中国北方大陆及邻区岩石圈演化及与大规模成矿作用关系

根据地质和地球物理特征,中国北方大陆可区分为造山带型和裂谷型两类岩石圈,其中造山带型又可区分出分别代表古生代、中生代和新生代物质结构的造山带型岩石圈:在从空间上,自西向东分别由以天山为代表的新生代造山带型、以额济纳旗为代表的古生代造山带型、以大兴安岭为代表的燕山期造山带型和张广才岭为代表的新生代裂谷型岩石圈组成,反映了古生代形成的中亚造山带在中新生代大陆动力学过程中的分异演化,导致不同类型岩石圈形成和陆壳、岩石圈地幔物质组成、结构的不均一性,以及构成大规模成矿作用大体上以E110°为界,西部主要为晚古生代,东部主要为中生代的格局.简要讨论了不同岩石圈类型的壳幔物质、结构的地质含义,以及区域找矿方向和深部找矿空间问题.     

松辽盆地形成、发展与岩石圈动力学

根据区域构造环境、深部构造机制、火山活动的时间序列以及盆地几何学、运动学特征,分析了松辽盆地形成与发展的岩石圈动力学问题。提出古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆下俯冲引起热流上升,由此导致裂谷期前火山作用和岩石圈热与机械减薄,裂谷期上地壳伸展发育成裂谷盆地,火山活动减弱。随着陆缘陆块拼贴,俯冲带长距离后退,处于热异常的岩石圈开始向热平衡转化,盆地由伸展转化为坳陷。     

大陆下地壳拆沉模式初探

下地壳拆沉是人们关注的问题,文中指出下地壳拆沉必须满足至少三个条件：（1）地壳加厚使其下部达到熘辉岩相是拆沉的前提.（2）大规模岩浆活动使大量低密度的中酸性物质移出下地壳,使下地壳密度增加直至超过下伏地幔.由于下地壳榴辉岩石部分熔融所形成的岩浆具有埃达克岩的地球化学特征,因此,大规模魂达克岩的熔出是下地壳拆沉的先决和必要条件.（3）岩石圈地幔转化为软流圈地幔,使下地壳能够进入地幔.陆壳下的岩石圈地幔原先是冷的、刚性的和不易流动的，如果有热和水的加入，可以被软化，使其变成热的、塑性的和易流动的软流圈地幔。因此，岩石圈了幔转化为软流圈地幔是下地壳拆沉的必要条件。作者认为，下地壳不大可能整体拆沉，而很可能是一块一块如飘雪花似地拆沉。如果下地壳的密度降低（低于下伏地幔），如果地幔停止热的供给，如果陆壳底部的软流圈地幔幔又恢复为岩石圈地幔，拆沉即终止。文中讨论了中国东部中生代下地壳拆沉的可能性，探讨了岩石圈减薄的机制，认为下地壳不需要也不可能与岩石圈地幔一道拆况。     

非洲中南部铜多金属矿床研究现状及找矿潜力分析

非洲中南部地区的铜资源主要分布在赞比亚、刚果(金)和南非等12个国家,笔者根据非洲陆壳的形成、后期新元古代泛非运动及古生代—新生代的沉积作用等影响,将除非洲大陆西北缘,从摩洛哥到突尼斯的阿特拉斯山脉以外的非洲大陆划分为Ⅰ级构造单元;以新元古代泛非运动作为标志将非洲陆块划分为西非克拉通、东北非克拉通、中非克拉通、南非克拉通和泛非构造带5个Ⅱ级构造单元;将中南部非洲地区划分为28个Ⅲ级构造单元。在此基础上,笔者将非洲大陆划分为Ⅰ级成矿域,中南部非洲划分为南非克拉通金-铁-锰-铬-镍-铀-金刚石成矿省、中非克拉通金-铜-铁-钨-锡-铌-钽-金刚石成矿省和泛非构造带成矿省3个Ⅱ级成矿省及32个Ⅲ级成矿区(带),其中12个成矿区(带)与铜矿床有关。从地质特征及矿床成因方面对主要成矿区(带)中代表性的沉积变质-改造型铜钴矿床、与镁铁—超镁铁岩侵入体有关的铜镍矿床、与绿岩带有关的铜矿床、与碳酸岩体有关的铜矿床和与灰岩有关的铜多金属矿床进行了系统的总结。在缺乏重点地区物化探资料的条件下,笔者根据非洲中南部铜资源分布的国家、构造单元的划分、成矿区(带)的划分及代表性矿床特征,将非洲中南部地区初步划分为5个铜多金属矿找矿潜力区,并进行了初步的找矿潜力分析。     

