青藏高原瑞利波相速度与深部结构的横向变化

利用中美合作在青藏高原布设的11台 PASSCAL 宽频带数字地震仪记录到的瑞利面波资料,测得青藏高原内不同块体的瑞利面波相速度(周期为10——120s),并反演了不同路径的地壳上地幔 S 波速度结构,发现青藏高原 S 波速度结构的横向变化显著.亚东——安多裂谷带的面波频散与相邻的块体差异最大,温泉至日喀则路径的相速度比其它路径的相速度明显偏高.该路径的地壳平均速度为3.79km/s,比其它路径的地壳平均速度3.40——3.50km/s高得多.青藏高原内不同块体的地壳中均有低速层存在,但低速层的厚度和速度不尽相同.位于北部的松潘甘孜块体。其地壳较薄约为65km,Sn 速度为4.48km/s,而且在约120km 深处的上地幔中存在一厚度为60km,速度为4.15km/s 的上地幔低速层.其它路径的上地幔速度相近,均没有明显的上地幔低速层出现.羌塘块体与拉萨块体的瑞利波相速度和 S 波速度结构极为相似,上地幔顶部的速度较松潘甘孜块体略高.在青藏高原广大地区中,地壳的平均速度低,普遍存在地壳低速层;上地幔顶部的横波速度为4.50——4.65km/s,上地幔中或者没有低速层或者低速层埋藏较深.      

利用面波波形模拟探测中国大陆地壳和上地幔波速结构的分区特征

对穿过中国大陆东部、中部、北部和西部4个不同地区的8条地震射线路径的波形进行拟合分析,反演得到了各路径下方的一维平均波速结构.反演得到的地壳和上地幔波速结构表现出明显的分区特征,该特征与已知的大地构造单元和已有的研究成果吻合较好. 表明面波波形拟合方法是一种可靠的探测地壳和上地幔波速结构的方法,且比单纯利用基阶面波频散对上地幔结构探测更具优势.      

青藏高原东北缘-鄂尔多斯地壳上地幔地震层析成像研究

根据横跨青藏高原东北缘—鄂尔多斯地区的流动宽频带地震台阵和区域地震台网的走时数据,利用地震层析成像方法研究了该地区400km深度范围内地壳上地幔的P波速度结构. 结果表明：青藏高原东北缘—鄂尔多斯地区地壳上地幔结构呈明显的横向不均匀性. 这种不均匀性体现在不同块体之间,同时也存在于块体内部;青藏高原东北缘上地幔P波平均速度低,而鄂尔多斯地块的P波平均速度高,这与两个地块的地质构造活动特征相吻合. 在青藏高原东北缘与鄂尔多斯地块之间的上地幔存在宽约200km的过渡带,该过渡带在地表的界限在兰州—海原之间,在上地幔表现为向东45°左右的倾斜条带,基本结构特征表现为高速与低速物质的混杂;青藏高原内部的柴达木地块平均速度偏低,而祁连地块的上地幔的平均速度偏高,两者相差约8髎;在泽库、兰州和海原地区的上地幔顶部有明显的低速体侵入特征.     

广东大亚湾周围地区地壳和上地幔结构的初步研究

在广东大亚湾周围地区,采用地震转换波法取得了该区地壳和上地幔结构的初步研究结果。在大亚湾地区的地壳中只能分出一个中间界面(界面C)和莫霍界面(M)。本区为两层地壳,地壳厚度为28—30公里。地壳和上地幔界面埋深变化不大,深断裂不发育,本区深部构造特征与地震活动性较高的华北地区相比有较大差别。     

