Structure of the Pre-Paleozoic Formation of the Central Ural Uplift in the Northern and Subpolar Urals and Its Relation with Gold Production

The Central Ural uplift occupies the near-Vodorazdelnaya part of the Urals. It is composed of metaterrigenous and metavolcanogenic Riphean–Vendian formations. Distributed folds, which formed in several stages, and various tectonic faults are widespread. The study of these structures in the areas located in the Northern and Subpolar Urals showed their lateral and temporal variability, which was reflected in the difference in morphology and nature of faulting. In the Vodorazdelnaya area of the Northern Urals, as a result of thrust–fold deformations, a complex fold structure of the sequence was formed, subsequently broken by two submeridional subparallel faults into blocks. In the Khalmerya area of the Subpolar Urals, there are several tectonic blocks bounded by gently eastward dipping and overlapping tectonic blocks that form a duplex structure. This series of thrust structures created a complex cover structure contrasting in composition and degree of deformation. Later, a northeastern strike-slip fault zone arose. The orientation of early isoclinal folds in the rocks indicates pressure from the northeast, during the formation of tectonic scales and sheets in the Precambrian basement. Then this pressure occurred from the southeast and the Lower Paleozoic sediments were involved in the thrust process. Differences in the features of the formation of structures apparently depend on the morphology of the eastern margin of the East European platform and the change in the vector of displacement of the thrust sheet. The movement of the thrust sheets within the continental margin occurred along the main surface of the fault, with which the thrust structures are articulated at depth. At the final stages, extended strike-slip-upthrust zones were established, which affected the distribution of he gold mineralization.

     

Differential tectonic movements in the confluence area of the Huang Shui and Huang He rivers (Yellow River), NE Tibetan Plateau,as inferred from fluvial terrace positions

In the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau (NETP), the courses of the Huang Shui and Huang He near their confluence are characterized by alternating gorges and wide depressions, segmenting the fluvial systems. The river valleys have developed terrace staircases, which are used to infer relative tectonic motions between the segments. The terrace staircases are correlated by means of relative height and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. At least eight terraces are present, two of which have been dated by OSL (the sixth and the third ones; c. 70 and c. 24 ka, respectively). The correlated longitudinal terrace profiles show no distinct relative tectonic movements within the confluence area, demonstrating that this area behaved as one tectonic block. The correlation of the terrace staircase of this block with areas upstream (Xining area) and downstream (eastern Lanzhou area) indicates relative tectonic movements, which therefore represent different tectonic blocks. The fluvial incision rate since c. 70 ka was much higher in the confluence area than in the blocks upstream and downstream, possibly indicating relative uplift. This relatively strong uplift provided more space for differentiation within the terrace staircase as a result of climatic changes, leading to six terraces formed as a response to minor climatic fluctuations (10³–10⁴ year timescale) since the last interglacial. This may indicate that the stronger the tectonic movement the better the climatic imprint as expressed in the form of terrace development. Over a shorter timescale, two accumulation terraces with thick stacked deposits (>18 m) may indicate relative subsidence in the confluence, occurring sometime between 20 and 70 ka. This indicates changes in relative vertical crustal motions at timescales of tens of thousands of years. We speculate that the inferred tectonic motions are related to transpression movements in the NETP as a result of the collision of the Indian and Asian plates.     

Reflectance anisotropy and syn-deformational coalification of the Jewel seam in the Cadomin area, Alberta, Canada

The Jewel seam of the Cadomin area is complexly folded and cut by several thrust faults. Vitrinite reflectance anisotropy was determined from twenty oriented coal blocks, collected from various structural positions. Five of the blocks have uniaxial anisotropies, five have biaxial positive anisotropies, the remaining ten are biaxial negative. The biaxial coals display maximum reflectance axes parallel to nearby fold axes, which suggests a relationship between vitrinite anisotropy and deformation. The biaxial vitrinite reflectance ellipsoids result from superposition of tectonic strains on a primary, sedimentary burial related, uniaxial anisotropy. A tectonic stress field was probably present during the later stages of sedimentary burial and subsequent deformation.Coalification resulted largely from pre-deformational, sedimentary burial, but the final coalification stage was syn-deformational, as illustrated by the intersection of isorank surfaces and the Jewel seam and the biaxial vitrinite reflectance anisotropy.

