前陆褶皱冲断带厚皮缩短盐构造运动的物理模拟

尺度物理实验用干石英砂和聚合硅树脂为实验材料,模拟了前陆褶皱冲断带厚皮缩短盐构造,并与薄皮缩短盐构造及无盐层的褶皱冲断带构造模型进行了对比。实验表明,由于塑性盐层的存在,厚皮缩短盐构造呈3层式结构模式。盐上层主要形成敞开褶皱、箱状褶皱、前冲和背冲断层以及冲垒构造,盐下层形成逆冲断层及冲垒构造,断层通常都终止于盐层中。尽管盐层局部变薄或增厚,但不形成刺穿型盐构造。褶皱冲断带不具构造指向特征,其楔形库仑锥剖面呈平台与斜坡两段式形态。模型对比表明,厚皮缩短与薄皮缩短所产生的盐上层构造形态相似,不易区分;但二者的库仑锥剖面有所不同。厚皮前陆褶皱冲断盐构造与无盐层的褶皱冲断构造无论是其几何形态、还是库仑锥剖面都有极大的差别,极易区分：实验结果对解释前陆褶皱冲断构造和寻找盐下油气圈闭都有着重要的指导意义。     

青藏高原中侏罗世-早白垩世羌塘复合型前陆盆地充填模式

根据沉积物碎屑组分、粗碎屑楔状体、边缘相、古流向和沉积、沉降中心等重建了盆地结构、古地理和古地貌,认为该盆地是在中侏罗世-早白垩世多岛洋体制下形成的一种复杂的、特殊类型的复合前陆盆地,它的形成和发展同金沙江缝合带与班公湖-怒江缝合带的碰撞和对冲有关,是盆地两侧板块边缘的大型逆冲作用的产物。在此基础上,根据中央隆起地貌景观交替性变化和盆地中“三砂二灰”的幕式沉积特点,将中侏罗世-早白垩世羌塘前陆盆地演化过程分为 5个阶段,其中巴通期和牛津-提唐期是羌塘盆地南北两侧构造活动相对平静期,而巴柔期、卡洛期、提唐-贝里阿斯期是羌塘盆地南北两侧构造活动强烈时期,强烈的逆冲推覆作用产生大量的构造负载,导致中央隆起强烈地挠曲隆升,造成了盆地中的幕式沉积,产生构造层序和层序,恢复了羌塘前陆盆地沉积记录与两侧缝合带的逆冲作用的相互关系.

Tectonic progradation and plate tectonic evolution of the Alps

Rifting and spreading, trench formation, flysch deposition, subduction and nappe formation prograde from internal to external parts of the Alpine orogen. The progradation is a characteristic feature of the evolution of the Alps. A plate tectonics model based on this cognition is presented and an attempt is made to integrate the plate movements of the Alpine region during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic into the plate pattern of the Western Mediterranean.

Important events in the evolution of the Alps are the successive opening and closing of the Piedmont (South Penninic) and Valais (North Penninic) oceans, and the two continental collisions related to this. The southward drift of the Briançonian plate in the Cretaceous closes the Piedmont and opens the Valais ocean. The evolution of these oceans is related to the plate movements in the North Atlantic. The second continental collision is followed by the formation of an exogeosyncline, the molasse foredeep.

Prograding orogens like the Alps are most likely to evolve in an originally continental environment by rifting. Retrograding orogens, however, indicate an originally oceanic environment with well-developed magmatic arcs and back-arc basins.     

陆-陆碰撞造山带双前陆盆地模式——来自大别山、喜马拉雅和乌拉尔造山带的证据

大陆碰撞造山带不同的构造演化阶段往往形成不同成因类型的周缘前陆盆地 (系统 )。根据对几个典型大陆造山带的研究 ,我们把大陆碰撞造山带的构造演化过程分为陆 -陆拼接和大规模陆内逆冲推覆 (陆内俯冲 )两个阶段 ;早期陆 -陆拼接阶段直接在俯冲板块被动大陆边缘基础上形成的前陆盆地称为“原前陆盆地” ,后期大规模陆内逆冲 -推覆 (或陆内俯冲 )阶段在俯冲板块内部形成的前陆盆地称为“远前陆盆地”(它比原前陆盆地距主缝合带远 )。原前陆盆地和远前陆盆地是同一大陆碰撞造山带不同构造演化阶段的产物 ,是两种不同成因类型的周缘前陆盆地 ,它们构成了同一大陆造山带的双前陆盆地 ,而不是传统概念的单一成因类型前陆盆地。     

The origin of Himalayan anatexis and inverted metamorphism: Models and constraints