中国西部及邻区岩石圈S波速度结构面波层析成像

本文利用瑞利波群速度频散资料和层析成像方法,研究了中国西部及邻近区域(20°N—55°N,65°E—110°E)的岩石圈S波速度结构.结果表明这一地区存在三个以低速地壳/上地幔为特征的构造活动区域:西蒙古高原—贝加尔地区,青藏高原,印支地区.西蒙古高原岩石圈厚度约为80 km,上地幔低速层向下延伸至300 km深度,说明存在源自地幔深部的热流活动.缅甸弧后的上地幔低速层下至200 km深度,显然与印度板块向东俯冲引起俯冲板片上方的热/化学活动有关.青藏高原地壳厚达70 km,边缘地区厚度也在50 km以上并且具有很大的水平变化梯度,与高原平顶陡边的地形特征一致.中下地壳的平均S波速度明显低于正常大陆地壳,在中地壳20~40 km深度范围广泛存在速度逆转的低速层,这一低速层的展布范围与高原的范围相符.这些特征说明青藏高原中下地壳的变形是在印度板块的北向挤压下发生塑性增厚和侧向流动.地幔的速度结构呈现与地壳显著不同的特点.在高原主体和川滇西部地区上地幔顶部存在较大范围的低速,低速区范围随深度迅速减小;100 km以下滇西低速消失,150 km以下基本完全消失.青藏高原上地幔速度结构沿东西方向表现出显著的分段变化.在大约84°E以西的喀喇昆仑—帕米尔—兴都库什地区,印度板块的北向和亚洲板块的南向俯冲造成上地幔显著高速;84°E—94°E之间上地幔顶部速度较低,在大约150~220 km深度范围存在高速板片,有可能是俯冲的印度岩石圈,其前缘到达昆仑—巴颜喀拉之下;在喜马拉雅东构造结以北区域,存在显著的上地幔高速区,可能阻碍上地幔物质的东向运动.川滇西部岩石圈底界深度与扬子克拉通相似,约为180 km,但上地幔顶部速度较低.这些现象表明青藏高原岩石圈地幔的变形/运动方式可能与地壳有本质的区别.     

南极长城站地壳和上地幔各向异性分析

利用我国第24次和第25次南极科学考察队于2008年2月—2010年3月南极长城站记录到的地震事件数据进行剪切波分裂研究. 选取近震事件对Sg波进行剪切波分裂计算,结果表明快波偏振方向有两个,分别为北东向和近南北向; 慢波延迟时间的范围为1.45—5.17 ms/km,平均值为3.54 ms/km.同时选取长城站记录到的远震数据SKS波震相进行剪切波分裂计算,得出上地幔快波偏振方向优势取向为北东向, 慢波延迟时间平均值为1.60 s. 剪切波分裂结果显示长城站地区地壳和上地幔具有明显的各向异性, 并显示长城站地区地壳与上地幔快波偏振方向几乎平行,表明壳幔变形的一致关系.另外,地壳和上地幔各向异性的快波偏振方向不仅与长城站附近的海沟方向平行,同时也与绝对板块的运动方向平行.该结果进一步说明了绝对板块的运动是构成上地幔各向异性的主要原因.     

云南遮放-宾川和孟连-马龙宽角地震剖面的层析成像研究

依据有限差分反演和射线反演的方法,利用走时、振幅比和重力布格异常数据对云南地区遮放—宾川和孟连—马龙宽角地震剖面的地壳上地幔结构进行层析成像研究. 遮放—宾川测线地壳厚度为35～46km,孟连—马龙测线地壳厚度33～44.5km. 局部位置上地幔顶部P波速度值偏低,速度值变化范围大,反映出云南地区是典型的构造活动区的特点. 地壳上地幔结构存在一定程度的深浅构造一致性,意味着浅部物质活动存在深部背景. 遮放—宾川剖面速度结构显示地表怒江断裂东侧存在贯穿地壳的大规模低速异常,可能与深部物质上涌活动有关. 遮放—宾川线和孟连—马龙线速度结构显示作为一级构造单元分界线的红河断裂是超壳断裂,怒江断裂深及上地幔. 而昌宁—双江断裂显示为低角度铲式断层,意味着该断裂切割并不深. 云南地区强震的发生往往与延伸到上地幔的深大断裂有关,且一些浅源地震经常位于中上地壳深大断裂与其他断裂的交汇部位、高速块体与低速块体接触带上速度等值线弯曲的位置. 推测这样的位置有利于能量和区域应力的积累.     

