东昆仑大地震的深部构造背景

本文以深地震测深剖面资料揭示的地壳结构形态为切入点 ,探讨东昆仑 8.1级大地震的深部构造背景。沱沱河—小柴旦长 5 0 0km的剖面范围内发现两处大的莫霍面错断 ,分别位于东昆仑 柴达木结合带之下和金沙江断裂之下。青藏高原北部的地壳厚度 6 1～ 75km :莫霍面具有一致南倾 ,逐步加深的产状及弱反射性特征 ;下地壳明显增厚 ,但速度未见明显降低 ;上地壳发育逆冲、走滑断裂 ;地壳中部存在低速层。北邻的柴达木盆地地壳相对刚性 ,厚 5 2± 2km。东昆仑及邻区的壳幔结构有利于强地震孕育。在印度板块向北推挤和柴达木地块的向南插入的区域挤压应力场中 ,青藏高原北部较弱的下地壳缩短增厚 ,变形过程中的蠕滑引起地壳浅部的应力放大。但NE向主压应力的作用不是大地震形成的唯一要素 ,与青藏高原北部各地体侧向运动有关。侧向运动速率和幅度的差异使应力在各地体的边界断裂积累并使其复活。而低速层对形成孕育大地震需要的“立交桥式”的局部应力环境是必不可少的条件。     

Crustal structure, fault segmentation, and activity of the Median Tectonic Line in Shikoku, Japan

We conducted a seismic tomographic analysis to estimate the crustal structure beneath the Shikoku and Chugoku regions in Japan. The Philippine Sea slab (PHS slab) subducts continuously in a SE–NW direction beneath this region, and the crustal structure is complex. Furthermore, the Median Tectonic Line (MTL), one of the longest and most active arc-parallel fault systems in Japan (hereafter, the MTL active fault system), is located in this area, and the right-lateral strike–slip movement of this fault system is related to the oblique subduction of the PHS slab. The MTL active fault system has ruptured repeatedly during the last 10 000 years, and has high seismic potential. Our tomographic analysis clarified the heterogeneous crustal structure along the MTL active fault system. This fault system in Shikoku can be divided into two segments, an east segment and a west segment, on the basis of the velocity structure. This segmentation model is consistent with other such models that have been determined from geological and geomorphological data such as fault geometry, slip rate, and faulting history. This consistency suggests that the surface characteristics of the MTL active fault system are related to structural properties of the crust. In particular, a prominent low-velocity (low-V) zone is present in the lower crust beneath the east segment. Our tomographic images show that the lower crust structure beneath the east segment is obviously different from that of the other segment. Furthermore, this low-V zone may indicate the presence of fluid, possibly related to dehydration of the PHS slab. As the presence of fluid in the lower crust affects the activity of the fault, stress accumulation and the fault failure mechanism may differ between the two segments of the MTL active fault system.     

Phase associations and potential selective extraction methods for selected high-tech metals from ferromanganese nodules and crusts with siderophores

Deep-sea ferromanganese deposits contain a wide range of economically important metals. Ferromanganese crusts and nodules represent an important future resource, since they not only contain base metals such as Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn, but are also enriched in critical or rare high-technology elements such as Li, Mo, Nb, W, the rare earth elements and yttrium (REY). These metals could be extracted from nodules and crusts as a by-product to the base metal production. However, there are no proper separation techniques available that selectively extract certain metals out of the carrier phases. By sequential leaching, we demonstrated that, except for Li, which is present in an easily soluble form, all other high-tech metals enriched in ferromanganese nodules and crusts are largely associated with the Fe-oxyhydroxide phases and only to subordinate extents with Mn-oxide phases. Based on this fact, we conducted selective leaching experiments with the Fe-specific organic ligand desferrioxamine-B, a naturally occurring and ubiquitous siderophore. We showed by leaching of ferromanganese nodules and crusts with desferrioxamine-B that a significant and selective extraction of high-tech metals such as Li, Mo, Zr, Hf and Ta is possible, while other elements like Fe and the base metals Mn, Ni, Cu, Co and Zn are not extracted to large extents. The set of selectively extracted elements can be extended to Nb and W if Mn and carbonate phases are stripped from the bulk nodule or crust prior to the siderophore leach by e.g. a sequential leaching technique. This combination of sequential leaches with a siderophore leach enhanced the extraction to 30–50% of each Mo, Nb, W and Ta from a mixed type Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) nodule and 40–80% from a diagenetic Peru Basin nodule, whilst only 5–10% Fe and even less Mn are extracted from the nodules. Li is extracted to about 60% from the CCZ nodule and a maximum of 80% Li is extracted from the Peru Basin nodule.Our pilot work on selective extraction of high-tech metals from marine ferromanganese nodules and crusts showed that specific metal-binding organic ligands may have promising potential in future processing technologies of these oxide deposits.     

