依据古地磁基本原理,结合岩石圈板块在地球表面的欧拉旋转,通过赤平投影作图,探讨了岩石圈板块漂移引起古剩磁偏角的变化规律,得出古剩磁偏角的变化与岩石圈板块所处的半球、欧拉极所处的区间以及岩石圈板块东西向运动分量相关,在现今地理坐标下的古剩磁偏角是地质历史时期岩石圈板块多期活动引起古剩磁偏角变化的综合结果。由于欧拉极主要分布在绝对占优的两个区间,因此,岩石圈板块运动主要是欧拉极分布在这两个区间的旋转运动,而当欧拉极分布在这两个区间且当岩石圈板块所处的半球的东西向运动分量方向相同时,古剩磁偏角的变化规律较一致。进而可依据欧拉极分布在这两个区间岩石圈板块旋转引起古剩磁偏角变化规律,结合相邻两个时代形成的岩石古剩磁偏角和倾角之差,以及相对较老岩石形成时所处的半球,可定性确定岩石圈板块在这一地质历史时期的运动方向,为构造应力场演化提供一定的依据,使古地磁数据在大地构造研究中发挥出更大作用。  相似文献

帕米尔-西昆仑地区新生代古地磁结果及其构造意义   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
通过对帕米尔-西昆仑地区新生代地层51个采点古地磁样品系统的古地磁测试,获得了研究区新生代较可靠的古地磁数据。尽管上述研究剖面因为单斜地层无法对所获得的古地磁结果进行褶皱检验,但从实验结果可以看出,其地理坐标下平均的高温特征剩磁方向远离现代地磁场方向,且和田朗如乡古近纪、策勒恰恰古近纪、叶城柯克亚乡新近纪剖面所获得的古地磁结果具有正、反2种极性,由此,我们认为以上剖面的高温特征剩磁很可能代表了岩石形成时的原生剩磁方向。结合研究区已有的古地磁数据,认为在新生代印度板块向北挤压作用下,塔里木地块西缘地区(帕米尔高原东北缘)早白垩世-晚白垩世始相对欧亚大陆在古地磁误差范围内并没有发生明显的构造旋转作用(1°~1.6°),而始新世以来相对欧亚大陆则发生了明显的逆时针旋转(22°~38°),该地区的逆时针旋转作用可能与塔拉斯-费尔干纳断裂新生代以来的右旋走滑作用有关,而在帕米尔高原以东则主要以沿大型走滑断裂的走滑作用为主,并没有发生明显的旋转作用。  相似文献

Paleomagnetic data available from the Carpatho-Pannonian region are unevenly distributed. At some places, observations are sporadic, at others the concentration is high. In the latter case it is possible to decide whether the movements indicated are related to plate (microplate) displacements, or are of local significance. The paleomagnetically best-known parts of the Carpatho-Pannonian region belong to the Transdanubian Central Range, to the Cserhát-Mátra-Bükk area and to the Mecsek-Villány zone. Comparison among paleomagnetic data sets, characterizing each of them, reveals fundamental differences, i.e. points to their independent displacements during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Most of the isolated observations can be tied to one of the above mentioned paleomagnetic units via coeval, mostly late Cretaceous-Cenozoic data. Thus, further subdivision of the Carpatho-Pannonian area, at least in the Cenozoic, does not seem required by available paleomagnetic observations.

