东海盆地演化的一种新模式—“持续拉张—脉动挤压”

随着地质、地球物理等资料的大量获得，“弧后盆地扩张”模式和“地体拼贴”模式也不能合理地解释东海盆地的演化，本文提出了东海盆地演化的一种新模式－“持续拉张－脉动挤压”模式，并探讨了该模式的力源机制，认为东海盆地演化的拉张力源是中国东部地幔软流圈自西向东（或东南）的蠕动流、岩石圈本身的陆亮（厚）到洋壳（簿）的扩张力、岩石圈的局部对流引起的侧向扩张及对岩石圈底部的热侵蚀；挤压力源则是菲律宾海大洋岩石圈向     

东海陆架盆地南部构造演化及对油气的控制作用

通过对东海陆架盆地形成的动力学机制研究,分析了动力学机制控制下的盆地南部构造演化特征,提出构造演化对油气成藏的四个控制作用：（1）构造运动控制了盆地演化阶段与凹陷结构;（2）构造运动控制了盆地沉降中心迁移与地层分布;（3）构造运动决定了油气成藏关键时期和油气分带的差异性;（4）构造运动控制了油气聚集与分布。构造运动是盆地演化及油气成藏的主导因素,盆地构造演化结合油气地质综合研究是东海陆架盆地南部油气勘探工作的重点。     

渤海湾盆地-东海陆架盆地-菲律宾海盆地古近纪沉降中心迁移及其动力学意义

分析了古近纪渤海湾盆地、东海陆架盆地和菲律宾海盆地的总体盆地结构和沉积特征,在此基础上对比分析了三大盆地古近纪沉降中心的迁移规律,提出了印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞的远程效应和太平洋板块后退式俯冲是导致三大盆地演化呈现规律性的原因,且前者是主导因素。印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞引起地幔流自西向东蠕动并上涌,使岩石圈拉伸、减薄、破裂,在中国东部盆地产生NE向断裂的右旋走滑,进一步影响并控制了渤海湾盆地和东海陆架盆地的构造演化。太平洋板块的后退式俯冲为亚洲东部的岩石圈向东伸展、蠕散提供了应变空间,太平洋板块晚始新世俯冲方向的改变对东海陆架盆地和菲律宾海盆地向东的构造跃迁及沉降中心迁移产生了重要影响。     

边缘海盆地断层差异演化成因的数值模拟：以西湖凹陷平北斜坡带为例

东海陆架盆地中生代以来的成盆过程中,发育了大量陆倾控盆断裂,其发育模式与形成演化与东亚其他边缘海盆地差异明显。前人关注东海陆架盆地迁移特征,而忽略了断层差异演化的形成机制,对断层发育过程控制因素缺少深入研究。西湖凹陷平北斜坡带北部为海倾断层组成的断阶区,南部为陆倾断层组成的半地堑区,断裂差异演化指示着东海陆架盆地的成盆过程。本文通过离散元数值模拟,模拟陆倾和海倾断层的形成及演化,以探讨断层几何发育特征的控制因素。结果表明,岩性差异对斜坡带断层演化有较大影响,较高抗剪强度岩层破裂易产生陆倾控盆断裂,而低抗剪强度岩石则易形成向海倾断层。应力作用方向是区域差异演化的重要控制因素,岩石强度相同,应力作用方向相反时,断层倾向相反。盆地形成过程中发育众多凹陷斜坡,但坡度不是断层差异演化的主导因素。平北斜坡带和边缘海盆地的差异演化可能是由基底强度差异或应力方向差异导致的。本文利用离散元数值模拟平北斜坡带断裂差异演化过程,为东海盆地构造演化机制及边缘海盆地的形成提供了思路和理论依据。     

