (3) 28.4–20.4 Ma, the subsidence area was further enlarged but mainly extended into the flanking area of the main rift zone. In addition, Estimates of extensional strain along NW–SE-trending seismic profiles, which cross the main rift zone, vary between 15 and 39 km, which are generally comparable to the sinistral displacement on the Red River Fault Zone offshore, implying that this fault zone, in terms of sinistral motion, terminated at a location near the southern end of the Yinggehai Basin. Finally, these observations let us to favour a hybrid model for the opening of the South China Sea and probably the Qiongdongnan Basin.
