羌塘盆地巴青地区上三叠统巴贡组沉积相及其对油气等资源的控制

羌塘盆地是青藏高原上最大的中生代海相沉积盆地,富含烃源岩和蒸发岩,也是中国油气勘探重要的场所之一。巴青地区的上三叠统巴贡组沉积相研究不仅能为特提斯洋的演化提供佐证,而且为羌塘盆地油气和钾盐资源勘探提供理论依据和实践指导。本文对巴青地区上三叠统巴贡组的古生物、沉积构造、岩石组合分析,结果表明:研究区主要发育障壁岛沉积体系下的潟湖相、潮坪相、三角洲相沉积相以及10种亚相。晚三叠世巴贡期,研究区是一个由北(巴青—索县)向南(班—怒缝合带)变深的伸展背景下的陆缘海沉积环境。     

青藏高原羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理研究

羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理面貌总体呈多岛海格局,自北向南可分出3个次级构造-古地理单元:北羌塘弧后前陆盆地、龙木错-双湖残留盆地、南羌塘边缘海。北羌塘前陆盆地又分出5个古地理单元:以复理石沉积为特征的藏夏河-明境湖半深海;以细碎屑岩沉积为特征的唐古拉浅海陆棚;以碳酸盐沉积为特征的菊花山台地;以含煤碎屑岩系沉积为特征的土门格拉-双湖滨岸-三角洲和以酸性火山岩-火山碎屑岩喷发为特征的那底岗日-各拉丹东火山岛弧。盆地基底显示为南浅北深的箕状格局;盆地充填物为南薄北厚的楔形沉积体;盆地具有双物源、沉降中心和沉积中心不一致等特征,表明北羌塘盆地具有前陆盆地构造-沉积特征。南羌塘边缘海自北向南可分出3个古地理单元:以基性火山岩、碳酸盐岩和砂泥质碎屑岩为特征的肖茶卡浅海;以碳酸盐岩为特征的日干配错台地;以泥页岩夹粉砂岩、泥质灰岩为特征的南羌塘南缘半深海。南羌塘盆地基底显示为南、北低,中部高的丘状格局,盆地充填物为南薄北厚的楔形沉积体;盆地物源来自北部的中央隆起和那底岗日岛弧、盆地沉降中心在北部,而沉积中心在南部等特征,表明南羌塘盆地具有边缘海构造-沉积特征。羌塘地区晚三叠世构造-古地理研究对恢复南、北羌塘原型盆地的构造属性具有重要意义。

羌塘地块东南部上三叠统巴贡组软沉积变形特征及其意义

羌塘地块东南部巴青、索县一带,在上三叠统巴贡组内发育大量未固结状态下发生的软沉积变形。其形态特征主要表现为枕状、球状、链状以及卷曲状,在平面较大范围内均有发现,纵向上密集分布,100余米长的扎德改剖面中发育有7层明显的软沉积变形构造。经过详细地变形特征描述与比对,认为这些软沉积变形主要是与地震振动相关的震积岩,部分变形清晰地显示出受伸展背景的控制。震积岩是软沉积物对古构造活动的记录,研究区内巴贡组震积岩的密集发育表明巴贡组沉积期区域构造活动强烈,对比晚三叠世早期地层中震积岩的发育状况,发现构造活动在诺利中晚期更加强烈,与羌塘地块中晚三叠世火山岩的年代呼应。

Unity of the national and the international in the socio-cultural development of the peoples of the USSR

International unity is becoming ever stronger in this country owing to an increasing similarity in the development of the cultural environment. This comprises the provision of all the country's republics with a sufficient number of schools, theatres, and other institutions and cultural information media in accordance with the needs of the population. An important part is played by the rise in ‘the general educational level, as well as the level of professional qualifications and skills. Among all the Soviet nations and nationalities, this rise being more rapid among formerly backward peoples. Prominent among the factors of internationalization is the progressive development of the nationalities’ cultural resources, while professional culture is being increasingly brought within the reach of the masses.The implementation of the nationalities policy promotes the all-round development of all Soviet nations and nationalities, their drawing together, the upsurge of the individual capabilities of every Soviet citizen.     

