华南地区岩石圈电性特征及其地球动力学意义

岩石圈-软流圈界面（The Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary,LAB）是地球内部主要界面之一.大地电磁测深（Magnetotelluric,MT）是研究地球壳幔电性结构最有效的方法,利用长周期大地电磁测深数据可以较好地探测LAB.在SinoProbe-01-03课题的资助下,首次获得了华南地区4°×4°网度的高质量大地电磁测深数据.利用一维奥卡姆（Occam）算法反演了MT阻抗的反对角线元素所计算出的平均视电阻率.根据一维地电结构可以将华南地区岩石圈划分为五种类型：以湖南邵阳和贵州施秉为代表的克拉通型,以四川达州和彭州及湖北荆门为代表的构造边界型,以浙江湖州和广东云浮为代表的岩石圈中等改造型,以江西赣州、广东揭阳及福建霞浦为代表的岩石圈强烈改造型,以湖北英山为代表的造山带型.除湖南邵阳、贵州施秉及广东揭阳外,华南地区岩石圈厚度为60~145 km.本文研究表明华南地区岩石圈显示出南北两侧上抬、中部下凹、东部受不均匀改造的趋势,这一结果与之前发表的文献所揭示的华南地区岩石圈东薄西厚的典型特征是不同的.研究结果反映华南地区岩石圈稳定性较好,晚中生代以来的构造伸展作用对岩石圈的改造程度有限,可能主要以不同形式的软流圈底辟为主.     

青藏高原东缘地壳、上地幔电性结构探测及其构造意义

利用大地电磁测深(简称MT)方法对青藏高原东缘地区进行了地壳、上地幔电性结构探测研究,得到了该区具有特殊的电性结构特征,探测结果清晰揭示出:(i)鲜水河断裂带是一条规模巨大的岩石圈断裂,它是川滇菱形块体的重要边界断裂;(ii)测区为强震多发区,断裂两侧块体介质的差异是强震活动带重要的深部背景;(iii)川滇菱形块体北部地区十几公里下,发现存在大规模低阻体,电阻率仅为几～几十欧姆·米,该层约以45°角向北东下延,与青藏高原侧向挤出,物质向东流变,受刚性块体阻挡有关。从深部介质电性特征,推断现今川滇菱形块体北部处在热状态,是近代很活动的块体之一;(iV)测区内岩石圈厚度由西段(川滇北部块体)逐渐向东(扬子块体)增厚。     

长周期大地电磁测深研究——青藏高原东部LMT响应函数及应用

长周期大地电磁(LMT)是基于常规MT理论发展起来的电磁测深技术,青藏高原东部岩石圈较厚、视电阻率较低,应用LMT方法能够弥补常规MT仪器对低频信号响应的不足,获得有用的深部信息。文中概述了LMT的数据采集、处理及反演解释,并介绍了将LMT应用于东喜马拉雅构造结及其周围地区完成的长周期观测剖面——下察隅—玉树LMT剖面的岩石圈结构探测实例。实际观测表明,在重叠频段内LMT结果与常规MT具有良好的一致性;LMT数据处理实现的阻抗和倾子估计,在深部信息上具有更高的分辨率。LMT剖面结果揭示了青藏高原东部普遍存在地下低阻体,为局部地区部分熔融和地下流体存在的可能性提供了依据。LMT测深较好地弥补了常规MT方法在巨厚岩石圈和遇到低阻体时探测深度的局限性。     

