Pelagic Manganese Nodules--A New Type of Oncolites

Pelagic manganese nodules from the East Pacific Ocean have been studied using polarizing,scanning electron and transmission electron microscopes. It has been revealed that the manganesenodules are composed of cores and stromatolite coatings. The structures and textures of thesenodules are peculiar to oncolite. Consequently, the pelagic manganese nodules are manganeseoncolites. Based on the stromatolites in the coatings, the manganese oncolites from the East Paci-fic Ocean can be divided into two types. One is smooth on surface and dense inside. Its coatingsare composed mainly of Minima. The other has a knobby surface and is loose internally. Itscoatings consist mainly of Admirabilis. The TEM investigation has also revealed that the con-structors of the manganese oncolites are ultra-microbes. The Minima is constructed byMiniactinomyces chinensis sp. nov. and the Admirabilis is built by Spirisosphaerospora pacifica sp.nov.     

地质环境及其功能的控制与开发

地质环境是天然环境的一个组成部分，是人类居住和赖以生存的浅部地质空间。地质环境具有如下特征：空间性，其上限为地表，其下限视研究目的而定；稳定性，其环境要素是相对。稳定的；可变性，地质作用及人类活动可能改变局部地质环境；系统性，地质环境是一个由生物因素和非生物因素组成的环境系统，该系统本身具有恢复调节功能。地质环境的环境功能是指它对人类居住环境质量的影响。其影响有两种，一是使环境质量恶化的影响，是一种不良的功能；一是使环境质量得以保护和改善的影响，是一种良性功能。地质环境是环境工程的一种，是控制不良地质环境功能和开发良性地质环境功能的环境工程。地质环境工程是环境地质研究的一个新思路。地质环境工程包括有：地下水环境工程、控制不良地质环境的地质环境工程、净化废物的地质环境工程、贮存废物的地质环境工程、特殊地质环境的开发和利用。     

Isotope Geochemical Characteristics and Material Sources of Tin--Bearing Porphyries in South China

Tin-bearing porphyries in South China can be divided into the F-rich and F-poorsubtypes. They are high-silica (SiO_2>71%), peraluminous (A/NKC>1.0) and rich inincompatible elements (Rb, Zr, U, W, Sn) and have weak Ce (δCe=0.68-0.82) and strong Eu(δEu=0.01-0.38) negative anomalies. Meantime, they also have low δ_(Nd)(-6.3- -8.4), high~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb (15.588-15.790), medium to high (~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i (0.7084-0.7287) and relatively highδ~(18)O(9.1-10.3‰). These characteristics clearly suggest that the two subtypes of tin-bearingporphyries were derived from the crustal materials. Their differences lie only in the existence ofcertain different components in their source materials. Therefore, there is only one type oftin-bearing prophyry in South China. that is continental crust transformation type.     

A TWO-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL STUDY OF WIND SHELTERING EFFECTS OF SHELTERBELTS

Based on the dynamic and thermodynamic equations in the SBL,the protection characteristics and mech-anism of shelterbelts are numerically studied in this paper.The results are in consistent with those ob-served in fields and wind-tunnels.Research shows that the belts with a permeability of 0.3—0.4 have themaximum sheltering effects.The distance where wind speed reduces at least by 20% is at 18—19 times oftree height(H)behind belts.The protection distance reduces fast with the increase of the permeability andslowly with its decrease.The belts have weaker sheltering effects in upstream,generally beyond 6H infront of belts there are no sheltering effects.In addition,the belts with low permeability at top and highpermeability at bottom have much better sheltering effects than the belts with high permeability at top andlow permeability at bottom.The belts with 50% overall permeability reduce wind speed at least,by 20%at the distance of 5H on the leeward side and by 10% at 11H.When the air is unstable,the protectingeffects will be reduced.For the uniform belts with a permeability of 0.35,the distance where wind speedreduces at least by 20% is 15H under the unstable air and 13H under very unstable air.The belts reducethe turbulent diffusion coefficient at the bottom of belts,but increase it at the top.     

The numerical experiments on dynamic forcing by the Tibetan Plateau for various zonal flows

In this paper, the dynamic disturbances to various basic zonal currents caused by the Tibetan Plateau are simulated by means of a three-level primitive equation model, in which σ is used as the vertical coor-dinate. Four types of currents have been used, i. e. the barotropic homogeneous current, barotropic jet stream, baroclinic current and the zonal mean current in summer. The results are helpful to understand the dynamic effects of the Tibetan Plateau on the general circulation over East Asia.     

THE ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON AND ITS RELATIONS TO THE RAINFALL IN CHINA

In this paper, four problems are discussed: (1) the monsoon circulation over southern Asia; (2) the seasonal variation of the general circulation of the atmosphere; (3) the influence of the monsoon on the rainfall in southwestern China; and (4) the source region of water vapor for the rainfall in the Changjiang valley.

Analysis of Seismic Risk at an Engineering Site from Site Effect Seismic Intensity Data Using the Seismotectonic Method Taking Six Reservoir Dam Sites in Western Anhui as an Example

The seismotectonic method is used to study the seismogenic structures and the maximum potential earthquake around an engineering site in order to determine the seismic risk at the site. Analysis of seismic risk from site effect seismic intensity data, in combination with regional seismo-geologieal data, using the seismotectonic method can provide a more reliable result. In this paper, taking the area of six reservoir dam sites in western Anhui as an example, we analyze the seismic risk from site effect seismic intensity data in combination with the seismotectonic conditions and find that P (I≥i) = 10% over 50 years. The result shows that the seismogenic structure and the maximum potential earthquake have a controlling effect on seismic risk from future earthquakes in the area around the site.     

Cenozoic Adakite-type Volcanic Rocks in Qiangtang, Tibet and Its Significance

Volcanic rocks in the study area, including dacite, trachyandesite and mugearite, belong to the intermediate-acid, high-K calc-alkaline series, and possess the characteristics of adakite. The geochemistry of the rocks shows that the rocks are characterized by SiO2>59%, enrichment in A12O3(15.09-15.64%) and Na2O (>3.6%), high Sr (649-885 μg/g) and Sc, low Y contents (<17 μg/g), depletion in HREE (Yb<1.22 μg/g), (La/Yb)N>25, Sr/Y>40, MgO<3% (Mg<0.35), weak Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu=0.84-0.94), and lack of the high field strength elements (HFSE) (Nb, Ta, Ti, etc.). The Nd and Sr isotope data (87Sr/86Sr=0.7062-0.7079, 143Nd/144Nd=0.51166-0.51253, εNd= -18.61-0.02), show that the magma resulted from partial melting (10%-40%) of newly underplated basaltic lower crust under high pressure (1-4 GPa), and the petrogenesis is obviously affected by the crust's assimilation and fractional crystallization (AFC). This research will give an insight into the uplift mechanism of the Tibetan plateau.
