中国岩石圈三维结构雏型

根据岩石圈的流变习性,可以将中国岩石圈分成3层,即:弹性上地壳、塑性下地壳和岩石圈地幔.它们的构造各不相同,并且各层间呈现复杂的关系.在新疆地区,上地壳推覆叠置形成以三山四盆为特点的盆山构造,驮伏在一系列东西走向的条带状背型构造与向型构造的下地壳之上.在强烈隆升中的西藏地区,它的周边是差异隆升,但它的腹部地区的弹性上地壳完整未遭破坏.这是因为它的腹部的下地壳和岩石圈地幔发生局部熔融,上地壳被局部熔融的下地壳和岩石圈地幔顶托,以液压的方式整体抬升.华北地区,则是软流圈上升破坏了岩石圈地幔,形成新生地幔与残留地幔并存的蘑菇云岩石圈地幔构造.并由于软流圈的上升,使地壳拉张减薄形成裂谷盆地.中国大陆下除了东北吉辽地区太平洋板块向大陆俯冲外,东部其他地区都没有发现太平洋板块俯冲的证据.中生代以来中国东部发生的岩石圈巨变不是太平洋板块向中国大陆的俯冲而造成的,而是软流圈物质上涌的结果.因此,中国大陆当今的构造动力,是西部由印度板块俯冲推挤和东部东亚-西太平洋软流圈上升构成的二元系统.这两个动力系统的分界是南北地震带.在南北地震带以西整体处在压缩环境中:南北地震带以东,则处在拉张环境中.正是由于应力场由压缩转变成拉张产生的剪应力造成了南北地震带.华北地区所以成为地震活动地区是因为它的岩石圈地幔已被强烈的改造成为蘑菇云构造.热流上升,弹性层急剧减薄,弹性极限下降所致.     

中国东部陆壳洋幔型岩石圈及其形成机制

长期以来中国东部岩石圈具有何种特殊性,其类型是否转变,其形成年代与形成机制等问题一直存在着不同意见。通过系统研究中国东部地质、地球化学与地球物理资料,笔者提出中国东部大陆地壳在侏罗纪晚期,受北美板块WSW向强烈的挤压以及特提斯洋朝东北方向张开的共同作用,使东亚大陆地壳发生逆时针转动,以致中国东部陆壳水平滑移到古老的洋壳或洋幔之上。在中国东部,原来的大陆型岩石圈的边部就出现较薄的陆壳洋幔型岩石圈(陆壳厚30~40 km,洋幔厚40~50 km)。幔源包体的资料表明中国东部岩石圈地幔与软流圈是未经扰动或轻微扰动,它们均发生在太古宙或中新元古代,还没有足够的在中、新生代发生扰动的证据。看来造成上述岩石圈结构类型的转换,不大可能是中、新生代大洋板块俯冲作用的直接结果,也不像是深部热地幔上涌或底侵作用的产物。强构造–岩浆活动源区形成于区域性断层与中地壳或莫霍面的构造滑脱的交切带,只有极少数的断层可深达岩石圈底面。中国东部岩石圈的构造滑脱面主要在中地壳或莫霍面,而不是在软流圈。中国东部中新生代强烈的构造-岩浆作用与内生金属成矿作用,正是受此种特殊岩石圈结构的控制而形成的。总之笔者认为:亚洲与中国大陆东部的岩石圈(包括其中的华北地区)在中、新生代并没有发生"克拉通的裂解",而只是岩石圈的类型发生了变化,出现了一种洋陆过渡类型的陆壳洋幔型岩石圈。     

再论岩石圈地幔蘑菇云构造及其深部成因

根据地球物理资料的分析得到,除了东北吉辽地区太平洋板块向大陆俯冲外,当今中国东部其他地区大陆下都没有俯冲太平洋板块的证据。中生代以来中国东部发生的岩石圈巨变不是太平洋板块向中国大陆的俯冲所造成,而是由于软流圈物质上涌形成蘑菇云构造对岩石圈地幔的改造而引发的重大地质事件。软流圈物质的上涌使岩石圈地幔成为新生地幔与残剩地幔并存的结构,岩石圈被激活,稳定的克拉通地壳褶皱变形,地壳减薄,地震频发,岩浆活动活跃,地面沉降,并形成广袤的西太平洋边缘海。但是岩石圈厚度并未减薄,只是由于岩石圈地幔形成了蘑菇云结构使它的速度降低,与周遍地区的岩石圈结构产生明显差别。蘑菇云地幔发育的地区覆盖整个东南亚西太平洋地区。包括中国东北的中东部、华北的东部、华南的东南缘、马来半岛、印尼、菲律宾、日本海、黄海、东海、南海,加罗林盆地和菲律宾海盆。与这个东南亚西太平洋低速岩石圈地幔相对应,还存在一个巨大的大地椭球面正异常,它应是核幔边界的质量过剩所引起。它与印度洋—西藏地区核幔边界质量亏损引起的负大地椭球面异常孪生,并形成一个控制中国大陆构造的深层动力系统,这个动力系统产生的时代可能为中生代或晚古生代。它们之间的地幔环流造成了东南亚西太平洋岩石圈巨变,并驱动印度板块的北移和青藏高原的隆升。     