松辽盆地岩石圈减薄的深部动力学过程

松辽盆地作为东亚裂谷系的一部分,与华北克拉通一起经历了中生代岩石圈减薄的重大地质事件.对大陆岩石圈-软流圈状态和构造的整体认识,是研究大陆岩石圈减薄深部动力学过程的关键.在获得过松辽盆地的106个宽频和30个长周期大地电磁测深数据的基础上,完成测点数据二维偏离度、构造走向等计算与分析,进一步采用非线性共轭梯度算法,对TE和TM模式数据进行二维联合反演,获得了沿剖面的壳-幔电性结构,并依此构建了松辽盆地壳-幔结构模型.研究结果表明：（1）大兴安岭地区岩石圈厚度约为160 km,松辽盆地岩石圈厚度约为45 km,张广才岭岩石圈厚度在70~100 km之间,莫霍面与岩石圈底界面不呈镜像关系.软流圈整体表现为中、低阻异常,电阻率值在30 Ωm左右,其形态呈西倾约30°的蘑菇状异常,指示了软流圈物质上涌的形式,有别于软流圈垂直上涌的传统认识.（2）松辽盆地深部存在双层高导异常（电阻率小于5 Ωm）,上层为壳内高导层,呈"蛇"状分布,推断为岩浆底侵区,下层为幔内高导层,呈"哑铃"状,为软流圈上涌区.软流圈内存在两个"哑铃"状中、高阻异常,推断为拆沉的岩石圈地幔.具有冷的、高密度的下降物质流的堆积以及拆沉块体下插到两侧山岭是促使大兴安岭与张广才岭在中生代伸展环境中快速隆升重要原因;（3）松辽盆地经历了岩石圈减薄事件,与大兴安岭岩石圈厚度相比,松辽盆地岩石圈厚度减薄了近100 km,与东侧张广才岭相比减薄了70 km,而与中生代华北地台100 km的岩石圈厚度相比,减薄了近50 km,其经历了岩石圈伸展期、裂解期、拆沉期和增长期的动力学过程.

华北克拉通及东邻西太平洋活动大陆边缘地区的P波速度结构：对岩石圈减薄动力学过程的探讨

本文通过地震层析成像研究获得了华北克拉通及其东邻地区（30°N-50°N,95°E -145°E）1°×1°的P波速度扰动图像.结果显示,在西太平洋俯冲带地区,上地幔中西倾的板片状高速异常体与其上方的低速异常区构成俯冲带与上覆地幔楔的典型速度结构式样.俯冲板片高速体在约300~400 km深度范围内被低速物质充填,暗示俯冲板片可能发生了断离.在华北克拉通地区的上地幔中发现三个东倾排列的高速异常带.在此基础上,本文构建了华北克拉通及其东邻西太平洋活动大陆边缘地区的上地幔速度结构模式图,并据此探讨克拉通岩石圈减薄与西太平洋活动大陆边缘的深部动力学联系.本文认为,太平洋板片的俯冲（断离）,触发热地幔物质上涌并在上覆地幔楔中形成对流,使克拉通岩石圈受到改造（底侵与弱化）.随着俯冲板片后撤,地幔楔中的对流场以及对岩石圈改造的影响范围均随之东移,最终导致华北克拉通岩石圈自下而上、从西向东分三个阶段依次拆沉减薄.这一模式能很好地解释现今克拉通岩石圈自西向东呈台阶状减薄的深部现象.     

利用S波接收函数研究华南块体的岩石圈结构

本文基于跨越华夏块体至四川盆地西部的130个线性流动地震台站及其附近90个固定台网台站的观测资料,采用S波接收函数波动方程叠后偏移方法,开展了华南大陆岩石圈结构研究.成像结果显示,研究区岩石圈结构复杂,不同构造单元之间差异显著,构造边界带附近小尺度变化强烈.150 km以上的厚岩石圈主要位于四川盆地,不足100 km的薄岩石圈主要分布于川东褶皱带和华夏块体.雪峰山下方岩石圈厚度显著增加,且以雪峰山为界岩石圈结构和性质存在着显著的东西差异.结合其它地球物理观测得到的地壳-上地幔结构信息,我们提出：（1）四川盆地还保留着厚而冷的克拉通岩石圈根,且岩石圈地幔具有结构分层特征;（2）雪峰山可能是扬子克拉通与华夏块体在西南部的边界;（3）雪峰山以东区域可能经历了岩石圈的减薄和改造,且华南岩石圈的减薄与华北相似,都主体发生在东部地区,造成现今南北重力梯度带两侧强烈的结构差异.研究结果为认识华南大陆的构造演化及其深部动力学提供了地震学约束.

