南海北部西沙海槽北侧陆坡块体搬运沉积体系的发育特征及演化 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Triple mass-transport deposits(MTDs) with areas of 625, 494 and 902 km2, respectively, have been identified on the north slope of the Xisha Trough, northern South China Sea margin. Based on high-resolution seismic reflection data and multi-beam bathymetric data, the Quaternary MTDs are characterized by typical geometric shapes and internal structures. Results of slope analysis showed that they are developed in a steep slope ranging from 5° to 35°. The head wall scarps of the MTDs arrived to 50 km in length(from headwall to termination). Their inner structures include well developed basal shear surface, growth faults, stepping lateral scarps, erosion grooves, and frontal thrust deformation. From seismic images, the central deepwater channel system of the Xisha Trough has been filled by interbedded channel-levee deposits and thick MTDs. Therefore, we inferred that the MTDs in the deepwater channel system could be dominated by far-travelled slope failure deposits even though there are local collapses of the trough walls. And then, we drew the two-dimensional process model and threedimensional structure model diagram of the MTDs. Combined with the regional geological setting and previous studies, we discussed the trigger mechanisms of the triple MTDs. 相似文献

Shallow slides and pockmark swarms in the Eivissa Channel, western Mediterranean Sea 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Four slides, the Ana, Joan, Nuna and Jersi slides, have been imaged on the seafloor along the Balearic margin of the Eivissa Channel in the western Mediterranean. They have areas of up to 16 km2 and occur in water depths ranging between 600 and 900 m. Volumes range from 0·14 to 0·4 km3. Their headwall scarps, internal architecture and associated deposits are characterized using a combination of swath bathymetry data and very high‐resolution seismic reflection profiles. In general, they show horseshoe‐shaped headwall scarps and distinct depositional lobes with positive relief. Internally, the slide bodies are mostly composed of transparent seismic facies. Chaotic facies are observed at the toe of some of the slides, and blocks of coherent stratified facies embedded in the slide deposit have also been identified. The reflection profiles demonstrate that the four slides share the same slip horizon, which corresponds to a distinctive continuous, high‐amplitude reflector. Furthermore, the geometry of the headwall scars of the Nuna and Ana slides reveals evidence of pockmarks, and fluid escape features are also present further upslope. This indicates a possible link between fluid escape features and destabilization of the upper sediment layers. In addition, these well‐characterized slides demonstrate the pitfalls associated with calculating the volume of the slide masses using headwall scarp heights and the assumed preslide seafloor topography in the absence of seismic data. The internal structure also demonstrates that transport distances within the slides are generally low and poorly characterized by headwall scarp to slide toe lengths. 相似文献

Landslide magnitude–frequency curves allow for the probabilistic characterization of regional landslide hazard. There is evidence
that landslides exhibit self-organized criticality including the tendency to follow a power law over part of the magnitude–frequency
distribution. Landslide distributions, however, also typically exhibit poor agreement with the power law at smaller sizes
in a flattening of the slope known as rollover. Understanding the basis for this difference is critical if we are to accurately
predict landslide hazard, risk or landscape denudation over large areas. One possible argument is that the magnitude–frequency
distribution is dominated by physiographic controls whereby landslides tend to a larger size, and larger landslides are landscape
limited according to a power law. We explore the physiographic argument using first a simple deterministic model and then
a cellular automata model for watersheds in coastal British Columbia. The results compare favorably to actual landslide data:
modeled landslides bifurcate at local elevation highs, deposit mass preferentially where the local slopes decrease, find routes
in confined valley or channel networks, and, when sufficiently large, overwhelm the local topography. The magnitude–frequency
distribution of both the actual landslides and the cellular automata model follow a power law for magnitudes higher than 10,000–20,000 m2 and show a flattening of the slope for smaller magnitudes. Based on the results of both models, we argue that magnitude–frequency
distributions, including both the rollover and the power law components, are a result of actual physiographic limitations
related to slope, slope distance, and the distribution of mass within landslides. The cellular automata model uses simple
empirically based rules that can be gathered for regions worldwide. 相似文献

The Wyresdale Tunnel was driven through Roeburndale Grit Group sediments in the western Bowland Fells. An Arnsbergian age for the strata is confirmed in a palynological study. The tunnel provided a section through a prograding delta front sequence, and proved the Roeburndale Grit Group to be much thicker than previously recorded. Syndepositional instability within the deltaic sediments is illustrated by slumps and debris slides. A comparison is made with modern deltas. It is suggested that the regional variation in sediment thickness is tectonically controlled. 相似文献
