固体围压下完整花岗岩粘滑现象的实验研究

本文用完整的花岗岩样品在固体围压三轴实验装置上压缩,研究围压和应变速率对岩样变形破裂过程、粘滑应力降、粘滑复发间隔及样品主破裂几何分布的影响。结果表明,加载速率较低时,粘滑应力降较大,复发间隔较长且分布无规律。加载速率越大,粘滑应力降越小,复发间隔也近似相等,粘滑事件表现出准周期性。围压和应变率较低时,岩石的主破裂会演变成两个交叉的共轭断裂面;而围压和应变率较高时,岩石的主破裂则演变成单一断裂面或入字形断裂面。本文结果对认识中国大陆板内地震孕育、发生及重复过程;研究地震重复发生的机制及影响地震复发间隔的主要因素都有重要意义。     

大同－阳高两次地震的对比分析

１９８９年１０月，１９９１年３月，在山西北部大同盆地先后发生Ｍｓ６．１、Ｍｓ５．８两次中强地震。对比这两次地震的序列、空间分布及能量释放等存在很大差异。两次地震属同一地震序列，５．８级地震的活动规律具有晚期强余震的特点，是６．１级地震活动的一次大的起伏。进一步分析表明，大同—阳高的两次地震活动，以及在此期间山西地区发生的一系列５级左右地震活动，是华北地区区域应力场增强，较大范围内应力增加和传递的结果。

灾害学是一门边缘学科,具有年轻性、交错性和综合性特点,且随着社会、经济和科学的发展及灾害的频繁发生日益受到各国重视与关注。当前应重点发展灾害分类、灾害统计、灾害地理、灾害经济、灾害预报、灾害防治及灾害工程等学科分支。中国应采取四方面途径和措施促进灾害学发展。     

Himalayan structure and metamorphism south of the Main Mantle Thrust, Lower Swat, Pakistan

Abstract During the Eocene-Oligocene, the Indian plate collided with the Kohistan arc along the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT) zone. The structure of the Lower Swat rock sequence, on the Indian plate directly south of the MMT, is a dome with a basement of granitic gneiss and quartz-rich schist unconformably overlain by amphibolitic and calcareous schist. The earliest superposed small-scale folds (F1 & F2) represent a progressive F1/F2 deformation that is associated with a single set of WSW-vergent large-scale folds (termed F2). These folds are inferred to have developed during oblique, WSW-directed overthrusting of the MMT suture complex onto the Lower Swat rock sequence. Metamorphism began during F1/F2 as indicated by an S1 foliation that developed during biotite-grade metamorphism. S1 is preserved as a relict texture in porphyroblasts that grew during a subsequent interkinematic phase during garnet- and higher grade metamorphism. The dominant, regional foliation (S2) developed following the interkinematic phase. S2 is associated with transposition of S1 and rotation or dismemberment of porphyroblasts. Annealing recrystallization followed S2 and continued during F3 thereby destroying or masking possible pre-existing stretching fabrics. Superposed F3 folds are upright and open with N-S axial trends. They may correlate with early doming of the Lower Swat rock sequence and with strike-slip displacement in the northern part of the MMT zone, north of the Lower Swat area. F3 was followed by retrograde metamorphism and development of E-W-trending, S-vergent F4 folds. F4 may be associated with a final phase of southward directed thrusting and inactivity in the MMT zone. Correlation of published ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages with the metamorphic fabrics suggests that F1/F2 and F3 occurred in the Eocene, and that F4 developed in the Oligocene. F4 is the earliest indication of southward verging structures on this part of the Indian plate.     

The relationship betweenin situ strain relaxation and outcrop fractures in the Potsdam Sandstone,Alexandria Bay,New York

Summary In situ strain was measured by overcoring foil-resistance strain gauge rosettes bonded to five outcrops of Potsdam Sandstone near Alexandria Bay, New York. Strain relaxation magnitude and orientation correlated with the area of the intact outcrop outlined by intersecting vertical fractures. The maximum expansion occurred at the outcrop with the largest area between intersecting fractures. Outcrops with more than one set of longer, open fractures or more complicated fracture patterns have lower recoverable strains. Strain relaxation was lowest next to a postglacial pop-up. The orientation of the pop-up indicated relief of an ENE directed compression, the direction also observed as the maximum expansion at the outcrop yielding the largest strain relaxation.Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory Contribution No. 2456.     

A mechanism for strain relaxation of barre granite: Opening of microfractures

Summary Strain relaxation in the Barre Granite and surrounding metasediments in Vermont, was measured by overcoring strain gauge rosettes bonded to outcrop surfaces. The average maximum expansion upon relieving 15.2 cm diameter cores trends N55°W, while the average maximum expansion of 7.6 cm diameter cores coaxial with 15.2 cm cores trends N70°W. The maximum strain relief of the internal overcores is normal to the microfracture fabric. Therefore, the mechanism of strain relaxation is attributed to the opening of microfractures either parallel to the rift direction of the Barre Granite or parallel to the foliation of the metasediment. The lack of parallelism between the normal to the rift plane and the maximum expansion of the initial overcore suggests an extenrally applied strain superimeposed on the strain caused by opening of microfractures.Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory Contribution No. 2455.

Spatial and temporal variations in the compositions of Upper Miocene to Recent basic lavas in the northern main Ethiopian rift: Implications for the causes of Cenozoic magmatism in Ethiopia

The rate of lithospheric extension has previously been suggested as the most important factor governing the compositions of magmas generated in the Cenozoic Ethiopian volcanic province (CEVP). However, the distribution and chemistry of volcanic rocks extending from the western plateau margin at Addis Ababa to the rift floor in Nazret, northern sector of the main Ethiopian rift (MER), suggest that transitional magmatism in the region may have been triggered by an increase in the amount of lithospheric extension in the Early Pliocene. The rocks occur across an area of variable crustal thickness and show a general age progression from Upper Miocene (≤9 Ma) to Recent toward the rift. Alkalic basalts are extensive in the western part of the rift and along its margin but are found only locally within the rift, whereas transitional basalts are found within the rift only. Both types of basalts appear to have been derived from a common mantle source. In contrast, alkalic and transitional basalts on the Ethiopian plateau are mutually exclusive in terms of their spatial distribution, but exhibit a compositional contiguity which suggests that transitional magmas on the plateau formed at the expense of alkalic magmas, i.e. by equilibration of alkalic magmas at relatively shallow depth. The alkalic basalts bear clear record of a decrease in the degree of partial melting with time, suggesting that magmatism on the plateau was possibly triggered by a transient thermal anomaly.     

岩石变形实验中的微破裂与地震的联想

根据室内岩石变形实验中岩石的微破裂和应变能释放等情况，联想到地震发生的几种相似现象：（１）岩体在较低的状态下亦有可能发生地震；（２）小震的发生预示岩体内应变和应变能的释放，但应力却未必释放；（３）主震时就变能大量释放，但仍有相当多的应变能残留在岩体中，这应是老震区发生地震的原因之一。
