重力与地形数据揭示的巴颜喀拉块体东缘垂向构造应力场

利用基于消去-恢复原理的最小二乘配置方法,对2009-2013年相对重力/GPS联合观测数据与EGM2008模型数据进行融合,更新了巴颜喀拉块体东缘地区的自由空气与布格重力异常场.基于该布格重力异常数据,以CRUST1.0地壳密度模型为初始条件,使用二维多边形棱柱体正演与非线性最小二乘反演方法,获取了巴颜喀拉块体东缘地壳分层密度结构.基于地壳不可压缩和均衡调整原理提出了计算垂向构造应力新方法,并结合上述地壳分层密度结构和地形数据计算了巴颜喀拉块体东缘垂向构造应力分布.结果表明,龙门山断裂带中南段蓄积了较高的正向构造应力(约40 MPa),马尔康周边地区蓄积了较高的负向构造应力(约—30 MPa).对研究区域1970年以来5级(Ms)以上地震进行统计发现,地震多发生在垂向构造应力梯度带上,垂向构造应力为正的地区易触发浅源地震,为负的地区易触发深源地震.在地壳横向变形强烈的区域,垂向构造应力与地震深度的对应关系减弱.     

羌塘地块中部南北向断裂的构造特征及其动力学意义

青藏高原内部除大规模的东西向走滑断裂以外,另一个显著的地质特征就是在藏南及高原腹地广泛发育东西向的伸展构造,形成走向近南北的断裂构造,如亚东一谷露裂谷带及双湖断裂.伸展构造已经成为青藏高原地质研究的一个焦点问题.在羌塘地块89°E附近存在明显的低重力、负磁、深度达300 km的低速异常及连通壳幔的高导异常,且地表伴生大规模的新生代火山岩,这些特殊的地质及地球物理场特征的发生位置与地表双湖断裂的位置基本对应.本文通过卫星重力数据的多尺度小波分析结果发现,双湖断裂之下,存在一明显由上地壳一直向下延伸至地幔深部的低重力异常,说明双湖断裂向下延伸深度大,且上下连通性好.结合已有的地质和地球物理资料,认为由于双湖断裂的存在,使得深部幔源岩浆沿断裂构造薄弱带上涌,从而导致羌塘地块之下壳幔温度的升高及大规模部分熔融的发生.

Integrated 3D density modelling and segmentation of the Dead Sea Transform

A 3D interpretation of the newly compiled Bouguer anomaly in the area of the “Dead Sea Rift” is presented. A high-resolution 3D model constrained with the seismic results reveals the crustal thickness and density distribution beneath the Arava/Araba Valley (AV), the region between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba/Elat. The Bouguer anomalies along the axial portion of the AV, as deduced from the modelling results, are mainly caused by deep-seated sedimentary basins (D > 10 km). An inferred zone of intrusion coincides with the maximum gravity anomaly on the eastern flank of the AV. The intrusion is displaced at different sectors along the NNW–SSE direction. The zone of maximum crustal thinning (depth 30 km) is attained in the western sector at the Mediterranean. The southeastern plateau, on the other hand, shows by far the largest crustal thickness of the region (38–42 km). Linked to the left lateral movement of approx. 105 km at the boundary between the African and Arabian plate, and constrained with recent seismic data, a small asymmetric topography of the Moho beneath the Dead Sea Transform (DST) was modelled. The thickness and density of the crust suggest that the AV is underlain by continental crust. The deep basins, the relatively large intrusion and the asymmetric topography of the Moho lead to the conclusion that a small-scale asthenospheric upwelling could be responsible for the thinning of the crust and subsequent creation of the Dead Sea basin during the left lateral movement. A clear segmentation along the strike of the DST was obtained by curvature analysis: the northern part in the neighbourhood of the Dead Sea is characterised by high curvature of the residual gravity field. Flexural rigidity calculations result in very low values of effective elastic lithospheric thickness (t _e < 5 km). This points to decoupling of crust in the Dead Sea area. In the central, AV the curvature is less pronounced and t _e increases to approximately 10 km. Curvature is high again in the southernmost part near the Aqaba region. Solutions of Euler deconvolution were visualised together with modelled density bodies and fit very well into the density model structures. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Variation of crustal thickness in the Philippine Sea deduced from three-dimensional gravity modeling

