Chemical composition of upper crust in eastern China

In an area of 3.3×10⁶ km² within eastern China, 28 253 rock samples were collected systematically and combined into 2718 composite samples which were analyzed by 15 reliable methods using national preliminary certified reference materials (CRMs) for data quality monitoring. The average chemical compositions of the exposed crust, the sedimentary cover and the exposed basement as well as the upper crust for 76 chemical elements in eastern China are given.

Crustal structure of Dabieshan orogenic belt

The crustal structures ofP velocity and density on the deep seismic sounding profile across the Ilabieshan orogenic belt are presented. There is a 5-km-thick crustal “root” between the Yuexi and Xiaotian where the elevation is highest on the profile. An apparent Moho offset of 4. 5 km beneath the Xiaotian-Mozitan fault marks the paleo-suture of the Triassic collision. A high-velocity anomaly zone at the depth below 3 km beneath the ultra-high pressure (UHP) zone may be correlated to the higher content of UHP metamorphic rocks.

山西铝土矿床成矿物质来源

山西铝土矿矿石中鲕、豆、碎屑等组构均具红土性质，结合化学成分特征、稀土元素特征、氧同住素特征、锆石等副矿物特征及含矿岩系底部岩层与下伏中奥陶纪灰岩关系和矿床分布与古陆、古岛的依赖关系等方面分析，铝土矿的成矿物质多是异源的，多为古陆上的铝硅酸盐岩红土风化产物，经流水以机械碎屑形式被搬运至海盆，沉积成矿     

地倾斜异常图像与地震预测

系统分析了1988～1998年期间新疆4个台站、5套地倾斜仪记录到的异常图像,发现与周围的4级以上及强远震有较好的对应关系.在对图像特征、典型震例研究的基础上,归纳了异常图像的识别标志、与地震关系的定性指标;对异常图像的可能机制作了初步讨论,认为可能是岩石临破裂前的裂隙扩展、断层预滑的直接记录;地倾斜异常图像的研究对地震的短临预报具有参考价值.     

软流层、中地壳与盆-山系

虽然大量的地学断面研究为我们提供了及其丰富的有关中地壳的信息，但极少有人将中地壳的与盆地、断隆山的形成和演化相联系．大陆层控构造理论认为，上地壳正断层上盘在下降过程中，挤压下伏中地壳塑性层，中地壳塑性层物质在该压力作用下从下降幅度最大、垂向压强最大的箕状盆地翘降端压出，主要流向垂向压力较小、紧邻断层面应变空间的下盘，促使该盘向上倾斜，形成断隆山，组成盆—山系．现今中国东部阴山、秦岭、太行山和燕山等断隆山脉，无不与同时代深沉降的断陷盆地毗邻．松辽盆地和西侧大兴安岭以嫩江断裂为界，断陷盆地和断隆山由晚侏罗世到早白垩世同时开始形成到新生代，伴随松辽盆地大幅度沉降，大兴安岭大幅度隆升．在重力均衡作用下，盆—山系形成引起莫霍面隆起和上地幔软流层隆升，在沉积盆地和断隆上形成大量金属、非金属和油气矿产．中生代以后，软流层大规模发育．软流层隆升对大型含油气区形成具有决定性意义。     

断块开合说--中国大地构造研究的新思维

对板块说应持分析态度，既充分肯定它的创见，又要看到其不足。张文佑倡导的断块说强调地质演化中的陆洋地壳转化，即拉张造洋、挤压造陆。近年来提出的开合说，继承了板块说、断块说和新地槽-地台说的合理内核。笔者认为，断块-开合大地构造说是中国大地构造研究中有代表性的思潮。本文概括了其基本观点，强调了开合中的多模式、多旋回和非封闭性、不可逆性。     

Change of crustal gravitational potential energy in the Taiwan orogen by the Chi-Chi earthquake sequence

The active convergence between the northwest corner of the Philippine Sea Plate and the southeast margin of the Eurasian Plate has given rise to the Taiwan mountain-building and produced numerous earthquakes. Among the earthquakes, the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake is the largest one recorded in the century. In this study, we examine the crustal gravitational potential energy (GPE) change in the Taiwan orogen caused by the Chi-Chi earthquake sequence, which was catalogued by the regional broadband seismometer array for a whole year. As a result, we find that the crust was going up and down randomly during the earthquake sequence, but an overall cumulative gain of the crustal GPE, +1.82×10¹⁶ J, was rapidly achieved in 1 month after the main shock. The crustal GPE was nearly still afterwards and reached +1.90×10¹⁶ J in 1 year. Spatially, although the main surface faulting has occurred in western Taiwan, the crustal GPE gain is mainly distributed in central Taiwan at the area where the existing crustal GPE is high and the existing lithospheric GPE is relatively low. The crustal GPE loss by the Chi-Chi earthquake sequence can also be observed and is generally distributed at both sides of the crustal GPE gain area. The crustal GPE gain mainly found in central Taiwan corroborates that the uplift of the Taiwan orogen is principally taking place in central Taiwan, rather than in the more hazardous western Taiwan.