Strike-slip tectonics within the SW Baltic Sea and its relationship to the inversion of the Mid-Polish Trough—evidence from high-resolution seismic data

The SW Baltic Sea occupies an area where crustal-scale regional tectonic zones of different age merge and overlap, creating a complex tectonic pattern. This pattern influenced the evolution of the Mesozoic sedimentary basin in this area. We present an interpretation of new high-resolution seismic data from the SW Baltic Sea which provided new information both on modes of the Late Cretaceous inversion of this part of the Danish–Polish Mesozoic basin system as well as on relationship between tectonic processes and syn-tectonic depositional systems. Within the Bornholm–Dar owo Fault Zone, located between the Koszalin Fault and Christiansø Block, both strike-slip and reverse faulting took place during the inversion-related activity. The faulting was related to reactivation of extensional pre-Permian fault system. Syn-tectonic sedimentary features include a prominent, generally S- and SE-directed, progradational depositional system with the major source area provided by uplifted basement blocks, in particular by the Bornholm Block. Sediment progradation was enhanced by downfaulting along a strike-slip fault zone and related expansion of accommodation space. Closer to the Christiansø Block, some syn-tectonic deposition also took place and resulted in subtle thickness changes within the hinge zones of inversion-related growth folds. Lack of significant sediment supply from the inverted and uplifted offshore part of the Mid-Polish Trough suggests that in this area NW–SE-located marginal trough parallel to the inversion axis of the Mid-Polish Trough did not form, and that uplifted Bornholm Block played by far more prominent role for development of syn-inversion depositional successions.     

西藏札达盆地控盆断裂有限元数值模拟

札达盆地是喜马拉雅构造带中的一个山间断陷盆地,其演化过程与盆地两侧的控盆构造密切相关。对控盆断裂的构造应力场进行模拟计算,将有助于进一步深化对本区构造控盆的认识。因此,在对盆地构造地质进行详细调查的基础上,结合本区的深部地质与地球物理资料,对札达盆地控盆断裂的构造应力场进行了模拟。计算结果表明,札达盆地的演化明显受盆地两侧边界断裂的控制,札达盆地是在整体南北向挤压应力的作用下,不同块体差异隆升作用的结果。其南侧的控盆断裂为北倾的正断层,北侧的控盆断裂为南倾的逆断层,二者共同形成了南降北升的翘板式断陷盆地运动过程,是喜马拉雅地块在陆内汇聚挤压构造环境中构造应力场调整的一种方式。

下扬子句容地区海相上组合油气地质条件评价

下扬子句容地区的构造形成演化可以分为海相盆地稳定隆降、逆冲推覆、拉张断陷3个阶段。受盆地形成演化的控制,句容地区海相上组合烃源岩主要为盆地构造稳定阶段沉积的二叠系泥岩及下三叠统青龙群泥岩、碳酸盐岩;储层主要为侏罗系象山组、二叠系龙潭组砂岩储集层和三叠系青龙群碳酸盐岩储集层;区域性盖层为白垩系浦口组泥岩。虽然该区海相地层遭受了多期次不同方式、不同程度的改造作用,对油气成藏条件产生了很大影响和破坏,但研究认为在后期改造相对薄弱地区如该区后缘凹陷,仍具有良好的勘探前景,评价出索墅镇—黄梅桥—陈武地区和句容—行香地区2个有利区块。     

大南海地区新生代板块构造活动

在新生代澳大利亚板块和欧亚板块之间的大洋中，存在一些地块(微板块)；同时，澳大利亚板块北部边缘的一些地块先后和澳大利亚板块分离，向北运动，与一些和欧亚板块分离出来的地块先后发生碰撞缝合。在此期间，由于地块分离而发生海底扩张，产生许多小洋盆，如南海、苏录海、苏拉威西海、安达曼海等，最后形成了东南亚地区今日的构造景观。笔者从大南海地区新生代的构造演化史之框架来研究南海地区新生代的构造演化历史，认为南海地区新生代的构造活动既与印度板块和欧亚板块的碰撞有关，也与太平洋板块向欧亚板块的俯冲活动有联系；同时，还受到澳大利亚板块向北运动之影响。南海地区在新生代发生过两次海底扩张，第一次海底扩张发生在42～35Ma前．是受印度板块和欧亚板块碰撞而引起欧亚大陆之下向东南方向之地幔流的影响而发生的，其海底扩张方向为NWSE，产生了南海西南海盆；第二次海底扩张发生于32～17Ma前。由于太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲，俯冲的大洋岩石圈已达700km深处，阻挡了欧亚大陆的上地幔向东南方向之流动，从而转向南流动。引起南海地区南北向海底扩张，即新生代第二次海底扩张，产生了南海中央海盆。南海新生代洋盆诞生之后，由于大南海地区继续有地块碰撞和边缘海海底扩张，对南海南部地区产生挤压，从而使这里的沉积发生变形，这就引起万安运动(南海南部)。     

