青藏高原东南缘察隅地区晚新生代岩体差异抬升-剥露和高原扩展的裂变径迹证据

对青藏高原东南缘晚新生代抬升扩展的研究是联系青藏高原周缘陆内变形发展特征的重要问题。通过藏东南察隅地区的磷灰石裂变径迹分析揭示,自北向南的德姆拉岩体、阿扎贡拉岩体和察隅岩体受控于断裂构造而表现出的晚新生代差异抬升—剥露是高原向周缘扩展的一种指示。抬升—剥露的时序为15.1～13.7Ma、6.3～4.3Ma、3.5～3.3Ma、1.9～1.7Ma和1.1～1.0Ma,活动性总体上向南扩展和迁移。晚中新世(约6～5Ma)是岩体抬升—剥露速率出现转折的关键时期,在藏东南—滇西北地区具有区域响应,并可能奠定了现今青藏高原东南缘的地势发展格局。从青藏高原东北部到东南部,高原晚新生代陆内变形向周缘的扩展和增生表现出多阶段、准同时和不均衡的发展特性。     

上扬子西部地区新生代构造活动的低温热年代学特征

上扬子西部地区磷灰石裂变径迹年龄数据的统计为该区的新生代构造活动建立了宏观的图景,初步构建了区域上新生代构造活动和陆内变形的时空联系。揭示新生代构造活动在时间上存在大约61～43 Ma和大约24 Ma以来两个阶段的显著差异,约24 Ma是上扬子板块西部地区新生代构造活动显著增强的一个重要转折时期。在空间上大致以松潘-安县为界构成南、北分段。构造活动和区域抬升-剥露总体表现为南强北弱,西强东弱的格局。南段是新生代活动的主控区,以强烈地构造抬升和构造改造为主,而北段总体上受制于白垩纪的抬升-剥露,新生代以来主要表现出剥蚀和弱构造改造的特征。新生代的构造活动受制于青藏高原抬升作用向东扩展的影响。上扬子西部地区新生代构造活动在一定程度上制约了该区油气的圈闭环境和成藏条件。     

哀牢山-红河剪切带渐新世的构造体制转换与剥露历史:来自哀牢山南段磷灰石裂变径迹的证据

哀牢山-红河剪切带是东南亚重要的构造边界,其记录了青藏高原东南缘新生代以来的陆内变形和地貌演化。本次研究对该剪切带哀牢山南段开展了基于LA-ICPMS法测试的磷灰石裂变径迹低温年代学分析。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄数据和热史反演模拟揭示哀牢山段存在晚始新世-早中新世(40～20Ma)的快速剥露事件,而早中新世(大约20Ma)之后处于稳定的慢速剥露过程。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄-海拔分布曲线特征暗示:快速剥露机制存在差异,早期阶段(40～26Ma)的剥露过程受控于伸展为主的左旋走滑体制影响;晚阶段(26～20Ma)的快速剥露归因于简单剪切为主的左旋走滑剪切体制,上述结果暗示哀牢山-红河构造带在晚渐新世发生了一次重要的构造体制转换,即从走滑伸展变形转换为简单剪切变形。哀牢山杂岩带北段、中段、南段冷却路径对比,表明北-中段可能存在两阶段快速冷却作用,而南段只发生单一快速冷却作用;结合青藏高原东南缘低温热年代学数据,暗示自中-晚中新世,青藏高原中、下地壳物质可能向东南缘扩展,并已到达哀牢山中段,同时诱发哀牢山杂岩带以北广大地区的抬升和快速冷却。     

准噶尔盆地周缘山脉抬升-剥露过程的FT证据

本文主要通过磷灰石裂变径迹测年结果结合温度.时间热模拟反演的研究,探讨准噶尔盆地周缘造山带的抬升.剥露作用过程及其差异性特征.研究结果表明,准噶尔周缘造山带自晚三叠世至新近纪至少经历三次大的抬升-剥露事件,结合样品位置分析,推测准噶尔盆地周缘造山带的抬升-剥露作用具有明显不均一特征.始于晚三叠-早侏罗世的山脉抬升作用范围有限,仅局限于准噶尔东北缘;但是,发生在中-晚白垩世(～115～95Ma)的这期构造抬升作用在盆地周缘的所有山系都有记录;古近纪早期(～60～50Ma)在准噶尔盆地北缘有一期隆升事件,但该事件也仅仅局限于盆地北缘;新近纪～25Ma以来发生在巴里坤(博格达山)的局部抬升冷却事件,仅仅局限于天山北缘,而此时准噶尔盆地的东西两侧山脉可能相对稳定.推测该期抬升事件应是印-亚碰撞的远程效应在天山地区的构造表现.     

