腾冲火山起源的地球物理和地球化学研究进展

腾冲新生代火山位于印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞边界上.该区域构造活动强烈,火山具有潜在的喷发性,研究腾冲火山起源对于认识板块俯冲过程、火山活动规律具有重要意义.本文总结了近年来腾冲火山起源的最新进展,包括地球物理和地球化学的新成果,探讨了火山岩浆来源和火山形成的深部动力学机制.这些研究发现腾冲火山的形成主要与板块俯冲有关,早期俯冲形成的残余大洋板片和现今俯冲的印度板块都可能是交代物质的来源,大洋板片在深部释放融流体形成富集软流圈地幔和岩石圈地幔.后期岩石圈的伸展作用可能诱导了富集软流圈地幔的部分熔融,导致岩浆物质喷出地表.根据⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr与SiO₂的相关性,得到腾冲玄武岩遭受到地壳混染作用不明显,而安山岩和英安岩遭受地壳混染作用明显.地球物理成像显示腾冲火山下方地壳中有不同尺度的岩浆囊,其中上地壳有若干小岩浆囊,在中下地壳有大岩浆囊.地震成像显示地壳中的低速体向下延伸至上地幔,很可能反映地壳中的岩浆囊有地幔热物质的持续供给.     

深部俯冲板片三维构造重建及其几何学、运动学研究——以汤加—克马德克地区俯冲板片为例

西南太平洋板块与澳大利亚板块之间的汤加—克马德克俯冲带,是研究地球动力学最重要的区域之一.本文研究根据MIT-P08地震数据,结合板块构造边界、地震活动分布、海岸地形数据等,基于GOCAD软件平台建立三维地震层析成像,对西南太平洋板块的汤加—克马德克俯冲板片进行三维解释.地震层析成像显示汤加—斐济地区地幔至少存在三个"高速"异常体.早期汤加—克马德克俯冲板片穿过地幔转换带,并进入下地幔,最大深度达1600 km.三维构造模型揭示了汤加—克马德克板片在深度600~800 km处存在断折形变,该俯冲板片去褶皱恢复后,测量其俯冲的最大位移达2600 km.汤加—克马德克板片开始快速俯冲的时间至少在30 Ma之前,平均移动速率约为68~104 mm /a.俯冲板片三维构造重建和恢复,可以有效揭示俯冲板片几何学、运动学,为研究深源地震成因、地球深部变化过程和动力学机制提供约束.     

西北太平洋俯冲带及其深震活动

俯冲带是理解地球内部物质循环和能量交换、大陆岩石圈演化、地震和火山活动及矿产资源分布等的重要环节.本文聚焦于西北太平洋俯冲带,通过汇集多种地震观测研究结果,清晰地揭示了由日本海沟至中国东北的俯冲板片整体活动图像,即整个西北太平洋俯冲板片的主压应力轴一致地稳定在俯冲方向上,俯冲板片上深浅部的显著地震活动存在密切的关联性;俯冲板片深处的亚稳态橄榄岩楔形区及其周边是深源地震多发区,深源地震可能是由亚稳态橄榄岩楔形区内的相变断层开始破裂的;在410～660 km深的地幔过渡带内处观测到的俯冲板片上下界面,揭示了俯冲板片的层状组分结构和板块下侧的高含水量.为更好地约束日本海下方的俯冲板片结构和深入探讨西太平洋的俯冲动力作用,有待于在全球罕有的大陆深部不断发生深震的西北太平洋俯冲区,开展海陆联合的地球物理探测及岩石高温高压实验和地球动力学模拟等研究.     

全球地震层析成像揭示深部地幔特提斯洋俯冲板片残留

特提斯演化描绘了过去5亿年来南方冈瓦纳大陆持续分离出陆块向北方漂移,并与北方大陆拼贴的过程.漂移中的陆块与南北大陆间形成的特提斯洋在经历数亿年的生长、演变和消亡后,随着早新生代印度-欧亚大陆碰撞完全闭合.然而,特提斯洋岩石圈并未消失,而是进入地球深部继续演化.特提斯俯冲板片当前在深部地幔中的位置、形态和体积记录了这个连续演化过程最新的瞬间,为特提斯研究提供至关重要的约束.本文总结分析了近二十年间的全球尺度全地幔地震层析成像研究结果,发现在特提斯域下地幔1000～2000km深度范围内存在一个北西-南东向的线性分布的地震高速异常体,称之为特提斯异常体.通过拟合上地幔已知俯冲板片对前人模型进行最优线性组合,观测到特提斯异常体长约8700km,宽约2600km,呈现南北双支平行结构.结合大洋俯冲起始的地质记录和地球动力学研究,本文认为特提斯异常体的主体部分代表了从晚侏罗纪到早新生代闭合这段时间内的新特提斯洋俯冲板片,其中北支由新特提斯洋在欧亚大陆南缘的俯冲下沉板片构成,南支可能反映了在白垩纪发生的新特提斯洋洋内俯冲板片下沉.特提斯异常体西端的部分高速异常可能代表少量的古特提斯洋残留,而东端的...     