冲绳海槽现代张裂的地球物理特征

位于东海陆架与琉球岛弧之间的冲绳海槽为板块俯冲作用形成的弧后断陷盆地,具有独特的构造地貌特征。自中新世末以来历经了4个强烈拉张的演化时期,目前已达到张裂的高级阶段。地球物理资料显示,海槽中的现代拉张作用仍在进行,表现在海槽轴部快速沉降形成地堑槽,对称分布的张性断裂,晚更新世—全新世以来的岩浆活动,从老至新排列的磁异常务带以及高地热流、频繁的地震活动等,充分体现了冲绳海槽的现代扩张特点。     

中国滨太平洋构造域构造格架和东海地质演化

东海位于亚洲大陆东部滨太平洋构造域，根据刘光鼎院士的意义，中国东部大陆边缘海构造演化过程可归纳为陆核形成阶段（Ar-Pt1-2)-古全球构造阶段(Pt1-C)-中间构造变动阶段（P-T2）-新全球构造发展阶段（T3-Q），最后的发展阶段主要表现为3次变革运动，即：T3-K1的挤压，改造：K2-E3^2的拉张，聚敛；E3^2-Q的俯冲，沉降，从而塑造出现今中国海，陆的大地构造面貌，东部大陆边缘海，以东海陆架盆地为代表，主要形成于晚白垩世至中新世，经历了断陷-拗陷-区域沉降3个演化阶段，东海一个特殊的地质构造即冲绳海槽，关于它的成因说法不一，但从它具有高热流。强地震，多火山，活断层等现代构造活动的显著特征，可以认为它是一个典型的发育在大陆边缘，由陆壳扩张而成，尚处于扩张早期的弧后活动盆地。

台湾海峡盆地的地质构造特征及演化

分析了台湾海峡盆地形成的区域地质背景,将其纳入东海和南海盆地形成的框架内考虑,研究其区域演化阶段和盆地演化特征。结果表明,以台湾海峡盆地为中心的包括南海北部陆缘和东海在内的中国东南沿海地区在古新世—始新世期间处于统一的边缘海盆构造背景之下,而自晚始新世起,南海北部大陆边缘与其北部的台湾海峡地区、东海逐渐走上了不同的演化道路,前者向非典型的被动大陆边缘演变,而后者则继续其自古新世—始新世以来的演化进程,形成了自古新世至晚中新世间的4个有序分布的裂陷盆地群和相应的盆间弧体系。台湾海峡盆地有两次独特的前陆盆地经历,分别发生于晚渐新世—早中新世和晚中新世末至今,并且以第二次前陆最为强烈。

应用构造动力学理论和原理，分析了南海南部自晚中生代以来的构造应力场特征与构造演化。认为南海南部总体上处于南北向挤压应力场中，其构造演化可分为４个阶段，其中，众多沉积盆地及其主要构造主要形成于２－３阶段（渐新世－中新世）。     

南海边缘海成因与新生代构造演化研究综述

关于南海边缘海的成因以及新生代以来的构造演化问题，众多学者撰文探索奥秘，新理论新观点不断涌现。总体说来，主要有弧后主动扩张说、弧后被动拉张说、右行剪切拉分，局部区域挤出说，地幔柱构造理论等，各种理论演绎出大陆边缘和边缘盆地空间几何形态和块体运动及位移等各种模式。尤其是以板块构造为基础所产生的弧后扩张说，成为人们解释南海形成演化的经典假说，并有广泛的影响。但是近年来所提出的“原地重熔与地球化学场”学说也逐渐在各种找矿活动和理论研究中得到证实，也可应用于此学说解释南海边缘海的构造成因和新生代演化。     

