雁列构造是走滑断层存在的充分判据?--来自平面砂箱模拟实验的启示

多年来 ,雁列构造被作为走滑作用的结果、并得到物理模拟实验模型的支持 ,通常作为走滑断层的判据加以运用。本文根据针对黄骅盆地所设计的曲折边界基底均匀伸展模型和针对焉耆盆地所设计的基底均匀收缩斜向挤压模型的砂箱实验结果 ,给出了雁列构造另外的成因解释。认为雁列构造的成因并非局限于基底走滑作用 ,基底均匀变形条件下的斜向伸展或斜向挤压作用均可形成雁列构造 ,因此雁列构造不能作为走滑断层存在的充分判据。     

基底收缩对斜向挤压盆地构造格局影响的实验研究

实验设计了不同基底条件的两个斜向挤压砂箱模型,实验结果表明:基底收缩可以促使斜向挤压盆地形成复杂的构造面貌,说明复杂构造格局并非总是意味着盆地经历了复杂的构造变形过程、或变形历史。基底收缩的斜向挤压实验模型说明盆地内部不同走向的断层也可以形成于同一挤压变形过程,不同走向的断层非总是意味着盆地经历了多期构造作用。基底收缩可以促使斜向挤压盆地形成雁列式断层带,雁列式断层带并非是走滑活动、或拉分作用的确凿证据。基底收缩可以促使斜向挤压盆地形成背冲式构造组合格局。基底收缩的斜向挤压实验模型为研究复杂构造格局盆地的成因机制提供了新思路。     

准噶尔西北缘斜向挤压构造与走滑断裂

古板块构造研究表明古生代以来,准噶尔地块以斜向方式拼合到阿尔泰（Altaids）造山带构造域内,导致准噶尔西北缘一直处在斜向挤压构造背景之下,并发育高角度逆冲推覆构造带以及横向走滑断裂。地面地质调查、遥感卫星影像解译、大地电磁测深剖面和地震剖面构造解释资料综合研究表明,准噶尔西北缘边界断裂为达拉布特左行走滑断裂,西北缘逆冲推覆构造带为基底卷入的高角度逆冲断裂褶皱带; 在与逆冲带走向相垂直方向,发育有北西向横向走滑断裂,这些断裂为同一斜向挤压构造背景下形成的同期构造,形成时间约在晚二叠到侏罗纪之间。大地电磁测深和地震剖面解释表明,达拉布特走滑断裂控制了西北缘高角度逆冲断裂的分布与性质。西北缘二维和三维地震剖面解释表明,横向走滑断裂样式为正花状构造或者负花状构造,同时具有向南东或北西方向逆冲和拉伸的特征。横向走滑断裂为西北缘逆冲构造南北方向分段的主要断裂,并控制了西北缘中生代地层的沉积。西北缘构造是形成于主边界断裂的斜向挤压作用,而基底卷入逆冲断裂则属非纯挤压形成的逆冲构造。     

基底收缩对挤压构造变形特征影响——来自砂箱实验的启示

进行了 4个砂箱模型的模拟实验。其中基底收缩单侧挤压剖面模型以形成后冲叠瓦式断层为特征 ,基底无收缩单侧挤压剖面模型则以发育前冲叠瓦断层为特征。基底收缩斜向双侧挤压平面模型形成两组不同走向的逆断层 ,一组为与挤压带边界基本平行的主控断层 ,另一组为与挤压方向近于垂直的雁列断层。而基底无收缩斜向双侧挤压平面模型仅形成一组与挤压带边界基本平行的逆断层。这些模型的实验结果表明 ,基底收缩对挤压构造变形特征具有重要的影响。后冲 (或向陆冲向 )叠瓦式这种较为罕见挤压构造、以及与挤压方向近垂直的雁列断层的形成与基底的收缩作用有关。对于类似于焉耆盆地这种通常认为是压剪形成的挤压构造组合 ,笔者认为用“基底收缩条件下的斜向挤压作用”可更加贴切地加以解释。     