西昆仑麻扎构造混杂岩的组成及其地质意义

华北中部构造带不同前寒武纪地块主要特征对比研究

古元古代是华北克拉通构造演化的关键时期,主要体现在由新太古代大陆地壳垂向增生到古元古代侧向增生的转换。华北中部构造带的构造性质是近年来华北克拉通构造演化研究争论的焦点之一,构造带中段出露恒山、五台和阜平等多个前寒武纪变质杂岩,其中发育多条大型韧性剪切带,这些剪切带的主期活动时代均为1. 85～1. 80Ga。本文以这些剪切带为构造边界将变质杂岩划分为恒山地块、繁峙地块、五台地块和阜平地块,并在早期研究中解析了繁峙地块构造挤入事件和阜平地块西部的伸展构造事件,表明这些前寒武纪地块的构造位置在古元古代末前后可能有所不同。结合前人资料,本文对这些地块的岩石组成、形成时代、变质作用以及典型构造样式等特征进行详细对比研究。结果表明,恒山地块、阜平地块和五台地块共同组成华北克拉通早前寒武纪"高级区-绿岩带"的典型壳层结构,而繁峙地块与其他地块具有明显差异,具有外来地块特征。     

亚洲大陆主要活动块体的现今构造应力数值模拟

亚洲大陆晚新生代和现代构造变形以活动地块为主要特征,表现为在统一构造格局下不同地块间具有不同的运动方式和速度。为了研究这些具有不同运动学性质块体间的相互作用以及构造变形特征,基于亚洲大陆的总体构造格局构建了二维有限元模型。根据模拟结果,对比已知GPS数据、震源机制解以及地质调查数据等,定量分析了大陆内部主要活动地块构造应力场的分布特征,并探讨了影响亚洲大陆现今构造变形特征的主要因素。结果表明：在我国的西部陆块内,由于周边一系列近EW向弧形活动构造带的存在,导致其内部次级块体运动速率的衰减,从而进一步导致应力环境的变化,由青藏中部的挤压-拉张环境逐渐转变为塔里木、天山地区的完全挤压环境;在西伯利亚地块和印度板块的联合挤压作用下,华北地块上地壳的应力表现为较弱的挤压环境,而在该种应力环境下块体内部伸展构造的成因很可能与其深部的动力学环境有关;华南地块的运动方向与台湾造山带相反,从而形成一个秦岭-大别造山带以南的较强烈的挤压-拉张区;在印度-澳大利亚板块和菲律宾俯冲板块的联合挤压作用下,巽他地块作为华南地块和印支地块的逃逸窗口,表现出以婆罗洲、南海为中心近圆弧形的弱挤压区以及环绕挤压区外缘挤压-拉张区的应力分布特征。     

云南小江断裂中南段现今活动特征

小江断裂为川滇地块、华南地块的边界断裂,是一条重要活动断裂。本文利用GPS监测结果,综合处理得到了欧亚框架下的运动速度场,并以此为基础,采用刚性假设下最小二乘法,对小江断裂中南各段的运动速度进行计算。计算结果表明:断裂中段东支断裂运动速度为3.37±3.20mm/a,西支断裂为3.29±2.73mm/a;断裂南段为3.63±1.76mm/a。整个断裂表现为左行走滑为主兼有挤压活动的特征。这一结果与大的构造环境一致,表明在印度板块与青藏高原的挤压碰撞下,高原东部川滇地块受华南地块、印支地块的阻挡作用,小江断裂产生逆时针移动,呈左行走滑特征。

襄樊——广济断裂西段的三里岗——三阳地区出露有构造混杂岩,以含蛇绿岩残块为特征,经历了复杂的构造变形和演化过程。不同区段的构造解析与对比表明,中生代以来该构造混杂岩带主要遭受了4期变形构造的叠加改造:1)高温塑性变形(D₁),表现为蛇绿岩残块内部具网状强应变带和透镜状弱应变域相互交织的构造变形样式,强应变带形成以镁铁质糜棱岩为特征的高温韧性剪切带,显示深层次构造变形特征;2)逆冲推覆变形(D₂),构造混杂岩带发育叠瓦状逆冲推覆构造和双冲构造,南界韧性剪切带是构造混杂岩带整体运移的主推覆面,发育长英质糜棱岩,形成于中等构造层次,岩石中发育镁铁质糜棱岩糜棱面理的褶皱构造,显示陆内逆冲推覆对先期高温塑性变形构造的叠加改造;3)韧脆性右行平移剪切(D₃),形成构造混杂岩带内部浅层次构造变形,构造混杂岩带南侧的花山群钙质片岩揉皱变形,形成枢纽近直立的不对称褶皱,指示右行平移剪切变形;4)伸展正断层(D₄),主要发育于构造混杂岩带北侧,呈NW——SE向展布,控制晚白垩世断陷盆地的形成与沉积充填。     

