Nature and Evolution of Pre-Neoproterozoic Continental Crust in South China: A Review and Tectonic Implications

South China as an amalgamation of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks is composed of Archean to Mesoproterozoic basement overlain by Neoproterozoic and younger cover. Both the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks contain well-preserved Neoproterozoic rocks that have been extensively studied in terms of the age and tectonic nature, but less is known about their earlier crustal history due to the incomplete rock record. Recent efforts in investigating the yet survived crustal nature based on isotopic and elemental signatures preserved in igneous and sedimentary rocks have steadily improved our knowledge about the pre-Neoproterozoic continental crustal evolution in South China. In this paper, we summarize the up-to-date pre-Neoproterozoic records, including petrological, geochronological, geochemical and geophysical data, across South China, and discuss its spatiotemporal patterns of the pre-Neoproterozoic crust and the relevant tectonic events. While the xenocrystic/inherited and detrital zircon records suggest widespread Archean (mainly ca. 2.5 Ga) crustal components within both the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, exposed Archean rocks are only limited to isolated crustal provinces in the Yangtze Block. These Archean rocks are dominated by TTGs (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) with varied ages (3.3–2.5 Ga) and zircon Hf isotopes, indicating a compositionally heterogeneous nature of the Archean Yangtze Block and, by inference, the development of multiple ancient terranes. The early Paleoproterozoic (2.4–2.2 Ga) tectonomagmatic events characterize the western Yangtze Block and are supportive of an east-west subdivision of the Yangtze basement, whereas the late Paleoproterozoic (2.1–1.7 Ga) orogeneses may have affected a larger area covering both the western and eastern parts of the Yangtze Block, and also the Cathaysia Block. The eastern Yangtze Block with generally northeastward-younging late Paleoproterozoic magmatism and metamorphism likely experienced a prolonged 2.05–1.75 Ga orogenic process welding the various Archean proto-continents, consistent with the documentation of a buried late Paleoproterozoic orogenic belt imaged by deep seismic profiling from its central part and of a slightly older ophiolitic mélange in the northern part. The Cathaysia Block was probably involved in a short-lived 1.9–1.8 Ga orogenic event. The two orogeneses overlapped in time and may have contributed to the cratonization of a possible unified South China, and are referred to be linked with the assembly of the Nuna Supercontinent. The subsequent late Paleoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic rift successions and intrusions (1.7–1.5 Ga) in the southwestern Yangtze Block, and the ca. 1.43 Ga rifting in Hainan Island of the Cathaysia Block could be responses to the Nuna break-up. Late Mesoproterozoic (1.2–1.0 Ga) magmatism of varied age and nature in different localities of the Yangtze Block is reflective of a complex tectonic process in the context of the assembly of the Rodinia Supercontinent. Similar-aged metamorphism (1.3–1.0 Ga) is recorded in Hainan Island, reflecting the Grenvillian continental collision during the Rodinia assembly, but further studies are necessary to better constrain the late Mesoproterozoic tectonic framework of South China.     

黑龙江流域洪峰水位特征分析

黑龙江流域地跨中、俄、蒙三国,沿岸地区洪水灾害频繁,在一定程度上制约了当地国民经济的发展。因此,有必要对流域的洪峰水位变化特征进行分析,为流域水资源管理提供可靠依据。结合SPSS对相邻两站的洪峰水位进行相关分析,相邻两水位站的相关系数均较大,成极显著相关,且有非常显著的统计学意义。经回归分析得出相邻两站间洪峰水位均成线性关系,且不包含常数项。降水量对洪峰水位影响分析表明,最大洪峰雨量的影响最为显著,其次是汛期雨量,相关关系最不显著的是年降水量。     

Groundwater System Division and Description of Asia

Based on landform, climate, river system, geological structure and hydrogeological structure and from the perspective of systematology, the groundwater system of Asia can be divided into 36 secondary groundwater systems under 11 primary ones by the intercontinental scale. This forms part of the work of the groundwater series map of Asia, which is compiled according to groundwater system division and evaluation of the total amount and types of aquifer, reflecting the large-scale features of groundwater resources in Asia. Systematic profiling of groundwater in this way provides a scientific basis for groundwater exploitation planning and management in Asia, and avoiding disputes over groundwater resources and the environment among Asian countries.     