帕米尔突刺东缘冲断带构造形成机制:物理模拟及讨论

利用物理模拟实验,建立了两个不同边界条件的模型分别模拟帕米尔突刺东缘柯克亚-和田褶皱冲断带和喀什-叶城转换断层带的逆冲走滑构造演化过程,进而分析和讨论了研究区构造变形特征和变形机制。物理模拟实验结果表明:(1)帕米尔突刺东缘的柯克亚-和田褶皱冲断带和喀什-叶城转换断层带均形成于压扭应力场作用下,发育明显断层走滑现象,前者逆冲前缘断层兼具左行走滑特征,后者逆冲前缘断层则具右行走滑特征,但前者总体走滑量明显小于后者;(2)帕米尔突刺东缘的柯克亚-和田褶皱冲断带和喀什-叶城转换断层带走滑作用均主要位于山前边界断层带,越靠近逆冲前缘(盆地内部),走滑效应越微弱,挤压效应越明显;(3)在边界走滑断层前缘(往盆地方向),弧形断裂由挤压方向向前依次产生,并且斜向相交,验证了帕米尔东缘冲断带构造演化符合自南向北依次变新的规律;(4)在斜向压扭作用过程中,走滑断层构造带不一定发育明显的高角度甚至直立的断层,也可能表现为逆冲叠瓦构造楔样式,形成走滑逆断层,故在进行帕米尔突刺东缘(如塔西南山前)地震剖面构造解析时应充分关注这种构造类型。     

走滑断裂、"挤压性盆-山构造"与油气资源关系的探讨

了解含油气盆地的形成及其演化的影响因素对于含油气盆地的勘探和开发是至关重要的．以美国西部的圣安德烈斯断裂带及伴生的南加州油气盆地作为参考,对中国青藏高原北部与阿尔金走滑断裂系相关的盆-山构造进行了剖析．探讨阿尔金走滑断裂系在其演化过程中,怎样控制区域应力场、变形构造及盆地的形成,进而制约油气的迁移和圈闭．分析结果表明与圣安德烈斯断裂带在美国南加州的盆-山构造体系所起的作用相比较,阿尔金走滑断裂系在青藏高原北部的盆-山构造体系的形成和演化中起相似的作用．青藏高原相对于塔里木盆地的斜向运动导致在阿尔金走滑断裂的东南形成走滑-挤压构造域．形成一系列的走滑和推覆构造,在地形上表现为包括柴达木盆地在内的有序的盆-山相间的构造体系,与南加州富含油气的盆地相似,阿尔金走滑断裂及相配套的走滑-逆冲推覆构造促使在这些盆地中形成富集油气的构造。     

准噶尔盆地车-莫古隆起构造特征及物理模拟

依据盆山耦合思想、最新地震解释数据对准噶尔盆地腹部车-莫古隆起的规模和性质进行了构造解析;根据古隆起的构造特征设计平面实验,对其主要发育过程进行了一组相似性尺度物理模拟。综合结果表明:(1)盆地北部受阿尔泰褶皱山系影响,沿陆南-滴水泉断裂带一线存在一条隐伏走滑断裂,其在侏罗纪活动时于浅层形成以陆北断裂和夏盐1井、石南、滴水泉断裂为边界的右旋走滑断裂带;其与盆地南缘边界压扭性断裂带整体上构成左阶右行式断裂组合,且均为深大断裂;(2)走滑边界对于其内部的断块变形具有调整改造作用,车-莫古隆起是受盆地南北两侧的两条右旋压扭性走滑断裂带的夹持下斜向挤压而形成的;(3)侏罗纪末古隆起分布北部达三个泉凸起的北缘,东北部达陆南凸起南缘,西北部边界可达克-夏断阶带东缘,西南部越过红车断裂带抵车排子凸起西部,包含车排子凸起在内,整体为"S"形。     

基于平面砂箱实验对黄骅盆地新生代构造成因的新解释

根据黄骅盆地实际情况设计系列砂箱实验模型。基于实验结果分析,笔者认为黄骅盆地是近Ｓ—Ｎ 向伸展形成的新生代裂陷盆地。盆地内部不同方向的断层形成于同一伸展变形过程。导致盆地内部断层方向复杂多变的原因是盆地裂陷边界方向的变化, 而非走滑构造或拉分作用叠加的结果。实验模型同时也可较好地用以解释整个渤海湾盆地区新生代构造的成因。     