阿尔金-祁连山晚新生代隆升-剥露过程——来自岩屑磷灰石裂变径迹热年代学的制约

阿尔金-祁连山位于青藏高原北缘, 其新生代的隆升-剥露过程记录了高原变形和向北扩展的历史, 对探讨高原隆升动力学具有重要意义。本文采用岩屑磷灰石裂变径迹测年分析, 利用岩屑的统计特征限定阿尔金-祁连山新生代的隆升-剥露过程。磷灰石裂变径迹测试结果表明, 阿尔金-祁连山地区存在4个阶段的抬升冷却: 21.1~19.4 Ma、13.5~10.5 Ma、9.0~7.3 Ma、4.3~3.8 Ma。其中, 4.3~3.8 Ma抬升冷却事件仅体现在祁连山地区, 9.0~7.3 Ma抬升冷却事件在区内普遍存在, 且9.0~7.3 Ma隆升-剥露造就了现代阿尔金-祁连山的地貌。区域资料分析表明, 9~7 Ma(或者8~6 Ma)期间, 青藏高原北缘、东缘, 甚至整个中国西部地区发生了大规模、区域性的抬升, 中国现今"西高"的构造地貌形态可能于当时开始形成。阿尔金-祁连山地区4期抬升冷却事件与青藏高原的隆升阶段有很好的对应关系, 应该是对印度-欧亚板块碰撞的响应。     

东喜马拉雅构造结更新世两期抬升-剥露事件的裂变径迹证据

对出露在东喜马拉雅构造结南迦巴瓦地区那木拉峰的片麻岩进行了系统垂向上的磷灰石裂变径迹取样分析,在3393～4537m取样高程内的10个样品获得的磷灰石裂变径迹分析结果显示:中值年龄在0.64～1.58Ma之间,平均封闭径迹长度在14.0～15.2μm之间,标准偏差在1.0～3.5μm之间。其中,径迹长度数据为这一地区的首次报道,可以为数据分析的可靠性提供重要保证。通过利用裂变径迹的"香蕉图"模式分析,在这批年龄结果中进一步区分出了代表混合年龄的样品组分和代表事件年龄的样品组分。事件年龄揭示这一地区在更新世有两期抬升-剥露事件的记录,时间分别为1.10±0.24Ma和0.65±0.08Ma。而磷灰石裂变径迹年龄在剖面线上的空间分布显示山体内部的高海拔地区年龄较新,向边缘低海拔地区逐渐变老的趋势。这种分布特征与早期多雄拉-那木拉褶皱构造变形无关,是东喜马拉雅构造结地区正处于快速抬升-剥露过程中的一种指示。据地温梯度30～40℃/km推算的1Ma以来的平均视剥露速率约为2.43～3.24mm/a。而结合前人的研究成果分析,这一地区快速地抬升-剥露过程可能自3Ma已发生。东喜马拉雅构造结1.10Ma和0.65Ma的抬升-剥露事件可以与青藏高原隆起过程中周缘地区的"昆黄运动"、气候转型和沙漠化等同期响应事件在年代学上建立联系。青藏高原的周缘隆起在更新世时期表现出的活动响应具有准同时的特征。     

宁武盆地及周缘岩体裂变径迹对山西地块中—新生代构造演化的约束

宁武盆地及周缘岩体的抬升剥蚀对于山西地块中—新生代构造演化具有重要的指示意义。本文对宁武盆地及周缘岩体进行裂变径迹分析,磷灰石裂变径迹年龄97～47 Ma,锆石裂变径迹年龄161～141 Ma。裂变径迹记录了早白垩世早期(145～125 Ma)、晚白垩世(85～70 Ma)、古新世晚期—始新世早期(59～53 Ma)和渐新世晚期(28 Ma)的4次抬升剥蚀事件。综合分析山西地块的裂变径迹数据,表明隆起区晚古生代以来发生了多期抬升剥蚀事件。山西地块中—新生代构造演化具有时空差异。周缘岩体样品的裂变径迹年龄大于盆地内沉积地层样品的年龄,指示了周缘山体先于盆地抬升剥蚀。晋东北抬升剥蚀时限早于晋西南。山西裂谷系西南端裂开较早。裂谷系发育具有由南向北扩展的特征,这与地层保留记录相一致。山西地块现今地貌格局是在中生代发育一系列雁行状排列的复背斜和复向斜构造基础上发展而成的。     