The Caucasus is very important for our understanding of tectonic evolution of the Alpine belt, but only a few reliable paleomagnetic results were reported from this region so far. We studied a collection of more than 300 samples of middle Eocene volcanics and volcano-sedimentary rocks from 10 localities in the Adjaro–Trialet tectonic zone (ATZ) in the western part of the Caucasus. Stepwise thermal demagnetization isolates a characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) in 19 sites out of 31 studied. ChRM reversed directions prevail, and a few vectors of normal polarity are antipodal to the reversed ones after tilt correction. The fold test is positive too, and we consider the ChRM primary. Analysis of Tertiary declinations and strikes of Alpine folds in the Adjaro–Trialet zone and the Pontides in Northern Turkey shows a large data scatter; Late Cretaceous data from the same region, however, reveal good correlation between paleomagnetic and structural data. Combining Late Cretaceous and Tertiary data indicates oroclinal bending of the Alpine structures which are locally complicated with different deformation. The overall mean Tertiary inclination is slightly shallower than the reference Eurasian inclination recalculated from one apparent polar wander path (APWP), but agrees with other. This finding is in accord with geological evidence on moderate post-Eocene shortening across the Caucasus. We did not find any indication of long-lived paleomagnetic anomalies, such as to Cenozoic anomalously shallow inclinations further to the east in Central Asia.  相似文献

The Denali fault system forms an arc, convex to the north, across southern Alaska. In the central Alaska Range, the system consists of a northern Hines Creek strand and a southern McKinley strand, up to 30 km apart. The Hines Creek fault may preserve a record of the early history of the fault system. Strong contrasts between juxtaposed lower Paleozoic rocks appear to require large dextral strike-slip or a combination of dipslip and strike-slip displacements along this fault. Thus the fault system may mark a reactivated suture zone between continental rocks to the north and a late Paleozoic island arc to the south, as suggested by Richter and Jones (1973). Major movements on the Hines Creek fault ceased by the Late Cretaceous, but local dip-slip movements continued into the Cenozoic.The McKinley fault is an active dextral strike-slip fault with a mean Holocene displacement rate of 1–2 cm/y. Post-Late Cretaceous dextral offset on this fault is probably at least 30 km and possibly as great as 400 km. Patterns of early Tertiary folding and reverse faulting indicate that the McKinley fault was active at that time and suggest that this fault developed shortly after strike-slip activity ceased on the Hines Creek fault. Oligocene — middle Miocene tectonic stability and late Miocene—Pliocene uplift of crustal blocks may reflect periods of quiescence and activity, on the McKinley fault.The two strands of the Denali fault divide the central Alaska Range into northern, central, and southern terranes. During the Paleozoic—Mesozoic there is evidence for at least two episodes of compressive deformation in the northern terrane, four in the central terrane, and two in the southern. During each, the axis of maximum compressive strain was subhorizontal and about north—south. This pattern suggests a Paleozoic and Mesozoic setting dominated by plate convergence, despite the possible large pre-Late Cretaceous lateral movement on the Hines Creek fault.The Cenozoic pattern of faulting and folding appears compatible with a plate tectonic model of (1) rapid northward movement of the Pacific plate relative to Alaska during the early Tertiary; (2) slow northwestward movement of the Pacific plate during the Oligicene and (3) rapid northwestward movement of the Pacific plate from the end of the Oligocene to the present.  相似文献

The Hawaiian–Emperor Seamount chain records the motion of the Pacific Plate relative to the Hawaiian mantle hotspot for 80 m.y. A notable feature of the chain is the pronounced bend at its middle. This bend had been widely credited to a change in plate motion, but recent research suggests a change in hotspot motion as an alternative. Existing paleomagnetic data from the Emperor Chain suggest that the hotspot moved south during the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary, but reached its current latitude by the age of the bend. Thus, data from area of the bend are important for understanding changes in plume latitude. In this study, we analyze the magnetic anomalies of five seamounts (Annei, Daikakuji-W, Daikakuji- E, Abbott, and Colahan) in the region of the bend. These particular seamounts were chosen because they have been recently surveyed to collect multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data positioned with GPS navigation. Inversions of the magnetic and bathymetric data were performed to determine the mean magnetization of each seamount and from these results, paleomagnetic poles and paleolatitudes were calculated. Three of the five seamounts have reversed magnetic polarities (two are normal) and four contain a small volume of magnetic polarity opposite to the main body, consistent with formation during the Early Cenozoic, a time of geomagnetic field reversals. Although magnetization inhomogene ties can degrade the accuracy of paleomagnetic poles calculated from such models, the seamounts give results consistent with one another and with other Pacific paleomagnetic data of approximately the same age. Seamount paleolatitudes range from 13.7 to 23.7, with an average of 19.4 ± 7.4 (2σ). These values are indistinguishable from the present-day paleolatitude of the Hawaiian hotspot. Together with other paleomagnetic and geologic evidence, these data imply that the Hawaiian hotspot has moved little in latitude during the past 45 m.y.  相似文献

