地球核幔相互作用的W同位素研究进展

地球核幔相互作用的研究难点在于无法获得实际样品。洋岛玄武岩和溢流玄武岩被认为是地幔柱减压熔融的产物,携带了核幔边界的物质信息,可作为研究地球核幔相互作用的样品。¹⁸²Hf-¹⁸²W同位素体系的特殊化学性质,使W同位素成为研究核幔相互作用的重要工具。本文介绍了W同位素示踪的基本原理,并回顾了核幔相互作用的W同位素研究进展。目前已发表的数据表明,全球洋岛玄武岩具有W元素丰度富集(67×10^-9~855×10^-9)、¹⁸²W同位素亏损(μ¹⁸²W=-0.1~-16.1)的特征,由此推断洋岛玄武岩可能来源于核幔平衡源区。Baffin Bay和Ontong Java Plateau溢流玄武岩则具有¹⁸²W富集(μ¹⁸²W=23.4)的特征,可能来源于早期地幔源区。洋岛玄武岩和溢流玄武岩的μ¹⁸²W差异可能是由地幔柱头尾异质性引起。此外,引起μ¹⁸²W异常的其他原因可能有：原始地幔源区的隔离保存、后增生薄层物质的部分混入和低效的核幔分异作用等。目前,W同位素的核幔交换机制仍不清楚。

     

干湿循环效应下玄武岩纤维加筋黄土三轴剪切力学行为研究

通过干湿循环效应下的数字图像三轴剪切试验、CT扫描试验及扫描电镜SEM(scanning electron microscopy)试验,研究了玄武岩纤维加筋黄土干湿循环过程的三轴剪切力学行为及微细观结构演化机制。结果表明:随干湿循环次数增加,纤维含量较高试样的三轴剪切鼓胀破坏形态转变为剪切带破坏;干湿循环早期阶段,剪切破坏形态随纤维含量增加,由剪切带破坏转变为鼓胀破坏。干湿循环作用和纤维含量对应力-应变曲线的类型及特征无明显影响,均表现为应变硬化型。破坏偏应力随干湿循环次数增加而逐渐减小,但衰减速率逐渐减小;破坏偏应力随纤维含量增大先增加而后减小,呈抛物线变化特征,存在一个最佳纤维含量为0.6%。CT数均值ME值呈现与破坏偏应力相似的变化规律。干湿循环作用下筋-土界面产生一定的开裂和松弛现象,弱化了纤维的加筋效应,但与素黄土相比,纤维加筋黄土的微观结构表现出显著的整体稳定性。构建了干湿循环效应下玄武岩纤维加筋黄土的宏细观损伤变量,其表现出一致的变化规律。     

西准噶尔玛依拉山组志留纪玄武岩的地球化学特征及构造意义

西准噶尔地区中-上志留统玛依拉山组主要分布于玛依拉山一带,以玛依勒蛇绿岩的围岩产出,两者为断层接触,主要组成为灰绿-暗灰绿色凝灰质粉-细砂岩,砂岩和砂砾岩组合,夹硅质岩和玄武岩。对玄武岩进行详细的岩石地球化学研究表明,SiO2含量中等(47.1%～53.92%),高Fe2O3T(12.54%～17.82%)、Al2O3(13.3%～15.7%)、Na2O(3.84%～8.02%),低TiO2(0.45%～1.48%)、MgO(3.28%～5.77%,Mg#=27.01～41.96)、K2O(0.36%～0.7%),全碱K2O+Na2O含量为4.4%～8.39%,属于亚碱性拉斑玄武岩系列。稀土元素总量较低(∑REE=27.16×10-6～54.41×10-6),轻、重稀土分馏较为明显((La/Yb)N=1.53～2.74),无明显Eu异常(Eu/Eu*=0.96～1.16),稀土配分模式类似于E-MORB。相对富集LILE(如Rb、Ba、Th和K),亏损HFSE(如Zr、Ti),明显的Nb和Ta负异常,具有岛弧玄武岩的地球化学特征。综合研究认为玛依拉山组玄武岩形成于俯冲带上的弧后盆地环境,与玛依拉山蛇绿岩的形成环境不同,其岩浆来源于尖晶石二辉橄榄岩2%～10%的部分熔融,并有少量俯冲流体的参与。结合前人研究资料,认为西准噶尔在志留纪-石炭纪处在洋内弧演化阶段。     

评花岗岩的哈克图解

哈克图解是研究岩浆岩地球化学必用的图件,许多结论就是根据哈克图解做出的。哈克图解只是一个逻辑推理的工具,它所推出的结论是否正确,不是由图解本身决定的,而是由实践决定的。岩浆演化的理论是对的,岩浆演化的理论是从研究层状侵入体得来的,它仅适用于玄武质岩浆,而不适用于花岗质岩浆。实践是检验真理的唯一标准,由哈克图解得出的结论没有经过实践的检验是不能成为真理的,这是最基本、最简单的道理。     

峨眉山玄武岩的岩相与岩体结构

峨眉山玄武岩是西南地区水电工程的主要建基岩体，其岩体结构明显受其建造的控制，不同地区，不同岩相的玄武岩，由于岩石组合及原生结构特征等的差异，而具有不同的岩体结构特征。本文结合拟建金沙江溪洛渡水电工程，雅砻江官地水电工程等实例，从岩相角度分析了玄武岩岩相及原生结构及原生结构对其岩体结构的控制作用。     

Soft rock pillars

Summary Soft rock pillars can be designed by several methods available in the mining literature. All of these methods include the effect of shape, or geometry, on the average strength of specimens and pillars. All of the pillar design methods include some measurement of the strength of specimens of the pillar rock. The most common rock specimen strength property measured is the unconfined compressive strength. However, the average strength of triaxially confined rock specimens is much greater than the unconfined specimen strength, which can be more important to pillar strength. The estimation of the strength of a pillar is complicated by the decrease in rock specimen strength with increase in specimen size.Editor's note: In common with North American engineering practise, the paper uses English units throughout, where feasible conversions are included in the text. Where not, the following factors may be used: 1 inch=25.4 mm; 1 ft=0.3048 m; 1 lbf/in.^–2=6.895 kn/m^–2; 1Tonf.=8.896 kN.     

