喜马拉雅超高压变质作用

喜马拉雅超高压变质带主要由表壳岩石组成,其中的长英质变质岩已经全部退变质,只在基性的榴辉岩中保留有某些超高压变质矿物.这些超高压变质矿物在锆石、石榴石及其他一些化学和机械性质稳定的矿物中以微米级的包裹体形式产出.到目前为止,已经在Tso Morari结晶穹隆和上Kaghan谷高喜马拉雅结晶岩中发现了超高压指示矿物柯石英和多晶石英假像.这2个地区同属一个超高压变质带,具有相似的构造背景、岩石组成及变质年龄.Kaghan谷超高压变质岩形成条件为700～770°C和2.7～3.2 GPa,相当于90～110 km 的上地幔深度,形成年龄为(46.2±0.7) Ma.Tso Morari结晶穹隆中超高压变质岩的形成条件约为750°C和3.9 GPa,形成年龄为(48±1) Ma.上述超高压变质带在其折返过程中普遍经历了强烈的水化和角闪岩相退变质作用.研究表明,印度大陆地壳俯冲的垂向速率为1.1～1.4 cm/a,水平速率为4.5 cm/a,俯冲到约100 km深度时的平均俯冲角度为14～19°.

The Yanshanian Orogeny and Two Kinds of Yanshanides in Eastern-Central China

The Tan-Lu Fault was once a transform fault in the Paleotethys, west of which was the Qinling-Dabie Ocean separating the Yangtze Craton from the North China Craton, and east of which was the Su-Lu Ocean separating the Su-Wan Block from the Jiao-Liao Craton. The Qinling-Dabie Ocean closed in the Indosinian orogeny, which created the China-Southeast Asia Subcontinent, with the Tan-Lu Fault becoming a marginal shear zone along the newly-formed amalgamated subcontinent. The Su-Lu Ocean subducted partly in the Indosinian.orogeny, but not closed. In the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, the Su-Wan Block drifted northwards with subduction of the Su-Lu Ocean and moved westwards to converge the subcontinent by sinistral sheafing of the ENE-striking fractures. The Su-Lu Ocean finally closed and the Su-Wan Block collided with the Jiao-Liao Craton in the Early Cretaceous, which constituted a part of the magnificent interplate Yanshanides. The interplate orogeny rejuvenated the fossil sutures and deep fractures, as well as the Indosinian orogen, and the intraplate （intracontinental） Yanshanian orogeny occurred in the subcontinent. The East Asia Yanshanides, consisting of the interplate orogens in the outer side and the intraplate orogens in the inner side, collapsed quickly in the latest Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous. The eastern China area entered a tensile period from the Eogene, and the tectonic differentiation between the central and eastern China areas since the Jurassic was further strengthened.     

南盘江盆地中三叠统碎屑锆石地质年代学:物源及其地质意义

南盘江盆地的物源及其构造性质至今尚未取得较为一致的认识。目前主要的观点认为其物源主要来自盆地东南面的云开大山地区,盆地的性质为古太平洋板块俯冲所形成的前陆盆地。本文采用碎屑锆石年代学方法,首次报道该盆地中三叠统碎屑锆石年龄组成,分析了该盆地的沉积物源,并基于物源分析探讨了成盆机制和板块间动力学关系。该盆地中三叠统碎屑锆石年龄组成最主要的特征性的年龄分布在320～250Ma之间,此区间内存在280Ma和250Ma两个峰值。通过与相邻各块体锆石年龄谱对比,本研究认为:(1)南盘江盆地的主要物源区应为古特提斯北缘(华南一侧)的石炭-二叠纪岩浆弧,SongMa构造带可能是三叠纪的缝合线,而不是因Sibumasu板块增生到印支板块而导致的板内活化带;(2)该盆地三叠纪时为古特提斯闭合在华南形成的前陆盆地,与古特提斯沿SongMa带向北俯冲闭合有关,前人认为的南盘江盆地形成于古太平洋板块向西北俯冲作用的观点值得商榷。     

北极地区地质构造及主要构造事件

北极地区范围很广,北极圈面积达2 100×10⁴ km²,区域地质复杂。通过对北极地区区域地质编图,笔者认为前寒武纪主要由波罗的、劳伦和西伯利亚三大克拉通,以及其间的微板块或地块组成。主要造山带包括新元古代-早寒武世的贝加尔造山带、晚志留世-早石炭世的加里东造山带、晚古生代-早中生代的海西造山带、晚中生代的上扬斯克造山带、新西伯利亚造山带与楚科奇-布鲁克斯造山带。根据北极地区区域地质构造特征,显生宙以来经历的构造事件大致包括:新元古代-早寒武世的贝加尔运动,致使波罗的古陆与斯瓦尔巴-喀拉地块碰撞造山;晚泥盆世-早石炭世的加里东运动,在劳伦古陆周边形成规模巨大的加里东造山带;晚古生代的海西运动,波罗的古陆与西伯利亚古陆的碰撞造山形成海西造山带;北极阿拉斯加-楚科奇微板块裂离加拿大边缘,侏罗纪加拿大海盆开始张开;早白垩世,阿拉斯加-楚科奇微板块继续与西伯利亚碰撞,阿纽伊洋(Anyui Ocean)消亡,形成上扬斯克-布鲁克斯造山带。受北极调查程度影响,许多问题有待进一步研究。     