白垩纪以来中国西部地体运动的古地磁证据和问题   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
地质证据表明中国西部各地体在白垩纪之前已经增生到欧亚大陆之上 ,但这些地体自白垩纪以来的古地磁极位置与稳定欧亚大陆的古地磁极位置存在较大差异 ,对其最可能的解释是发生在晚白垩世与古新世之交 (约 6 5Ma)印度板块和欧亚大陆之间的碰撞及其后印度板块的持续北向挤压 ,使得这些地体之间以及这些地体与稳定欧亚大陆之间发生了相对位移和地体内部的变形。文中利用现有的古地磁研究成果 ,计算了自白垩纪以来中国西部各地体与欧亚稳定大陆之间的南北向相对位移量。塔里木地块和柴达木地体的古地磁数据表明 ,阿尔金断裂至少经历了四期活动。在欧亚地区普遍存在的第三纪磁倾角偏缓现象 ,很可能反映了在该地区长期存在非偶极子场。  相似文献

新疆及周边古地磁研究与构造演化   总被引:20,自引:3,他引:17  
新疆古地磁研究始于1979年,20年来通过对塔里木、准噶尔、昆仑山等地区的古地磁研究,获得了古生代—新生代塔里木板块、准噶尔板块和青藏板块古地磁极移曲线和古纬度资料。震旦纪以前塔里木板块尚未形成,晚震旦世在赤道附近各地块才联合成塔里木板块的主体部分。后经历了两次快速北移,一次快速南移。准噶尔板块早古生代为一个独立的微板块,在晚古生代与哈萨克斯坦板块联合成一体,组成了哈萨克斯坦-准噶尔板块;塔里木板块震旦纪时还属冈瓦纳大陆的一个组成部分,早古生代逐渐脱离了冈瓦纳大陆,快速向北漂移,晚古生代早期与准噶尔板块首次在东部碰撞,成为劳亚大陆南缘的一个增生体。将介于劳亚大陆和冈瓦纳大陆之间的古陆体,称之谓华夏古陆群。晚古生代末—中生代早期,华夏古陆群先后增生到劳亚大陆南缘;早古生代早期古特提斯洋尚未形成,诸地块处于冈瓦纳大陆范围内,位于南半球的赤道附近。在中-晚志留世,这些地(板)块才快速向北漂移,由于洋扩张,形成了古特提斯洋,构成了三大陆块群夹两个大洋的古地理格局;二叠纪是特提斯构造演化关键时期,晚侏罗-早白垩世昆仑地块与柴达木地块和塔里木地块发生碰撞,联合成一体。早侏罗世早期柴达木地块等与塔里木地块发生碰撞联合,造成了古特提斯洋消亡。早侏罗世中期,开  相似文献

Earthquake foci suggest that the India plate has been underthrust in the Sunda Arc to depths increasing from little more than 200 km beneath central Sumatra to well over 600 km beneath the Java Sea. Geological differences between Sumatra and Java do not fully account for the anomaly. The explanation would appear to lie with an oblique India-Eurasia convergence caused by the rotation, relative to Eurasia, of the Sunda backarc area. Sinistral movements on several southeast-trending wrench faults in the region between Yunnan and Java appear to have been responsible. Backarc rotation also explains the pattern of Cenozoic volcanicity in Sumatra, and resolves controversy over the nature of the Andaman Basin, which may be interpreted as a rhombochasm forming behind a locally divergent plate margin.  相似文献

