A preliminary study on the lithospheric thermal-rheological structure of the East Qinling orogenic belt

This paper considers the lithospheric rheological structure of the East Qinling orogenic belt to explore its geodynamics. The lithospheric rheological structure was calculated by the constraints of the lithospheric temperature structure. The thermal-rheological stratification structures of the lithosphere in the East Qinling orogenic belt present different features from each other within different tectonic units. The hinterland fault-bounded fold zone (HLZ) and the North Qinling thick-skinned imbricated thrust zone (NQL) in the northern half part of the Qinling orogen, with a temperature of 305°C for the Moho boundary, are characterized by “cold” geotherm, thickened lithosphere and the model C for rheological stratification structure. The South Qinling tectonic zone (SQL), with a mean temperature of 642°C and a high temperature of 826°C for the Moho boundary, has obvious features with the model H of “hot” geotherm, thinned lithosphere and intensive rheological behavior within moderate-lower crust and top of the upper mantle. During post-orogenesis, the NQL, being the convergent frontal region of continental subduction beneath the Qinling orogen by both the North China craton (NC) and Yangtze craton (YZ), is in a coexistence period of a dominantly thickened lithosphere and an initial delamination, and the SQL, probably under pluming, has been developing new delamination and underplating and partial melting within the crust in its axel area and recycling for mass and energy (in the forms of heat transfer and convection) between the crust and mantle.

西昆仑岩石圈的拆沉作用及其深部构造含义——地震层析成像及航磁异常证据

西昆仑构造带及其邻区的宽频带地震探测和航磁异常研究结果表明,西昆仑构造带的南部(亦即青藏板块)的岩石圈向塔里木盆地下部俯冲,西昆仑的蛇绿岩带是闭合于加里东造山时期的古特提斯洋的残迹;青藏板块在向塔里木盆地俯冲的过程中,受到来自北部坚硬、古老的塔里木地体的强力阻挡,使得向北俯冲的岩石圈产生裂解,发生拆沉;在青藏板块岩石圈发生拆沉作用的同时,南部青藏板块岩石圈的回弹及软流层的浮力作用导致上部地壳发生引张断陷,深部熔岩上涌造成了碱质型熔岩沿断陷裂隙喷溢,同时也形成了构造带两侧反逆冲构造格局;西昆仑中央断裂是青藏高原的“第四缝合带”,北昆仑构造带仅仅是由于在青藏板块岩石圈发生拆沉作用时,西昆仑构造带中地壳浅部物质逆冲于塔里木前陆之上形成的。     

Sources and Petrogenesis of Late Triassic Dolerite Dikes in the Liaodong Peninsula: Implications for Post-collisional Lithosphere Thinning of the Eastern North China Craton

A combination of major and trace element, whole-rock Sr, Ndand Hf isotope, and zircon U–Pb isotopic data are reportedfor a suite of dolerite dikes from the Liaodong Peninsula inthe northeastern North China Craton. The study aimed to investigatethe source, petrogenesis and tectonic setting of the dikes.Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U–Pb zircon analysesyield a Late Triassic emplacement age of 213 Ma for these dikes,post-dating the collision between the North China and Yangtzecratons and consequent ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism. Threegeochemical groups of dikes have been identified in the LiaodongPeninsula based on their geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hfisotope characteristics. Group 1 dikes are tholeiitic, withhigh TiO₂ and total Fe₂O₃ and low MgO contents, absent to weaknegative Nb and Ta anomalies, variable (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i (0·7060–0·7153),_Nd(t) (– 0·8 to –6·5) and _Hf(t) (–2·7to –7·8) values, and negative _Hf(t) (–1·1to –7·8). They are inferred to be derived frompartial melting of a relatively fertile asthenospheric mantlein the spinel stability field, with some upper crustal assimilationand fractional crystallization. Group 2 dikes have geochemicalfeatures of high-Mg andesites with (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i values of 0·7063–0·7072,and negative _Nd(t) (–3·0 to –9·5)and _Hf(t) (–3·2 to –10·1) values,and may have originated as melts of foundered lower crust, withsubsequent interaction with mantle peridotite. Group 3 dikesare shoshonitic in composition with relatively low (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_ivalues (0·7061–0·7063), and negative _Nd(t)(–13·2 to –13·4) and _Hf(t) (–11·0to –11·5) values, and were derived by partial meltingof an ancient, re-enriched, refractory lithospheric mantle inthe garnet stability field. The geochemical and geochronologicaldata presented here indicate that Late Triassic magmatism occurredin an extensional setting, most probably related to post-orogeniclithospheric delamination.