Abstract   Crustal thickness of the northern to central Philippine Sea was gravimetrically determined on the simple assumption of four layers: seawater, sediments, crust and lithospheric mantle, with densities of 1030, 2300, 2800 and 3300 kg/m³, respectively. As for the correction of the regional gravity variation, a 15 km difference of the lithospheric thickness with a density difference of 50 kg/m³ against the asthenosphere below between both sides of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge was taken into consideration. Mantle Bouguer anomalies were calculated on the assumption of constant crustal thickness of 6 km, and then the crustal thickness was obtained by three-dimensional gravity inversion method. The results show occurrence of thin crust areas with a thickness of approximately 5 km in the southern part and at the western margin of the Shikoku Basin and also of thick crust areas in the northwestern and northeastern parts of the Parece Vela Basin. We suggest that these are because of the variation of magma supply at the time of sea floor spreading in the Shikoku and Parece Vela Basins, which is possibly related to the variation of spreading rate and enhanced magmatism near the past arc volcanic fronts. The results further show the occurrence of crust thinner than 5 km in the northeastern part of the West Philippine Basin, of crust thicker than 15 km in the Amami Plateau, the Daito and Oki-Daito Ridges, and also in the northern part of Kyushu-Palau Ridge, whereas the southern part of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge the crust is thicker than 10 km. It was also inferred that small basins in the Daito Ridge province have the thinnest oceanic crust of less than 5 km in the Kita-Daito Basin.     

区域重力调查成果在江苏地区高精度水准测量改正中的适用性分析

本文分析了空间重力异常精度对水准测量高差重力异常改正的影响。在江苏两处试验区分别采用实测重力和布格异常数据库两种改正方法,计算测段重力异常改正值,对比两者间的差异。结果表明：未顾及地形起伏的实测重力点分布是导致两种改正方法改正值差异大的主要因素;地形起伏较大区域,水准线路出现转折或倾斜过大时,需加测重力,采用实测重力进行水准测量高差重力异常改正;平坦小区域内,利用布格异常数据库与实测重力进行水准测量高差重力异常改正的精度相当。

Gravity analysis of salt structures. An example from the El Kef‐Ouargha region (northern Tunisia)

Triassic outcrops in the Atlassic zone of northern Tunisia may be modelled in two ways: salt bodies piercing through Cretaceous terrains or Triassic salt flows stratified within an Albian series. Both models find support from gravity data and are debatable. To evaluate the mass distribution changes with depth, the Bouguer anomaly of the El Kef‐Ouargha region was successively decomposed into regional and residual components to construct multiple pseudo‐depth slices and apparent density maps. Analyses of gravity lows clearly show a vertical continuity of less dense materials below the Triassic salt outcrops. These features can be explained by salt diapirism during Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Further, gravity data tend to indicate less dense materials below Aptian outcropping in Jebel Aite (Oued Bou Adila); thus suggesting Triassic materials occurring at depth. In addition, dense entities were recognized under Mio‐Pliocene and Quaternary deposits, which are thought to correspond to Cretaceous paleoshoals currently collapsed by non‐outcropping faults. Our findings lend support to a diapir model intruding overburden rather than the salt glacier model stratified in the Albian series proposed by some authors as the genetic structural model for Triassic material‐bearing series in the north of Tunisia.     

Lithospheric Structure in the North China Craton Constrained from Gravity Field Model(EGM 2008)

A detailed knowledge of the thickness of the lithosphere in the North China craton(NCC) is important for understanding the significant tectonic reactivation of the craton in Mesozoic and Ce-nozoic.We achieve this goal by applying the newly proposed continuous wavelet transform theory to the Gravity Field Model(EGM 2008) data in the region.Distinct structural variations are identified in the scalogram image of profile Alxa-Datong(大同)-Qingdao(青岛)-Yellow Sea(profile ABC),trans-versing the main units of NCC,whi...     

岩浆与构造作用对洋壳厚度的影响——以西北印度洋为例

洋中脊及邻区洋盆的洋壳厚度能很好地反映区域岩浆补给特征,对于研究洋中脊内部及周缘岩浆活动和构造演化过程具有很好的指示意义.西北印度洋中脊作为典型的慢速扩张洋中脊,其扩张过程与周缘构造活动具有很强的时空关系.本文利用剩余地幔布格重力异常反演了西北印度洋洋壳厚度,由此分析区域内洋壳厚度分布和岩浆补给特征.研究发现,西北印度洋洋壳平均厚度为7.8 km,受区域构造背景影响厚度变化较大.根据洋壳厚度的统计学分布特征,将区域内洋壳分为三种类型:薄洋壳(小于4.5 km)、正常洋壳(4.5~6.5 km)和厚洋壳(大于6.5 km),根据西北印度洋中脊周缘(~40 Ma内)洋壳厚度变化特征可将洋中脊划分为5段,发现洋中脊洋壳厚度受区域构造活动和地幔温度所控制,其中薄洋壳主要受转换断层影响造成区域洋壳厚度减薄,而厚洋壳主要受地幔温度和地幔柱作用影响,并在S4洋中脊段显示出较强的热点与洋中脊相互作用,同时微陆块的裂解和漂移也可能是导致洋壳厚度差异的原因之一.