新疆三塘湖盆地走滑构造特征与油气勘探

通过对钻井岩心资料系统观察以及地震资料的全面检查,证实新疆三塘湖盆地内存在走滑构造,表现为简单走滑(逆—平移)断层和正花状走滑断层两种基本形式。在中央拗陷带内走滑断层与边界主断层斜交并呈“雁列式”排列,表明走滑构造可能在边界断层发生大规模逆冲兼右行走滑时形成,其形成时期可能为喜山期。同时走滑构造对油气的生成、运移与聚集起着重要的控制作用。     

西秦岭北缘构造带新生代盆地南部边界断层带结构与构造变形演化

西秦岭北缘构造带是青藏高原东北缘的主要构造边界之一,北缘断层及其所控制的新生代沉积盆地是青藏高原东北缘新生代盆—山格局演化、高原扩展隆升与变形的地质记录。因此,西秦岭北缘构造带的断裂构造和断裂控制的沉积盆地研究对于理解青藏高原构造系统形成和高原隆升过程都具有重要的科学意义。本文通过对西秦岭北缘新生代盆地的南部边界断层F1断层结构分带、断层岩类型、几何学—运动学特征分析,获得如下认识：1）F1断层总体走向为290°～300°,倾向北北东,倾角60°～80°,发育近百米宽的由韧性、韧脆性和脆性断层岩等组成的结构复杂的断层带;2）构造分析揭示了F1断层至少经历了 3期构造变形事件,第一期为韧性—韧脆性伸展正断层作用,第二期为脆性高角度挤压逆冲断层作用,第三期为近直立的脆性斜向左旋走滑作用;3）该断层近百米宽的断层带内形成于不同构造层次的韧性、韧脆性、脆性等变形现象叠加交织出现在现今地壳浅表层次,说明该断层带经历了从早期较深层次韧性变形域逐渐抬升而进入晚期较浅层次的脆韧性变形域到现今的脆性变形域的韧—脆性变形机制转换;4）根据F1断层对西秦岭北缘渐新统—中新统漳县含盐红层盆地的空间构造配置、控制和改造以及新生代区域构造变形演化历史分析,认为第一期韧性—韧脆性伸展正断层作用与渐新世—中新世断陷盆地形成相匹配,活动时代为晚渐新世—晚中新世;第二期脆性高角度挤压逆冲作用与渐新世—中新世地层翘起、褶皱和底部抬升剥蚀及上新世磨拉石盆地充填相对应,活动时代应该始于中新世末期或上新世早期,持续至第四纪早期;第三期斜向左旋走滑则与西秦岭北缘断层带第四纪以来广泛发育的左旋走滑作用相对应。综上所述,西秦岭北缘新生代漳县盆地南部边界断层F1,虽然仅是北缘构造带中一条断层,但作为构造敏感带,其多期变形历史应该代表了青藏高原东北缘新生代以来的构造变形演化及构造体制转换过程。如果这一新生代沉积盆地边界断层F1在渐新世—中新世一直处于伸展正断作用,那么西秦岭北缘在这个阶段应该处于地壳伸展拉张状态,渐新世—中新世漳县盆地只能是伸展断陷盆地而不可能是挤压挠曲前陆盆地或压陷盆地。因此,我们认为印度—欧亚板块碰撞汇聚产生的构造挤压缩短和地壳隆升效应在中新世尚未波及到西秦岭北缘区域。F1断层在中新世末—上新世初的构造反转挤压冲断和上新世具有再生前陆磨拉石堆积出现才标志着西秦岭北缘卷入青藏高原挤压构造动力学系统。     