松辽盆地成因演化与软流圈对流模式

松辽盆地位于中国东北,是晚中生代在活动大陆边缘上发育的裂谷-坳陷盆地。松辽盆地有两个特点:一是裂谷期前火山岩分布以盆地西部的大兴安岭厚度大、面积大,盆地东部靠近俯冲边缘火山岩分布厚度、面积变小;二是裂谷期主要发育东倾控坳断层。由此推测在板块俯冲牵引作用下,在楔形区产生单向环流。单向环流在大兴安岭一带上升,在地表形成强烈的火山作用,然后沿岩石圈底部向东运动,并逐渐转变为下降流,火山作用也逐渐减弱。单向环流由上升流逐渐转入近平流后,对岩石圈底面施加单向剪切牵引作用,岩石圈伸展在脆性上地壳形成主要东倾控坳断层。单向环流可以源源不断地从深部将热能和动能带到浅部,满足岩石圈减薄和伸展的需要。而且用单向环流解释活动大陆边缘和弧后区火山岩的成分极性可能更趋于实际。     

陆缘扩张型地洼盆地系构造-岩浆作用的独特性──以南海北部陆缘盆地系为例

南海北部陆缘扩张型地洼盆地系既显示了裂谷构造的某些一般性特征,又以其位于大陆壳体与大洋壳体相互作用的东亚陆缘地带;具有复杂的动力场和应力场环境;张裂发生于华夏型地洼余动期;发育由陆变海、陆海相交替的沉积建造;出现由钙碱性岩系、双峰式岩系到拉斑玄武岩和碱性玄武岩系的岩浆演化序列;形成宽阔而弥散的拉伸变形带,具条块状分割的构造格局,总体表现为由大陆盆岭型构造带（地壳张裂）发展到陆缘海盆地系（岩石圈张裂）的演变过程;强烈而持久的地壳运动,发生多幕式拉伸-造盆作用,晚期并在局部出现挤压（反转）构造;以及含丰富油气等矿产资源而展示特色。比较学研究进一步表明,地洼区的裂谷构造可以分出两种基本类型：①华夏型,其中包括东亚陆缘式和里奥格兰德陆内式两种亚型,它们是在地洼型挤压造山阶段之后发生拉伸裂陷;②东非型,它们是在古老克拉通（地台）基础上发生张裂,形成裂谷型地洼区。     

太行山中生代板内造山作用与华北大陆岩石圈巨大减薄

近年来,华北大陆岩石圈巨大减薄成为国际地学界关注的焦点之一,但对其减薄的时间、机制仍然知之甚少。约束条件的多解性和表面上相互矛盾的证据导致了对区域构造发展史的模糊认识。笔者认为,华北板内造山过程是理解岩石圈巨大减薄机制的关键,因为华北岩石圈是在造山带而不是在克拉通基础上开始减薄过程的。岩石圈减薄过程可以划分为拆沉减薄、伸展减薄、热减薄和化学侵蚀减薄4种类型。前者依赖于岩石圈重力不稳定性,是一种突变过程;后三者取决于软流圈挤出构造,属于渐变过程。减薄过程主要始于120~110Ma的拆沉减薄,其标志是造山后脉岩组合的形成。亚洲大陆软流圈的多阶段汇聚过程造成软流圈向东挤出,是中国东部中新生代以来岩石圈持续减薄的重要基础。因此,大陆动力学与大洋最重要的区别之一就是大陆岩石圈经常发生减薄作用,特别是拆沉作用,并由此将软流圈系统区分为浅部混染系统和深部纯净系统,火成岩的地球化学属性主要取决于岩浆起源的深度。     

