天山乌-库公路剖面中、新生代埋藏、隆升及剥露史研究

为了解天山中新生代再造山过程的历史演化,沿横穿天山的乌鲁木齐—库尔勒公路采集了沉积岩、变质岩、花岗岩等7个样品,用作天山山体隆升和热历史演化研究.通过对样品中磷灰石裂变径迹的测年,获得7个样品的裂变径迹中心年龄,范围为(78.0±4.5)~(31.8±2.5)Ma;继之,在计算机上对磷灰石裂变径迹测定数据进行了热历史模拟,获得了隆升-冷却演化过程的新认识.裂变径迹的年龄数据和热模拟结果表明:天山造山带的中、新生代造山活动并非是整体统一抬升的过程.表现为中新世之前山体北侧先隆升、南侧后隆升的演化规律,山体隆升从北向南逐渐推进.到中新世晚期,才表现为整体抬升过程.通过磷灰石-锆石矿物对计算以及热模拟的结果,获得了各隆升阶段的视隆升速率,发现自晚白垩世晚期以来,视隆升速率有逐渐增加的趋势.     

青川鹰咀山花岗岩体侵位与山脉隆升

运用磷灰石裂变径迹法对鹰咀山花岗岩进行了分析,所取样品的裂变径迹年龄位于50.6~69.6Ma之间,小于其地层时代或侵入年龄,表明摩天岭推覆构造带的隆升开始于晚白垩世,用磷灰石裂变径迹年龄来计算可知:研究区内花岗岩50.6Ma以来的冷却速率和剥蚀速率分别为2.08℃/Ma和0.063mm/a,50.6~69.6Ma之间的相对抬升与剥蚀速率为0.013mm/a,因此说明摩天岭推覆构造带从晚白垩世以来一直处于持续隆升冷却的过程。

中－新生代龙门山的差异隆升

通过对采自龙门山南段、中段和北段花岗岩与砂岩样品中的磷灰石、锆石的裂变径迹年龄的分析,发现中生代以来龙门山的隆升在走向上存在分段性,在近东西方向上存在分带性。从松潘－甘孜褶皱带→龙门山冲断带→川西前陆盆地：松潘－甘孜褶皱带整体发生区域隆升,裂变径迹年龄与高程呈正相关关系;在龙门山冲断带,裂变径迹年龄与高程呈负相关关系或无关,说明冲断层在隆升过程中起主导作用;在川西前陆盆地,样品随埋深发生部分或全部退火。茂县－汶川断裂两侧锆石裂变径迹年龄差异明显而磷灰石裂变径迹年龄无明显差异,显示茂县－汶川断裂以西地区在38～10 Ma发生过更为快速的隆升;北川断裂两侧磷灰石裂变径迹年龄差异明显,表明北川断裂以西地区在10～0 Ma发生过快速隆升。从走向上看,从龙门山北段向南段,锆石裂变径迹年龄呈逐渐增大的趋势,这可能意味着印支末期或燕山早期,龙门山北段发生了更快的隆升;而磷灰石裂变径迹年龄总体上从龙门山北段向中段和南段呈递减趋势,反映新生代期间龙门山中、南段隆升更快。     

青藏高原东部雀儿山地区新近纪隆升速率探讨——来自雀儿山花岗岩体磷灰石裂变径迹证据

通过青藏高原东部川西地区雀儿山花岗岩体磷灰石裂变径迹分析,新获得了4个磷灰石裂变径迹年龄值,分别为4. 9±0. 3Ma、6. 2±0. 5 Ma、7. 2±0. 4 Ma和7. 3±0. 7 Ma。运用径迹年龄-地形高差法计算出雀儿山花岗岩体新近纪的隆升速率,为0. 15～2 mm/a,平均隆升速率为0. 78mm/a。隆升速率在每个阶段有所不同,但呈现出一种快速隆升→缓慢隆升的过程,为整个青藏高原东缘的隆升过程提供了约束条件。     

MESOZOIC AND CENOZOIC UPLIFT-DENUDATION ALONG THE ALTYN TAGH FAULT,NORTHWESTERN CHINA: CONSTRAINTS FROM APATITE FISSION TRACK DATA

