The Altun Fault: Its Geometry, Nature and Mode of Growth

The Altun (or Altyn Tagh) fault displays a geometry of overlapping of linear and arcuate segments and shows strong inhomogeneity in time and space. It is a gigantic fault system with complex mechanical behaviours including thrusting, sinistral strike slip and normal slip. The strike slip and normal slip mainly occurred in the Cretaceous-Cenozoic and Plio-Quaternary respectively, whereas the thrusting was a deformation event that has played a dominant role since the late Palaeozoic (for a duration of about 305 Ma). The formation of the Altun fault was related to strong inhomogeneous deformation of the massifs on its two sides (in the hinterland of the Altun Mountains contractional deformation predominated and in the Qilian massif thrust propagation was dominant). The fault experienced a dynamic process of successive break-up and connection of its segments and gradual propagation, which was synchronous with the development of an overstep thrust sequence in the Qilian massif and the uplift of the Qinghai-T     

初论尾祁秦缝合系

阿尔金断裂具有线性与弧形相叠加的几何学特征及强烈的时空不均一性，阿尔金断裂是一条同时具有逆冲、左行走滑和正滑复杂力学性质的巨型断裂系。走滑作用和正滑作用的主要时期分别为白垩纪-新生代和上新世一第四纪，逆冲作用则是晚古生代以来一直起主导作用的变形事件（大约305Ma以来）。阿尔金断裂的形成与其两侧地块的强烈不均一变形（阿尔金山腹地以收缩变形为主，祁连地块以逆冲扩展为主）有关，它经历了分段破裂、逐段连接和逐渐扩展的动力学过程，其形成与祁连地块中的上叠式逆冲序列和青藏高原隆升同步，随着自南而北逆冲扩展和青藏高原

塔西北柯坪剪切挤压构造

塔里木西北的柯坪地区存在着再变形的逆冲岩席。研究表明塔里木盆地西北边界断层－阿合奇断层为一巨型左行走滑断层。它在新生代的总走滑量达３０４ｋｍ,具有与塔里木盆地东南边界阿尔金断层相同量级的走滑量。阿合奇断层与阿尔金断层造成了阿合奇－西昆仑－西南塔里木－阿尔金断层剪切挤压构造系统。

阿尔金断裂东段的构造转换模式

大型走滑断裂控制着青藏高原的变形,众多学者通过阿尔金断裂来探索青藏高原北部的构造变形过程。基于野外调查和前人的研究结果可知阿尔金断裂的滑动速率在肃北—疏勒河口段表现为三联点两侧的突降,祁连山西段的逆冲和走滑断裂吸收了阿尔金断裂的左旋位移。由于祁连山内部次级断裂活动性的增强,现存阿尔金断裂连续地表破裂终止于酒泉盆地西侧,但位于其东侧的断裂系仍属于阿尔金断裂。在Kohistan岛弧与欧亚板块碰撞之后,青藏高原沿阿尔金断裂曾发生滑动速率近一致的侧向挤出,断裂两侧此时并未发生明显的隆起。随后东昆仑造山带和祁连山造山带的先后大规模隆升,高原的北东向挤出迅速减弱。阿尔金断裂北东向挤出能力与东昆仑造山带和祁连山造山带的隆起存在明显的耦合作用。

索尔库里盆地的形成,演化及其与阿尔金断裂带的关系研究

阿尔金走滑断裂带主要由阿尔金主干断层与和条近于平行的左行走滑断层和斜交断层组成,其空间分布规律可用左行走滑简单剪切模型解释。索尔库里盆地是阿尔金断裂带中一个新生代断陷盆地,属于典型松弛分叉型走滑拉分盆地。索尔库里盆地扩张开始于上新世,至今扩张量约为４０ｋｍ,其扩张速率约为０．８ｃｍ／ａ。按相同的位移速率,本文估算了阿尔金主干断层自始新世晚期以来的走滑量,大约为３２０ｋｍ。

斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的正演模型与实例分析

斜向逆冲作用在自然界普遍存在,研究斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的构造几何学特征,识别断层相关褶皱是否存在斜向逆冲有重要意义。文章采用Trishear 4.5、Gocad以及Trishear3D软件构建一系列不同滑移量的断层转折褶皱和断层传播褶皱的二维正演剖面,通过连接一系列不同排列方式的二维剖面建立了三种不同逆冲滑移方向的断层转折褶皱和断层传播褶皱的假三维模型,通过不同假三维模型的比较分析来探讨斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的构造几何学特征。研究发现,斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱区别于正向逆冲断层相关褶皱的特征主要有两点：① 正向逆冲断层相关褶皱层面等高线图上的最高点与后翼等高线中点的连线以及水平切面上的核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与断层走向垂直,而斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的最高点以及核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与断层走向斜交,并且最高点与后翼等高线中点的连线方向或者核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与逆冲滑移方向一致;② 在褶皱平行断层走向纵剖面上,正向逆冲断层相关褶皱各个层面最高点的连线是直立的,而斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱各个层面最高点的连线发生倾斜。通过这两个特征可以判别褶皱是否存在斜向逆冲以及逆冲的方向。将模型分析结果运用到四川盆地西南部三维地震勘探资料所覆盖的邛西背斜和大兴西背斜的实例中。研究结果表明,两个背斜均存在右旋斜向逆冲,逆冲方向与各自断层走向的夹角均为70°左右,邛西背斜和大兴西背斜的逆冲方向分别是NE79°和NE77°左右,这与龙门山南段晚上新世以来的主应力方向以及反演的汶川地震最大主应力方向一致。