The key to comprehending the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya is to understand the relationships between large-scale faulting, anatexis, and inverted metamorphism. The great number and variety of mechanisms that have been proposed to explain some or all of these features reflects the fact that fundamental constraints on such models have been slow in coming. Recent developments, most notably in geophysical imaging and geochronology, have been key to coalescing the results of varied Himalayan investigations into constraints with which to test proposed evolutionary models. These models fall into four general types: (1) the inverted metamorphic sequences within the footwall of the Himalayan thrust and adjacent hanging wall anatexis are spatially and temporally related by thrusting; (2) thrusting results from anatexis; (3) anatexis results from normal faulting; and (4) apparent inverted metamorphism in the footwall of the Himalayan thrust is produced by underplating of right-way-up metamorphic sequences. We review a number of models and find that many are inconsistent with available constraints, most notably the recognition that the exposed crustal melts and inverted metamorphic sequences not temporally related. The generalization that appears to best explain the observed distribution of crustal melts and inverted metamorphic sequences is that, due to specific petrological and tectonic controls, episodic magmatism and out-of-sequence thrusting developed during continuous convergence juxtaposing allochthonous igneous and metamorphic rocks. This coincidental juxtaposition has proven to be something of a red herring, unduly influencing attention toward finding a causal relationship between anatexis and inverted metamorphism.     

Paleomagnetic versus GPS determined tectonic rotation around eastern Himalayan syntaxis in East Asia

Northward indentation of the Indian Plate has brought about significant tectonic deformation into East Asia. A record of long-term tectonic deformation in this area for the past 50 M yr, particularly the vertical axis rotation, is available through paleomagnetic data. In order to depict rotational deformation in this area with respect to Eurasia, we compiled reliable paleomagnetic data sets from 79 localities distributed around eastern Himalayan syntaxis in East Asia. This record delineates that a zone affected by clockwise rotational deformation extends from the southern tip of the Chuan Dian Fragment to as far as the northwestern part of the Indochina Peninsula. A limited zone that experienced a significant amount of clockwise rotation after an initial India–Asia collision is now located at 23.5°N, 101°E, far away from an area (27.5°N, 95.5°E) where an intense rotational motion has been viewed by a snapshot of GPS measurements. This discrepancy in clockwise rotated positions is attributed to southeastward extrusion of the tectonic blocks within East Asia as a result of ongoing indentation of the Indian Plate. A quantitative comparison between the GPS and paleomagnetically determined clockwise rotation further suggests that following an initial India–Asia collision the crust at 30°N, 94°E paleoposition was subjected to southeastward displacement together with clockwise rotation, which eventually reached to present-day position of 23.5°N, 101°E, implying a crustal displacement of about 1000 km during the past 50 M yr.     

Grundmoräne versus Schlammoräne— two types of lodgement till in the Alpine Foreland of Switzerland

In the Aare River Valley between Berne and Thoune a mud till unit occurs together with lacustrine sediments in a complex relationship. The high content of fine material in the mud till is due to incorporation of lake sediments by the advancing Aare glacier probably during the most extensive glaciation of the Swiss Alps. Special attention is given to the evolution of the grain size parameters in vertical sequences in sections at Raintalwald and Räbli. The trend of vertical variation of the parameters reflects the origin of the mud till. Ground moraine and mud till may both be lodgement till but are texturally quite distinct, and the incorporation of pre-existing sediments in the mud till is clearly demonstrated by the use of the grain size parameters.     

Seismic profile analysis of the Kangra and Dehradun re-entrant of NW Himalayan Foreland thrust belt,India: A new approach to delineate subsurface geometry

In the NW Sub-Himalayan frontal thrust belt in India, seismic interpretation of subsurface geometry of the Kangra and Dehradun re-entrant mismatch with the previously proposed models. These procedures lack direct quantitative measurement on the seismic profile required for subsurface structural architecture. Here we use a predictive angular function for establishing quantitative geometric relationships between fault and fold shapes with ‘Distance–displacement method’ (D–d method). It is a prognostic straightforward mechanism to probe the possible structural network from a seismic profile. Two seismic profiles Kangra-2 and Kangra-4 of Kangra re-entrant, Himachal Pradesh (India), are investigated for the fault-related folds associated with the Balh and Paror anticlines. For Paror anticline, the final cut-off angle \(\beta =35{^{\circ }}\) was obtained by transforming the seismic time profile into depth profile to corroborate the interpreted structures. Also, the estimated shortening along the Jawalamukhi Thrust and Jhor Fault, lying between the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) and the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in the frontal fold-thrust belt, were found to be 6.06 and 0.25 km, respectively. Lastly, the geometric method of fold-fault relationship has been exercised to document the existence of a fault-bend fold above the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT). Measurement of shortening along the fault plane is employed as an ancillary tool to prove the multi-bending geometry of the blind thrust of the Dehradun re-entrant.     

