大别山东端郯庐断裂带由走滑向伸展运动转换的40Ar-39Ar年代学记录

通过对大别山东端郯庐左旋韧性剪切带中一系列含白云母、黑云母、斜长石和钾长石的糜棱岩样品⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar同位素年代学研究,发现大别山东端的郯庐断裂带在距今139Ma之前发生过一次左行平移运动,随后转变为伸展活动,由走滑向伸展活动转换的时间介于距今139Ma至128Ma之间。在伸展活动中,大别山东端的郯庐走滑韧性剪切带发生了缓慢的抬升和冷却,从而导致封闭温度较低的矿物记录了较小的年龄。黑云母110Ma±以及斜长石97~92Ma的⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar年龄值指示郯庐断裂带的伸展活动一直持续到距今90Ma±。     

郯庐断裂带热年代学信息及其与大别造山带折返的关系

大别山东缘早期郯庐韧性剪切带内的 T28- 12和 T28- 13白云母的 (181.4± 0.5) Ma和 (181.6± 0.8) Ma的 40Ar/39Ar坪年龄指示了郯庐早期左旋剪切的冷却时间为 181 Ma,这些年代学数据指示了郯庐同造山期左旋走滑热事件的存在.起源于华北、华南板块陆-陆碰撞过程中的这期断裂平移活动,发生在高压-超高压带主体部分折返至中地壳后的早侏罗世,推测其活动形式表现为造山带折返过程中高压-超高压带向 SE的斜向折返中形成的转换断层.郯庐晚期韧性剪切带内糜棱岩中白云母、黑云母的 40Ar/39Ar年龄,指示了 139 Ma前(早白垩世)发生的又一次左旋走滑冷却事件.在这期断裂带左行平移的同时,大别造山带东段出现了大规模的岩浆侵入及穹状隆升.剪切带糜棱岩中斜长石 40Ar/39Ar年龄指示剪切带在晚白垩世存在一期快速冷却事件,此次快速冷却事件的时间为 97～ 92 Ma.磷灰石裂变径迹研究成果揭示了 45～ 58 Ma前郯庐断裂带的一次快速冷却事件.这两次快速冷却事件分别对应于断裂带晚白垩世、古近纪两次伸展活动,并控制发育了断裂带东侧的潜山断陷盆地.而钾长石和磷灰石所在地记录的冷却时间显示,造山带内部的抬升都相应早于东缘的郯庐断裂带,反映造山带晚白垩世-古近纪的隆升并不受该断裂带伸展控制,而应是岩石圈拆沉的结果.     

郯庐断裂带肥东段早白垩世中期走滑运动的年代学证据

郯庐断裂带肥东段西韦地区和桃花源地区出露了大规模的北北东向韧性剪切带。桃花源地区韧性剪切带显示出2期构造变形的叠加。野外构造和显微构造分析皆指示为左行走滑韧性剪切带。糜棱岩中石英与长石的变形行为指示其变形温度分别为400~450℃和500℃。通过对这两处走滑剪切带内糜棱岩化花岗岩脉的锆石LA-ICP-MS定年,获得了3个样品的侵位年龄分别为(133.2±1.9)Ma,(131.3±2.0)Ma,(130.3±2.0)Ma。再结合已有的研究成果,认为在128~124Ma(早白垩世中期)郯庐断裂带发生过左行走滑活动。综合分析表明,郯庐断裂带在晚侏罗世和早白垩世中期分别经历了2期左行走滑活动,而期间和之后的早白垩世则处于伸展活动之中。伸展活动持续较长,控制发育了西侧的合肥盆地及断裂带内一系列岩浆活动;而区域挤压背景下出现的走滑活动则相对短暂。这些演化规律显示该断裂带在晚侏罗世—早白垩世呈现为交替式的走滑和伸展活动。新发现的早白垩世中期走滑活动,与太平洋区伊泽纳崎板块板块运动方向的调整相对应,是大洋板块运动方向短暂调整的构造响应。     

郯庐断裂带平移时代的同位素年龄证据

对郯庐断裂带南段左旋走滑韧性剪切带中糜棱岩的K-Ar全岩分析结果研究表明,该剪切带形成后,在99±2Ma前(早白垩世末期)冷却至封闭温度。结合其它地质现象,笔者认为郯庐断裂带大规模左行平移发生在早白垩世末期,推测为110—130Ma前。这一平移时代与太平洋的伊泽奈崎(Izanagi)板块向欧亚大陆斜向俯冲的时间基本一致。     

大别山东缘郯庐断裂带的热演化史及构造意义

大别山东缘早期郯庐韧性剪切带 5个糜棱岩中白云母 4 0 Ar/39Ar总体年龄为 187～ 196Ma,其中三个给出了 188.7± 0 .7Ma、189.7±0 .6Ma、192 .5± 0 .7Ma的可靠坪年龄 ,指示了同造山期左旋走滑热事件。起源于华北、华南板块陆—陆碰撞过程中的这期断裂平移活动 ,发生在高压、超高压岩片抬升至中地壳后的早侏罗世 ,推测为陆内俯冲速度差造成的转换断层。晚期郯庐韧性剪切带糜棱岩及其中白云母 4 0 Ar/39Ar年龄 ,指示了 12 8Ma前 (早白垩世 )发生的又一次左旋走滑冷却事件。在这期断裂带左行平移的同时 ,大别造山带东段出现了大规模的岩…     

郯庐断裂带早白垩世火山岩的K-Ar年龄及其构造意义

安徽肥东龙山和山东沂水道托火山岩的K-Ar全岩年龄分别为119.2±2.3Ma和114.8±1.0Ma,明显晚于郯庐断裂带左行平移时间(143.3±1.3Ma),与断裂带内张八岭隆起北段侵入岩中黑云母的⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar坪年龄(120~128Ma),以及南段肥东—巢湖地区的花岗岩中锆石定年结果(106.9~121.4Ma)一致,可能是断裂带伸展活动的产物。     