An Andean tectonic cycle:From crustal thickening to extension in a thin crust(34°-37°SL)

Several orogenic cycles of mountain building and subsequent collapse associated with periods of shallowing and steepening of subduction zones have been recognized in recent years in the Andes.Most of them are characterized by widespread crustal delamination expressed by large calderas and rhyolitic flare-up produced by the injection of hot asthenosphere in the subduction wedge.These processes are related to the increase of the subduction angle during trench roll-back.The Payenia paleoflat-slab,in the southern Central Andes of Argentina and Chile(34°—37°S) recorded a complete cycle from crustal thickening and mountain uplift to extensional collapse and normal faulting,which are related to changes in the subduction geometry.The early stages are associated with magmatic expansion and migration,subsequent deformation and broken foreland.New ages and geochemical data show the middle to late Miocene expansion and migration of arc volcanism towards the foreland region was associated with important deformation in the Andean foothills.However,the main difference of this orogenic cycle with the previously described cycles is that the steepening of the oceanic subducted slab is linked to basaltic flooding of large areas in the retroarc under an extensional setting.Crustal delamination is concentrated only in a narrow central belt along the cordilleran axis.The striking differences between the two types of cycles are interpreted to be related to the crustal thickness when steepening the subducting slab.The crustal thickness of the Altiplano is over 60-80 km,whereas Payenia is less than 42 km in the axial part,and near 30 km in the retroarc foothills.The final extensional regime associated with the slab steepening favors the basaltic flooding of more than 8400 km~3 in an area larger than 40,000 km2,through 800 central vents and large fissures.These characteristics are unique in the entire present-day Andes.     

浙北湖(州)-安(吉)火山岩盆地：锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学与岩浆成因

处于浙-赣火山岩带东北缘的湖(州)-安(吉)盆地内的火山岩/潜火山岩从中性到酸性,中间没有明显的成分间断,以中酸性—酸性组分占绝对优势,中性组分相对较少,缺少基性组分,代表一套连续的中性—酸性岩浆系列。岩石化学总体表现为富碱和高钾的特征,中性岩属橄榄玄粗岩系列,中酸性—酸性岩类属高钾钙碱性系列。盆地内的火山岩在地球化学上均表现为富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,而高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti等则有一定程度的亏损。火山岩中主量和微量元素的变异规律揭示分离结晶作用是盆地内岩浆演化的主要机理,但岩浆演化的不同阶段分离的矿物相有所差异,斜长石自始至终都是分离结晶的重要矿物相,在中性—中酸性岩浆演化阶段,角闪石可能也是重要的分离矿物,而中酸性—酸性岩中钾长石和黑云母的分离结晶也起着重要影响。本文所作的精确定年结果表明,盆地内三期火山活动产物的LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb年龄在误差范围内几乎一致,介于128~130 Ma之间,指示盆地内主要火山活动持续的时间很短。另外测得粗安岩集块的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为136±1 Ma,可能意味着该盆地初期有少量偏基性的火山活动。推测湖安火山岩盆地发育于活动大陆边缘的后造山环境,岩浆的形成可能受控于岩石圈的拆沉或俯冲板片的断落,母岩浆主要是由镁铁质下地壳物质部分熔融形成的,几乎没有地幔物质的参与,所形成的安山质-英安质岩浆在浅部岩浆房中发生过强烈的分异演化。     