本文利用裂变径迹方法探讨阿尔金断裂中段吐拉-肃北之间隆升和剥露过程.古生代花岗岩和侏罗系沉积岩的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄介于107.2 ±9.0Ma到14.1±1.3Ma之间,明显小于其侵位年龄或者沉积年龄.自西部的吐拉到东端的肃北,磷灰石裂变径迹年龄逐渐升高,从14.1±1.3Ma增加到107.2±9.0Ma.花岗岩和侏罗系砂岩的磷灰石裂变径迹模拟结果表明,阿尔金断裂南侧地质体经历了两阶段的快速冷却过程,早期为33Ma左右,晚期为8Ma左右;阿尔金断裂北侧经历了晚白垩世开始的相对缓慢的冷却过程以及8Ma以来快速冷却事件.阿尔金断裂南北两侧的地质体的裂变径迹年龄和热历史略有差异,可能反映阿尔金断裂的影响.33Ma左右的快速冷却事件可能是阿尔金断裂活动引起的快速去顶作用的开始,这一事件对应了印度和欧亚板块碰撞.8Ma左右的冷却事件,与阿尔金山地区盆地内的快速沉积过程相一致,同时可能是青藏高原抬升与侧向生长在本区的响应.     

喜马拉雅造山带晚新生代构造隆升的裂变径迹证据

喜马拉雅造山带的隆升,在地质学研究中是一个非常让人感兴趣的问题,为了对其进行定量研究,揭示隆升历史及幅度等相关问题,运用磷灰石、锆石裂变径迹法对研究区淡色花岗岩进行了分析,所取样品的裂变径迹年龄位于17.0~5.7 Ma之间,小于其地层时代或侵入年龄(40~17 Ma),表明研究区喜马拉雅造山带的强烈隆升开始于晚新生代.用磷灰石裂变径迹年龄来计算可知,研究区内花岗岩5.7 Ma以来的冷却速率和剥蚀速率分别为18.421 ℃/Ma和0.526 mm/a.5.7~9.2 Ma间的相对抬升与剥蚀速率为0.229 mm/a,9.2~17.0 Ma间的相对抬升与剥蚀速率为0.032 mm/a.用锆石裂变径迹年龄来计算知,研究区内花岗岩16.2 Ma以来的冷却速率和剥蚀速率分别为12.963 ℃/Ma和0.370 mm/a,冷却速率和剥蚀速率均小于用磷灰石计算的结果.因此说喜马拉雅造山带从9.2 Ma到现在隆升和剥蚀的速率是处于加快的状态.      

天山、西昆仑山中、新生代幕式活动的磷灰石裂变径迹记录

通过对天山独山子—库车公路、西昆仑山新疆—西藏公路出露的7个花岗岩样品的磷灰石裂变径迹分析，研究了天山、西昆仑山脉低温（＜110℃）热历史。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄范围为（9.6±0.8）～（89.2±2.3）Ma，平均裂变径迹长度变化范围为（7.9±3.7）～（11.6±1.9）μm。磷灰石裂变径迹年龄反映冷却作用时代，地质资料和磷灰石裂变径迹分析数据表明，天山在白垩纪存在一次抬升作用，天山和西昆仑山在中新世发生另一次抬升作用。     

西天山山脉多期次隆升-剥露的裂变径迹证据

磷灰石的裂变径迹法已经广泛地应用于限定山脉的隆升剥露历史研究。天山山脉的隆升历史一直存在争议,西天山山脉的构造隆升研究则相对更为缺乏。野外系统采集三个横穿西天山察汗乌苏山剖面的花岗岩、火山岩等样品,挑选磷灰石开展了裂变径迹测试分析工作。测试结果表明,西天山可能存在多期次的构造隆升事件;进一步利用实测的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄数据和径迹长度,开展了磷灰石的温度时间反演模拟研究。模拟结果结合区域性的地质资料分析推断,西天山山脉自中生代以来存在4个阶段构造隆升剥露事件,分别为:三叠纪末—早侏罗纪(220～180Ma)、侏罗纪中期(170～140Ma)、白垩纪中期(110～80Ma)和晚新生代(24Ma以来)。

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.

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.