Reply to comments by Henry N. Pollack and David S. Chapman on “Spherical harmonic analysis of Earth’s conductive heat flow”

Pollack and Chapman, hereafter referred to as P&C, argue that: (1) errors arising from lack of quality control in the IHFC database are not important and not properly documented, (2) resolution of spatial patterns in global heat flux distribution should not be represented by spherical harmonics and (3) heat flow in young oceanic crust and global heat loss are better represented by a contested 1-D cooling model than by the data. We disagree and provide additional information that may help clear up such misunderstandings. We also mention briefly the results of a new improved thermal model of the lithosphere that satisfactorily reproduces the main features identified in observational data sets of heat flow and ocean floor bathymetry. Thus, there is no reason to invoke the ad hoc hypothesis of large-scale hydrothermal circulation in the ocean crust.     

中太平洋海山多金属结壳的成矿特征

华北克拉通中生代下地壳置换：非造山过程的壳幔交换

华北克拉通内部前寒武纪麻粒岩地体和新生代火山岩的麻粒岩捕虏体的研究表明，前寒武纪下地壳与现今下地壳的是不同的。下地壳的主要置换发生在中生代。这表明，华北克拉通中生代的构造重大转折，不仅使得盆山格局发生了变化，而且下地壳和上地幔的组成和结构发生了变化。已发表的关于东部岩石圈减薄的机理有折沉作用、幔柱构造模式，均与造山带的演化相联系。本文注意到，华北克拉通最下部地壳的部分或大部都已被中代的下地壳置换，它们不仅发生在克拉通边部，而且发生在克拉通内部。因此华北克拉通中生代的下地壳被中生代的下地壳取代的作用，可称为华北克拉通中生代换底作用。中生代时期的华北拉通下可能存在有规模的地幔柱，强烈的壳幔交换是换底的作用的主要方式，热侵蚀和化学侵蚀的细节还不清楚。但可以推测这与造山带的演化没有直接关系，和造山带岩石圈根部的折沉作用有一般意义的底侵作用不同。     

The distribution of U and Th in growth zones of manganese nodules

Growth zones and individual sublayers from one manganese nodule and three manganese crusts from an area south of Hawaii were analysed for U and Th by the delayed-neutron counting technique.The concentrations of uranium and thorium in the manganese nodule are highest in the outermost zone on top of the nodule, being the surface last exposed to sea water. In this zone U varies from 6.3 to a maximum of 8.3 ppm in different sublayers, decreasing to 5.0 ppm in the inner zones and 3.4 ppm in the outer zone last exposed to the sediment. Ferromanganese material scraped from the zone last exposed to the sediment which has low concentrations of Fe, relative to the zone last exposed to sea water, has also low U contents (2.7 ppm).Th concentrations are higher in the outermost zone on top of the nodule (40 to a maximum of 130 ppm) than in the zone last exposed to the sediment (about 20 ppm Th).Manganese crusts contain up to 9 ppm U in the outermost zones last exposed to the sea water. They also have higher concentrations of Th (up to 64 ppm) relative to the inner zones of the crust growing on altered andesitic rock, which contains about 8 ppm U and about 26 ppm Th as an average.     