根据接收函数反演得到的首都圈地壳上地幔三维S波速度结构

利用2002~2003年中国地震局地质研究所台阵实验室以唐山大震区为中心布设的40个流动宽频带地震台站和首都圈数字台网的33个宽频带台站的远震数据,采用接收函数非线性反演方法得到其中72个宽频带台站下方60 km深度范围内的S波速度结构.根据得到的各台站下方地壳上地幔的S波速度结构,并综合刘启元等（1997）用接收函数非线性反演方法得到的延怀盆地15个宽频带流动台站下方的地壳上地幔S波速度结构模型,给出了39°N～41°N,114°E~119.5°E区域内沿不同走向、不同深度S波速度分布.由于综合了利用首都圈数字地震台网的宽频带台站以及流动地震台阵的观测数据,本文给出了较前人同类研究空间分辨率更好的结果.结果表明: (1)研究区的速度结构,特别是怀来以东的速度结构十分复杂.在10~20 km深度范围内,研究区地壳具有高速和低速异常块体的交错结构.研究区中上地壳速度结构主要被与张渤地震带大体重合的NW向高速条带和穿越唐山大震区的NE向高速条带所控制,而其中下地壳的速度结构主要为延怀—三河—唐山地区上地幔隆起所控制.(2)研究区内存在若干壳内S波低速体,它们主要分布在唐山,三河及延怀盆地等地区.在这些地区,壳内低速体伴随着壳幔界面的隆起和上地幔顶部速度结构的横向变化.(3)地表断层分布与地壳速度结构分区有较好的相关性,表明断层对不同块体有明显的控制作用.其中,宝坻断裂,香河断裂和唐山断裂均为超壳断裂.(4)首都圈内大地震的分布与壳内低速体及上地幔顶部的速度结构有密切关系.对于唐山大地震的成因,仅考虑板块作用引起的水平应力场是不够的,有必要充分重视由于上地幔变形引起的地壳垂直变形和上地幔物质侵入造成的热效应.     

环渤海地区的地震层析成像与地壳上地幔结构

利用环渤海地区的天然地震P波到时资料,采用纬度和经度方向分别为05°×06°的网格划分,反演了该地区地壳上地幔的三维P波速度结构.初步结果表明,环渤海地区地壳上地幔的速度结构具有明显的横向不均匀性：京津唐地区地壳中上部的速度异常反映了浅表层的地质构造特征,造山带和隆起区对应于高速异常,坳陷区和沉积盆地对应于低速异常;地壳下部出现大规模的低速异常与华北地区广泛存在的高导层相对应,估计与壳内的滑脱层和局部熔融、岩浆活动有关;莫霍面附近的速度异常反映了地壳厚度的变化及壳幔边界附近热状态的差异;上地幔顶部大范围的低速异常可能是上地幔软流层热物质大规模上涌所致.     

内蒙、甘、宁某些地区地球上部电导率分布的横向变化特征

这篇文章给出了内蒙、甘肃、宁夏某些地区的大地电磁测深结果。这些结果显示出,在地震带内地壳和上地幔电导率分布的横向变化是很明显的,而在比较稳定的鄂尔多斯地台内电导卑分布的横向变化较小,地壳和上地幔的电导率结构比较简单。基于这些结果发现,上部地壳(10—15公里)低阻层在大震震中区较为发育,这可能与大震有关。我国西北地区已有的大地电磁测深结果显示出,莫霍面並不是一个清楚的电性分界面,而某些地区的地壳中部低阻层似乎与康拉界面相应,这就使得后者成为一个明显的电性分界面。     

Geoneutrinos and the energy budget of the Earth

The total energy loss of the Earth is well constrained by heat flux measurements on land, the plate cooling model for the oceans, and the buoyancy flux of hotspots. It amounts to 46 ± 2 TW. The main sources that balance the total energy loss are the radioactivity of the Earth's crust and mantle, the secular cooling of the Earth's mantle, and the energy loss from the core. Only the crustal radioactivity is well constrained. The uncertainty on each of the other components is larger than the uncertainty of the total heat loss. The mantle energy budget cannot be balanced by adding the best estimates of mantle radioactivity, secular cooling of the mantle, and heat flux from the core. Neutrino observatories in deep underground mines can detect antineutrinos emitted by the radioactivity of U and Th. Provided that the crustal contribution to the geoneutrino flux can be very precisely calculated, it will be possible to put robust constraints on mantle radioactivity and its contribution to the Earth's energy budget. Equally strong constraints could be obtained from a deep ocean observatory without the need of crustal correction. In the future, it may become possible to obtain directional information on the geoneutrino flux and to resolve radial variations in concentration of heat producing elements in the mantle.     

New progresses on geothermal history of Turpan-Hami Basin, Xinjiang, China

A comprehensive study on geothermal history of the Turpan-Hami Basin by vitrinite reflectance, fluid inclusion geothermometry, apatite fission track and⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar dating displays that the main effects influencing geotemperature distribution are burial depth of the basement, heat flow, magmatic activities, as well as tectonic movement, having a rugulation to be higher in the east and north, lower in the west and south, as well as higher in the past and lower at the present. The heat of the mantle source and the Indo-China tectonic thermal event have extremely influenced maturation of source rocks of the upper Lower Permian and the Middle and Upper Triassic in the lndo-China epoch. While, the geothermal gradient and the weak tectonic geothermal event of the Early Yanshan Movement provided necessary heat for the maturation of source rock in coal-bearing strata of the Middle and Lower Jurassic.     