柴达木盆地北缘走滑-冲断构造特征及其油气勘探思路

处于阿尔金左行走滑构造带东缘的柴北缘,过去一致认为是个前陆逆冲带,并对其逆冲构造特征作了大量的研究。通过本次的野外地质勘察和深部地震测线研究,证实柴达木盆地北缘的主要变形样式为走滑-挤压构造,具有挤压推覆特征的同时伴生有走滑构造,并且主要断层系统沿走向滑动的距离远大于沿倾向冲断推覆的距离,从而建立了柴北缘走滑-逆冲构造的地质模型;这对其地震解释有指导作用。从柴达木盆地的构造变形时间序列和演变特征从西向东依次扩展、构造活动从老变新,认为柴北缘的走滑-逆冲构造受阿尔金山大型走滑构造和祁连山剧烈的逆冲挤压构造共同控制。最后研究了柴北缘的走滑-逆冲构造特征对油气勘探的意义,加强勘探评价冷湖—南八仙走滑逆冲构造带的翼部断块圈闭和赛什腾山南缘逆冲推覆体下伏地层。     

Salt tectonics in pull-apart basins with application to the Dead Sea Basin

The Dead Sea Basin displays a broad range of salt-related structures that developed in a sinistral strike-slip tectonic environment: en échelon salt ridges, large salt diapirs, transverse oblique normal faults, salt walls and rollovers. Laboratory experiments are used to investigate the mechanics of salt tectonics in pull-apart systems. The results show that in an elongated pull-apart basin the basin fill, although decoupled from the underlying basement by a salt layer, remains frictionally coupled to the boundary. The basin fill, therefore, undergoes a strike-slip shear couple that simultaneously generates en échelon fold trains and oblique normal faults, trending mutually perpendicular. According to the orientation of basin boundaries, sedimentary cover deformation can be dominantly contractional or extensional, at the extremities of pull-apart basins forming either folds and thrusts or normal faults, respectively. These guidelines, applied to the analysis of the Dead Sea Basin, show that the various salt-related structures form a coherent set in the frame of a sinistral strike-slip shearing deformation of the sedimentary basin fill.     

西秦岭马脑壳金矿床构造变形特征 与成矿关系研究

马脑壳金矿床构造变形复杂且研究薄弱,作者通过野外地质填图并结合矿山生产勘探,以构造解析为研究方法,对马脑壳金矿床的变形特征与金成矿关系进行了研究。构造解析表明区内地层在成岩期遭受了同生变形,成岩后先后遭受了NE-SW向的挤压褶皱逆冲变形（[T₃³]）、左行走滑变形并伴随伸展塌陷变形（J_1-2）,宏观上表现为推覆—走滑控矿,即印支末期推覆作用形成的变形样式整体控制着金矿体的产出和分布,后期走滑作用叠加改造导致的张性破裂样式控制着金矿化强度,成矿作用主要发生在左行走滑变形阶段（J_1-2）,成矿机制是燕山早中期（J_1-2）西秦岭地区由强烈的挤压动力体制向弥散间隔密集的走滑动力体制转换,导致含矿热液沿构造薄弱带（如区内F2断裂）上升迁移并在构造动力体制转换强烈的区域发生大规模金沉淀。西秦岭地区和松潘—甘孜地区的微细浸染型金矿极有可能形成于燕山早期（J_1-2）由挤压向走滑构造动力体制转过程中。     

Characteristics and Formation Mechanism of Thrust Structures in the Eastern Margin of Pamir Salient: Insights from Analogue Modeling and DiscussionEI北大核心CSCD

Two models with different boundary conditions were carried out to simulate the structural evolution of the Kekeya-Hetian fold-and-thrust belt and Kashi-Yecheng strike-slip belt in the eastern margin of Pamir salient, respectively. The analogue modeling results show that: (1) Both of the Kekeya-Hetian fold-and-thrust belt and Kashi-Yecheng strike-slip belt in the eastern margin of Pamir salient were formed under compressive shearing. Strike-slip faults occurred within both of the belts, but the displacement of these strike-slip faults in the Kekeya-Hetian fold-and-thrust belt is less than that in the Kashi-Yecheng strike-slip belt; (2) The Kekeya-Hetian fold-and-thrust belt is mainly under the influence of compression stress with weaker shearing stress while the Kashi-Yecheng strike-slip belt is mainly under the influence of shearing stress with oblique compressive stress. The strike-slip faults are mainly located in the piedmont within these two belts. The effect of the strike-slip fault diminishes towards the front of the thrust belt (to the interior basin); (3) In the front of the boundary strike-slip faults (to the interior basin), the intersecting arc thrust faults occurred successively along the shortening direction. These structural features demonstrated that the structures evolved northwards in the eastern margin of Pamir salient; (4) The oblique compression does not necessarily result in high angle faults or vertical faults, whereas low-middle angle thrust faults with strike-slip displacement are also possible. Hence, more attention should be paid to such thrust faults during the structural analysis of seismic profiles in the eastern margin of Pamir salient (e.g. the structural belts in piedmont of western Tarim Basin). © 2017, Science Press.