东亚西太平洋岩石圈三维结构及其地幔动力学

欧亚大陆及其边缘海地区是由约30多块尺度不同、形成时代和性质各异的板块或地块拼合而成。这些岩石圈板块或地块经过长时间的漂移,多次聚合与分离,碰撞与增生,在新生代最后形成现代的拼合欧亚大陆。欧亚大陆及其边缘海的板块或地块可以分为以下六类:(1)前寒武纪巨型克拉通地块及地盾;(2)前寒武纪小型克拉通地块及板块;(3)显生宙造山带及汇聚地块;(4)陆陆碰撞型地块及造山带;(5)新生代边缘海海盆;(6)大陆裂谷盆地及增生地块。高分辨率地震面波层析成像,显示同一类型的板块或地块的岩石圈和软流圈的速度结构十分相似,呈现出其独有的速度分布特征。不同类型板块或地块的速度结构有重大差异。直到400km深度,各个板块和地块的横向差异才逐渐减小。一般而言,前寒武纪克拉通板块及地块的岩石圈巨厚具有高速性质、软流圈很薄或不存在;边缘海、造山带等区域岩石圈较薄和速度较低,软流圈发育。根据欧亚大陆及边缘海地区天然地震层析成像,人工地震剖面数据及其他有关资料,建立了欧亚大陆及其边缘海岩石圈模型。     

华北克拉通东部早白垩世伸展盆地的发育过程及其对克拉通的破坏

在晚侏罗世华北克拉通东部破坏之初出现了区域性隆起,全区缺失上侏罗统沉积。在早白垩世早期,出现了区域性的伸展活动,断陷盆地形成,克拉通南、北缘伸展活动最强,北部燕山构造带以出现变质核杂岩为特征,南部出现宽裂谷型盆地。早白垩世中期华北克拉通东部普遍出现了火山活动与岩浆侵入。早白垩世晚期克拉通上以出现窄裂谷型盆地为特征,沿北北东走向的郯庐断裂带断陷活动最强。这些断陷盆地的演化过程揭示,经历地表抬升后,克拉通破坏之初的岩石圈热而弱,从而形成变质核杂岩或宽裂谷型盆地。这期间的破坏强度在空间上具有不均匀分布的特征,受控于早期岩石圈地幔的结构。经过早白垩世中期的大量岩浆活动之后,早白垩世晚期克拉通岩石圈温度降低、强度变大,从而利用早期大型断裂构造形成窄裂谷型盆地。这现象支持华北克拉通东部晚中生代的岩石圈减薄是以逐渐拆沉机制为主。     

中朝断块区新生代玄武岩与该区上地幔成分特征

中生代时期,西太平洋强烈地喷发了安第斯型钙碱性火山岩,新生代时期,东亚大陆火山岩浆活动转为以玄武岩浆喷发为主,中朝断块区的新生代玄武岩是其中具有代表性的一部分。六十年代至七十年代初,对玄武岩、金伯利岩及其中深源超镁铁质包体所进行的世界规模的研究,扩展了人们对上地幔的认识。     

板内造山作用与成矿

中国大陆广泛分布强烈的板内变形和造山作用,传统的板块构造理论常常将其解释为板块边缘汇聚力的远程效应。然而,中国大陆的板内造山作用与汇聚板块边界之间缺乏可预期的动力学联系,不能简单地解释为大陆碰撞或板块俯冲的远程效应。本文提出另一种可供选择的解释,认为板内变形主要取决于岩石圈不均一性。相邻的板块拼合在一起形成统一板块之后,区域地质演化进入板内阶段。板块碰撞导致的岩石圈不均一性和重力不稳定性可以触发强烈的板内变形甚至造山作用,其延迟时间的长短取决于岩石圈不稳定性的程度和地球深部的热扰动。与板缘造山带相比,板内造山作用缺少板块俯冲-碰撞过程,板内造山带的演化历史相对简单,通常是以岩石圈拆沉作用开始,以地壳的垂向增生为特征,最后以岩石圈拆沉作用结束或形成重力不稳定岩石圈。因此,板内造山作用一般沿着古造山带发育。古造山带岩石圈结构低成熟度的特点不仅是岩石圈不稳定性的主要原因之一,而且由于挥发分和含矿元素的富集在活化过程中具有很强的成矿潜力。板内造山带的成矿作用依赖于深埋在岩石圈-软流圈系统不同深度水平上含矿流体的突然释放,主要发生在造山作用初始阶段和造山后伸展阶段。     