西伯利亚板块与华北克拉通碰撞带地电结构及对深部缝合边界的讨论

西伯利亚板块与华北克拉通碰撞导致古亚洲洋闭合,形成了幅员辽阔的中亚造山带,该带内记录了丰富的板块碰撞信息,揭示深部缝合边界对于研究洋-陆俯冲到陆-陆碰撞的深部动力学过程具有重要的科学意义.本文对查干敖包—化德410km大地电磁测深(MT)剖面数据进行反演,获得二维电性结构,为研究西伯利亚板块与华北克拉通碰撞带深部构造形迹、碰撞边界问题提供地电结构的依据.结合人工反射地震及地质资料获得以下认识:(1)西伯利亚板块与华北克拉通碰撞带地壳存在多组"U"型低阻异常,多对应弧型、倾斜或"鳄鱼嘴"状反射界面.莫霍面存在两处错断现象,并与深部电性梯度带对应.岩石圈地幔除白乃庙岛弧呈低阻块体外,均为高阻块体,这些电性结构特征反映了南北汇聚所形成的构造形迹.(2)碰撞带可分为二连—贺根山和索伦—西拉木伦河两个不同时期的汇聚体系,晚泥盆世—晚石炭世早期形成的二连—贺根山汇聚体系由二连—贺根山增生杂岩带、宝力岛弧地体及断裂带组成,深部缝合边界位于二连浩特.而晚二叠—早三叠的索伦—西拉木伦河汇聚体系由二道井子增生杂岩带和温都尔庙增生杂岩带及断裂带组成,深部缝合边界位于苏尼特右旗.(3)在锡林浩特地区软流圈内部存在高阻异常,可能为俯冲消失的洋壳或碰撞造山后拆离的岩石圈残片.     

鄂尔多斯地块北部至阴山造山带深部电性结构特征研究

在SinoProbe-01项目的资助下,完成了一条跨越鄂尔多斯地块北部、河套断陷盆地和阴山造山带的大地电磁剖面,剖面长约440 km,共包括24个宽频测点和4个宽频一长周期联合测点.采用NLCG算法对TE和TM模式数据进行了二维反演,获得了该剖面的二维电性结构模型.结果表明:鄂尔多斯地块北部由浅至深电性结构比较简单,成层性较好,大体可分为低阻沉积盖层-高阻上地壳-低阻下地壳和上地幔顶部三层;河套断陷盆地和阴山造山带电性结构相对复杂,电阻率高低相间.鄂尔多斯地块北缘、河套断陷盆地以及阴山造山带区域的壳幔高导体可能与硫化物和部分熔融作用有关,而鄂尔多斯地块内部大规模的壳幔高导层可能是由高导矿物引起的.河套断陷盆地的沉降、阴山造山带的地势抬升和鄂尔多斯地块北缘东胜一杭锦旗一带的的隆起之间有着紧密的关系,它们的形成可能与区域伸展构造环境条件下的软流圈物质上涌有关.     

Sounding of electrical structure of the crust and upper mantle along the eastern border of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its tectonic significance

Sounding and study on electrical structure of the crust and upper mantle within the eastern border region of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by using the magnetotelluric sounding (simply MT) method permitted us to understand the characteristics of specific electrical structure in the region. The sounding result clearly revealed that: (1) The Xianshuihe fault zone represents a large-scale lithospheric fault and is an important boundary fault of the rhombic Sichuan-Yunnan block. (2) The sounded region is a strong earthquake-prone zone. The different crustal media of blocks on both sides of the fault became an important deep background for the strong seismo-active zone. (3) A large-scale low-resistivity layer is found to exist at a depth more than ten kilometers beneath the northern part of the rhombic Sichuan-Yunnan block. Its electrical resistivity is only several to tens Ω · m. The layer northeastward extends down at an angle of 45°. It is related to an obstacle to the lateral squeeze of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and eastward flow of mass by the rigid block. It is inferred from the characteristics of electrical property of deep media that the northern part of the recent rhombic Sichuan-Yunnan block is in a thermal state and is one of the recently fairly active blocks. (4) The lithosphere in the sounded region is gradually thickened from the western segment (northern Sichuan-Yunnan block) to east (Yangtze block).     