Mechanism of continental crust subsidence in the Alpine Belt

Formation of deep basins on continental crust in fold belts is often explained by stretching. This mechanism inevitably produces large deformations in the upper crust. No deformations typical of significant stretching were revealed in the predominant part of deep basins on continental crust in the Alpine Belt. This means that these basins were not produced by stretching. Most basins were formed during a short period of time of a few million years. The short duration of the subsidences eliminates thermal relaxation as the mechanism. The space and time relationships between the subsidence and orogeny and the profile of the basin floor exclude thrust loading as a cause of formation for practically all large basins. Gabbro to eclogite transformation is suggested as a mechanism of rapid subsidence. This occurs under the upwelling of hydrous asthenosphere at moderate temperature to the base of the crust. Eclogite sinking into the mantle results in a strong attenuation of the crust and lithosphere, which permits intense subsequent folding. The major part of deep basins in continental crust that formed by rapid subsidence was intensely shortened in the Alpine Belt. Significant crustal shortening did not spread over the cratonic lithosphere.     

安第斯与冈底斯成矿带斑岩铜矿床矿物学和成矿斑岩地球化学特征对比

在总结安第斯和冈底斯斑岩铜矿床地质矿物学特征的基础上,通过对2个成矿带与斑岩铜矿床有关的岩浆岩地球化学特征的对比分析,探讨了2种构造环境下形成的斑岩铜矿床含矿斑岩与成矿过程的异同点。安第斯成矿带的斑岩铜矿床形成于洋壳俯冲陆缘弧环境,成矿时代主要集中在始新世晚期—渐新世(43~31Ma)和中新世中期—上新世(12~4Ma),金属组合包括Cu-Mo和Cu-Au,含矿斑岩的SiO_2含量变化范围较大,岩性从中性到酸性,以钙碱性-高钾钙碱性系列为主,少部分具有典型埃达克岩地球化学特征,而大多数安第斯含矿斑岩具有正常岛弧系列火山岩的地球化学特征。冈底斯成矿带斑岩铜矿床主要发育于陆-陆碰撞环境,成矿时代为中新世(20~12Ma),金属组合为Cu-Mo,缺乏Cu-Au组合,含矿斑岩岩性以酸性为主,且主要为高钾钙碱性-钾玄质系列岩浆岩,具有典型埃达克岩的地球化学特征。安第斯成矿带含矿斑岩的形成很可能是板片释放流体交代楔形地幔,经部分熔融与MASH过程的产物,并不是直接源于洋壳的部分熔融;而冈底斯成矿带含矿斑岩成因可能是早期洋壳多次俯冲形成俯冲增生弧,之后在陆陆碰撞过程中经历缩短加厚,与深部构造动力学机制发生变化时的部分熔融有关。     

大洋富钴结壳资源调查与研究进展

富钴结壳是继多金属结核资源之后被发现的又一深海沉积固体矿产资源,在太平洋、大西洋和印度洋的海底均有分布。据估算,全球三大洋海山富钴结壳干结壳资源量为(1081.1661~2162.3322)×108t。世界各国对富钴结壳的调查始于20世纪80年代初,截至目前,已有日本、中国、俄罗斯和巴西等4个国家与国际海底管理局签订了富钴结壳勘探合同,而韩国的矿区申请也于2016年获得核准。富钴结壳按形态可分为板状结壳,砾状结壳和钴结核3种类型。富钴结壳内部结构构造在宏观上通常表现为三层构造,即底部亮煤层、中部疏松层和顶部较致密层;在微观下主要表现为柱状构造、叠层构造、斑块状构造、纹层状构造等多种类型。富钴结壳的矿物成分主要为自生的铁锰矿物,包括水羟锰矿、钡镁锰矿、羟铁矿、四方纤铁矿、六方纤铁矿、针铁矿等。富钴结壳富含Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Pb、Zn等金属元素以及稀土元素和铂族元素,其中Co含量尤为显著。三大洋中,以太平洋富钴结壳的Co平均含量最高。富钴结壳的生长过程极其缓慢,平均仅几毫米每百万年。研究表明,西太平洋富钴结壳最早于始新世-早中新世开始生长。目前通常认为富钴结壳为水成成因,即Co、Fe、Mn等金属元素来源于海水。此外,有研究表明微生物在富钴结壳的形成过程中也起着非常重要的作用。富钴结壳的分布及特征受地形、水深、基岩类型、海水水文化学特征、经纬度等多种因素的影响,其主要分布于碳酸盐补偿深度以上、最低含氧带以下、水深800~2500 m的海山、岛屿斜坡和海底高地上,西、中太平洋海山区被认为是全球富钴结壳的最主要产出区。     