Biostratigraphic and detrital zircon age constraints on the basement of the Himalayan Foreland Basin: Implications for a Proterozoic link to the Lesser Himalaya and cratonic India

The Himalayan Foreland Basin in the Ganga Valley is key to assessing the pre‐collision relationship between cratonic India and the Himalaya – the world's largest mountain chain. The subsurface Ganga Supergroup, representing the sedimentary basement of the Ganga Valley, has been interpreted as a northern extension of the Proterozoic Vindhyan Supergroup in cratonic India. This interpretation is contentious because the depositional age of the Ganga Supergroup is not resolved: whereas the lower Ganga Supergroup is widely regarded as Proterozoic, the upper Ganga Supergroup has been variously inferred to include Neoproterozoic, lower Palaeozoic, or Cretaceous strata. Here, we integrate biostratigraphic and detrital zircon data from drill cores to show that the entire Ganga Supergroup is likely Proterozoic and can be correlated with Proterozoic successions on the northern Indian craton and in the Lesser Himalaya. This helps redefine the first‐order stratigraphic architecture and indicates broad depositional continuity along the northern Indian margin during the Proterozoic.

Variations in shoreface progradation and ravinement along the Texas coast, Gulf of Mexico

Shoreface architecture, evolution (mid-Holocene to present) and depths of transgressive ravinement were examined from Sabine Pass, at the Texas–Louisiana border, to South Padre Island, near the Texas–Mexico border, using 30 shoreface transects. Shoreface transects extend out to 16-m water depth, each created from an echo-sounding profile and, on average, seven sediment cores. The shoreface is composed of three broad sedimentological facies: the upper shoreface, composed almost entirely of sand; the proximal lower shoreface, composed of sand with thickly to medium-bedded (50–10 cm) mud; and the distal lower shoreface, composed dominantly of mud with medium- to thinly bedded (20–3 cm) sand. Shoreface architecture and evolution is extremely variable along the Texas coast. Shoreface gradients increase from 2·25 m km^–1 in east Texas to 3·50 m km^–1 in south Texas. Shoreface sands coarsen towards south Texas. East and south Texas shoreface deposits are thin and retrograding whereas central Texas shoreface deposits are thicker and prograding. Central Texas is characterized by stacked shoreface successions, whereas in east Texas, lower shoreface sands are preserved only in offshore banks. Preservation of shoreface deposits is low in south Texas. Although eustatic fluctuations and accommodation space have a strong impact on overall mid-Holocene to present shoreface evolution and preservation potential, along-strike variations in sediment supply and wave energy are the main factors controlling shoreface architecture. The transgressive ravinement surface varies from –6 to –15 m along the Texas coast.     

The Role of India-Asia Collision in the Amalgamation of the Gondwana-Derived Blocks and Deep-Seated Magmatism During the Paleogene at the Himalayan Foreland Basin and Around the Gongha Syntaxis in the South China Block

Southeast Asia comprises collage of continental blocks that were rifted out in phases from the northern parts of the Gondwanic Indo-Australian continent during the Paleozoic-Mesozoic time and were accreted through continental collision process following closure of the Paleo- and Neo-Tethys. The South China and Indo-China blocks were possibly rifted during early Palaeozoic, whereas, the Tibetan and SIBUMASU blocks were rifted during Permo-Carboniferous when the said margin was under glacial and/or cool climatic condition. The Indo-Burma-Andaman (IBA), Sikule, Lolotoi blocks were also rifted from the same Indo-Australian margin but during late Jurassic. This was followed by break-up of the Indian and the Australian continents during early Cretaceous. The opening of the Indian Ocean during the Tertiary was synchronous with closing of the Tethys.India-Asia collision during early-middle Eocene was a mega tectonic event. Apart from initiating the Himalayan orogeny and the eastward strike-slip extrusion of the Indochina block from the Southeast Asian continental collage along the Ailao Shan — Red River shear zone, it also caused early-mid Eocene continental-flood-basalt activity in the Himalayan foreland basin. Indian continent's post-collisional indentation-induced syntaxial buckling of Asian continental collage at its eastern end possibly caused late Paleogene highly potassic magmatism around the Gongha syntaxial area that was located close to the sutured margin of South China continent with Indochina block at the outer fringe of Namche Barwa syntaxis. These magmatic bodies are soon after left-laterally displaced by the Ailao Shan — Red River shear zone. The nature and chemistry of magma at these two settings indicate that both groups result from similar petrogenetic and tectonic processes representing deep-seated melts due to mantle decompression. Some deep faults produced at the edge of flexed Indian continental lithosphere and responsible for the development of the foreland basin may have produced continental-flood-basalt and related magma by decompressional melting of enriched sub-continental mantle. The site-specific location and time sequence of magmatism from the marginal parts of South China continent and located at the outer fringe of Namche Barwa syntaxis are strongly significant. It suggests that these magmatic bodies may also be genetically related to the India-Asia collision process and indentation-induced syntaxial buckling of upper mantle beneath the marginal parts of the South China rigid continent.

