A new equivalent map projection called the parallels plane projection is proposed in this paper. The transverse axis of the parallels plane projection is the expansion of the equator and its vertical axis equals half the length of the central meridian. On the parallels plane projection, meridians are projected as sine curves and parallels are a series of straight, parallel lines. No distortion of length occurs along the central meridian or on any parallels of this projection. Angular distortion and the proportion of length along meridians (except the central meridian) introduced by the projection transformation increase with increasing longitude and latitude. A potential application of the parallels plane projection is that it can provide an efficient projection transformation for global discrete grid systems.
Regular distribution patterns of elements Ca, Sr, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ti, Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr, Rb, Ba, Cd, and U in Late
Quaternary strata have been studied in detail. The regional variation patterns of elements in these strata are similar to
those in recent surface sediments, showing that the sedimentary environment has been relatively stable since Late Quaternary.
Element distribution changes with the variations of lithological characters. Contents of Ca and Sr increase in coarse sediments,
while those of other elements decrease. Na content increases in the pumice layer. Mn, content tends to increase sharply towards
the surface layer. Ca content decreases sharply in strata where water depth is more than 2,000 m. The strata can be divided
based on the distribution curves of element assemblages. The variations in contents of most elements in Holocene Series are
smaller than those in Late Pleistocene Series, which might be related to the factors of glacial and interglacial changes,
sea level fluctuations and material source differences.

The rapid shrinkage of the surface area reflects the long-term deficit water budget of Qinghai Lake. Study of the yearly hydrology and meteorology in the lake catchment basin and the hydrologic factors as well as water budget led to the conclusion that evaporation exceeding the water input resulted in the drop of lake level, thai the obvious decrease of runoff to the lake and precipitation on the catchment accelerated the falling of lake level before 1987. and that increase of about 6.7% in rainfall on the whole basin will balance the lake's water budget. 相似文献
It has been proven in exploration practice that thecarbonates in China not only can generate hydrocar-bons, but also form commercial reservoirs. The car-bonates are different from clastic rocks in view of theirdeposition environment as well as their sedimentaryand diagenetic processes. Therefore, the evaluationcriteria and hydrocarbon generation mechanism forcarbonates can not be the same as that for clasticrocks, and it is important to establish a special hydro-carbon generation mechanism and… 相似文献