利用接收函数散射核方法探测中国东北地区地幔转换带界面三维形态

地幔转换带是上下地幔物质运移和能量交换的必经通道,其速度结构和上下界面的起伏能够为认识地幔内部的温度和物质变化、地幔对流模式等地球演化相关的科学问题提供关键约束.本文利用布设在中国东北地区的高密度固定台网和流动台阵所记录的远震体波接收函数,采用Ps散射核叠前深度偏移成像方法,获得了台站下方地幔转换带界面及其内部速度间断面的三维精细图像.研究结果表明:西北太平洋俯冲板片上下界面在地幔转换带内清晰可见,在高纬度(44°N)区域存在约 30°的倾角;660-km间断面的深度起伏具有明显的分区性,在与俯冲板片相交处以西 200～300 km,界面出现约 20～40 km的下沉,而长白山和龙岗火山的西北区域存在约 5～15 km的抬升,分别与板片滞留引起的低温异常和局部热物质上涌相对应;410-km间断面的起伏形态较复杂,在大部分区域观测到大于 10 km的下沉,且表现出明显的区域性横向变化,与深俯冲动力学背景下冷的温度异常造成的影响不一致.我们认为板片俯冲、停滞和海沟后撤过程中引起的地幔转换带物质异常、含水状态及分布的变化是显著改变410-km间断面形态的主要原因.本文获得的高精度地幔转换带界面三维形态为更好地认识东北亚地区俯冲板片在地幔物质分布和能量交换中的作用提供了重要参考.

太平洋板块俯冲对长白山天池火山的影响

长白山天池火山是我国最具潜在喷发危险的活火山之一,属于远离海沟的陆内火山.太平洋板块平卧于长白山天池火山的下方,其俯冲过程对长白山天池火山形成及活动具有重要意义.本文通过二维热力学耦合的数值模型对海洋板块俯冲的动力学过程进行了模拟,分析了海洋板块俯冲对远离海沟的陆内火山的深部温压条件、速度场、岩浆补给量等的影响.依据模拟结果探讨了太平洋板块对长白山天池火山活动影响的可能性及方式.     

特提斯演化的关键动力学过程与驱动力

特提斯系统经历了漫长的演化历史,包含了多期次的威尔逊旋回,是研究板块构造与地球动力学的理想对象.特提斯演化的典型特征是一系列大陆块体从南方的冈瓦纳大陆裂解,而后向北漂移,最终与北方的劳亚大陆碰撞拼合.该过程中,多期次特提斯洋盆(原特提斯洋、古特提斯洋、新特提斯洋)的张开和关闭是核心要素.本文以大洋板块的生命周期为主线,将特提斯系统演化分解为大陆裂解、俯冲起始、洋脊俯冲、大陆碰撞等四个关键动力学过程,并系统分析了每个关键过程的控制因素和驱动力.(1)特提斯系统窄条形大陆地体的裂解可能受控于板块俯冲,尤其是俯冲板片的远端牵引作用;而块状印度大陆的裂解及印度洋的张开可能是地幔柱与远端俯冲板块共同作用的结果.(2)特提斯系统周期性的大陆地体碰撞拼合产生多期次的俯冲跃迁,是地体碰撞产生的反推力、洋脊推力及板下地幔流牵引力共同作用的结果,并且岩石圈的弱化是关键因素.(3)洋脊俯冲往往伴随着板片断离,该构造体制的转换可能需要地幔流牵引力的辅助,从而实现板块俯冲的延续性;而洋脊俯冲对上盘和下盘都会产生一定的动力学效应,其特征地质记录可用于反演洋脊俯冲历史.(4)青藏高原的巨大重力势能意味着持续至今的印...