Problems in Himalayan geology

The Central Crystalline Axis of the Great Himalaya holds clues to the solution of many problems dealing with the crystallines, metamorphics and geological contrasts encountered in the areas to the north and south of the Axis. The problems discussed include criteria for deciphering the stratigraphy in the Himalayan zone to the south of the Crystalline Axis, age of Jutogh and Chail groups, their relationship with each other and with the Crystalline Axis, nature of the Simla Slates, Jaunsar, Blaini, Infra-Krol, and Krol formations, unfossiliferous nature of the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments, relationship between the Lower, Middle and Upper Tertiaries and the age, presence and absence, and also the cause of metamorphism. It has been found that high grade metamorphism is not a Tertiary phenomenon. Very low grade metamorphism in the sedimentaries and the absence of plutonic intrusives from the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Tertiary sedimentary rocks indicate that magmatism, regional metamorphism and orogeny are not always mutually associated in space and time. Orogenic and epeirogenic episodes other than Cretaceous-Tertiary hold clues to many problems of Himalayan Geology.

Zusammenfassung Die zentrale kristalline Achse des Gro\en Himalaya bietet den Schlüssel für die Lösung vieler Probleme für die im Norden und Süden gelegenen Metamorphite und die geologischen GegensÄtze. Neue Daten für die Deutung der Stratigraphie in der Himalaya-Zone südlich der kristallinen Achse, das Alter der Jutogh- und der Chail-Gruppe, ihre Beziehung untereinander und zur kristallinen Achse, die Natur der Simla Slates sowie der Jaunsar-, Blaini-, Infra-Krol- und Krol-Formation, die Fossilleere der palÄozoischen und mesozoischen Sedimente, die Beziehung zwischen unterem, mittlerem und oberem TertiÄr und schlie\lich Alter, Vorkommen und Fehlen sowie die Ursache der Metamorphose werden gegeben. Hochgradige Metamorphose ist nicht an das TertiÄr gebunden. Niedriggradige Metamorphose in den Sedimenten und das Fehlen plutonischer Intrusiva aus palÄozoischen, mesozoischen und tertiÄren Sedimentgesteinen weisen darauf hin, da\ Magmatismus, regionale Metamorphose und Orogenese nicht immer zeitlich und rÄumlich miteinander verknüpft sind. Orogene und epirogene Episoden au\erhalb von Kreide und TertiÄr können wichtig für die Himalaya-Geologie sein.

Résumé La zone axiale cristalline du Grand Himalaya apporte la clé pour la solution de nombreux problèmes concernant les métamorphites situées au Nord et au Sud, et les contrastes géologiques qu'elles présentent. De nouvelles données sont apportées sur la stratigraphie dans la zone de l'Himalaya au sud de l'axe cristallin, sur l'âge des groupes de Jutogh et de Chail, sur leurs relations mutuelles et avec l'axe cristallin, sur la nature des formations des phyllades de Simla, de Jaunsar, de Blaini, de l'Infrala nature des formations des phyllades de Simla, de Jaunsar, de Blaini, de l'Infra-Krol et de Krol, sur l'absence de fossiles dans les sédiments du PaléozoÏque et du MésozoÏque sur la présence et l'absence du métamorphisme, ainsi que sur sa cause. Le métamorphisme de degré élevé n'est pas lié au Tertiaire. Le métamorphisme de degré faible dans les sédiments et l'absence d'intrusions plutoniques dans les roches sédimentaires paléozoÏques, mésozoÏques et tertiaires montrent que le magmatisme, le métamorphisme régional et l'orogenèse ne sont pas toujours associés dans l'espace et le temps. Les épisodes orogéniques et épeirogéniques survenant en dehors du Crétacique et du Tertiaire peuvent Être importants pour la géologie himalayenne.