大别造山带岳西地区岩脉群锆石定年及意义

大别造山带岳西地区分布有大量NNE走向的岩脉,其岩石类型多样,包括石英正长斑岩、花岗斑岩、石英闪长岩以及辉绿岩等。区内广泛发育中生代岩浆岩,以中酸性为主,伴有少量的基性岩。岩脉切穿区内广泛发育的岩浆岩,为燕山期岩浆活动最晚的产物。通过锆石LA-ICPMS定年方法得到石英正长斑岩、石英闪长岩和花岗斑岩3种类型的三件岩脉样品的年龄分别为127.1 Ma±4.5 Ma,127.5 Ma±1.9 Ma和127.4 Ma±2.5 Ma,这些岩脉的形成时代较为集中,其形成时代为早白垩世,代表了岳西地区中生代岩浆活动幕的结束。岳西地区岩脉群是郯庐断裂带左行走滑动力学体制下,岩浆沿剪张裂隙侵入形成,岩脉的形成时代指示郯庐断裂带南段中生代第三次左行走滑可能发生在127 Ma左右。     

郯庐断裂带肥东韧性剪切带的变形规律同位素年龄及其构造意义

郯庐断裂带肥东韧性剪切带的几何学形态为一正花状左行平移断裂带，目前出露的为该韧性剪切带的根部，具有典型的深层次左行走滑变形特征，肥东韧性剪切带中糜棱岩，超糜棱岩测得的^40Ar/^39Ar全岩年龄分别为120.48Ma和118.75Ma，说明郯庐断裂带的大规模左行平移时代为早白垩世，对该带构造变形和构造叠加的研究表明，肥东浮槎山一带是被郯庐断裂带截切，牵引，叠加，改造的印支期大别一胶南造山带的残块，郯庐断裂带与大别-胶南造山带是不同时期，不同构造系统的产物，前者属于滨太平洋构造系统，后者属于特提斯构造系统。     

玲珑金矿区成矿后花岗斑岩脉的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄对胶北地体演化的制约

采用SHRIMP测年技术对玲珑金矿区成矿后花岗斑岩脉的锆石进行了U Pb年龄测定,获得岩脉岩浆锆石的206Pb/238U平均年龄为119.4 Ma,同时获得大量的继承锆石年龄,范围从3 114~127 Ma。继承锆石年龄显示,胶北地体前寒武纪经历了中太古代的陆核生成阶段;新太古代花岗岩绿岩地体增生阶段;古元古代孔兹岩系的沉积阶段;新元古代蓬莱群盖层形成阶段。整个古生代,地体处于稳定的隆升受剥蚀状态,没有明显的岩浆活动。三叠纪,华南与华北克拉通碰撞,郯庐断裂带形成。晚三叠世—中侏罗世,后碰撞的巨大挤压作用导致华北克拉通南缘地壳增厚,玲珑和蚌埠荆山等花岗岩生成。中晚侏罗世,郯庐断裂带发生了巨大的左行平移,胶北地体从蚌埠—五河的东部推移到现在的位置。早白垩世,郯庐断裂由左旋压扭向右行拉张转化,导致胶北地体上郭家岭岩体生成。中晚白垩世,郯庐断裂发生了大规模的拉张,导致沂沭裂谷、胶莱盆地、青山组火山岩、金矿床形成和隆起区大量脉岩侵入。     

与时俱进,发展中国大地构造学

郯庐断裂带的起源时间与型式仍然存在着很大的分歧。最近在大别山东缘早白垩世左旋走滑韧性剪切带中 ,发现了早期左旋走滑韧性剪切带。其中三处早期糜棱岩中白云母分别给出了( 188.7± 0 .7)Ma、( 189.7± 0 .6 )Ma、( 192 .5± 0 .7)Ma的40 Ar/ 3 9Ar坪年龄 ,指示了同造山走滑热事件。前陆沉积与变形构造也表明该断裂带在华北与华南板块碰撞中就发生了活动。郯庐断裂带内的造山期构造及旁侧的前陆沉积与变形构造特征 ,指示断裂带同造山运动为转换断层型式 ,并将大别—苏鲁造山带左行错移了约 35 0km ,同时苏鲁造山带发生逆时针旋转。在早白垩世滨太平洋构造活动中 ,该断裂进一步向北延伸 ,发生了约 2 0 0km的左行平移。因而 ,该断裂带起源于华北与华南板块的碰撞之中 ,其同造山运动与这两大板块的碰撞过程相伴生     

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.     

东濮凹陷北部沙河街组三段中亚段沉积环境分析

东濮凹陷北部沙三中亚段广泛发育盐岩和烃源岩,这两个看似不能共存的物质却在这里互层共生。该时期研究区沉积特征为多盐韵律与多层烃源岩互层共生、连续沉积,单个盐韵律厚度从几米到十几米,烃源岩有机质丰度高、类型好。平面上,两者在湖盆沉积沉降中心共生;垂向上,高有机质丰度、好干酪根类型与高盐度地层具有较好的对应关系。因而成为恢复古气候和古环境的重要研究对象。通过岩石学、古生物学以及Sr/Ba、B/Ga、(V+Ni+Mn)、Fe/Mn、Sr/Cu、Mg/Ca、V/(V+Ni)、稀土元素含量和氯同位素等方法对凹陷北部沙三中亚段的沉积环境进行研究。结果表明,凹陷北部沙三中亚段为深水沉积的还原环境,古盐度较高,达到半咸水-咸水沉积;微量元素和孢粉化石特征表明研究区沙三中亚段为温暖潮湿的环境。

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.
