Origin of a magnetic lineation on Kyushu Island, Japan

Abstract Several linear magnetic anomalies over continental crust have been identified in and around the Japanese Islands. The anomalies are probably related to island arc tectonic structures, but identifying specific sources has been difficult. Several deep holes were drilled in and around Aso caldera, where a linear anomaly occurs along an active fault. One drillhole located on the linear anomaly encountered a zone of highly magnetized and altered basement rocks at least 100 m thick at a depth of ∼1000 m. The other hole was located away from the anomaly and did not encounter any high-magnetic zones. Rocks from the zone have exceptionally strong remanent magnetization (several tens of A/m) sub-parallel to the present field. AF demagnetization experiments indicated that the magnetization is hard and stable. Magnetic modeling indicates that the linear anomaly is caused mainly by this layer. Microscopic examination of core samples shows that the highly magnetized zone includes secondary magnetic minerals and abundant hydrothermal alterations. Temperatures determined by fluid inclusions and down-hole temperatures show that the temperature of the highly magnetized zone was elevated in the past relative to surrounding rocks. The high temperature could destroy primary magnetic minerals and replace them with secondary magnetic minerals. Thus, the past hydrothermal system may have enhanced thermo-chemical remanent magnetization. The results can produce a model indicating that there was a past hydrothermal system related to the tectonic structure.     

剩磁条件下磁性体磁化方向相关估计方法

针对强剩磁条件下磁化方向估计中存在的问题,提出在剩磁影响下磁性体磁化方向相关估计方法。首先,对磁倾角和磁偏角选取确定的参数范围,并以等间隔的步长进行递变,获得一系列的磁化方向数值;然后,根据不同的磁化方向对铁磁物质的实测磁总场异常数值进行化极处理;最后,求解磁总场化极数据与实测归一化磁源强度数据的互相关系数,取互相关最大值对应的磁化方向作为最终结果。仿真和实验结果表明,本方法能有效估计出近等轴状磁性体的总磁化方向。