The Crustal Structure Character of East China Sea

This paper presents actuality of investigation and study of the crustal structure characters of East China Sea at home and abroad. Based on lots of investigation and study achievements and the difference of the crustal velocity structure from west to east, the East China Sea is divided into three parts - East China Sea shelf zone, Okinawa Trough zone and Ryukyu arc-trench zone. The East China Sea shelf zone mostly has three velocity layers, i.e., the sediment blanket layer （the velocity is 5.8-5.9 km/s）, the basement layer （the velocity is 6.0-6.3 km/s）, and the lower crustal layer （the velocity is 6.8-7.6 km/s）. So the East China Sea shelf zone belongs to the typical continental crust. The Okinawa Trough zone is located at the transitional belt between the continental crust and the oceanic crust. It still has the structural characters of the continental crust, and no formation of the oceanic crust, but the crust of the central trough has become to thinning down. The Ryukyu arc-trench zone belongs to the transitional type crust as a whole, but the ocean side of the trench already belongs to the oceanic crust. And the northwest Philippine Basin to the east of the Ryukyu Trench absolutely belongs to the typical oceanic crust.     

Seismic study of the Ulleung Basin crust and its implications for the opening of the East Sea (Japan Sea)

The Ulleung Basin (Tsushima Basin) in the southwestern East Sea (Japan Sea) is floored by a crust whose affinity is not known whether oceanic or thinned continental. This ambiguity resulted in unconstrained mechanisms of basin evolution. The present work attempts to define the nature of the crust of the Ulleung Basin and its tectonic evolution using seismic wide-angle reflection and refraction data recorded on ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs). Although the thickness of (10 km) of the crust is greater than typical oceanic crust, tau-p analysis of OBS data and forward modeling by 2-D ray tracing suggest that it is oceanic in character: (1) the crust consists of laterally consistent upper and lower layers that are typical of oceanic layers 2 and 3 in seismic velocity and gradient distribution and (2) layer 2C, the transition between layer 2 and layer 3 in oceanic crust, is manifested by a continuous velocity increase from 5.7 to 6.3 km/s over the thickness interval of about 1 km between the upper and lower layers. Therefore it is not likely that the Ulleung Basin was formed by the crustal extension of the southwestern Japan Arc where crustal structure is typically continental. Instead, the thickness of the crust and its velocity structure suggest that the Ulleung Basin was formed by seafloor spreading in a region of hotter than normal mantle surrounding a distant mantle plume, not directly above the core of the plume. It seems that the mantle plume was located in northeast China. This suggestion is consistent with geochemical data that indicate the influence of a mantle plume on the production of volcanic rocks in and around the Ulleung Basin. Thus we propose that the opening models of the southwestern East Sea should incorporate seafloor spreading and the influence of a mantle plume rather than the extension of the crust of the Japan Arc.     

东海新生代构造格架特征与油气关系

东海海域存在着二个不同时期、不同类型、不同结构秒同成因机制的新生代盆地，即发育在陆壳之上的东海陆架陆缘裂谷盆地和发育在过渡地壳之上的冲绳海槽弧后盆地。前者是大陆向洋蠕散时两次裂离而形成的，后者是洋壳向陆壳俯冲导致陆壳裂离而产生的。     

东海莫霍面起伏与地壳减薄特征初步分析

收集、整理大量由地震剖面提供的沉积层厚度资料,得到东海沉积层等厚图。对完全布格重力异常进行沉积层重力效应改正后,得到剩余重力异常,利用地震资料揭示的莫霍面深度值来约束界面反演得到东海莫霍面埋深。结果表明,东海陆架盆地莫霍面深度在25～28 km之间平缓变化,地壳厚度为14～26 km,西厚东薄;冲绳海槽盆地莫霍面深度为16～26 km,地壳厚度为12～22 km,北厚南薄。东海陆架盆地东部与冲绳海槽盆地南部地壳减薄明显,拉张因子分别达到2.6和3。初步分析认为冲绳海槽地壳以过渡壳为主,并未形成洋壳。     

