New Late Jurassic palaeomagnetic data from the northern Sichuan basin: implications for the deformation of the Yangtze craton

Upper Jurassic red sandstones and red siltstones were collected from 67 layers at 12 localities in the Penglaizhen formation. This formation is in the north of Bazhong county (31.8°N, 106.7°E) in the Sichuan basin, which is located in the northern part of the Yangtze craton. Thermal demagnetization isolated a high-temperature magnetic component with a maximum unblocking temperature of about 690 °C from 45 layers. The primary nature of the magnetization acquisition is ascertained through the presence of magnetostratigraphic sequences with normal and reversed polarities, as well as positive fold and reversal tests at the 95 per cent confidence level. The tilt-corrected mean direction of 36 layers is D = 20.0°, I = 28.8° with α ₉₅ = 5.8°. A Late Jurassic palaeomagentic pole at 64.7°N, 236.0°E with A ₉₅ = 7.0° is calculated from the palaeomagnetic directions of 11 localities. This pole position agrees with the two other Late Jurassic poles from the northern part of the Yangtze craton. A characteristic Late Jurassic pole is calculated from the three poles (68.6°N, 236.0°E with A ₉₅ = 8.0°) for the northern part of the Yangtze craton. This pole position is significantly different from that for the southern part of the Yangtze craton. This suggests that the southern part of the Yangtze craton was subjected to southward extrusion by 1700 ± 1000  km with respect to the northern part. Intracraton deformation occurred within the Yangtze craton.     

Surface vertical displacements, potential perturbations andgravity changes of a viscoelastic earth model induced by internal point dislocations

Using the viscoelastic correspondence principle, we utilize the surface coseismic spheroidal deformation fields (i.e. vertical displacements, potential perturbations and gravity changes) of SNREI earth models caused by four typical types of point dislocation, derived by Sun & Okubo (1993 ), to deduce the fundamental formulas for spheroidal fields relevant to viscoelastic earth models. In computations, we employ a strike-slip dislocation on a vertical plane buried at the bottom of the lithosphere to estimate the maximal viscous relaxation responses to this kind of source that possibly exist on the surface of the earth. We take the seismic moment as 10²²  N  m, which is characteristic of an average large earthquake. The numerical results demonstrate that, if we take the viscosity as 10¹⁹  Pa  s in the asthenosphere, and 10²¹  Pa  s in the other mantle layers, the rates of surface vertical displacements and gravity changes within about 2.5° for the 10 postseismic years are respectively 1.5–8.1  cm  yr⁻¹ and 4.0–14.9  μgal  yr⁻¹ : the viscous relaxation for this mantle viscosity profile proceeds much faster than for a constant mantle viscosity of 10²¹  Pa  s.     

扬子地台西北缘前陆逆冲带及煤田构造特征

扬子地台西北缘前陆逆冲带(即龙门山逆冲带)的形成和演化控制着扬子地台内部及其西北缘煤炭资源的聚积和赋存。它可分为根带、中带、锋带三部分。根带无煤聚积,工业煤炭资源赋存在中带,锋带的煤系埋藏过深。前陆逆冲带内的煤田构造变形是适应前陆逆冲挤压应力作用的结果,以发育有冲断叠瓦扇、双冲构造、平行褶皱、斜歪褶皱、飞来峰、逆冲岩席、断夹块等构造样式为特征。前陆逆冲带的形成是特提斯构造域长期演化、沿三条缝合带发生三次碰撞的结果。      

BHA受压失稳的模型及临界钻压公式

在教学及实践中发现,欧拉压杆模型与底部钻具组合(BHA)受压失稳模型之间存在较大差别,使用欧拉模型计算钻具的临界失稳钻压有很大的局限性。为此,推导了钻具在自重作用下失稳的临界钻压及临界失稳长度公式,以便使公式更符合BHA自身的受力特点,提高计算准确性。

基于1998、2006和2013年3期水准复测资料,平差计算得到1998~2006年和2006~2013年的垂直形变速率及其垂直形变速率梯度。根据计算结果研究晋冀蒙地区的地壳垂直形变运动趋势以及主要断裂带的活动性,分析区域垂直形变速率和垂直形变速率梯度的演变。结果揭示出吕梁山地块后一时段上升速率增加、太行山地块由前一时段上升变为后一时段下降、盆地地带变化复杂的垂直形变态势。     

新疆觉罗塔格韧性变形带组构及动力学意义

新疆觉罗塔格韧性变形带,惯称秋格明塔什-黄山韧性剪切带,发育于吐哈地块和中天山地块之间的EW向石炭系火山-沉积建造中,由一组走向EW、产状陡立的透入性片理组成。韧性变形带内韧性构造形迹发育,并可分为4个等级:大型构造、小型构造、微观构造和超微观构造。不同级别构造形迹的组构分析表明,觉罗塔格韧性变形带的内部组构是对称的,这意味着其成因于对称的构造变形。与主界面平行的大量压性构造形迹的产出,说明该对称组构成因于与垂直变形带(面)的共轴挤压作用,即觉罗塔格韧性变形带是一个韧性挤压带。