活动海岭俯冲与岛弧火山活动的热模拟研究

为解释活动海岭的俯冲会造成岛弧火山活动的间断这一现象,本文采用有限单元法对活动海岭俯冲的热演化过程进行了模拟计算．一般情况下,摩擦剪切生热使岛弧下100km左右深度形成地温反转,俯冲板片海洋地壳内角门岩等含水矿物脱水,释放的水进入其上覆板块,降低了地幔岩石的熔点,使热的地幔楔状体内发生部分熔融,形成岛弧火山活动．高温的活动海岭俯冲时不再出现这种温度反转,俯冲板片在较浅深度达到较高温度而脱水,水进入上覆相对较冷的地幔楔状体不能造成熔融,因此岛弧火山活动会中断．     

Geodynamic modeling of thermal structure of subduction zones

During subduction processes, slabs continuously have heat exchange with the ambient mantle, including both conduction and advection effects. The evolution of slab thermal structure is one of the dominant factors in controlling physical and chemical property changes in subduction zones. It also affects our understanding of many key geological processes, such as mineral dehydration, rock partial melting, arc volcanism, and seismic activities in subduction zones. There are mainly two ways for studying thermal structure of subduction zones with geodynamic models: analytical model and numerical model. Analytical model provides insights into the most dominant controlling physical parameters on the thermal structure, such as slab age, velocity and dip angle, shear stress and thermal conductivity, etc. Numerical model can further deal with more complicated environments, such as viscosity change in the mantle wedge, coupling process between slabs and the ambient mantle, and incorporation of petrology and mineralogy. When applying geodynamic modeling results to specific subduction zones on the Earth, there are many factors which may complicate the process, therefore it is difficult to precisely constrain the thermal structure of subduction zones. With the development of new quantitative methods in geophysics and geochemistry, we may obtain more observational constraints for thermal structure of subduction zones, thus providing more reasonable explanations for geological processes related to subduction zones.     

大别造山带地壳结构反演及其动力学意义

大别造山带是全球最大的碰撞造山带之一,三叠纪时期,扬子板块深俯冲至地幔的200km处,经历了超高压变质作用。白垩纪早期,该造山带发生了强烈的伸展和垮塌,以及大规模的后造山地幔源岩浆侵入和火山活动。本研究收集了大别造山带及其邻区(29°~34°N、114°~119°E)的震相资料,采用双差层析成像技术,对大别造山带地壳结构进行反演,研究地壳结构与后造山地幔源岩浆侵入和火山活动之间的关系。结果显示,大别造山带中上地壳存在低速结构,该低速结构可能是熔融的幔源侵入物质,由于俯冲板片断裂,或下地壳/岩石圈发生拆沉,导致软流圈物质上涌至地壳底部、侵入地壳中,形成大别造山带地壳中的低速结构;同时,合肥盆地显示为低速区,可能是受浅部沉积层影响。研究中横切大别山的4条剖面显示,该地区下方存在北向倾斜高速结构,该高速结构可能是襄樊-广济断层,或者是扬子板块向华北板块下方俯冲的遗迹。     

三维数值模拟研究俯冲区火山的时空活动性

俯冲板块的深部脱水使得上覆地幔含水, 从而降低含水地幔的熔点, 导致上覆地幔部分熔融。 部分熔融的地幔柱一旦喷发到地表就是俯冲带火山, 也形成新的地壳。 相对于周围的地幔来讲, 具有较小密度和黏度的部分熔融地幔的时空活动性就控制着俯冲带火山的时空分布特征。 本文主要回顾近年来运用三维热力学岩石力学模型数值模拟研究与板片脱水相关的俯冲带火山活动的时空分布特性。 结果表明, 部分熔融地幔的有效黏度和密度是影响俯冲板片之上的三维地幔柱横向分布特征的主要因素。 高黏度的部分熔融地幔(10²⁰~10²¹ Pa·s )易于形成近平行于海沟的、 长波长(70~100 km)的、 薄的波状地幔柱; 低黏度(10¹⁸~10¹⁹ Pa·s )的熔融地幔易于形成平行于海沟的, 短波长(30~50 km)的蘑菇状地幔柱和垂直于海沟的山脊状地幔柱。 当部分熔融地幔和周围地幔的密度相差小于50 kg/m³时, 在俯冲板片之上只能形成长波长低幅度(宽50~100 km, 高10~15 km)的地幔山丘。 岩浆产率随着时间的变化反映了火山活动的生命周期性。 板块俯冲速度会影响地幔柱形成的深度和范围大小。 高效率熔融提取会增加新地壳增长总量。 低的板块俯冲速度和低的熔融提取效率会增加上地壳(花岗岩质)和中地壳(英安岩质)化学成分的比例。 数值模拟结果可以很好地解释如日本东北、 新西兰、 南阿拉斯加俯冲区火山的横向分布特征。     