吕梁山脉中北段元古代花岗岩体隆升演化的裂变径迹证据

研究区位处华北克拉通中部造山带,在中-新生代经历了多次构造体制与区域构造属性的重大转变。对吕梁山脉中北段古元古代花岗岩体隆升剥露的定量化研究,可以更加整体、直观的认识中部构造带内基底岩石隆升剥露作用,有助于了解华北克拉通演化过程。同时能为周围能源型盆地的形成演化提供佐证,深化对盆地资源赋存条件的认识,从而为资源的开发提供基础证据。通过对研究区古元古代花岗岩体系统的裂变径迹热年代学采样分析,揭示了基底岩石初始隆升剥露作用发生在晚白垩世至新生代早期,主要有两个阶段:白垩世晚期约88~77Ma和新生代早期约65~53Ma。之后,样品处在磷灰石退火带之上,虽有短暂的再次埋藏,但总体一直处在抬升剥露作用下。磷灰石裂变径迹数据和热史模拟表明,不同岩体抬升剥蚀在时空上具有非均衡性,晚白垩世早期,中部关帝山岩体呈穹隆状隆升剥蚀。北部芦芽山岩体和云中山岩体晚白垩世遭受挤压,发生隆褶变形。新生代以来,岩体加速隆升,早期(65~53Ma)是岩体抬升-剥露速率出现转折的关键时期,与东西两侧相邻断陷的发育具成因上的耦合联系,在华北地块中部地区具有区域响应,并可能奠定了现今吕梁山脉中北段的地势发展格局。     

循化-化隆盆地晚白垩世以来盆山耦合过程: 来自物源与磷灰石裂变径迹年代学分析的证据

循化-化隆盆地新生代沉积及盆地基底和周缘山系磷灰石裂变径迹年代学分析揭示了青藏高原东北缘晚白垩世以来经历过3期隆升剥露事件: (1)盆地基底及拉脊山和西秦岭北缘构造带磷灰石裂变径迹年龄分析普遍记录了晚白垩世-始新世中期相对快速的区域性的隆升剥露事件, 西秦岭北缘快速抬升的起始时间为84Ma, 受控于向北的逆冲抬升; 向北到循化-化隆盆地中部的拉目峡抬升的起始时间为69Ma; 更北的拉脊山一带快速抬升期主要为40~50Ma, 从而反映晚白垩世-始新世中期的快速抬升由南向北逐渐扩展.这一期构造隆升事件导致循化-化隆盆地和临夏盆地缺失了北部西宁-民和盆地古近纪所具有的西宁群沉积.隆升剥露结束于31Ma左右, 此时化隆-循化盆地向东与同时期的临夏盆地相连为一个统一的大型西秦岭山前盆地, 两者具有相同的构造、沉积演化史, 因此循化-化隆盆地他拉组底部地层年龄最老不会超过临夏盆地最老地层的古地磁年龄, 即29Ma.(2)渐新世晚期约26Ma拉脊山开始双向逆冲隆升, 并可能延续到中新世早期约21Ma, 隆升作用使循化-化隆盆地成为挟持于拉脊山逆冲带和西秦岭构造带之间的山前挤压型前陆盆地, 循化-化隆盆地开始大规模沉积巨厚的他拉组冲积扇相粗碎屑岩.(3)通过循化-化隆盆地咸水河组和临夏组的沉积相分析、古流方向和砾石成分分析, 揭示出拉脊山构造带在中新世8Ma左右发生的最大规模的双向逆冲隆升事件, 这次事件直接导致循化-化隆盆地由前陆挤压盆地转变为山间盆地, 形成现今青藏高原东北缘的盆山地貌基本格局.      

秭归盆地中新生代构造-热演化的裂变径迹约束

通过磷灰石裂变径迹年龄的测定以及时间-温度热历史的反演,揭示了秭归盆地中新生代构造-热演化过程。结果表明:秭归盆地自120 Ma左右开始缓慢隆升,主要经历了3个强烈的隆升阶段:(1)晚白垩世100~80 Ma开始强烈隆升,是燕山期造山运动在该地区作用的结果,也可能是黄陵背斜晚白垩世强烈抬升向西延伸的响应;(2)晚始新世40 Ma的强烈隆升,可能是印度板块和亚欧板块碰撞初期作用的远程响应;(3)中新世中期到末期10~5 Ma的强烈隆升,是青藏高原东部边界向东扩展及亚洲季风气候变化的响应。秭归盆地内部自白垩纪以来一直隆升剥蚀,展现出与盆地边缘构造-热演化的差异。通过与黄陵背斜东部的当阳盆地构造-热事件的对比,暗示了黄陵背斜在晚白垩世已隆升剥露至地表,分割了两个盆地。晚侏罗世—早白垩世,秦岭大规模挤压变形逆冲推覆构造作用使得米仓山—汉南隆起和黄陵背斜地区成为中上扬子地区磷灰石裂变径迹年龄相对最大的区域,江南—雪峰陆内造山作用向西北方向的扩展使得湘鄂西地区向川东地区磷灰石裂变径迹年龄具有整体变年轻的趋势。晚白垩世以来太平洋板块俯冲挤压效应使得川东褶皱带周缘及川东北磷灰石裂变径迹年龄自南东向北西方向减小,江汉盆地、当阳盆地及龙泉山以西记录的年轻的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄则与青藏高原隆升及其向南东方向构造逃逸的挤压作用和亚洲季风等气候变化的影响有关。     

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.