Report of the restudy of the defined global stratotype of the base of the Silurian System

The Global Stratotype Section and Point （GSSP） for the base of the Silurian System was defined in 1985. Since that time, a number of researchers have suggested that this section has serious deficiencies for use as a GSSP. As a result, in 2000, the Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy （SSS） proposed undertaking a formal restu@ of this GSSP, which was subsequently approved by the International Commission of Stratigraphy （ICS）. The result of this restudy was the formal proposal that the current GSSP, at 1.6 m above the base of the Birkhill Shale, at Dob＇s Linn, Scotland, should be maintained as the same locality and stratigraphic level, but the bios- tratigraphical definition of the boundary should be revised. The previously defined, basal Silurian grapto- lite zone, the Parakidograptus acuminatus Zone, should be subdivided into a lower Akidograptus ascensus Zone and a higher E acuminatus Zone. The base of the A. ascensus Zone, marked by the first appearance of A. ascensus, should be regarded as the biostratigraphic mark for the base of the Silurian. This proposal has now been formally approved by the SSS and ICS, and ratified by International Union of Geological Sciences. This is the first GSSP to undergo formal restudy and redefini- tion, and the proposal also included a recommended procedure for restudy of GSSPs.     

Deviation of the major axis of the inertia ellipsoid of the Moon from the direction toward the Earth

It is known from observations that the center of mass of the Moon does not coincide with the geometric center of its figure, and the line connecting these two centers is not aligned with the direction toward the center of the Earth, instead deviating toward the Southeast. This stationary deviation of the axis of the inertia ellipsoid of the Moon to the South of the direction toward the Earth is analyzed. A system of five linear differential equations describing the physical libration of the Moon in latitude is considered, and these equations are derived using a new vector method taking into account perturbations from the Earth and partly from the Sun. The characteristic equation of this system is obtained, and all five oscillation frequencies are found. Special attention is paid to the fifth (zero) frequency, for which the solution of the latitude libration equations are stationary and represents a previously unknown additional motion of the rotational axis of theMoon in a cone with a small opening angle. In contrast to the astronomical precession of the Earth, the rotation of the angular-velocity vector is in the positive direction (counter-clockwise), with the period T ₃ = 27.32 days. On this basis, this phenomenon has been named “quasi-precession.” This quasi-precession leads to a stationary inclination of the major axis of the inertia ellipsoid of theMoon to the South (for an observer on Earth), making it possible to explain one component of the observed deviation of the center of mass of the Moon from the direction toward the Earth. The opening angle of the quasiprecession cone is approximately 0.834″.     

The Tendencies of the Development of the Mineral-Resources Sector at the Turn of the Century

Important tendencies in development of the world mineral-resources sector at the beginning of the 21st century were an increase in production and consumption of mineral materials differentiated by types of metals and nonmetallic mineral raw materials, by countries and regions, as well as the concentration of the production of mineral raw materials in a small number of countries, and a reduction in industrial reserves of minerals in the world economy, even at the current stage of their extraction. These tendencies should be taken into account in working out a strategy for development of the Russian mineral raw-material base.     

Causes of the famine among the rural population of the Sahelian zone of the Sudan

Taking the example of W Sudan, an analysis of the climatic incidents leading to the two recent famine disasters is made. On this natural background, the human side is investigated. Focus is directed towards the fragile economic structure of the famine-prone population groups. An early-warning system for famine in the Sahelian Zone is proposed taking grain production and storage, livestock development and the relationship between the prices of livestock and grain as major indicators.

The Importance of the Precipitation and the Susceptibility of the Slopes for the Triggering of Landslides Along the Roads

In order to characterise the influence of the heavyrains on the observed landslides during the 1996–1997hydrological cycle, rainfall records for the last 100years are analysed from 104 stations in easternAndalusia. Regarding the amounts of rain recordedbetween October 1996 and March 1997 in the 104stations studied, 31 presented new all-time records;15 presented values that were 80–100% of thepre-1995 record; 49 stations, 80–50%; and 9stations, < 50%. A map has been devised of thesusceptibility of the materials through which thesouth-eastern Andalusian road network crosses,together with an inventory of the damage caused byinstability phenomena on banks and cuttings of theroad network during the winter of 1996–1997. Therelationships between the rainfall during the studyperiod, the damage caused to the road network and thesusceptibility of the materials affected are analysed.The results indicate that there is a clearcorrespondence between the rainfall recorded and thesusceptibility of the materials with the inventorieddamage. It is concluded that the widespread seriousdamage caused in early 1997 to the roads andsurrounding areas in the Alpujarra region and thecoast of the Province of Granada was mainly caused bythe extraordinarily heavy rains. However, considerablyless damage was observed where the susceptibility ofthe terrain is low, thus highlighting the extremeusefulness of terrain-susceptibility maps for riskprevention and territorial planning.