中国东部岩石圈减薄研究中的几个问题

中国东部岩石圈减薄是近 10年来国内外研究的热门课题 ,但关于岩石圈减薄的具体时间、机制及其构造控制因素 ,多有争论。根据目前的研究资料 ,文中对上述问题进行了全面的讨论。初步认为该岩石圈减薄发生在晚中生代 ,且在 12 0～ 130Ma的早白垩世达到高潮。综合分析认为 ,岩石圈的减薄与东侧太平洋板块的俯冲有关 ,即大洋板块的俯冲作用导致岩石圈加厚 ,进而发生岩石圈拆沉。Os同位素资料显示 ,由地幔橄榄岩包体所反映的新生代岩石圈地幔具有年轻性质 ,与古生代时的岩石圈地幔截然不同。因此笔者认为 ,中国东部现今的岩石圈地幔并不是减薄后的残留 ,它表明中生代时 ,岩石圈地幔和部分下地壳一起通过拆沉作用而沉入软流圈地幔 ,由此而导致软流圈地幔与地壳的直接接触。幔源岩浆的底侵及软流圈对地壳的直接加热作用 ,使上覆地壳发生大规模的岩浆和成矿作用 ,并导致中国东部中生代时期伸展构造的广泛发育。     

中国岩石圈的基本特征

中国及邻区岩石圈结构构造十分复杂,并具有若干明显的特点:中国大陆地壳西厚东薄、南厚北薄,青藏高原地壳平均厚度为60~65 km,最厚达80 km;东部地区一般为30~35 km,南中国海中央海盆平均只有5 km;中国大陆地壳平均厚度为476 km,大大超过全球地壳392 km的平均厚度。中国大陆及邻区岩石圈亦呈西厚东薄、南厚北薄的变化趋势,青藏高原及西北地区岩石圈平均厚度为165 km,塔里木盆地中东部、帕米尔与昌都地区岩石圈厚度可达180~200 km。大兴安岭-太行山-武陵山以东,包括边缘海为岩石圈减薄区,厚度为50~85 km。西部岩石圈、软流圈“层状结构”明显,反映了板块碰撞汇聚的动力学环境;东部岩石圈、软流圈呈“块状镶嵌结构”,岩石圈薄,软流圈厚,反映了地壳拉张、软流圈物质上涌的特点,并在东亚及西太平洋地区85~250 km深处形成一巨型低速异常体。中国东部上、下地壳及地壳、岩石圈地幔之间普遍存在“上老下新”年龄结构。     

论燕山运动的深部地球动力学本质

对中国东部新生代玄武岩及其包体的矿物学、岩 石学和地球化学研究的总结发现,中国东部在燕山期主要表现为岩石圈的减薄,并在其东部 出现软流圈地幔与地壳直接接触的独特地质现象。早先应该存在的古老岩石圈地幔大多由于 拆沉作用而不复存在,现今岩石圈 地幔主体是在燕山晚期及其以后形成的。因此,中国东部燕山运动的本质就是岩石圈的减薄 乃至岩石圈地幔的消失。研究认为,这种岩石圈减薄的触发因素可能与当时东侧大洋板块的 俯冲有关。软流圈地幔与地壳直接接触的动力学效应是产生强烈的岩浆板底垫托作用及相伴 随的深部地壳的高温变质作用和部分熔融作用,形成巨量岩浆的侵位与喷发,并造成新生地 壳的显著增生和原有地壳的重新调整。同时,这种地球动力学过程将携带大量地幔物质（包 括成矿物质）进入地壳,并形成地壳尺度的大规模流体循环,从而产生大面积、突发性的巨 量成矿作用。     

大洋岩石圈拆沉与大陆下地壳拆沉：不同的机制及意义——兼评“下地壳＋岩石圈地幔拆沉模式”