西昆仑山前晚新生代地貌与沉积特征记录了西昆仑山及青藏高原西北缘的隆升过程。利用沉积学、地貌学、古地磁研究结果,对西昆仑晚新生代构造活动进行了探讨。约25Ma,西昆仑山前沉积面貌发生显著变化,反映西昆仑山整体开始隆升;约5Ma时,西昆仑山前磨拉石发育,表明西昆仑山开始快速隆升。古地磁结果表明:始新世—中新世西昆仑有显著的旋转运动,而第四纪以来水平挤压造成的垂直运动为主,没有明显的旋转运动。河流阶地发育显示,西昆仑地区约在1.2Ma时河流下切开始形成阶地,第四纪中晚期以来西昆仑地区构造抬升幅度与频率加快,全新世中期(约5kaB.P.)有一次快速隆升过程。  相似文献

青藏高原东北缘构造变形研究是认识整个青藏高原隆升过程、机制以及印欧板块碰撞远程效应的重要途径。受控于昆仑山断裂、阿尔金断裂、祁连山断裂的柴达木盆地,新生代地层发育,较完整地记录了高原东北缘的构造变形信息。尤其柴达木盆地西部地区,构造变形强烈,晚新生代地层出露完整,是研究其晚新生代构造变形历史及驱动机制的理想地区。文中应用平衡剖面和古地磁构造旋转方法,结合最新的磁性地层年代,定量恢复该地区的构造变形历史。结果表明,在挤压应力的控制下该地区自22 Ma以来,构造变形主要表现为地层缩短与构造旋转,且其强度呈阶段性增长,具体又可划分为3个阶段:22~9.1 Ma构造活动平静期、9.1~2.65 Ma构造变形相对加强期、2.65 Ma以来构造变形顶峰期。研究表明,造成柴西地区地层持续缩短和顺时针旋转的关键推动力是印欧板块晚新生代的持续向北推挤、昆仑山-祁曼塔格山向柴达木盆地强烈挤压推覆以及阿尔金左旋走滑断裂大规模的复活。  相似文献

莺歌海盆地周边区域构造演化   总被引:42,自引:0,他引:42  
莺歌海盆地周边新生代区域构造演化综合分析表明,该舅地形成和演化构造应力场分四个阶段:第一阶段,古新世末至早渐新世印支地块快速向南东方向挤出,同时伴随着地块的顺时针旋转运动。第二阶段,晚渐新世至早中新世印支地块向南东挤出运动逐渐减弱,华南地块整体仍然相对稳定。莺歌海盆地处于左旋剪切状态。第三阶段,中、晚中新世随着印度地块逐渐楔入欧亚板块内部,印支半岛的挤出运动进一步减弱。至中中新世末,华南地块整体开始挤出。第四阶段,上新世一第四纪印支地块相对稳定,华南地块挤出运动继续进行,两地块间的相对运动呈右旋剪切运动。莺歌海盆地新生代的构造应力场演化受太平洋板块、印度与欧亚板块之间相互作用控制。其中,印度与欧亚板块碰撞作用所导致的印支地块与华南地块的相对运动,是决定莺歌海盆地新生代构造运动应力场变化的主要因素。  相似文献

New paleomagnetic data are obtained for Middle Devonian rocks of Central Tuva. The rocks contain one-, two-, or three-component magnetization. The low-temperature (LT) components of magnetization are close to the directions of the present-day or Cenozoic magnetic field in Tuva. Based on the directions of the high-temperature (HT) components of magnetization, which were distinguished in the magnetite spectrum of blocking temperatures of up to 580оС, we revealed a prefolding magnetization of different polarity. The time when Middle Devonian rocks acquired the prefolding HT component of magnetization almost does not differ from the time of rock formation. Middle Devonian sequences were formed at low latitudes (19°–25° N). We calculated the Middle Devonian paleomagnetic pole (Φ =–13°, Λ = 106°, A95 = 7), which can be used to describe the movement of the Caledonian block in Central Asia, and probably Siberia, if these blocks had been tectonically coupled by the Devonian.  相似文献