Seismic structure and rheology of the crust under mainland China

The crust and upper mantle in mainland China were relatively densely probed with wide-angle seismic profiling since 1958, and the data have provided constraints on the amalgamation and lithosphere deformation of the continent. Based on the collection and digitization of crustal P-wave velocity models along related wide-angle seismic profiles, we construct several crustal transects across major tectonic units in mainland China. In our study, we analyzed the seismic activity, and seismic energy releases during 1970 and 2010 along them. We present seismogenic layer distribution and calculate the yield stress envelopes of the lithosphere along the transects, yielding a better understanding of the lithosphere rheology strength beneath mainland China. Our results demonstrate that the crustal thicknesses of different tectonic provinces are distinctively different in mainland China. The average crustal thickness is greater than 65 km beneath the Tibetan Plateau, about 35 km beneath South China, and about 36–38 km beneath North China and Northeastern China. For the basins, the thickness is ~ 55 km beneath Qaidam, ~ 50 km beneath Tarim, ~ 40 km beneath Sichuan and ~ 35 km beneath Songliao. Our study also shows that the average seismic P-wave velocity is usually slower than the global average, equivalent with a more felsic composition of crust beneath the four tectonic blocks of mainland China resulting from the complex process of lithospheric evolution during Triassic and Cenozoic continent–continent and Mesozoic ocean–continent collisions. We identify characteristically different patterns of seismic activity distribution in different tectonic blocks, with bi-, or even tri-peak distribution of seismic concentration in South Tibet, which may suggest that crustal architecture and composition exert important control role in lithosphere deformation. The calculated yield stress envelopes of lithosphere in mainland China can be divided into three groups. The results indicate that the lithosphere rheology structure can be described by jelly sandwich model in eastern China, and crème brulee models with weak and strong lower crust corresponding to lithosphere beneath the western China and Kunlun orogenic belts, respectively. The spatial distribution of lithospheric rheology structure may provide important constraints on understanding of intra- or inter-plate deformation mechanism, and more studies are needed to further understand the tectonic process(es) accompanying different lithosphere rheology structures.     

中国大地构造单元新格局——从岩石圈角度的思考

以中国大陆的岩石圈岩石学结构模型和根据岩石圈动力学性质划分的克拉通型、造山带型、裂谷型、边缘海洋壳型和岛弧型5大岩石圈类型为基础,结合现今中国大陆西部挤压、东部拉张伸展的特点,提出以四川盆地、鄂尔多斯盆地和银川盆地西边界的岩石圈不连续为界,把中国大陆分为东部和西部2个一级构造单元;不同类型岩石圈为其二级构造单元,一些造山带型岩石圈的亚类为三级构造单元,并结合地质历史,简要讨论了其形成过程及其意义。     

非洲矿业发展概况

矿业是非洲多数国家的支柱性产业之一,在其国民经济发展中起着关键性作用。本文综合中国地质调查局天津地质调查中心(南部非洲)和中国地质调查局武汉地质调查中心(北部非洲)取得的阶段性研究成果对非洲矿业发展情况进行了简要总结。39个非洲主要国家中,最新年度矿业产值超过150亿美元的国家有7个,矿业产值占其GDP的比例超过6%的国家有24个,近10年矿业产值占其GDP的平均比例超过6%的国家有22个。非洲大陆以冈瓦纳构造域为主体,其下伏基底主要为太古宙至古元古代变质沉积岩、变质岩浆岩和岩浆岩,内部的太古宙克拉通常被一系列新元古代造山带所包围,部分基底被泛非期岩浆岩侵入。非洲大陆构造演化主要包括古老克拉通陆核的形成阶段(>35亿年)、克拉通演化阶段(35～16.5亿年)、地台发育和陆内裂解阶段(16.5～6亿年)、地台盖层和大断裂发育阶段(6亿年以来)等四个阶段,以新元古代泛非事件为标志可以将非洲大陆进一步划分为5个Ⅱ级构造单元。非洲地区优势矿产主要包括石油、天然气、金、铁、钴、铜、铅锌、铝土矿、铀、钾盐等近30种,本文详细介绍了镍、钴、铬、铜、铁等11个矿种的矿业项目、储量和资源量以及矿床...     

