The Uplift of the Longmenshan Thrust Belt and Subsidence of the West Sichuan Foreland Basin

Based on fission track dating of apatite, and measurement of vitrinite reflectance of rock samples from the Longmenshan (Longmen Mountain)area and the West Sichuan foreland basin and computer modelling it is concluded that (l)the Songpan-Garze fold belt has uplifted at least by 3-4 km with an uplift rate of no less than 0.3-0.4 mm/a since 10 Ma B.P.; (2) the Longmenshan thrust nappe belt has uplifted at least by 5-6 km with an uplift rate of more than 0.5- 0.6 mm /a since 10 Ma B.P.; (3) the Longmenshan detachment belt has uplifted by 1 - 2 km at a rate of 0.016-0.032 mm/a since 60 Ma B.P.; (4) the West Sichuan foreland basin has uplifted by 1.7-3 km at a rate of 0.028-0.05 mm/a since 60 Ma B.P.; (5) the uplift rate of the area on the west side of the Beichuan-Yingxiu-Xiaoguanzi fault for the last 10 Ma is 40 times as much as that on its east side; (6) the uplifting of the the Songpan - Garze fold belt and the subsidence of the West Sichuan foreland basin 60 Ma ago exhibit a mirro-image correlation, i.e     

Behaviours of REE and Other Trace Elements During Pedological Weathering-Evidence from Chemical Leaching of Loess and Palaeosol from the Luochuan Section in Central China

The chemical leaching method is used for a systematic analysis of distribution characteristics of acid-soluble and acid-insoluble REE and other trace elements from the Luochuan loess deposits. The study shows that the acid-insoluble phase in loess and palaeosol is a stable component of old aeolian dusts and is characteristic of the provenance; the acid-soluble phase is the unstable component in the weathering pedogenic process and reflects rock-forming features after accumulation of aeolian dusts. The acid-insoluble REE and acid-soluble Sr and Pb can be used as geochemical indicators respectively to trace the provenance characteristics and the weathering pedogenic process.

金沉淀的一个可能机理——歧化反应

实验结果指出,在温度小于200℃的本实验条件下,金的溶解种类主要是AuCl_2~-和AuCl_4~-,AuCl_2~-.和AuCl_4~-的关系可用歧化反应式表示为3AuCl_2~-=2Au(s) AuCl_4~- 2Cl~-高的AuCl_2~-浓度有利于(1)式向右进行,logK_1随温度的升高而降低,讨论了通过歧化反应机理形成金矿床的可能性.     

马厂箐铜矿床黄铁矿流体包裹体He-Ar同位素体系

对马厂箐斑岩型铜矿黄铁矿中流体包裹体的氦、氩同位素研究表明,在~3He/~(36)Ar-~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar和~(40)Ar/~4He-Rc/Ra空间,流体包裹体的氦.氩同位素组成呈明显的正相关.由这种相关性确定出,成矿流体为地壳和地幔两个端元流体的混合物.其中,前者为富含地壳氦但具空气氩同位素组成特征、贫硫和碳等挥发份的大气成因低温地下水,后者为由形成马厂箐富碱斑岩体之壳慢混合岩浆分异出的富含硫和碳等挥发份的高温岩浆流体.

地球科学与全球社会——对《Geosciences and Human Society》一书评介

适值第30届国际地质大会十分成功地在北京召开之际,三个卓越的中国地球科学家,赵逊、银剑钊和杨岳清发表了一本新书——《Geosciences and Human Society》(《地质科学与人类社会》,地质出版社,北京,中国)。应该说,这本书是作者们早期有关学术观点之一的总结,即:在自然资源开发与环境保护之间找到一个平衡点。当然,就象一个硬币具有不同的两面一样,自然资源开发和环境保护这一命题是十分复杂的,它受控于多种因素,如自然条件、社会形
