Petrological constraints on the tectonic setting of the Kathmandu Nappe in the Langtang–Gosainkund–Helambu regions,Central Nepal Himalaya

The Gosainkund–Helambu region in central Nepal occupies a key area for the development of Himalayan kinematic models, connecting the well‐investigated Langtang area to the north with the Kathmandu Nappe (KN), whose interpretation is still debated, to the south. In order to understand the structural and metamorphic architecture of the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) in this region, a detailed petrological study was performed, focusing on selected metapelite samples from both the Gosainkund–Helambu and Langtang transects. The structurally lowest sample investigated belongs to the Lesser Himalayan Sequence; its metamorphic evolution is characterized by a narrow hairpin P–T path with peak P–T conditions of 595 ± 25 °C, 7.5 ± 1 kbar. All of the other samples here investigated belong to the GHS. Along the Langtang section, two tectono‐metamorphic units have been distinguished within the GHS: the Lower Greater Himalayan Sequence (L‐GHS), characterized by peak P–T conditions at 728 ± 11 °C, 10 ± 0.5 kbar (corresponding to a T/depth ratio of 22 ± 1 °C km^?1), and the structurally higher Upper Greater Himalayan Sequence, with peak metamorphic conditions at 780 ± 20 °C, 7.8 ± 0.8 kbar (corresponding to a T/depth ratio of 31 ± 4 °C km^?1). This confirms the existence of a main tectono‐metamorphic discontinuity within the GHS, as previously suggested by other authors. The results of petrological modelling of the metapelites from the Gosainkund–Helambu section show that this region is entirely comprised within a sub‐horizontal and thin L‐GHS unit: the estimated peak metamorphic conditions of 734 ± 19 °C, 10 ± 0.8 kbar correspond to a uniform T/depth ratio of 23 ± 3 °C km^?1. The metamorphic discontinuity identified along the Langtang transect and dividing the GHS in two tectono‐metamorphic units is located at a structural level too high to be intersected along the Gosainkund–Helambu section. Our results have significant implications for the interpretation of the KN and provide a contribution to the more general discussion of the Himalayan kinematic models. We demonstrate that the structurally lower unit of the KN (known as Sheopuri Gneiss) can be correlated with the L‐GHS unit; this result strongly supports those models that correlate the KN to the Tethyan Sedimentary Sequence and that suggest the merging of the South Tibetan Detachment System and the Main Central Thrust on the northern side of the KN. Moreover we speculate that, in this sector of the Himalayan chain, the most appropriate kinematic model able to explain the observed tectono‐metamorphic architecture of the GHS is the duplexing model, or hybrid models which combine the duplexing model with another end‐member model.     

斜向挤压叠加变形的构造解析 ——以四川威远地区为例

威远地区位于四川盆地西南部,其构造主体威远背斜属于大型穹隆状背斜构造,经历了多期构造运动的叠加变形,前人对威远背斜的形成过程与机制认识存在很大争议,无法满足油气精细勘探和高效开发的需要。本文通过地震资料的构造解析,确定威远背斜主体是在基底先存构造(NE向基底古隆起)的条件下,在燕山期近NS向斜向挤压作用过程中形成的,喜山期近EW向斜向挤压作用对其构造变形也有一定的贡献。按此认识设计了砂箱模拟实验,实验结果在平面和剖面上很好地再现了威远背斜的构造特征,表明了上述认识的合理性。这些认识不仅能为威远地区油气的勘探开发提供指导,还可以为相似区域的构造形成演化机制分析提供借鉴。     