Ophiolitic Complex of the Matachingai River on Eastern Chukotka: Fragment of Lithosphere in Mesozoic Back-Arc Basin

The Matachingai River basin is known among the few ophiolitic complexes on eastern Chukotka as the southern boundary of the Chukotka Fold System (in terms of tectonics, the Chukotka microcontinent or a fragment of the Arctic Alaska–Chukotka microplate). This complex comprises tectonic blocks of residual spinel harzburgite with dunite bodies and pyroxenite, olivine gabbro, and leucogabbro veins; blocks of hornblende gabbro, diorite, and plagiogranite; and Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous basaltic–cherty and cherty–carbonate rocks. The geological relationships of rocks within tectonic blocks, the compositions of primary minerals, the bulk geochemistry of rocks, as well as the strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopic compositions, make it possible to consider individual tectonic blocks of the complex as fragments of a disintegrated oceanic-type lithosphere that formed in a back-arc spreading center. The melts, crystallization products of which are represented by hornblende gabbro of blocks, olivine gabbro of veins, and basalts, separated from geochemically and isotopically heterogeneous mantle. Blocks composed of rocks with various modal composition are likely relicts of an oceanic lithosphere of different segments of a back-arc basin. The studied complex may be a lithosphere of one of the Middle–Late Jurassic back-arc basins. Fragments of these basins are retained in ophiolitic complexes on Great Lyakhovsky Island of the New Siberian Islands Archipelago, western Chukotka, and the Brooks Range in Alaska.

哈达阳构造混杂岩出露于嫩江黑河构造带之中.根据区域地质背景及构造混杂岩中岩块地质及地球化学特征,划分了基质、原地岩块及异地岩块3部分.基质主要为绿帘黑云绿泥构造片岩.原地岩块主要有绿帘黑云绿泥构造片岩及可能来自海沟外缘缓坡的砾岩.异地岩块主要有角闪石岩、混染闪长岩及变酸性火山岩.角闪石岩及混染闪长岩岩石地球化学特征表明,其形成于与消减作用相关的边缘海扩张环境,而变酸性火山岩具有岛弧钙碱性火山岩特征.上述特征说明,哈达阳构造混杂岩与板块俯冲消减-碰撞作用相关.沿红山梁、哈达阳直达依克特一带出露的古生代地层彼此之间均为断块接触,认为在该沿线存在一条早石炭世末的构造混杂岩带.哈达阳构造混杂岩的发现为正确认识嫩江黑河构造带性质,正确分析构造带结构都具有重要意义.     

Hierarchy of tectonic control on stratigraphic signatures: Base-level changes during the Early Permian in the Paraná Basin, southernmost Brazil

The Lower Permian sedimentary succession of the Paraná Basin in southernmost Brazil has an overall transgressive sedimentation regime, recorded by a clear retrogradation of the facies belt. However, important depositional strike-orientated variations and regional inversions occur in the sedimentation regime along the paleo-shoreline (i.e., along-strike) of the basin. At the regional scale, a huge source area was uplifted by the end of the Artinskian in the north and caused regression; the southern part of the study area increasingly was transgressed by the epicontinental sea (= regional inversion). This important tectonic overprint on the stratigraphic signature of the basin’s infill has a tectonic origin. The variable sedimentation regime along the paleo-shoreline is controlled by the structural framework of the basement, which is formed by several crustal blocks with different responses to tectonic strain induced by terrain accretion on the occidental margin of Gondwana during the Permian. Stratigraphic data indicate that during the Early Permian, there were at least two differential subsidence and uplift events, one by the end of the Sakmarian–Artinskian and another during the Late Artinskian–Kungurian.     

某电站地下厂房裂隙发育规律及其对围岩稳定性的影响

裂隙岩体内的洞室围岩块体稳定问题是抽水蓄能电站地下厂房建设中要解决的重要工程地质问题。为了在厂房开挖之前较准确地预测不稳定块体的发育位置,本文以某抽水蓄能电站为例,对厂房探洞内的裂隙进行统计分析,结合厂房区构造断层的发育情况,确定了裂隙发育规律;根据裂隙发育规律将厂房区岩体划分为A、B、C、D、E 5个构造分区;并利用Unwedge程序,以各分区裂隙组合为基础,确定可能形成的块体位置,评价了其稳定性状况。研究结果表明,裂隙受多期构造控制,在一定范围内具有方向性,A、E区优势裂隙与构造产状接近,B、C、D区优势裂隙与构造产状斜交;裂隙在厂房上、下游侧边墙各形成6处潜在不稳定块体,顶拱处形成10处潜在不稳定块体,右端墙处形成1处潜在不稳定块体。
