A two-stage evolution of Visakhapatnam-Paradip shelf,east coast of India,from magnetic studies

A detailed analysis of bathymetry and magnetic data of Visakhapatnam-Paradip shelf, east coast of India revealed three major structural lineaments over the shelf/slope of the area. Models derived from the anomalies associated with the trends indicate that trend A represents horst and graben type continental basement while trend B is due to a series of dyke intrusions. Trend C off Chilka lake forms the northward extension of 85°E lineation from deep sea Bengal Fan. A two stage evolution of the eastern continental margin of India has been inferred from the study of this part of the margin, viz., the rift stage evidenced by dyke intrusions of reverse polarity located within the inner part of the shelf and post-rift stage characterized by vertical tectonics in the form of a horst and graben type continental basement. The hotspot related aseismic 85°E ridge further complicated the tectonics of this part of the area.     

四川攀西裂谷的构造环境及构造发展

攀西的结晶基底岩系——康定群,褶皱基底岩系——会理群、昆阳群与北澳大利亚地区一致,是泛冈瓦纳大陆的组成部分。泥盆—二叠纪时期,扬予古陆发生强烈地裂运动,后期扬予古陆向北漂移,导致了它与澳大利亚的分裂,这时攀西不再是一个单纯的内陆裂谷,它发展为原大洋,成为扬予古陆西缘的被动大陆边缘裂谷。二叠纪末它可能与同步向北漂移的羌塘-印支古陆拼合:三叠纪初与华北陆块拼合;于侏罗纪、白垩纪分别与藏北及藏南陆块拼合;喜马拉雅运动,印度板块碰撞,形成了统一的亚洲大陆,本区受造山作用影响,形成广泛的冲断-推覆体构造形体。

大陆造山带中的隆－滑构造──一种前造山期伸展构造形式

大陆造山带中局部隆起－分层滑脱构造系（简称隆－滑构造）是对造山带的深入研究后提出的一种新的构造形式。它是在前造山期伸展构造作用体制下形成的，其结构由内核、外壳及接合面三部分组成。由于它与后造山期形成的变质核杂岩构造有着形貌相似的特点，因而很容易误将其归属为变质核杂岩构造。由于隆－滑构造有其特定的形成时间和独特的组合样式及构造特征，在造山带构造变形演化序列中应占有重要的地位，因而，这类构造的识别和确立对造山带研究有重要意义。由于隆－滑构造形成后又受到造山期收缩作用的挤压改造，它的原始形象已不甚明确，但一般常可以在复背斜构造中首先发现前造山期隆－滑构造的存在。由于隆－滑构造的特殊性，它对于造山带的构造学、地层学、变质作用以及成矿作用等的研究都很有意义。     

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。     

陕蒙交界地区碎屑岩风化成因浅析

陕蒙交界地区基岩均具强风化,由此造成当地环境恶化、下游地区生态破坏和灾害积累。其形成机理应与岩石本身的物质组成、自然地理环境、地质构造状况、水文地质条件及其物理化学条件有关。而南部地区,由于上述诸因素的差别,基岩风化微弱。     

Modelling and inversion of single-ended refraction data from the shot gathers of multifold deep seismic reflection profiling—an approach for deriving the shallow velocity structure

A multifold crustal-scale deep seismic near-vertical reflection profile generates a large number of single-ended shot gathers, which provide redundant data sets because of overlapping coverage of the shallow refractors. We present an approach for deriving the shallow velocity structure by modelling and inversion of single-ended seismic refraction first arrival traveltime data. We apply this method to a data set acquired with a 12-km long spread with 100 m spacing of shots and receivers, of the Neoproterozoic Marwar basin in the NW Indian shield. The approach is shown to be quite successful for delineating the shallow refractor depths, steep dips and velocities, even in the absence of regular reverse refraction profiles. The study reveals two-layered sedimentary formations, Malani volcanics and a complicated basement configuration of the Marwar basin, and provides a measure of resolution and uncertainty of the estimated model parameters. A seismic section of the near-trace gather is found to be qualitatively consistent with the derived structural features of the basin. The relative highs and lows, observed in the Bouguer gravity profile, further corroborate the derived velocity model. The present approach can be especially useful in offshore areas and elsewhere, where the single-ended multifold seismic profiles are the only available data sets.     

Modelling of mantle postglacial relaxation in axisymmetric geometry with a composite rheology and a glacial load interpolated by adjusted spherical harmonics analysis

Although studies on glacial isostatic adjustment usually assume a purely linear rheology, we have previously shown that mantle relaxation after the melting of Laurentide ice sheet is better described by a composite rheology including a non-linear term. This modelling is, however, based on axially symmetric geometry and glacial forcing derived from ICE-3G and suffers from a certain amount of arbitrariness in the definition of the ice load. In this work we apply adjusted spherical harmonics analysis to interpolate the ice thicknesses of ICE-3G and ICE-1 glaciological models. This filters out the non-axisymmetric components of the ice load by considering only the zonal terms in the spherical harmonics expansion. The resulting load function is used in finite-element simulation of postglacial rebound to compare composite versus purely linear rheology. Our results confirm that composite rheology can explain relative sea level (RSL) data in North America significantly better than a purely linear rheology. The performance of composite rheology suggests that in future investigations, it may be better to use this more physically realistic creep law for modelling mantle deformation induced by glacial forcing.