Magmatic character and geotectonic setting of some tertiary-quaternary Italian volcanic rocks: Orogenic,anorogenic and «Transitional» association — A review

Discrimination functions based on major element distribution (Pearce, 1976) can be used to define the different basalt types of the Tyrrhenian and Perityrrhenian areas in an attempt to clarify their geodynamic significance.The future Tyrrhenian and Perityrrhenian areas have been affected since Oligocene by either compressional (subduction related) or transitional processes which produced well-defined orogenic and anorogenic magmas. A local development of «transitional» magma types, characteristic of «anomalous» volcanic arcs, also occurred with geochemical features that are intermediate between within-plate and orogenic magmas.The eruption of orogenic rock suites (calcalkaline, shoshonitic and leucite-bearing rocks) took place along the Apennine border on the east and southeast of the Tyrrhenian basin from Upper Miocene to Quaternary (Aeolian and neighbouring seamounts; Campania; Latium; Capraia Island). Absence of spatial zonation and interlayering of products with a various potassic character are the peculiar features of these rocks that appear to be originated from a heterogeneous and variously metasomatized mantle source by the influx of fluids (H₂O andLile enrichment) from the subduction zone affecting the Apennine-Maghrebides collisional front during Tertiary times.In the central Tyrrhenian area oceanic tholeiitic magmatism and creation of a new oceanic crust occurred from Upper Miocene. This activity was probably accomplished by Lower Pliocene when a within-plate volcanism produced the seamounts of the Batial Plain (Magnaghi, Vavilov, base of the Marsili Smts.).Etna and Ustica volcanisms occurring along the Perityrrhenian border on the south and west the Aeolian volcanism respectively, show geochemical characteristics that are transitional between anorogenic and orogenic magmas which could indicate some influence of fluids subduction-related to their mantle sources.The complex magmatic situation of the Tyrrhenian and Perityrrhenian areas may be caused by magma-producing events either from unmodified (anorogenic) or variously modified mantle sources (transitional to orogenic) depending on their proximity to and influenced by the Cainozoic subduction zone which developed along the Apennines-Maghrebides collisional front.     

地幔快速隆起对构造地震的触发作用

本文应用弹性半无限空间内均匀膨胀的球体对球上介质的作用,作为地幔快速上涌触发构造地震的力学模型。按照地面垂直位移的年变化率,利用这个模型反推出这种虚拟的膨胀球的半径和膨胀强度。並计算出它在地壳中产生的附加应力。尽管此种附加应力比驱动地壳水平运动的力要小得多,但它能在高倾角断层上引起张性的法向应力,而且在隆起区内还有较高的附加剪应力。这些应力比固体潮、地极移动和地球转速变化等因素产生的附加应力都大得多。因此,地幔快速上涌对构造地震的触发作用应该比上述诸因素更大。由于近十余年来我国不少地区的走滑型强震大都发生在地壳上隆区或者在其边缘,而且发震断层都是高倾角断层,因此,本文能够对此作粗浅的解释。     

On Poisson's ratio and composition of the Earth's lower mantle

Poisson's ratio of the lower mantle, calculated from recently published values of seismic wave velocities and extrapolated to atmospheric pressure and room temperature is found to be in the range 0.23 ⩽ ν ⩽ 0.25. These values are compared with the values of Poisson's ratio calculated for binary mixtures of MgSiO₃ perovskite and magnesiowüstite with various iron contents. Current values of the experimental error on measured elastic moduli give little hope to be able to discriminate between pyrolite and chondritic lower mantles: both are acceptable if the shear modulus of perovskite is in the upper range of Liebermann et al. estimates. A similar calculation using the seismic parameter φ confirms the results obtained by considering Poisson's ratio and further constrains the value of the shear modulus of perovskite to lie between 1600 and 1700 kilobars for current mantle models to remain plausible. Chemical stratification of the mantle is, therefore, possible but not required by seismological data.     