The Orogeny in the Altaides

Studies of the deformation styles, formation types and isotopic age data indicate that the Altaides has successively experienced 5 stages of orogeny: (1) the Kanas orogeny forming the angular unconformity between the Baihaba Formation (O_3) and the Habahe Group (Z-O_2); (2) the Daqiao orogeny (S_3-D_(1-2) giving rise to the early Hercynian quasi-aulacogen extensional continental crust of the area; (3) the Altay orogeny (middle-late Hercynian) leading to the oblique intracontinentai collision and the formation of large shear arc-shaped thrust system and representing a strong orogeny stage; (4) the pan-Altay orogeny (latest Hercynian-Indosinian) resulting in the uplifting and erosion of the mountains as a whole; (5) the Himalayan movement causing the rejuvenation of fault systems and block uplift of the Aitaides since the Cenozoic.     

海南岛后地台造山-造盆模型:火成岩地球化学制约

海南岛自海西运动晚幕之后进入后地台活化或地洼阶段，并经历了晚海西-印支期挤压（碰撞）造山、地壳隆起和燕山期以来的块断型造山-造盆作用的过程。火成岩研究资料表明，海南岛地区在晚海西-印支运动期间曾形成一个具有加厚陆壳的后地台造山带；燕山晚期开始出现的裂陷作用是在仍有山根（约60km厚的陆壳）存在的条件下造山带拉伸塌陷阶段的产物；岩石圈底层剥离与地壳山根的去除并最终导致了海南及其邻区从大陆型壳体向陆缘扩张带型壳体的转化。     

新疆博格达山的构造演化及其与油气的关系

博格达山的构造演化及其造山作用的时间是一个长期争议且缺乏系统研究的问题。在野外调查的基础上,充分吸收前人成果,综合运用岩浆岩地球化学特征、不整合-沉积旋回、古流向及沉积物扩散方向等分析手段,对博格达山的构造演化进行了精细的剖析。结果表明:博格达山的构造演化主要经历了3期构造反转,即中-晚石炭世的裂陷海槽与晚石炭世末的弱造山期、早-中二叠世的裂陷盆地与晚二叠世-三叠纪和晚三叠世末的古博格达山隆升-夷平期以及早-中侏罗世的弱伸展盆地与晚侏罗世以来的现今博格达山阶段性隆升期;博格达山南缘柴窝堡凹陷地区印支期形成的NE向构造是油气勘探的有利区带。     

Comparative analysis of contributing parameters for rainfall-triggered landslides in the Lesser Himalaya of Nepal

In the Himalaya, people live in widely spread settlements and suffer more from landslides than from any other type of natural disaster. The intense summer monsoons are the main factor in triggering landslides. However, the relations between landslides and slope hydrology have not been a focal topic in Himalayan landslide research. This paper deals with the contributing parameters for the rainfall-triggered landslides which occurred during an extreme monsoon rainfall event on 23 July 2002, in the south-western hills of Kathmandu valley, in the Lesser Himalaya, Nepal. Parameters such as bedrock geology, geomorphology, geotechnical properties of soil, and clay mineralogy are described in this paper. Landslide modeling was performed in SEEP/W and SLOPE/W to understand the relationship of pore water pressure variations in soil layers and to determine the spatial variation of landslide occurrence. Soil characteristics, low angle of internal friction of fines in soil, medium range of soil permeability, presence of clay minerals in soil, bedrock hydrogeology, and human intervention were found to be the main contributing parameters for slope failures in the region.     

藏南错那洞穹隆早渐新世含绿柱石花岗伟晶岩的成因机制及其地质意义

错那洞穹隆位于特提斯喜马拉雅东段,发育钨锡-铍稀有金属成矿作用。错那洞穹隆由上(边部)、中(幔部)、下(核部)3个构造层组成,分别以上、下拆离断层为分界线,其中在幔部强变形带中发育一套同构造变形的含绿柱石花岗伟晶岩。锆石U-Pb年代学表明,该套伟晶岩形成于33.7±0.4Ma(MSWD=1.12),为早渐新世岩浆活动的产物,明显早于穹隆中目前发现的淡色花岗岩(20～14Ma)。岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素测试结果显示:(1)错那洞早渐新世花岗伟晶岩为过铝质高钾富钠花岗质岩石,具有较高SiO_2(69.74%)、高Al_2O_3(14.58%)及较低的CaO、MgO、MnO、TiO_2的特征;(2)高场强元素及大离子亲石元素均呈现高度变化特征,富集轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素;(3)Sr同位素初始值(0.696308～0.751604)与Nd同位素初始值(-11.48～-12.05)总体在角闪岩与泥质片麻岩之间,ε_(Hf)(t)值介于-5.4～0.1之间(主要集中在-5.4～-1.8)。综合研究表明,错那洞早渐新世含绿柱石伟晶岩是角闪岩与泥质片麻岩混熔的结果,其中泥质片麻岩的部分熔融起主导作用,其形成与藏南拆离系(STDS)的活动密切相关,表明错那洞地区新生代地壳深熔作用主要源岩在早渐新世已完成了从角闪岩向泥质片麻岩的转变。该同构造变形含绿柱石伟晶岩的发现,揭示错那洞穹隆的成穹作用至少在早渐新世便已开始。铍稀有金属可能在早渐新世已有了初始富集,而在中新世大规模岩浆活动中实现了巨量富集。