《China Geology》2018,1(4):522-539
Continental China has moved dextral Eastward since Cenozoic time, driven by the collision of the Indian with the Eurasian plate. Evidence for this comes from landscape evolution, the distribution of earthquake epicenters, Cenozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, and the measurement of GPS velocity vectors, the distribution of crustal stress, paleomagnetic data, and deep mantle structure, among others. This movement commenced around 40 Ma, coupled with thickened lithosphere and widespread stress release along strike-slip faults that bound the continental Chinese block. Because of continued Northward subduction of the Indian plate, manifestation of the dextral movement has intensified since 25 Ma. Far-reaching effects include extensive strike-slip movement on the Tan-Lu fault in Eastern China, formation of the Dabie ultrahigh pressure metamorphic terrane, extensive thrust faults in East China, delamination and thickening of the lithosphere of South China, a possible tectonic doubling of the Middle-Lower Yangtze Valley metallogenic belt, and the formation of the Japan, Huanghai (East China), and South China Sea.  相似文献

Neogene rift system configuration for the back-arc of southwest Japan, southern rim of the Japan Sea, is argued on the basis of reflection seismic interpretation. Divergent rifting and subsequent contraction provoked by an arc–arc collisional event are manifested by the formation of faulted grabens and their inverted deformation, respectively. We identified the following four Cenozoic tectonic epochs as a decomposition process of the eastern Eurasian margin based on reliable paleomagnetic data: (1) Plate margin rearrangement on a regional left-lateral fault through southwest Japan and Sikhote Alin, which constituted a continuous geologic province before the early Tertiary differential motion; (2) Early Tertiary clockwise rotation (>20°) of the east Tan-Lu block relative to the North China block; (3) Oligocene to early Miocene divergent rifting and spreading of the Japan Sea, which divided southwest Japan from the east Tan-Lu block; (4) Middle Miocene bending and back-arc inversion of southwest Japan caused by collision with the Izu-Bonin arc. According to the estimation of relative motions during these events, a paleogeographic reconstruction is presented through Cenozoic time.  相似文献

NEW MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND SEDIMENTOLOGIC RESULTS FROM TERTIARY SEDIMENTS OF THE HOH XIL BASIN, NORTHERN QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CENOZOIC TECTONIC HISTORY OF THE TIBET PLATEAU  相似文献

Continental transform boundaries in detail consist of zones of fault-bounded blocks adjacent to the principal active transform fault(s). Relative movement of these blocks in response to plate boundary motions gives rise to differential vertical displacements of the earth's crust and hence exercises a degree of control on the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins adjacent to the transform boundary. The Cenozoic sedimentary basins of southwest New Zealand have several features in common that may be attributed directly to the movement on the adjacent plate boundary. However, their location, detailed sedimentary evolution and tectonic development may best be understood in the context of the relative displacements of a number of fault-bounded blocks, in response to the plate motions. In particular, movements of the Fiordland block, bounded by the Alpine and Moonlight fault zones, exercised a large measure of influence on the development of the basins. The tectonic model presented is consistent with plate boundary motions inferred from marine magnetic anomalies while at the same time providing an explanation for many of the more detailed features of the basins.  相似文献

第三纪的板块运动驱动着澳大利亚的气候和植被进行演化。广布的湿润森林区是澳大利亚老第三纪的特征。一直到始新世 ,生物多样性都在不断地提高。毫无疑问 ,这是澳大利亚由高南纬区向北部中纬区运移的结果。从始新世到上新世 ,澳大利亚的气候总体上要比现在湿润 ,但降水量季节性变化的增强推动了中新世以后硬叶植物和旱生植物的发展。上新世晚期似乎与第四纪一样 ,都出现过周期性干旱。这种干旱与冰期条件有关 ,至少由南澳大利亚晚第四纪的记录可以认识到这一点 ,澳大利亚的这段历史与东亚的气候变迁是同步发生的。在东亚 ,印—澳板块的运动致使青藏高原抬升 ,从而引发了区内乃至全球气候的巨变。穿越赤道区的季风和信风的环流格局 ,致使新第三纪和第四纪中国与澳大利亚的气候系统的相关性更强。  相似文献