区域伸展体制下盆—山构造耦合关系的探讨——以渤海湾盆地和太行山为例

根据地质、地球物理和构造地貌等资料研究了渤海湾盆地和太行山之间的耦合关系。盆地和山脉是在晚白世形成的结山准平原上经新生代裂陷作用产生的。盆地阶段性下沉与山区间歇性抬升彼此相应，相反相成。盆山之间的太行山山前断裂带是上地壳中的大型拆离构造，沿它拉张滑脱而盆降、山隆；区内现今地壳上地幔结构等差异可能是盆－山构造发育过程中形成的，总体为分层拆离、脆韧转换和伸展－收缩组合而成的岩石圈结构构造剖面。盆地和山脉具统一的形成机制和同一动力条件，盆地深部软流圈上隆和侧向分流导致岩石圈地幔和下地壳自下而上同向锁流变，不仅托曳传力使上覆壳层拉张裂陷成盆，而且往西推挤山区相同层圈的物质使之缩短增厚并隆升，为盆地伸展让位；山半随盆地发育而形成。     

The Indian Ocean Nodule Field: petrotectonic evolution and ferromanganese deposits

The Indian Ocean Nodule Field (IONF) is significant from several points of view. Roughly bordered by 10°S to 16°30′S and 72°E to 80°E and located within the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB), the field hosts the world's second largest and second high grade manganese nodule deposit, after the equatorial nodule belt in the north Pacific Ocean. Moreover, the crust underlying this field is characterised by unique morphotectonic signatures owing to its formation between 60 and 49 Ma under three variable spreading conditions, fast, intermediate and slow, from the Indian Ocean Ridge System (IORS).The nodule field has been surveyed both extensively (more than 0.4 million km² area) and intensively (comprising of a large geophysical data set and geological sample inventory) during the last two decades. Several morphotectonic features, such as seamounts, hills, ridge-normal lineaments and ridge-parallel lineations, have disturbed the apparently smooth topographic gradient (1:7000) of the seafloor here.Variations in the rate of spreading and formation of new oceanic crust along the ridge crest, during more than one episode of India–Eurasia collision, are imprinted in the IONF. Based on the nature of the ridge-parallel lineations, which are related to the rate of crustal accretion, the field is divided in to four sectors: A, B, C, and D, from north to south. Sectors A and C were formed at a fast rate of spreading (90–95 mm/year, half-rate) and sectors B and D were formed at an intermediate (55 mm/year) and slow (26 mm/year) rates, respectively. The predominance of tensional stress in sectors A and C caused asymmetrical flexuring of the seafloor, resulting in widely spaced faults and folds with low amplitude and large wavelength. In contrast, the seafloor flexuring in sector D are closely spaced, long, symmetrical and of high amplitude. The timing and intensity of the collision of India with Eurasia is constrained by the variable intensity of these flexures, suggesting probably a ‘soft’ touch at ∼58 Ma and the hard collision at about 51 Ma.The nodule field hosts several seamounts, both as isolated entities and in linear chains, which are arranged parallel to the flow lines along the direction of absolute motion of the Indian plate. The distribution, morphology and growth patterns of a majority of these seamounts are related to spreading rate, suggesting their formation at the ridge crest. However, many of the seamounts show more than one stage of growth with local intraplate volcanism contributing to the enlargement of the larger ancient seamounts. Varieties of volcanics, such as tholeiitic basalts, spilites, ferrobasalts and pumice, occur within the IONF. The alteration of some of these volcanics has resulted in palagonitisation of the glass and formation of zeolites.Subsequently, during its journey away from the ridge crest to the abyssal areas, the crust underlying the nodule field witnessed intraplate volcanism. This is evident from the addition of younger rocks at the base of the ancient seamounts, inconsistent growth of volcanoes, eruption of ferrobasalt corresponding to the areas of high amplitude magnetic zones and presence of volcanogenic–hydrothermal materials (vhm) of 10 ka age. These findings collectively hint that the IONF is geodynamically unstable and may have been volcanically active in the recent past.During the last 8 Ma, growth of authigenic ferromanganese deposits in the form of manganese nodules and crusts has occurred in the nodule field. The deposits occur at an average water depth of 5000 m. The basinal geomorphology, intraplate tectonic deformations and volcanic eruptions considerably influence the formation, development, morphology, mineralogy and composition of these deposits. The data show that the large seamounts, reverse faults and fracture zones (FZs) supply rock fragments as ‘seeds’ for the nodule formation. The hydrogenous precipitation from the overlying water column is the primary source of metal accumulation in the nodules. The secondary (relatively weak) intraplate eruptions along the base of ancient seamounts or lineaments, subsurface igneous activity and diagenetic remobilisation of metals have also played significant role in the growth and enrichment of the deposit.Based on a large data set, we estimate the contribution of various physico-chemical parameters and model the probable conditions of formation of the ferromanganese deposits in the IONF. The model also hints at the location where the resource exploitation should be rewarding.     