Cenozoic volcanism, stress gradient and back-arc opening in the North Island, New Zealand: Origin of Taupo-Rotorua Depression

Abstract Extensive subduction-related and intraplate volcanism characterize Cenozoic magmatism in the North Is., New Zealand. Volcanics in the central North Is., predominantly intermediate to felsic, form above the dipping seismic zone and show tectonic/geochemical features common to magmatism in most subduction zones. Basaltic volcanism in Northland, the northern part of the North Is., has chemical characteristics typical of intraplate magmatism and may be caused by the upwelling of asthenospheric materials from deeper parts of the mantle. The rifting just behind the present volcanic front (the Taupo-Rotorua Depression), which follows the trench ward migration of the volcanic front and the gradual steepening of the subducted slab, is also a feature of the North Is. A possible mechanism for the back-arc rifting in the area is injection of asthenospheric materials into the mantle wedge; this asthenospheric flow results from the mantle upwelling beneath Northland and pushes both the rigid fore-arc mantle wedge and the subducted slab trenchwards. This mechanism is also consistent with the stress fields in the North Is.: dilatation in Northland, northwest-southeast tension in the Taupo-Rotorua Depression, and the northeast-southwest compression in the fore-arc region.     

Volcanic history and tectonics of the Southwest Japan Arc

Abstract Remarkable changes in volcanism and tectonism have occurred in a synchronous manner since 1.5–2 Ma at the junction of the Southwest Japan Arc and the Ryukyu Arc. Although extensive volcanism occurred in Kyushu before 2 Ma, the subduction-related volcanism started at ca 1.5 Ma, forming a NE–SW trend volcanic front, preceded by significant changes in whole-rock chemistry and mode of eruptions at ca 2 Ma. The Median Tectonic Line has intensified dextral motion since 2 Ma, with a northward shift of its active trace of as much as 10 km, accompanied by the formation of rhomboidal basins in Central Kyushu. Crustal rotation and incipient rifting has also occurred in South Kyushu and the northern Okinawa Trough over the past 2 million years. We emphasize that the commencement age of these events coincides with that of the transition to the westward convergence of the Philippine Sea plate, which we interpret as a primary cause of these synchronous episodes. We assume that the shift in subduction direction led to an increase of fluid component contamination from subducted oceanic slab, which then produced island-arc type volcanism along the volcanic front. Accelerated trench retreat along the Ryukyu Trench may have caused rifting and crustal rotation in the northern Ryukyu Arc.     

长白山天池火山地震活动与西北太平洋俯冲带内中深源地震关系的研究

根据长白山火山活动的地球动力学背景,综合分析西北太平洋俯冲带俯冲作用所引起的中深源地震与长白山火山地震活动及温泉流体化学气体释放变化趋势的关系。认为在北纬35°以北,西北太平洋板块俯冲作用引起的地幔对流的扰动作用下,长白山火山活动从1999年至目前大体经历了3个阶段:1999年6月至2002年5月为扰动起始阶段,2002年6月至2004年为扰动增强阶段,2005年至目前为扰动衰减阶段。在分析了3个阶段内长白山火山地震活动及温泉气体释放特征的基础上,讨论了长白山天池火山目前的活动状态。从日本海至中国东北深源地震区地震活动期和平静期存在的韵律性活动过程出发,对长白山天池火山未来喷发的可能性进行了分析     

Migration of a volcanic front inferred from K–Ar ages of late Miocene to Pliocene volcanic rocks in central Japan

K–Ar ages have been determined for 14 late Miocene to Pliocene volcanic rocks in the north of the Kanto Mountains, Japan, for tracking the location of the volcanic front through the time. These samples were collected from volcanoes located behind the trench–trench–trench (TTT) triple junction of the Pacific, Philippine Sea, and North American plates. This junction is the site of subduction of slabs of the Pacific and the Philippine Sea plates, both of which are thought to have influenced magmatism in this region. The stratigraphy and K–Ar ages of volcanic rocks in the study area indicate that volcanism occurred between the late Miocene and the Pliocene, and ceased before the Pleistocene. Volcanism in adjacent areas of the southern NE Japan and northern Izu–Bonin arcs also occurred during the Pliocene and ceased at around 3 Ma with the westward migration of the volcanic front, as reported previously. Combining our new age data with the existing data shows that before 3 Ma the volcanic front around the TTT junction was located about 50 km east of the preset‐day volcanic front. We suggest that northward subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate slab ended at ～3 Ma as a result of collision between the northern margin of the plate with the surface of the Pacific Plate slab. This collision may have caused a change in the subduction vector of the Philippine Sea Plate from the original north‐directed subduction to the present‐day northwest‐directed subduction. This indicates that the post ～3 Ma westward migration of the volcanic front was a result of this change in plate motion.     