拆沉作用（delamination）是地球科学中一个重要的科学问题。本文认为,大洋岩石圈拆沉和大陆下地壳拆沉是不一样的：（1）拆沉的物质不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉的物质包括大洋地壳、岩石圈地幔甚至一部分软流圈地幔,它们共同进入地幔深部;而大陆下地壳拆沉仅仅限制在下地壳,不包括岩石圈地幔。（2）拆沉的动力不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲引起的,是地幔对流的产物,因此是一种快速的主动的拆沉;而下地壳拆沉是由于下地壳加厚使下地壳密度增加引起的,还要求其下刚性的岩石圈地幔转变成塑性的软流圈地幔才有可能发生。因此下地壳拆沉要克服许多阻力才能实现,使拆沉成为一个漫长的过程,是慢速的和被动的拆沉。（3）拆沉的过程不同,大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲触发的,俯冲导致碰撞,大洋岩石圈从根部断裂,拆沉进入地幔。大陆下地壳拆沉由地壳加厚开始,使下地壳转变为榴辉岩相;随后,岩石圈地幔减薄,直至全部转化为软流圈地幔;下地壳发生部分熔融,形成大规模的（埃达克质）岩浆,使下地壳榴辉岩的密度大于下伏的地幔,从而引发拆沉。大陆下地壳拆沉不大可能是整体进行的,可能是一块一块地被蚕食,被拆沉的。（4）拆沉后的效液压不同,大洋岩石圈地幔拆沉,使热的软流罪状地幔上涌,从而引发了一系列地质效应;如岩浆活动,地壳抬升,构造松弛以及随后的造山带垮塌等。而下地壳拆沉只引起地壳减薄,高原和山脉垮塌,并不伴有大规模的岩浆活动和地壳抬升等过程。（5）拆沉与岩浆活动的关系不同,主动拆沉导致大规模岩浆活动,而被拆沉是在大规模岩浆活动的基础上开始的。此外,文中还对“下地壳＋岩石圈地幔拆沉”模式提出了质疑,认为该模式有许多难以理解的问题和太多推测的成分,而且与现在保存的地质事实不符。     

壳幔作用与花岗岩成因——以中国东南沿海为例

笔者在近年来的中国东南沿海花岗岩成因研究中,注意到下地壳之下的岩石圈地幔与下地壳之间必然有着十分密切的关系,认识到壳幔作用的重要形式是发生于壳－幔接口的玄武岩浆的底侵作用,它涉及地幔对地壳在“成分”和“热”两方面的贡献。研究表明,本区底侵作用十分发育,是中国东南大陆边缘陆壳演化的重要 过程。中国东南部中生代早期形成的花岗岩多为Ｓ－型花岗岩,它们主要是板块强烈挤压和导致地壳增厚,陆壳重熔形成的岩石。而且这期大规模花岗岩浆活动是与弧后拉张、岩石圈减薄 软流圈上涌作用直接有美．早期太平洋板块向欧亚大陆板块俯冲对大陆裂解起了诱导作用中国东南部晚中生代缝合带的年龄为100～11OMa,可能代表了晚中生代构造－岩浆作用由挤压,地壳增厚,陆壳重熔向扩张岩石圈减薄一双蜂式岩浆作用机制的转变年龄。     

渤海湾盆地晚中生代以来伸展模式及动力学机制

通过分析盆地区大陆伸展模型参数、火成岩地球化学特征时空演化、岩石圈分层伸展几何学和运动学、应力场-变形场的匹配和演化,文章对渤海湾盆地晚中生代以来伸展断陷的动力学过程进行了系统讨论。晚中生代,盆地北、西部以变质核杂岩模式伸展,南、东部以宽裂陷模式伸展;在岩石圈伸展过程中,地壳变形方式为简单剪切,岩石圈地幔变形方式为纯剪切;盆地处于洋壳俯冲背景下弧后伸展区,盆地及西、北部隆起区岩石圈地幔为EM1型,而南、东部隆起区受扬子板块俯冲改造成类似EM2型;盆地变形的力源为板块相对运动产生的引张力,以及郯庐断裂的走滑作用。新生代,渤海湾盆地以窄裂陷模式伸展,地壳和岩石圈地幔变形方式均为纯剪,但岩石圈地幔伸展强度大于地壳;盆地处于大陆内裂谷环境,软流圈地幔上涌并改造岩石圈地幔,且盆地裂陷的力源以软流圈地幔上涌产生的引张力为主。     

瑞雷-泰勒不稳定性与中国东部岩石圈——三论岩石圈地幔蘑菇云构造

本文讨论引起中国东部岩石圈巨变的动力。认为较重的岩石圈地幔位于较轻的软流圈之上形成的瑞雷-泰勒不稳定性驱动岩石圈地幔流动是东部岩石圈巨变的构造动力。由于瑞雷-泰勒不稳定性只存在于中年期大陆,老年期与青年期大陆都不存在瑞雷-泰勒不稳定性,因而只有像中国东部那样的中年期大陆才能发生蘑菇云地幔构造。     

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。     

On the consistency of proposed models for the Pyrenees with the structure of the eastern parts of the belt

The structure of the eastern Pyrenees consists mainly of south-directed thrusts involving basement and cover rocks. An antiformal stack developed by the piling up of basement thrust sheets which outcrop in the Axial zone. These structures account for a thin-skinned thrust model rather than a vertical fault model in which the Axial zone would be essentially autochthonous, and the North-Pyrenean fault the axial plane of a fan thrust system. New data from the Eastern Pyrenees and the thin-skinned model suggest that(1) the structure east of the Pedraforca nappe is similar to that of the Central Pyrenees; (2) the cover rocks of the South-Pyrenean units and of the Axial zone-after restoration—built up a northwards-thickening prism consistent with the existence of a unique Pyrenean sedimentary basin during Mesozoic time; (3) the Axial zone is only a complex antiformal stack developed as a part of South-Pyrenean system related to the Paleogene thrusting-tectonics. The Axial zone palaeogeographic area had no special meaning during Mesozoic time.     

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.