玄武岩盖层下石林的岩溶动力学特征

受玄武岩盖层的影响，石林地区的地下水在雨季和旱季对碳酸盐岩都具有侵蚀性，玄武岩盖层空气CO2呈现出低—高—低的双向变化梯度。溶蚀试验表明．地下0～0．6m，水平方向的溶蚀量大于垂直方向的溶蚀量，而随着深度的增加，垂直方向的溶蚀量大于水平方向。富含CO2的水通过具有最大渗透张量和较小主轴倾角的玄武岩裂隙下渗，对碳酸盐岩的溶蚀作用表现为一个脱钙、富铝铁、硅迁移的复杂过程，并在地下0～0．6m形成许多水平凹槽、穿洞等岩溶形态，而地表0．6m以下以垂向溶蚀为主，有利于石柱的形成与发育。     

西准噶尔玛依勒地区枕状玄武岩年代学、地球化学及岩石成因

通过对造山带内洋岛玄武岩的时代及地球化学性质研究,不仅可以进行古海山/大洋高原的识别,而且还可以进行古洋盆演化及古构造格局恢复。笔者等最新在西准噶尔玛依勒山北侧识别出一套枕状玄武岩,其与火山碎屑岩、硅质岩共生。枕状玄武岩斜长石微晶普遍发育中空骸晶结构,是在水下熔岩急剧萃冷条件下迅速结晶的产物。通过LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,获得枕状玄武岩206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为437.2±2.2Ma,该年龄的获得填补了志留纪碱性玄武岩的空白。岩石地球化学分析结果显示,玛依勒枕状玄武岩为碱性玄武岩系列,岩石具有中等Si O2(44.89%~47.81%),高Ti O2(3.28%~4.12%)及P2O5(0.50%~0.70%),低Mg O(3.49%~6.79%),轻、重稀土元素分异较为明显((La/Yb)N=5.5~7.3),无明显Eu异常(Eu/Eu*=0.96~1.06),相对富集Rb、Th、U,亏损Ba、K、Sr,没有明显Nb、Ta负异常,这些地球化学特征与洋岛玄武岩(OIB)极其相似。微量元素含量及反映源区性质的比值表明,枕状玄武岩来源于富集地幔源区,主要组成为尖晶石和石榴石二辉橄榄岩,并发生了5%±的部分熔融,其形成于大洋板内与地幔柱有关的海山/大洋岛屿环境。结合前人研究,认为西准噶尔乃至古亚洲洋在中古生代洋内俯冲的同时,大洋板内可能存在地幔柱活动。     

关于峨眉山大火成岩省一些问题的研究现状

峨眉山大火成岩省(ELIP)位于扬子板块西缘,是我国唯一被国际学术界认可的大火成岩省,受到国内外学者的广泛关注。主要围绕峨眉山玄武岩喷发前的隆升剥蚀情况、喷发时限、地幔柱的轴部位置等争议性问题进行探讨,总结了前人的研究成果。由于地幔柱和岩石圈之间相互作用的复杂性,加之地幔柱模型的不完善,峨眉山地幔柱活动在地表的真实响应也许更复杂。在今后的研究中,应该加强不同学科间的相互合作,着重研究地球深部动力学过程以及地球系统各圈层的相互作用。     

Rate of strike-slip motion on the Amanos Fault (Karasu Valley, southern Turkey) constrained by K–Ar dating and geochemical analysis of Quaternary basalts

The left-lateral Amanos Fault follows a 200-km-long and up to 2-km-high escarpment that bounds the eastern margin of the Amanos mountain range and the western margin of the Karasu Valley in southern Turkey, just east of the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea. Regional kinematic models have reached diverse conclusions as to the role of this fault in accommodating relative motion between either the African and Arabian, Turkish and African, or Turkish and Arabian plates. Local studies have tried to estimate its slip rate by K–Ar dating Quaternary basalts that erupted within the Amanos Mountains, flowed across it into the Karasu Valley, and have since become offset. However, these studies have yielded a wide range of results, ranging from 0.3 to 15 mm a⁻¹, which do not allow the overall role and significance of this fault in accommodating crustal deformation to be determined. We have used the Cassignol K–Ar method to date nine Quaternary basalt samples from the vicinity of the southern part of the Amanos Fault. These basalts exhibit a diverse chemistry, which we interpret as a consequence varying degrees of partial melting of their source combined with variable crustal contamination. This dating allows us to constrain the Quaternary slip rate on the Amanos fault to 1.0 to 1.6 mm a⁻¹. The dramatic discrepancies between past estimates of this slip rate are partly due to technical difficulties in K–Ar dating of young basalts by isotope dilution. In addition, previous studies at the key locality of Hacılar have unwittingly dated different, chemically distinct, flow units of different ages that are juxtaposed. This low slip rate indicates that, at present, the Amanos Fault takes up a small proportion of the relative motion between the African and Arabian plates, which is transferred southward to the Dead Sea Fault Zone. It also provides strong evidence against the long-standing view that its slip continues offshore to the southwest along a hypothetical left-lateral fault zone located south of Cyprus.