大兴安岭中段东南部糜棱岩化花岗岩的Rb─Sr年龄

东北大兴安岭东南处扎兰屯地区东南部分布着糜棱岩化花岗岩,1∶20万地质图依据其产状及岩石特征将此类变形花岗质岩石划分为混合变质岩系,视为额尔古纳-兴安地块早元古代形成的结晶基底。该区糜棱岩化花岗岩带位于大兴安岭与松辽盆地的过渡带上,呈小面积不连续带状出露。研究表明,该区牦牛沟岩体眼球状糜棱岩化花岗岩的钾长石-全岩Rb─Sr等时线年龄为(173±3.45)Ma,锶初始值为0.733 0±0.000 61,明显高于区域中侏罗世花岗岩的锶初始值(0.705~0.710),糜棱岩化花岗岩的原始结晶年龄可能为古生代。根据野外地质观察和定向标本显微观测,牦牛沟北东向韧性构造变形带具左行走滑性质,该期左行走滑变形时代的确定对大兴安岭地区中生代区域构造演化具有重要意义。

黄河上游地区气候变化及其对黄河水资源的影响

通过对1961年以来黄河上游地区气候变化的分析,发现黄河源区进入80年代中后期以后,年平均气温上升趋势非常明显,特别是1998年的年平均气温竟达到-2.1℃,是40年来年平均气温最高的一年;进入90年代,春季和夏季温度急剧回升.黄河上游地区年平均降水量及秋季降水量无明显的变化趋势,且其年际间的波动趋于缓和;冬季(12～2月)和春季(3～5月)降水量的变化趋势呈现出逐年增多的趋势;夏季(6～8月)降水量变化趋势却表现出显著的减少趋势.同时,分析了38年黄河上游径流量及其与流域降水、气温的关系,着重分析了干旱气候对黄河水资源的影响.结果表明,黄河上游地区水资源呈减少趋势,其减少趋势进入90年代后尤为明显.这一变化趋势与黄河上游地区夏季降水量变化趋势有着一致性,说明汛期降水量的减少是黄河上游流量减少的最直接的气候因子.     

山西原平王家庄条带状磁铁石英岩矿床元素地球化学特征及其地质意义

山西原平王家庄铁矿床为五台山地区产出的条带状铁建造（BIF）的典型代表。含矿岩石为磁铁石英岩,围岩主要为斜长角闪岩、角闪变粒岩、石英片岩等。通过对变质岩的原岩恢复,得出其原岩主要为火山岩,具有从拉斑玄武岩向钙碱性火山岩演化的特点,局部有陆源碎屑的加入。微量元素中相对亏损Ta、Nb、Zr、Ti等高场强元素,相对富集K、Rb等大离子亲石元素,具有较低的w(Y)/w(Nb)比值,表明本区处于岛弧和活动大陆边缘带的构造环境。磁铁石英岩的稀土元素配分型式为向右缓倾斜的轻稀土富集型,具轻微铕正异常和轻微铈负异常,稀土元素特征表明BIF形成于典型的海洋环境,早太古代洋壳俯冲产出的高温气水热液对于BIF的沉积发挥了重要的作用。Eu轻微正异常说明本区火山活动较弱,海底高温热液对BIF的沉积贡献相对较少。BIF与其围岩在原始地幔标准化不相容元素蛛网图中的相关性说明二者有相同或相似的物质来源和成岩环境,二者同属一个沉积盆地,但却有不同的沉积过程和形成条件。     

微生物对绿脱石中有机质利用的研究

为了探索黏土矿物中含有的有机质能否被微生物利用以及微生物利用的效率,本文选取富三价铁的黏土矿物绿脱石NAu-2为还原对象,嗜热菌Thermus scotoductus SA-01,以及常温菌Shewanella putrefaciens CN-32为异化铁还原菌,分别在没有外加碳源的情况下对NAu-2结构铁进行还原。实验选取化学方法来测试Fe3+还原程度与还原速率,利用X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)、傅里叶转换红外光谱分析仪(FTIR)、扫描电镜(SEM)对黏土矿物还原产物进行矿物学表征,利用总碳/氮分析仪测试黏土矿物释放出来的溶解碳总量以及高效液相色谱仪来分析不同有机组分的含量。实验结果表明相对于常温菌CN-32,嗜热菌SA-01可以有效利用绿脱石中含有的微量有机质作为碳源。由此可知,黏土矿物经微生物作用后发生还原溶解,其吸附的有机质会随着溶解程度的升高不断释放到周围环境中;黏土矿物含有的有机质组分成分复杂,在不同温度环境下释放出来的有机质速率与种类有所不同。     

东昆仑小庙基性岩脉地球化学及LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年

东昆仑小庙辉绿岩脉侵位于前寒武纪金水口群变质基底中,岩石地球化学研究表明:它是以低TiO₂和较低的MgO,Nb、Ta亏损和Th富集为特征,贫P₂O₅,Na₂O＞K₂O, 富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba、Th、U、Sr和LREE,高场强元素分异明显,地壳源区对辉绿岩的影响很大,形成于大陆拉张带或裂谷初期环境。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年结果表明:1 996~2 428 Ma年龄可能代表岩浆捕获锆石年龄,形成于太古宙至古元古代的区域性构造热事件;3个较一致点的加权平均年龄（733.6±6.6） Ma（MSWD =0.038）为辉绿岩结晶年龄,可能代表了新元古代东昆仑地区裂解的时间,这与Rodinia超大陆裂解相对应。
