郯庐断裂系研究的新进展─—兼论东亚北东向走滑断裂系统

对郯庐断裂系研究的最新进展作了介绍。郯庐断裂是多期活动、性质多次转换的巨型断裂。最初的启动时间在晚三叠世末，与南北大陆的碰撞有着直接的关系。早期以走滑（左行）运动为主，伴随挤压和拉伸，范围限于华北地块内部。断裂纵向伸展的高峰期为白垩纪到早始新世，这一时期也是裂陷作用最强的时期。始新世以来以挤压作用为主。东亚走滑断裂系各组成断裂性质复杂，不能以中生代左行平移运动简单概括。走滑断裂系的发展和演化与同时期大陆边缘所处的地球动力学环境，也就是与南北大陆的碰撞和古大洋板块的持续俯冲关系密切。新生代以来的构造事件使中生代的构造发生强烈变形变位改造。     

四川盆地基底及深部地质结构研究的进展

根据对近年来区域地质、多种地球物理资料和深钻井资料的综合研究，认为四川盆地属扬子板块，岩石圈巨厚，最厚可达２００ｋｍ。川西高原属青藏板块的东缘，同时位于中国南北构造带中段，软流圈呈北东向上隆，岩石圈减薄，其最薄处厚度约７０ｋｍ左右。四川盆地的基底由结晶基底与沉积岩变质基底组成，上震旦统为该地区在扬子古板块形成后的第一套沉积盖层。基底的性质、厚度、埋深在不同地区各不相同，从而决定了盆地内部构造区的划分。基底深断裂对盆地的形成与盖层构造的发展也有重要的控制作用。     

Field survey of the 1994 Mindoro Island,Philippines tsunami

This is a report of the field survey of the November 15, 1994 Mindoro Island, Philippines, tsunami generated by an earthquake (M=7.0) with a strike-slip motion. We will report runup heights from 54 locations on Luzon, Mindoro and other smaller islands in the Cape Verde passage between Mindoro and Luzon. Most of the damage was concentrated along the northern coast of Mindoro. Runup height distribution ranged 3–4 m at the most severely damaged areas and 2–4 in neighboring areas. The tsunami-affected area was limited to within 10 km of the epicenter. The largest recorded runup value of 7.3 m was measured on the southwestern coast of Baco Island while a runup of 6.1 m was detected on its northern coastline. The earthquake and tsunami killed 62 people, injured 248 and destroyed 800 houses. As observed in other recent tsunami disasters, most of the casualties were children. Nearly all eyewitnesses interviewed described the first wave as a leading-depression wave. Eyewitnesses reported that the main direction of tsunami propagation was SW in Subaang Bay, SE in Wawa and Calapan, NE on Baco Island and N on Verde Island, suggesting that the tsunami source area was in the southern Pass of Verde Island and that the wave propagated rapidly in all directions. The fault plane extended offshore to the N of Mindoro Island, with its rupture originating S of Verde Island and propagating almost directly south to the inland of Mindoro, thereby accounting for the relatively limited damage area observed on the N of Mindoro.     

粘滑失稳及其物理场时空分布的实验研究

摩擦滑动的物理场实验研究表明：（１）能量空间分布的差异是失稳的重要条件，单发型大事件常发生于高能量向低能量的突变带或高能量背景区内的相对低能量区；（２）单发型大事件的孕育过程常常经历若干个能量输入输出循环，产生多个前兆阶段，并在失稳前源区常有一个弱化过程。小震或群发型事件失稳前常常只有一个能量积累与强化的过程，失稳前兆阶段性反映较差；（３）粘滑失稳时断层的位错与声发射的大小未见明显关系     

闽东南大陆边缘构造特征及泉州海外大震构造环境分析

闽东南大陆边缘构造活动，自晚更新世以来，断裂活动以继承性差异升降作为主要特点，本文分析了１６０４年１２月２９日泉州海外８级大震与该区断裂活动的关系，并对该次大震震源断层面错动方式进行了讨论。     

北祁连早古生代大地构造演化

早古生代北祁连是一个陆间微洋盆。震旦纪时,北祁连开始从华北板块中解体出来。主要裂谷作用发生于寒武世。北祁连地槽主要闭合期为晚奥陶世和早、中志留世。晚志留世和早泥盆世经历了复杂的消减作用。

Organic geochemical characteristics of sediments from the anoxic brine-filled Tyro basin (eastern Mediterranean)

Soxhlet-extractable organic compounds of sediments from the anoxic brine-filled Tyro basin (eastern Mediterranean) were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cholesterol and 22,29,30-trisnorhopan-21-one are the major compounds identified. The occurrence of this triterpenoid ketone, as well as 22,29,30-trisnorhop-6-en-21-one and diplopterol (both tentatively identified), is ascribed to an input of microbiota living at the brine-seawater interface.     

The temporal and spatial development of landslides in the axmouth-lyme regis undercliffs national nature reserve,Devon

A chronology of landsliding is presented, including suggestions as to a date for initiation. Periods of activity known from historical sources are correlated with known periods of climatic deterioration. The current morphology of the landslide slopes is closely related to the geological succession and structure. These permit the landslides and their development to be differentiated on the basis of whole slope and toe morphology, and much of the whole-slope activity can be related to conditions at the toe. Examples of geomorphological maps, slope categories maps, and cross sections are presented along with an example of the ‘evolutionary’ maps which may be derived from Ordnance Survey plans and aerial photographs. These generally indicate that weakening of materials by weathering, seepage erosion at the toe, and marine erosion result in frequent mass movement events of a low magnitude. These events ultimately influence the stability of larger slipped blocks behind, which fail less frequently. It is suggested that whole-slope failures in this region have a maximum frequency of once in 120 to 150 years, and that problems of interpretation of historical accounts may mean that it is very much less frequent than this.     

内蒙古中西部多岛海构造演化

内蒙古中西部大陆由一个微大陆、三条弧后盆地和三条火山岛弧,即华北微大陆、白云鄂 傅弧后盆地、白乃庙火山岛弧、温都尔庙弧后盆地、苏尼特左－锡林浩特火山岛弧、贺根山弧后盆 地和二连浩特－锡林郭勒火山岛弧组成。经过了长期而复杂的微大陆和火山弧的裂解、弧后盆地 的消减衰亡及弧－陆和弧－弧碰拉等构造演化,才最终形成今天所见到的这种构造样式。