Subducted slabs beneath the eastern Indonesia-Tonga region: insights from tomography

Tomographic images of mantle structure beneath the region north and northeast of Australia show a number of anomalously fast regions. These are interpreted using a recent plate tectonic reconstruction in terms of current and former subduction systems. Several strong anomalies are related to current subduction. The inferred slab lengths and positions are consistent with Neogene subduction beneath the New Britain and Halmahera arcs, and at the Tonga and the New Hebrides trenches where there has been rapid rollback of subduction hinges since about 10 Ma. There are several deeper flat-lying anomalies which are not related to present subduction and we interpret them as former subduction zones overridden by Australia since 25 Ma. Beneath the Bird’s Head and Arafura Sea is an anomaly interpreted to be due to north-dipping subduction beneath the Philippines-Halmahera arc between 45 and 25 Ma. A very large anomaly extending from the Papuan peninsula to the New Hebrides, and from the Solomon Islands to the east Australian margin, is interpreted to be the remnant of south-dipping subduction beneath the Melanesian arc between 45 and 25 Ma. This interpretation implies that a flat-lying slab can survive for many tens of millions of years at the bottom of the upper mantle. In the lower mantle there is a huge anomaly beneath the Gulf of Carpentaria and east Papua New Guinea. This is located above the position where the tectonic model interprets a change in polarity of subduction from north-dipping to south-dipping between 45 and 25 Ma. We suggest this deep anomaly may be a slab subducted beneath eastern Australian during the Cretaceous, or subducted north of Australia during the Cenozoic before 45 Ma. The tomography also supports the tectonic interpretation which suggests little Neogene subduction beneath western New Guinea since no slab is imaged south of the New Guinea trench. However, one subduction zone in the tectonic model and many others, that associated with the Trobriand trough east of Papua New Guinea and the Miocene Maramuni arc, is not seen in the tomographic images and may require reconsideration of currently accepted tectonic interpretations.     

Upper Mantle Domains beneath Central-Southern Italy: Petrological, Geochemical and Geophysical Constraints

—The Italian peninsula shows high complexity of the mantle-crust system and of the Plio-Quaternary magmatism. The lithospheric thickness has remarkable lateral variations from about 110 km to about 30 km. Intermediate and deep-focus earthquakes indicate the presence of a lithospheric slab under the Aeolian-Calabrian area and at the southern end of Campania. Much less extensive intermediate-depth seismicity characterizes the Roman-Tuscany region, where the existence of a relic slab has been hypothesized. The deep seismicity in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea is associated with active calcalkaline to shoshonitic volcanism in the Aeolian arc. Alkaline potassic volcanism occurs in central Italy, and potassic lamproitic magmatism coexists with crustal anatectic and various types of hybrid rocks in the Tuscany area.¶The parallelism between changing magmatism and variation of the structure of the crust-mantle system makes central-southern Italy a key place where petrological and geophysical data can be used to work out an integrated model of the structure and composition of the upper mantle. Beneath Tuscany the upper mantle has been affected by intensive subduction-related metasomatism. This caused the formation of phlogopite-rich veins that cut through residual spinel-harzburgite and dunite. These veins, possibly partially molten, may explain the unusually soft mechanical properties that are detected just below the Moho. In the Roman Province, the upper mantle is formed by a relatively thin lid (the mantle part of the lithosphere) and by metasomatic fertile peridotite, probably connected with the upraise of an asthenospheric mantle wedge above the Apennines subduction zone. Geochemical data indicate that metasomatism, though still related to subduction, had different characteristics and age than in Tuscany. In the eastern sector of the Aeolian arc and in the Neapolitan area, the upper mantle appears to be distinct from the Roman and Tuscany areas and is probably formed by fertile peridotite contaminated by the presently active subduction of the Ionian Sea floor.¶The overall picture is that of a mosaic of various mantle domains that have undergone different evolutionary history in terms of both metasomatism and pre-metasomatic events. The coexistence side by side of these sectors is a key factor that has to be considered by models of the geodynamic evolution of the Central Mediterranean area.