西昆仑山前冲断系的结构特征

西昆仑山前为一薄皮冲断构造系 ,按冲断系不同区段结构和变形样式的差异 ,由北而南可以将西昆仑冲断系分为以薄皮变形为主的北带和以厚皮变形为主的南带。北带进一步划分为 :帕米尔北缘弧形构造带、齐姆根构造带、柯克亚—桑株构造带和皮山—和田构造带 4个次一级构造带。其中 ,帕米尔北缘弧形构造带为显露型近东西走向展布的紧密的线性冲断褶皱带和断裂带 ;齐姆根构造带为受走滑与冲断作用复合影响的隐伏型盲冲走滑构造带 ;柯克亚—桑株构造带是以冲断作用为主的隐伏型盲冲构造带 ;皮山—和田构造带则是典型的显露型冲断推覆体。构造带的走向差异、边界条件的不同和空间上的制约是各构造带之间差异活动的原因。在每一个构造线变化的区段与邻近部位具有不同的结构 ,从而在空间上形成了较为复杂的冲断体系。

Deformation at the Easternmost Altyn Tagh Fault: Constraints on the Growth of the Northern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

How the Altyn Tagh fault(ATF) extends eastwards is one of the key questions in the study of the growth of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Detailed fieldwork at the easternmost part of the ATF shows that the ATF extends eastward and bypasses the Kuantan Mountain; it does not stop at the Kuantan Mountain, but connects with the northern Heishan fault in the east. The ATF does not enter the Alxa Block but extends eastward along the southern Alxa Block to the Jintanan Mountain. The Heishan fault is not a thrust fault but a sinistral strike-slip fault with a component of thrusting and is a part of the ATF. Further to the east, the Heishan fault may connect with the Jintananshan fault. A typical strike-slip duplex develops in the easternmost part of the ATF. The cut and deformed Quaternary sediments and displaced present gullies along the easternmost ATF indicate that it is an active fault. The local highest Mountain(i.e., the Kuantan Mountain) in the region forms in a restraining bend of the ATF due to the thrusting and uplifting. The northward growth of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and the active deformation in South Mongolia are realized by sinistral strike-slipping on a series of NE–SW-trending faults and thrusting in restraining bends along the strike-slip faults with the northeastward motion of blocks between these faults.     

赣江断裂带中生代的演化及其地球动力学背景

赣江断裂带是江西省境内醒目的北北东向平移断裂构造带,由一系列北北东向、北东向和北西向断裂束组成,表现为一个大规模的左行走滑脆性剪切带并兼具伸展断陷和右旋走滑的成份。赣江断裂带在重力、航磁异常呈现为显著的梯度带,是一条晚中生代的岩浆岩带,控制了以鄱阳盆地为代表的一系列白垩纪-古近纪沉积盆地的形成与发育。该带在中生代的演化可分为早-中侏罗世压扭、晚侏罗早-白垩世左行平移和晚白垩世上盘斜落的右行平移3个阶段。在侏罗纪以来太平洋板块对欧亚大陆斜向俯冲的大背景下,赣江断裂带的形成和演化与华南广为发育的燕山期陆内造山作用密切相关,北北东向断裂的发育则直接受郯庐断裂早白垩世左行走滑活动控制,因而表现出“北强南弱”和“北早南晚”的特点。白垩纪时赣江断裂的活动方式与郯庐断裂一致,可认为是后者的南延。     

从地球物理场信息探讨阿尔金断裂带东北尾端效应和延伸

据区域地球物理资料分析,阿尔金—祁连山弧形巨型重力梯级带展布在青藏高原东北边缘,构成青藏地块与塔里木、华北地块的分界,NEE向密集重力梯级带反映出阿尔金断裂带呈左行走滑兼有逆冲;祁连山西段NWW向弧形重力高、重力低相间分布,反映出祁连造山带内挤压推覆、逆冲叠置、盆山耦合的构造格局;在敦煌—金塔之间,基于阿尔金左行走滑断裂带东北段存在尾端效应,产生一系列与NEE向走滑断裂伴生的NNE向拉分断陷盆地,大陆碱性玄武岩充填在拉分空间,引起与重力低对应的磁异常;由于能量的消减和转换致使阿尔金断裂终止于金塔盆地花海断陷,向东并未延伸。