Intraplate earthquakes and their link with mantle dynamics: Insights from P-wave teleseismic tomography along the northern part of the North–South Tectonic Zone in China

The North–South Tectonic Zone (NSTZ) running across the Chinese continent is an important earthquake-prone zone. Around one third of the strong earthquakes (> 7.0) of China in the past occurred in this region. Receiver function study has imaged vertical convection in the mantle beneath the northern part of the NSTZ (NNSTZ), which might be related to stress accumulation and release as well as related earthquakes. Here we perform a P-wave teleseismic tomographic analysis of this region. Our results reveal prominent low-velocity and high-velocity perturbations in the upper mantle beneath this region, which we correlate with mantle upwelling, possibly resulting from lower crustal and (or) lithospheric delamination. Our results also reveal significant contrast in the velocity perturbation of the lithosphere along the two sides of this tectonic zone, suggesting possible material exchange between the eastern and western domains and lithosphere-scale control on the generation of earthquakes.     

东昆仑洪水川地区科科鄂阿龙岩体锆石U Pb年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

东昆仑地区出露大量呈带状分布的中生代花岗岩,是我国一条巨型花岗质岩浆岩带,它的发育与该地区岩石圈动力学演化有着密切联系.对东昆仑造山带东段南缘洪水川地区的科科鄂阿龙石英闪长岩体的岩相学、岩石地球化学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究结果显示,岩石具有3组谐和锆石年龄:第一组年龄大于402Ma,为捕获围岩的锆石年龄;第二组年龄为243.9±3.0Ma(MSWD=0.94),代表该区玄武质岩浆底侵事件;第三组年龄为218.3±1.4Ma(MSWD=0.52),代表岩体的结晶年龄.地球化学分析表明该岩体具有高Sr,低Y、Yb,高Sr/Y比值,轻重稀土分异明显,Eu异常不明显,其微量元素显示出埃达克质岩石特征.其较低的Nb、Ta和较高的Mg=、Cr、Ni含量,高Nb/Ta比值,说明了在金红石稳定域内部分熔融形成的熔体交代了岩石圈地幔.岩体的年代学及地球化学特征表明,东昆仑地区在218Ma的晚三叠世时期发生了岩石圈地壳拆沉作用,它是早期俯冲形成的玄武质岩浆底侵而形成的加厚下地壳,在高压缺水的条件下相变为榴辉岩相并拆沉进入软流圈,部分熔融的熔体在上升过程中先与岩石圈地幔反应,然后与地壳围岩发生同化混染作用,最终形成了科科鄂阿龙石英闪长岩.

长江中下游成矿带的幔根构造与深部找矿

长江中下游铁铜金多金属成矿带,正处于华北板块与扬子板块碰撞造山带的断裂构造部位.由于岩石圈大尺度不连续和地壳减薄无山根的成矿背景,促使燕山期热事件成为断裂-盆地-岩浆-成矿带的响应.区内Ⅰ型花岗岩是地幔基性岩浆底侵与壳幔相互作用的结果,包体研究和透明地震反射区资料证明它们具有软流圈上涌与下地壳拆沉作用的印记,也是幔根构造的源地.正因为透岩浆流体作用,形成大量金属矿床,因而这些矿床的成矿时代具有突发性和规律性,同时成矿物质来源具有多源性和不均匀性;成矿流体具有同一性和矿床类型的多样性;成矿期次具有叠加改造性.从S、Pb、Sr、H、O、C、Si、Cu等同位素组成取得的信息,也可作为幔根构造壳幔同熔成矿的佐证.按照幔根构造成矿机理分析,预测本区仍有第二成矿空间(-500～-2 000 m),建议以"类埃达克岩(体)"为中心的地区,可作为新一轮找矿的首选区.运用综合方法(遥感、磁、电、重、地震及深穿透地球化学等),以探明深部与下古生界碳酸盐岩的接触带为主攻目标,建立四维成矿模型,确定找矿靶区,尽快进行钻探验证.