Tectonics and magmatism in eastern South America and the Brazil basin of the Atlantic in the Phanerozoic

The magmatic and tectonic activity of eastern South America and the western South Atlantic shows that extension of the continental crust is the determinant factor of magmatism. Heating of the upper mantle is a necessary condition of its manifestation. Ascending plume material is a source of additional heat. In the Early Mesozoic, Eastern Brazil was situated above a large, ascending and probably ramifying plume, which has supplied heat and material since the Triassic, creating favorable conditions for continental magmatism. Magmatic activity continued, gradually waning, until the Neogene as evidence for long-term retention of heat energy beneath the continental lithosphere after the plume ascent. It has been shown that heated mantle material can be displaced from the continent to the ocean for a significant distance beneath the lithosphere with the formation of linear tectonomagmatic rises of the oceanic crust. The structural elements inherited certain directions on the continent and in the ocean, beginning from the Neoproterozoic. These directions were reactivated and continued to control the younger structural grain and magmatic activity. In Southeastern Brazil, these were the structural units striking in the southeastern (about 120° SE) and northeastern directions parallel to the continent-ocean boundary. In Northeastern Brazil, the W-E- and N—S-trending structural units are predominant. All these directions are manifested in oceanic structural units (Rio Grande, Vitória-Trindadi, Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco rises, etc.).     

Timing of collision initiation and location of the Scandian orogenic suture in the Scandinavian Caledonides

The Scandinavian Caledonides represent a classical example of a deeply eroded Himalayan‐style orogen formed during Baltica–Laurentia continent collision. We propose that initial contact along continental‐margin promontories led to a drop in convergence rate, resulting in increased slab rollback along parts of the margin still undergoing oceanic subduction. Slab rollback caused extension of the overlying lithosphere with orogen‐wide emplacement of mafic layered intrusions, ophiolite formation and bimodal magmatism at 438–434 Ma, in what immediately thereafter became the upper plate (Laurentia) in the Scandian continent–continent collision. A compilation of magmatic ages provides evidence of long‐lived, Ordovician arc magmatism in units above the suture, which is essentially absent below the suture. This model provides a tight constraint on the timing of collision initiation, and provides a framework by which tectonic units comprising the Scandinavian Caledonides can be assigned a Baltican or more exotic heritage.     

Paleolithospheric structure revealed by continental geoid anomalies

Lithospheric geoid anomalies record changes in elevation and potential energy experienced by continental lithosphere. Estimates of local isostatic equilibration and potential energy, in tandem with lithosphere-related geoid anomalies, can be used to estimate paleolithospheric thickness, providing a clearer understanding of how and why continental topography is developed. We employ several simplifying assumptions about the crustal and mantle lithosphere density and structure (and readily acknowledge that our results are therefore first-order approximations) to predict the pre-orogenic structure of the lithosphere. At the outset we emphasize that while this approach does not provide an exhaustive evaluation of the deformation mechanism, it does serve to quantify the relative role played by the variations in the crustal and upper mantle components of the lithosphere. In this way we are able to use independent measurement of lithospheric geoid anomalies, current (post-orogenic) elevation and lithospheric structure, and paleoelevation information to estimate topographic development and structural support over time. Application of this technique to the southwestern United States indicates that the uplift of the Colorado Plateau is the result of processes in both the crust and mantle lithosphere and that the lithosphere of the pre-orogenic Southern Basin and Range was thinned relative to the Northern Basin and Range and Colorado Plateau. Although we use the southwestern U.S. as an example, this method can help constrain uplift mechanisms for any region for which the structure and geoid anomaly of the modern lithosphere is well understood.     

