中国东北地区新生代火山幕

中国东北地区分布着约690个火山锥和火山口,50000km~2的玄武岩和粗面岩。自白垩纪晚期到现代可分为10个火山幕,即大屯幕(86—61Ma)、双辽幕(49—39Ma)、下辽河幕(37—27Ma)、甑峰山幕(23—19Ma)、奶头山幕(16—13Ma)、老爷岭幕(11—7Ma)、军舰山幕(4.5—2.0Ma)、龙岗幕(1.5—0.8Ma),白头山幕(0.58—0.06Ma)和五大连池幕(近10000年以来)。火山活动的高潮在中新世和第四纪。早期火山活动发生在松辽地堑内部,随着时间的推移,火山活动逐渐向两侧呈递叠式发展,在大陆边缘一例表现尤为明显。     

Scaling of peak ground motions from digital recordings of small earthquakes at Campi Flegrei,southern Italy

The dependence of peak ground acceleration and velocity on seismic moment is studied for a set of small earthquakes (0.7<M _L<3.2) recorded digitally at distances of a few km in the Campi Flegrei volcanic area near Naples, Italy, during the ground uplift episode of 1982–1984. Numerical simulations, using the -square spectral model with constant stress drop and ane ^–kf high frequency decay, fit well both the velocity and acceleration data for an averagek=0.015. The observed ground motions in the 1–24 Hz frequency band appear to consist of radiation from simple sources modified only slightly by attenuation effects. Moreover, the scaling of peak values agrees closely with those determined in nonvolcanic areas, once the difference in stress drop is taken into account.

论造山带中超镁铁岩的成对分布

文中把俯冲-碰撞型造山带中出露的超镁铁岩分为蛇绿岩型和火山弧型两类,后者又细分为义敦型、阿拉斯加型及橄榄岩-闪长岩型等三个亚类。在同一造山带内,如果蛇绿岩与火山弧型超镁铁岩在空间上相伴分布,侵位的时间相近,则可共同组成一对超镁铁岩带。蛇绿岩代表封闭的洋盆残迹,而火山弧型岩体则来自过渡壳之下、消减带之上的地幔楔。文中还概述了造山带中成对超镁铁岩的分布、产出条件及其在造山带研究中的意义。     

牡丹江地区新生代火山岩初步研究

牡丹江地区上新世至全新世玄武质火山岩基本属于钠质碱性系列岩石。随时代变新,岩石的硅酸不饱和程度和碱含量增高,出现不同的岩石组合。岩石具轻稀土富集的特点,普遍富集大离子亲石元素(K、Rb、Ba、Th等)。据估算,橄榄玄武岩、碱性橄榄玄武岩和响碧玄岩分别为上地幔14.4％及3.2—3.5％部分熔融生成的。这是在库拉板块俯冲作用下,地幔上隆引起的弧后扩张使敦化-密山断裂复活,上地幔发生部分熔融的结果。     

Concentrations of atmospheric constituents observed at Alert,Canada, in relation to air trajectories and synoptic systems

A meteorological analysis is presented for environmental data set obtained from the Canadian Arctic haze study, which is part of AGASP-II. Results of the study indicated that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), sulphate (SO₄ ⁼), ozone (O₃) and other air pollutants observed at Alert, N.W.T. underwent periodical fluctuations. It was found that high concentrations of these atmospheric constituents were associated with a deep (1430–2074 m) inversion and with a major anticyclone. In contrast, relatively low values of these constituents were associated with a cyclonic disturbance near Alert. High concentrations of these constituents occurred with air trajectories coming from the N-W direction, while low values occurred with S trajectories. In addition, examinations of satellite imagery with other meteorological data suggested that volcanic inputs of ash and gases from Augustine Island, Alaska were negligible for the observed high values of these constituents at the ground level at Alert.     

High velocity anomaly beneath the Deccan volcanic province: Evidence from seismic tomography

Analysis of teleseismicP-wave residuals observed at 15 seismograph stations operated in the Deccan volcanic province (DVP) in west central India points to the existence of a large, deep anomalous region in the upper mantle where the velocity is a few per cent higher than in the surrounding region. The seismic stations were operated in three deployments together with a reference station on precambrian granite at Hyderabad and another common station at Poona. The first group of stations lay along a west-northwesterly profile from Hyderabad through Poona to Bhatsa. The second group roughly formed an L-shaped profile from Poona to Hyderabad through Dharwar and Hospet. The third group of stations lay along a northwesterly profile from Hyderabad to Dhule through Aurangabad and Latur. Relative residuals computed with respect to Hyderabad at all the stations showed two basic features: a large almost linear variation from approximately +1s for teleseisms from the north to—1s for those from the southeast at the western stations, and persistance of the pattern with diminishing magnitudes towards the east. Preliminary ray-plotting and three-dimensional inversion of theP-wave residual data delineate the presence of a 600 km long approximately N−S trending anomalous region of high velocity (1–4% contrast) from a depth of about 100 km in the upper mantle encompassing almost the whole width of the DVP. Inversion ofP-wave relative residuals reveal the existence of two prominent features beneath the DVP. The first is a thick high velocity zone (1–4% faster) extending from a depth of about 100 km directly beneath most of the DVP. The second feature is a prominent low velocity region which coincides with the westernmost part of the DVP. A possible explanation for the observed coherent high velocity anomaly is that it forms the root of the lithosphere which coherently translates with the continents during plate motions, an architecture characteristic of precambrian shields. The low velocity zone appears to be related to the rift systems (anomaly 28, 65 Ma) which provided the channel for the outpouring of Deccan basalts at the close of the Cretaceous period.     

Volcanic tremor at Mt. Etna: State-of-the-art and perspectives

Volcanic tremor on Etna seems to have its origin within the main magma feeding system. On the basis of both spectral analyses at two permanent seismic stations and periodical measurements along the slopes of the volcano, two distinct sources are proposed. The former, characterized by low frequency contents (f<1.5 Hz), is located in a 2 km deep flat magma chamber, whereas the latter source seems to be linked to the upper part of the active vents.Turbulent motions in the magma-gas mixture, induced by escaping gases within the conduits, is one proposed cause of volcanic tremor on Etna (Seidl et al., 1981).From spectral analyses we propose approximate models of the feeding system of the main summit craters.Time variations of tremor energy were also investigated, and no regular patterns have been observed for the studied eruptions.More systematic information seems to be needed for a better knowledge of both the source model and location, and correlation between tremor features and volcanic activity.     

A correlation study between ozone and volcanic activity

A cross-correlation study for time-lags of ±5 yrs between eleven ground based ozone stations (1957–1985) for = 40°N–75° N and = 30° E-114° W and five volcanic emissivity indices has shown their close connection: significant correlations well above 90% were obtained. Intepretation of these positive/negative correlations () was based on the global wind circulation (aided also by a 2-D, 3-D representation between, , ), and the types of volcanic aerosols leading to heterogeneous chemical reactions with ozone.