Mineral Resources and Their Comprehensive Utilization in China Sea

It was said that mineral resources in oceans might be a reliable source for the material production. Ocean water is regarded as a huge “liquid deposit” for its ability to dissolve many kinds of elements. The total amount of elements in ocean water is greater than that in land. At the seafloor or below, occur a large number of mineral resources besides those in the water.China Sea, situated in the junction between North China block, Yangtze block and the Pacific plate and the Philippines plate, is excellent in ore-forming geological conditions, resulting in the presence of many kinds of deposits and abundant reserves. Mineral resources found in China Sea mainly include oil-gas resources, sea-beach placer and submarine coalfield.In addition, the manganese nodule and cobalt-rich crust are also discovered in South China Sea. Furthermore, the hydrothermal metalliferous deposit and gas hydrate may also be present in South China Sea.

Seismic lamination and anisotropy of the Lower Continental Crust

Seismic lamination in the lower crust associated with marked anisotropy has been observed at various locations. Three of these locations were investigated by specially designed experiments in the near vertical and in the wide-angle range, that is the Urach and the Black Forrest area, both belonging to the Moldanubian, a collapsed Variscan terrane in southern Germany, and in the Donbas Basin, a rift inside the East European (Ukrainian) craton. In these three cases, a firm relationship between lower crust seismic lamination and anisotropy is found. There are more cases of lower-crustal lamination and anisotropy, e.g. from the Basin and Range province (western US) and from central Tibet, not revealed by seismic wide-angle measurements, but by teleseismic receiver function studies with a P–S conversion at the Moho. Other cases of lamination and anisotropy are from exhumed lower crustal rocks in Calabria (southern Italy), and Val Sesia and Val Strona (Ivrea area, Northern Italy). We demonstrate that rocks in the lower continental crust, apart from differing in composition, differ from the upper mantle both in terms of seismic lamination (observed in the near-vertical range) and in the type of anisotropy. Compared to upper mantle rocks exhibiting mainly orthorhombic symmetry, the symmetry of the rocks constituting the lower crust is either axial or orthorhombic and basically a result of preferred crystallographic orientation of major minerals (biotite, muscovite, hornblende). We argue that the generation of seismic lamination and anisotropy in the lower crust is a consequence of the same tectonic process, that is, ductile deformation in a warm and low-viscosity lower crust. This process takes place preferably in areas of extension. Heterogeneous rock units are formed that are generally felsic in composition, but that contain intercalations of mafic intrusions. The latter have acted as heat sources and provide the necessary seismic impedance contrasts. The observed seismic anisotropy is attributed to lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of major minerals, in particular of mica and hornblende, but also of olivine. A transversely isotropic symmetry system, such as expected for sub-horizontal layering, is found in only half of the field studies. Azimuthal anisotropy is encountered in the rest of the cases. This indicates differences in the horizontal components of tectonic strain, which finally give rise to differences in the evolution of the rock fabric.     