喜马拉雅造山带核部的变质作用与部分熔融:亚东地区高压泥质麻粒岩的岩石学与年代学研究

喜马拉雅造山带核部的高喜马拉雅结晶岩系是印度大陆深俯冲到欧亚板块之下经历了高压变质作用的产物,记录了喜马拉雅造山带的形成与演化历史。本文对喜马拉雅造山带中段亚东地区高喜马拉雅结晶岩系中的泥质麻粒岩进行了岩石学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究,结果表明泥质麻粒岩经历了复杂的变质演化和部分熔融,可识别出三期变质矿物组合。早期进变质矿物组合为石榴石+斜长石+钾长石+黑云母+白云母+石英,峰期变质矿物组合为石榴石+斜长石+钾长石+黑云母+蓝晶石+石英,晚期退变质矿物组合为石榴石+斜长石+钾长石+夕线石+黑云母+白云母+石英。相平衡模拟表明,该泥质麻粒岩经历了高温、高压的峰期变质条件为800~835℃和12.8~14kbar,在进变质和峰期变质过程中经历了白云母和黑云母脱水熔融,所形成的熔体量至少为5%~8%。麻粒岩的晚期退变质条件为720~740℃和7.6~8.3kbar。这表明泥质麻粒岩经历了一条以高压麻粒岩相峰期变质和降温、降压退变质为特征的顺时针P-T轨迹。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,麻粒岩相变质和深熔作用发生在28.5~17.0Ma。本研究表明高喜马拉雅结晶岩系的上部构造层位经历了高压麻粒岩相变质作用,而不是以前认为的以高温、低压变质作用为特征,并为喜马拉雅造山带构造演化的研究提供了新的见解。     

喜马拉雅造山带加里东期构造作用:以马拉山-吉隆构造带为例

青藏高原是由复合地体和复合造山拼贴体组成,是新元古代以来长期活动、多期造山及新生代最后隆升的基础上形成的高原。最近在马拉山-吉隆构造带中厘定出形成于445~431Ma的碎屑锆石,包括岩浆成因和变质成因,以及447Ma的变质事件,比已有关于安第斯型造山作用的认识晚30~60Myr。主量、微量和同位素特征显示志留纪片麻岩具有和奥陶纪花岗岩一致的地球化学特征,属于同一套岩石。综合已有现象推断出:喜马拉雅地区古生代构造事件持续时间更长,微陆块与冈瓦纳大陆北缘的碰撞作用可能发生在志留纪,引发奥陶纪的岩浆岩发生变质作用,以及志留纪的岩浆活动,这些热事件属于加里东期构造作用。     

球面圆弧数字地形剖面提取方法研究

带状地形剖面是以高程为纵向参考,以距剖面起始端点的距离为横向参考进行制图表达。由于其可真实地反映地表形态,是新构造和活动构造地貌研究中的基本参考和研究对象。随着数字化基础地理信息成果的普及,很多GIS软件可实现地形剖面的自动化提取。但以往方法的位置信息均是建立在剖面投影平面的基础上,当研究区域范围过大,会引入非构造变形,为消除该影响,提出基于球面坐标系统的带状地形剖面图制作方法。该方法不仅适用于小型地质构造,也适用于喜马拉雅弧形造山带等大型地质构造,可提取出更接近真实地形的地形剖面。     

藏南嘉黎断裂古乡—通麦段多期活动特征及其构造意义

嘉黎断裂是青藏高原南部呈北西西—南东东向喀喇昆仑—嘉黎断裂系的重要组成部分,被认为代表了北拉萨地块和中拉萨地块之间的构造界线。关于嘉黎断裂的构造性质和演化过程等仍存在争议,其不同期次构造过程仍需要进一步研究。在详细的区域地质填图基础上,以嘉黎断裂古乡—通麦段为研究对象,重点调查了该断裂带不同期次变形的几何学与运动学特征,基于新获得的不同方位断层面与擦痕特征等资料,恢复和计算该区的不同期次应力场及方向,并据此解析该区的多期构造叠加关系,探讨嘉黎断裂在不同应力场下的多期活动特征以及相关的区域构造演化过程和大地构造背景,在此基础上讨论了嘉黎断裂对拟建铁路工程的影响。研究结果显示,嘉黎断裂晚新生代以来仍有活动迹象,并具有多期构造叠加特征,从早到晚依次为左旋走滑(D₁)、正倾滑(D₂)和右旋走滑(D₃)。嘉黎断裂作为东喜马拉雅构造结地区重要的变形调节构造,其多期活动性质反映了地块间的相对运动特征及区域应力场的转换过程,这对认识青藏高原南缘的新生代构造演化过程具有重要意义。