Deep electrical structure of the Sulu orogen and neighboring areas

Because of the discovery of ultrahigh pressure metamorphic (UHPM) belt beneath the Sulu (Jiangsu Province-Shandong Province) orogen, this area has become a focused subject of current geoscience, as it has a close relationship with the evolution of the orogen and the neighboring North China craton. Probing the deep structure beneath this area would be of great significance for the geological interpretation of this issue. In this study, we make an analysis of magnetotelluric (MT) data along a profile across the Sulu orogen to provide evidence of deep structure below this region. The profile begins in west from the North China block, extending in S129°E, across the Tan-Lu fault, Sulu UHPM zone, and Sulu high pressure metamorphic (HPM) zone, and terminates in the Yangtze block in east. We use the nonlinear conjugate gradient method and TE-TM combined mode to perform inversion and interpretation of the MT data, and obtain an electrical structure image above depth of 150 km along the profile. It shows that the structure can be divided into seven sections in lateral direction, between which the electric boundaries coincide well with the major faults, such as the Tan-Lu, Haizhou-Siyang, and Jiashan-Xiangshui faults. In vertical direction the electrical structure can be subdivided into six layers of different resistivities. It is noted that there exist high-conductivity areas in crust below the North China block and Yangtze block, while such a feature is not present beneath the Sulu orogen, which is very different from the Dabie orogen. It is also observed that a fairly continuous zone of relatively low-resistivity exists at depths of 50–90 km of the electrical structure image, which is presumably a weak zone in the uppermost mantle. Just below this low-resistivity zone are the relatively high- resistivity layer of the North China block, relatively low-resistivity layer of the Sulu orogen, and relatively high-resistivity layer of the Yangtze block, all in the shallow upper mantle, respectively. From the whole 2D electrical structure image, there is no abnormally low-resistivity layer in the shallow upper mantle beneath the Sulu orogen and neighboring areas, indicating that no hot asthenoshperic material associated with lithospheric thinning exists at present.

安徽霍山地震区深部电性结构和发震构造特征

霍山地震区位于大别造山带北缘华北板块与扬子板块接触带上,是大别造山带及周边地震活动最频繁、最集中的地区.83个大地电磁测点组成的大地电磁三维阵列覆盖了整个霍山地震区.用多重网格法、印模迭代重构法和非线性共轭梯度法对阵列数据进行三维带地形反演,获得了地震区深部三维电性结构.电性结构显示,北大别、北淮阳区的中上地壳为电阻率1000Ωm以上的高阻区,中下地壳为电阻率数十欧姆米的相对低阻区;六安盆地电阻率整体较低,中地壳存在显著的电阻率为几欧姆米的壳内高导层.北西向的晓天—磨子潭断裂分隔了北大别高阻层和北淮阳高阻层,在浅部向NE倾,深部向SW倾;北东向的落儿岭—土地岭断裂切穿北大别上地壳高阻层.小震双差定位结果表明,地震主要发生在NE向延伸的落儿岭—土地岭断裂附近的北大别、北淮阳中上地壳的高阻区,并集中于NW向的晓天—磨子潭断裂运动所造成的构造薄弱带中;2014年M S4.3霍山地震震源深度较深,位于北大别高阻区内部的电性梯度较大的区域.综合上述结果我们认为,霍山地震区的主要发震断裂为落儿岭—土地岭断裂,断裂的运动变形充分利用了晓天—磨子潭断裂早先活动所形成的构造薄弱带,断裂下方壳源高导体中的流体沿断层传播使断层强度弱化,使得这些薄弱带区易于发生小地震.由于北大别、北淮阳构造区显著高阻层的存在,我们认为霍山地震区存在发生6级以上中强震的深部孕震环境.     