山东沂水紫苏花岗岩中残晶相矿物的发现及紫苏花岗岩的形成过程

山东沂水地区紫苏花岗岩主要有 3种类型 ,分别为紫苏花岗闪长岩、紫苏石榴花岗闪长岩和紫苏奥长花岗岩。紫苏花岗岩中普遍存在有熔体交代结构 ,主要由残晶相矿物和结晶相矿物组成。对紫苏花岗岩及变质表壳中流体包裹体产状、成分的研究发现 ,富CO2 流体包裹体和富N2 流体包裹体均来自地幔深部。紫苏花岗岩的形成过程如下 :基性岩浆的底侵作用使本区经历了第一期麻粒岩相变质作用 ,地幔富CO2 流体包裹体的存在使系统a(H2 O)很低 (a(H2 O) =0 .1～ 0 .3) ,麻粒岩相变质作用没有产生熔融作用。幔源岩浆活动的逐渐停止 ,该区又经历了近等压降温的第二期麻粒岩相变质作用。此时 ,深源富CO2 流体作用减弱 ,水的活度增加 ,a(H2 O) =0 .6 5～ 0 .75 ,从而产生岩浆 ,新生岩浆对早期形成的变质矿物进行熔蚀交代作用 ,使早期形成的难熔变质矿物如紫苏辉石、石榴石、单斜辉石等呈残晶相 ,随着温度的降低岩浆基本在原地半原地结晶形成紫苏花岗岩。     

广东省及邻区新生代以来构造运动与地震活动分区的研究

综合分析多年来地震地质调查资料,将广东省及部分邻区划分为具不同构造活动特点的6个区,分别论述、分析这些区内新生代以来的断裂构造、火山喷发、第四纪沉积及地震活动等。结果认为,由断层样品热释光测定确定的断层最近期活动年龄主要是在中更新世和晚更新世,沿海地带主要为晚更新世和全新世。新生代以来构造具继承性活动的地区是地震最活动地区,如琼雷地区。同时,由于历史上发生过强震,地震后至今具较大速率下沉地区,在今后相当长时间内可能是不易发生强震地区,如琼北东部和南澎-南澳地区;Ms6级地震将主要发生在晚更新世以来的新生盆地,如潮汕盆地和近岸海湾地区;Ms5级地震在一定条件下,几乎可能发生在省内的任何地区。     

Characterization of soil's structural crust by spectral reflectance in the SWIR region (1.2–2.5 μm)

Structural crust is a thin layer formed on the soil surface after a rainstorm. The crust is the result of a physical segregation and rearrangement of soil particles in a way that affects some of the soil properties, such as infiltration, runoff and soil erosion. In practice, there is no rapid, in situ method for monitoring, assessing and mapping crust intensity and quality. In this study, a controlled spectral investigation of the structural crust across the NIR–SWIR spectral region was conducted on three selected Israeli soils, to study the potential of reflectance radiation to detect structural crust in soils. Two major factors served as the driving forces for this study: (1) there is no valid method for in situ assessment of the crust's characteristics in the agriculture field, and (2) the crust might bias thematic remote sensing of soils, because the thin layer of crust blocks photon–matter interaction, which represents the relevant soil body. Through the use of a laboratory rainfall simulator and a sensitive spectrometer, it was revealed that for three selected soils, significant spectral differences occurred between the crust and its bulk soil. The spectral information was found to be related to changes in particle size distribution and texture at the surface of the soil. This conclusion was based on indications of absorption of OH in clay lattice, OH in adsorbed water and CO₃ in carbonates. It was concluded that the structural crust is a phenomenon that should not be ignored by remote-sensing users. In fact, in the field of agriculture, the spectral properties of crust can be used as tools for estimating the crust's intensity.     

广西地区岩石圈表层与深部构造之关联性:源于岩石圈密度与磁性结构的解读

广西地处华南地块、印支地块与西太平洋板块的汇合部位,因特殊的构造部位,广西区内大地构造单元归属、构造单元边界等许多基础地质问题一直存在争议.自新生代以来的板块构造运动对岩石圈的改造,广西地壳与上地幔在地震波速度及温度结构方面具有显著差异.应用卫星重、磁异常数据以及区域重力和航磁资料对广西地区岩石圈密度和磁化率结构及其与上地壳构造的关系开展了研究,结果显示广西地区地壳密度和上地壳磁性结构与现今地表构造较为契合,但下地壳密度结构与上地幔存在不连续现象;此外,岩石圈磁化率结构指示中下地壳存在不同范围和程度的解耦.对广西岩石圈密度与磁性结构的解读认为,在中生代以来岩石圈被大规模改造的背景下,幔源物质上侵至上地壳的规模和范围都有限,这可能是整个广西地区上地幔结构与地壳构造不对应的主要原因.