Accretion of oceanic crust under conditions of oblique spreading

The accretion of oceanic crust under conditions of oblique spreading is considered. It is shown that deviation of the normal to the strike of mid-ocean ridge from the extension direction results in the formation of echeloned basins and ranges in the rift valley, which are separated by normal and strike-slip faults oriented at an angle to the axis of the mid-ocean ridge. The orientation of spreading ranges is determined by initial breakup and divergence of plates, whereas the within-rift structural elements are local and shallow-seated; they are formed only in the tectonically mobile rift zone. As a rule, the mid-ocean ridges with oblique spreading are not displaced along transform fracture zones, and stresses are relaxed in accommodation zones without rupture of continuity of within-rift structural elements. The structural elements related to oblique spreading can be formed in both rift and megafault zones. At the initial breakup and divergence of continental or oceanic plates with increased crust thickness, the appearance of an extension component along with shear in megafault zones gives rise to the formation of embryonic accretionary structural elements. As opening and extension increase, oblique spreading zones are formed. Various destructive and accretionary structural elements (nearly parallel extension troughs; basin and range systems oriented obliquely relative to the strike of the fault zone and the extension axis; rhomb-shaped extension basins, etc.) can coexist in different segments of the fault zone and replace one another over time. The Andrew Bain Megafault Zone in the South Atlantic started to develop as a strike-slip fault zone that separated the African and Antarctic plates. Under extension in the oceanic domain, this zone was transformed into a system of strike-slip faults divided by accretionary structures. It is suggested that the De Geer Megafault Zone in the North Atlantic, which separated Greenland and Eurasia at the initial stage of extension that followed strike-slip offset, evolved in the same way.     

Structural evolution of the Piqiang Fault Zone,NW Tarim Basin,China

The Piqiang Fault is a prominent strike-slip (tear) fault that laterally partitions the Keping Shan Thrust Belt in the NW Tarim Basin, China. In satellite images, the Piqiang Fault appears as a sharp, NW-trending lineament that can be traced for more than 70 km. It is oblique to the general structural trend of the thrust belt and subparallel to the thrust transport direction. This paper presents a structural analysis of the Piqiang Fault, based on satellite image interpretation and field data. A net loss of Late Paleozoic sediment across the fault zone implies that it was initiated as a major normal fault during the Early Permian, and corresponds to widespread extension and magmatism during this period. Differential erosion across the fault resulted in the subsequent removal of sediment from the east relative to the west. During the Middle to Late Cenozoic, contraction of the NW Tarim Basin and the formation of the Keping Shan Thrust Belt resulted in reactivation of the Piqiang Fault as a strike-slip (tear) fault. The fault has accommodated lateral differences in thrust density and spacing which have arisen due to the abrupt, pre-existing change in stratigraphic thickness across it. The Piqiang Fault provides an insight into the formation of oblique, strike-slip (tear) faults in contractional belts and demonstrates the importance of inherited basement structures in such settings.     

晚古近纪柴达木盆地西南缘区域应力场演化——从其毗邻的阿达滩盆地得到的佐证

柴达木盆地西南缘与之毗邻的阿达滩盆地对周边造山带构造应力场的变化响应敏感,并有较多的地质记录。中新生代以后,其与阿尔金断裂带同处于统一左行走滑剪切应力场作用之下,构造形迹保存较好。通过对盆地内沉积建造、断裂系性质及区域构造特征的识别分析,推断柴达木盆地西南缘在始新世时构造活动处于南北向挤压环境,而渐新世后则转换为左行平移构造应力之下。推测柴达木西南缘在三维空间上应当存在着来自塔里木地块斜向上的推挤力。通过盆地沉积及构造序列分析,初步建立了该区晚古近纪构造运动阶段性演化模式。