On Geophysical Background of Superlarge Deposits in the Chinese Continent

Based on the study of tens of geophysical profiles (seismic, geothermal flow and magnetotelluric sounding profiles) and 3-D shear wave velocity structures of the Chinese continent and its neighbouring regions, this paper describes the 3-D crustal and upper mantle structures and discusses briefly the deep geophysical background of superlarge ore deposits in the Chinese continent. Superlarge deposits are usually very few in number, but they are distributed still in certain forms such as "point", "zone" and "area". Most of the large-, medium- and small-sized deposits occur near the margins of different tectonic units; while the superlarge endogenic polymetallic deposits occur mostly in thinned mantle lithosphere, uplifts of the asthenosphere (vertical low-velocity zones) and the transformation zones of lateral inhomogeneity (weak zones) in the upper mantle. The superlarge endogenic polymetallic deposits are almost unevenly distributed in three major ore zones in China, corresponding to the boundaries of in     

地球史中的构造活动论和发展阶段论

从全球构造的活动论和地壳演化的发展阶段论出发,简要地讨论如下科学问题:(1)岩石圈形成;(2)中国大陆形成和演化;(3)造山过程;(4)裂谷作用过程中的某些问题。研究认为:(1)岩石圈不是地球形成时就已存在了,亦不是一次形成的,而是对流地幔(或软流圈)多次(或多阶段)分异形成的;基于岩浆作用、沉积作用、变质作用和成矿作用等在地球发展历史中长远阶段性的变化的可能指示,提出岩石圈-软流圈系统的不可逆的长远期阶段性变化特征,并可划分为若干阶段。(2)基于对中国大陆形成与演化的大阶段的研究,认为显生宙以来,中国大陆是由塔里木、扬子、中朝、华夏、蒙古和印度等陆块经过多个阶段的造山运动,镶嵌组装在一起的一个复合大陆,其拼合组装的各个阶段的洋陆分布的格局是不一样的,这种构造重组一定伴随岩石圈-软流圈动力系统的重组和构造体制的重大转换。(3)燕山带燕山期可识别出5个造山幕,每个造山幕的岩浆作用、沉积建造、变质作用、变形方式均有差异,造山过程的幕式阶段性标志明显;并认为华北地区现今面积的大小,并不能代表侏罗纪-白垩纪时的状态,燕山带的面积在侏罗纪—白垩纪时期远比现在的小。(4)提出华北大陆裂谷作用在古近纪与新近纪—第四纪的伸展作用是两次幕式事件,而不是前人认为的一次事件的两个相,同时,认为古近纪的断陷性质盆地发育对应纯剪切机制,而新近纪—第四纪拗陷性质盆地发育对应于分布剪切机制。(5)认为燕山期和喜山期华北地区岩石圈减薄作用的机制、过程不同,分属两个不同的阶段的动力学系统,而不是一个连续的渐变过程。     

论胶东地区中生代岩石圈减薄的证据及其动力学机制

胶东地区可划分为两个大地构造单元：胶北断块和胶南造山带。前者为华北板块组成部 分，后者为华北和扬子板块的碰撞拼合带。五莲－青岛－海阳－牟平深断裂构成上述两个构造单 元的边界。本文从地质（陆壳隆升、构造岩浆活动与断陷盆地形成）和地球物理（重、磁异常与地震 测深）两个方面论述了胶东地区中生代经历了两个不同构造演化时期：前期（Ｔ３－Ｊ２）陆壳隆升和后 期（Ｊ－Ｋ）陆壳拉伸。我们认为，岩石圈减薄的动力学条件是与库拉－太平洋板块以不同边界类型 向欧亚大陆俯冲以及郯庐断裂以不同方式的强烈活动密切相关。在综合分析基础上建立了胶东地 区岩石圈减薄的动力学模式。