我国南海历史性水域线的地质特征

40a的海洋地质、地球物理实测研究表明,九段线不仅是显示我国南海主权的历史性水域线,而且总体上也是南海与东部、南部和西部陆区及岛区的巨型地质边界线。根据实测数据,本文将从地质成因、来源、演化的角度论述此南海历史性水域线的合理性。主要结论包括:历史性水域线的东段在地形上基本与马尼拉海沟一致,海沟西侧为南海中央海盆洋壳区,东侧为菲律宾群岛。根据国际地质研究的资料,菲律宾群岛始新世以前位于较偏南的纬度,后来于中晚中新世(距今16~10Ma)仰冲于南海中央海盆之上,因此菲律宾群岛是一个外来群岛。而黄岩岛在马尼拉海沟以西,是中央海盆洋壳区的一个岛礁,与菲律宾群岛成因不同。南海历史性水域线的南段在地形上基本与南沙海槽一致,伴随南沙地块由北部陆缘向南裂离,古南海洋壳沿此海槽以南俯冲至加里曼丹岛陆壳之下,因此南沙地块与加里曼丹陆块为两个来历不同的地块。南海历史性水域线西段的分布在地形上与越东巨型走滑断裂带基本一致,可能与西沙地块、中沙地块、南沙地块从南海北部陆缘向南滑移有关。南沙地块北缘陡直的正断层结构,突显中央海盆是拉裂形成,其基底和中新生代地层与北部珠江口盆地的地层结构可以对比,说明南沙岛礁原属我国华南大陆南缘,后因南海的形成裂离至现今的位置。     

从南海与大洋磁异常的相关性探讨南海的成因

对南海与大洋盆地条带状磁异常的相关分析表明，相关系数为０．１１—０．６５９，存在弱线性关系。这从一个侧面反映出边缘海洋壳与大洋壳本质上的差异。边缘海洋壳是玄武岩浆侵入并吞蚀破碎的大陆边缘地壳后形成的不同于大洋壳的新型洋壳。南海盆地磁异常显示其洋壳是新老不一、厚薄不匀的新洋壳的拼合叠覆体。     

Crustal analysis of the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea (Japan Sea) from enhanced gravity mapping

To facilitate geological analyses of the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea (Japan Sea) between Korea and Japan, shipborne and satellite altimetry-derived gravity data are combined to derive a regionally coherent anomaly field. The 2-min gridded satellite altimetry-based gravity predicted by Sandwell and Smith [Sandwell DT, Smith WHF (1997) J Geophys Res 102(B5):10,039–10,054] are used for making cross-over adjustments that reduce the errors between track segments and at the cross-over points of shipborne gravity profiles. Relative to the regionally more homogeneous satellite gravity anomalies, the longer wavelength components of the shipborne anomalies are significantly improved with minimal distortion of their shorter wavelength components. The resulting free-air gravity anomaly map yields a more coherent integration of short and long wavelength anomalies compared to that obtained from either the shipborne or satellite data sets separately. The derived free-air anomalies range over about 140 mGals or more in amplitude and regionally correspond with bathymetric undulations in the Ulleung Basin. The gravity lows and highs along the basin’s margin indicate the transition from continental to oceanic crust. However, in the northeastern and central Ulleung Basin, the negative regional correlation between the central gravity high and bathymetric low suggests the presence of shallow denser mantle beneath thinned oceanic crust. A series of gravity highs mark seamounts or volcanic terranes from the Korean Plateau to Oki Island. Gravity modeling suggests underplating by mafic igneous rocks of the northwestern margin of the Ulleung Basin and the transition between continental and oceanic crust. The crust of the central Ulleung Basin is about a 14–15 km thick with a 4–5 km thick sediment cover. It may also include a relatively weakly developed buried fossil spreading ridge with approximately 2 km of relief.     