地核中MHD波的惯性模

地球外核处于高温、高压、高密度的等离子体状态,可以支持多种磁流体波的激发和传播。在地核中存在强的环型磁场,沿磁力传播的MHD波受到地球旋转的影响,分成东行的惯性模和西行的磁模,这两种波模具有高度色散的特点。其中西行磁模波与地磁场长期变化和西漂有关。东行惯性模波具有数天到数百天的周期,其磁效应被导电地幔所屏蔽,传不到地表,但它与下地幔物质可能发生力学耦合,在地幔中产生周期变化的力学过程,这种影响可能达及地表并在地表的地球物理现象中表现出来,它可能是某些周期性或韵律性地球物理现象的原因之一。     

The Chandler annual resonance and its possible geophysical significance

The secular decrease of the earth's rotation rate has caused the Chandler and annual modes of the earth's wobble to resonate in the past. The physics of the resonance is discussed as well as its thermal impact on the mantle. Energy of the order of 10²⁶ erg/year were dissipated in the upper mantle during the resonance. Estimates of the epoch and duration of the resonance place them at about 185 m.y. ago and about 10 m.y., respectively. The possibility of a causal connection between the resonance and the onset of continental drift is suggested.     

A Jurassic-Cretaceous island arc in the Ladakh-Himalayas

The Ladakh Mesozoic ophiolite belt (western Himalaya) contains a pile of volcanic thrust sheets (Dras unit) which differ significantly in structure and composition from the ophiolitic mélange zones. The Dras unit is composed of pillow lavas, doleritic sills, very irregular basaltic (?basaltic andesites) and dacitic flows intercalated with pyroclastics, volcanoclastic sediments and radiolarian cherts. According to fossil evidence, this volcanism must have been active between Upper Jurassic and Upper Cretaceous.The presence of relict primary minerals, such as magnesiochromite, clinopyroxene, hastingsitic hornblende and Ti-magnetite as well as distinctive bulk chemistries, suggests that the volcanics belong to island arc tholeiite and to calc-alkaline rock series, typical of present island arcs in the Caribbean and Pacific.Model calculations incorporating probed phenocryst phases indicate that in addition to olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase, amphibole and titanomagnetite are crucial fractionating phases in the development of the dacites from a primitive tholeiitic melt. The latter process must have taken place at about 1000°C and at moderate depth of 5–15 km within or underneath the island arc. Today, hornblende-bearing mafic cumulates appear in the vicinity of Kargil within and close to the Dras volcanics.In a Sr-evolution diagram, the Dras volcanics have yielded a “pseudo-isochron” with a low initial ratio of 0.7035 ± 0.0003, which is in the same range as the mean of modern island arc volcanics. However, a geologically unrealistic age of 263 m.y., is obtained from the slope of this isochron.The upper mantle is regarded as the source material for the island arc tholeiitic magmas. Enrichment in K, Ba, Sr and LREE supports the involvement of components derived from dehydration or incipient melting of subducted Tethyan oceanic crust in the mantle.     

南北地震带北段的远震P波层析成像研究

本文利用“中国地震科学台阵”探测项目在南北地震带北段布设的678个流动地震台站在2013年10月至2015年4月期间记录到的远震波形数据,经过波形互相关拾取到473个远震事件共130309条P波走时残差数据,通过远震层析成像研究获得了该区（30°N-44°N,96°E-110°E）下方0.5°×0.5°的P波速度扰动图像.结果显示,研究区下方P波速度结构显示强烈的不均一性和显著的分区、分块特征.岩石圈速度结构具有显著的东西差异：祁连、西秦岭和松潘甘孜地块组成的青藏东北缘地区显示明显的低速异常,而属于克拉通性质的鄂尔多斯地块和四川盆地则显示高速异常,表明东部克拉通块体对青藏高原物质的东向挤出起到了强烈的阻挡作用.阿拉善地块显示出弱高速和局部弱低速的异常并存的特征.阿拉善地块西部显示低速异常,而东部与鄂尔多斯相邻的地区显示高速异常,可能表明该地区的岩石圈的变形主要受到青藏高原东北缘的挤压作用.在鄂尔多斯和四川盆地之间的秦岭下方100~250 km深度上表现为明显的低速异常,表明该处可能存在软流圈物质的运移通道.鄂尔多斯北部的河套裂陷盆地下方在100~500 km深度内低速异常表现明显,说明该区有深部热物质上涌且至少来源于地幔过渡带.青藏东北缘上地幔显示低速异常且地幔过渡带中出现明显的高速异常,这种结构模式暗示了在青藏高原东北缘可能发生了岩石圈拆沉作用,而高速异常体可能是拆沉的岩石圈地幔.