STUDY ON THE ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE OF THE ANQIU AND JUXIAN ELECTROMAGNETIC STATIONS IN THE TANLU FAULT ZONE

The Yishu fault zone is one of the branch faults of the Tanlu fault zone in its central part. Moderate and strong earthquakes occurred in the Yishu fault zone repeatedly. Due to its complex structure, the Yishu fault zone attracts much attention from earthquake researches. The Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations in Shandong Province locate near the Anqiu-Juxian Fault and Changyi-Dadian Fault, which are branches of the Yishu fault zone, respectively. Geoelectric field and geomagnetic field observation were carried out in these two stations. The Wudi electromagnetic station is in the west of Tanlu fault zone in the Jidong-Bohai block and 230km from Anqiu electromagnetic station. This paper firstly describes the crustal structure near the electromagnetic stations by using magnetotelluric(MT)method. By processing the data carefully, we obtain the MT data in good quality near the stations. The MT data of each electromagnetic station and its nearby area suggests that the electrical structure and geological structure of the station are comparable. This paper applied 1-D and 2-D inversion for MT data and obtained the crustal electrical structure model beneath the Anqiu and Juxian seismic station. The shallow electrical structure from the MT method was compared with the results of symmetrical quadrupole electrical sounding. The model suggests that the electrical structure beneath the Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations is complex and shows the feature of block boundary. The Wudi electromagnetic station is located inside a basin, the crustal structure shows layered feature typical for the stable blocks. Beneath the Anqiu electromagnetic station, there is a 1km-thick relative low resistivity layer in the shallow crust and a high resistivity body beneath it with a depth of 13km. There is a high resistivity structure in the crust beneath the Juxian electromagnetic station. The crustal structures are divided into two different parts by Anqiu-Juxian Fault and Changyi-Dadian Fault, respectively. More conductive layers appear to the west of the two faults. Plenty of fluid possibly exists within the conductive body to the west of Changyi-Dadian Fault, which plays important role in the earthquake generation. There is a relative low resistivity layer in the crust within 1~2km beneath the Wudi electromagnetic station. Beneath the relatively low resistivity layer, a relatively high resistivity layer extends to a depth of around 15km, and the resistivity value decreases with the increase of depth. The electrical resistivity model suggests the seismic activity of the Yishu fault zone around the Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations should be taken into account seriously, and monitoring and research on it need to be strengthened. The results of this paper provide a certain reference value for the crustal structure research to similar stations.     

On the Causes of Electrical Conductivity Anomalies in Tectonically Stable Lithosphere

Magnetotelluric (MT) data can image the electrical resistivity of the entire lithospheric column and are therefore one of the most important data sources for understanding the structure, composition and evolution of the lithosphere. However, interpretations of MT data from stable lithosphere are often ambiguous. Recent results from mineral physics studies show that, from the mid-crust to the base of the lithosphere, temperature and the hydrogen content of nominally anhydrous minerals are the two most important controls on electrical conductivity. Graphite films on mineral grain boundaries also enhance conductivity but are stable only to the uppermost mantle. The thermal profile of most stable lithosphere can be well constrained, so the two important unknowns that can affect the conductivity of a lithospheric section are hydrogen content and graphite films. The presence of both of these factors is controlled by the geological history of the lithosphere. Hydrogen in nominally anhydrous minerals behaves as an incompatible element and is preferentially removed during melting or high-temperature tectonothermal events. Grain-boundary graphite films are only stable to ~900 °C so they are also destroyed by high-temperature events. Conversely, tectonic events that enrich the lithosphere in incompatible elements, such as interaction with fluids from a subducting slab or a plume, can introduce both hydrogen and carbon into the lithosphere and therefore increase its electrical conductivity. Case studies of MT results from central Australia and the Slave Craton in Canada suggest that electrical conductivity can act as a proxy for the level of enrichment in incompatible elements of the lithosphere.