An integrated geophysical study of Vestbakken Volcanic Province, western Barents Sea continental margin, and adjacent oceanic crust

This paper describes results from a geophysical study in the Vestbakken Volcanic Province, located on the central parts of the western Barents Sea continental margin, and adjacent oceanic crust in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The results are derived mainly from interpretation and modeling of multichannel seismic, ocean bottom seismometer and land station data along a regional seismic profile. The resulting model shows oceanic crust in the western parts of the profile. This crust is buried by a thick Cenozoic sedimentary package. Low velocities in the bottom of this package indicate overpressure. The igneous oceanic crust shows an average thickness of 7.2 km with the thinnest crust (5–6 km) in the southwest and the thickest crust (8–9 km) close to the continent-ocean boundary (COB). The thick oceanic crust is probably related to high mantle temperatures formed by brittle weakening and shear heating along a shear system prior to continental breakup. The COB is interpreted in the central parts of the profile where the velocity structure and Bouguer anomalies change significantly. East of the COB Moho depths increase while the vertical velocity gradient decreases. Below the assumed center for Early Eocene volcanic activity the model shows increased velocities in the crust. These increased crustal velocities are interpreted to represent Early Eocene mafic feeder dykes. East of the zone of volcanoes velocities in the crust decrease and sedimentary velocities are observed at depths of more than 10 km. The amount of crustal intrusions is much lower in this area than farther west. East of the Kn?legga Fault crystalline basement velocities are brought close to the seabed. This fault marks the eastern limit of thick Cenozoic and Mesozoic packages on central parts of the western Barents Sea continental margin.     

南海区域岩石圈的壳-幔耦合关系和纵向演化

南海区域岩石圈由地壳层和上地幔固结层两部分组成。具典型大洋型地壳结构的南海海盆区莫霍面深度为９～１３ｋｍ,并向四周经陆坡、陆架至陆区逐渐加深;陆缘区莫霍面一般为１５～２８ｋｍ,局部区段深达３０～３２ｋｍ,总体呈与水深变化反相关的梯度带;东南沿海莫霍面深约２８～３０ｋｍ,往西北方向逐渐增厚,最大逾３６ｋｍ。南海区域上地幔天然地震面波速度结构明显存在横向分块和纵向分层特征。岩石圈底界深度变化与地幔速度变化正相关;地幔岩石圈厚度与地壳厚度呈互补性变化,莫霍面和岩石圈底界呈立交桥式结构,具有陆区厚壳薄幔—洋区薄壳厚幔的岩石圈壳－幔耦合模式。南海区域白垩纪末以来的岩石圈演化主要表现为陆缘裂离—海底扩张—区域沉降的过程,现存的壳－幔耦合模式显然为岩石圈纵向演化产物,其过程大致可分为白垩纪末至中始新世的陆缘裂离、中始新世晚期至中新世早期的海底扩张和中新世晚期以来的区域沉降等三个阶段。     

Refining the model of South China Sea’s tectonic evolution: evidence from Yinggehai-Song Hong and Qiongdongnan Basins

The Cenozoic Yinggehai-Song Hong and Qiongdongnan Basins together form one of the largest Cenozoic sedimentary basins in SE Asia. Detail studying on the newly released regional seismic data, we observed their basin structure and stratigraphy are clearly different. The structure of the NW–SE elongation of the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin is strongly controlled by the strike–slip faulting of steep Red River Fault. And the basement is covered by heavy sediments from the Red River. However, structures closely related with rifting are imagined on the seismic data from the Qiongdongnan Basin. This rifting and thinning on the northern continental margin of the South China Sea is necessary to be explained by the subduction of a Proto-South China Sea oceanic crust toward the NW Borneo block during the Eocene–Early Miocene. To test how the strike–slip faulting in the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin and rifting in the Qiongdongnan Basin develop together in the northwest corner of the South China Sea, we reconstructed the tectonics of the northwest corner of the South China Sea and test the model with software of MSC MARC. The numerical model results indicate the South China Sea and its surrounding area can be divided into a collision-extrusion tectonic province and a Proto-South China Sea slab pull tectonic province as suggested in previous works. We suggested that offshore Red River Fault in the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin is confirmed as a very important tectonic boundary between these two tectonic provinces.
