南海西南海盆的岩石圈张裂模式探讨

南海西南海盆的西北边缘和东南边缘在地形地貌上不对称,在地质构造特征上东南边缘为上板块边缘,西北边缘为下板块边缘,它们为一对共轭边缘。新生代张性构造运动和海底扩张活动中,上地壳呈脆性,发生过脆性变形,产生了一系列倾斜正断裂及一系列断块,断块沿断层面转动,在地表出现一系列半地堑,在拉张应力的进一步作用下,上地壳沿断层面被拉开;下地壳呈塑性,发生塑性变形,最后以瓶颈方式被拉断。由此可见,在张性应力场作用下,岩石圈的变形方式是分层而异的：上地壳以简单剪切方式变形,下地壳以纯剪切方式变形。因此,整个岩石圈的变形方式是分层变形的     

冲绳海槽现代张裂的地球物理特征

滇西南地区南汀河断裂带三维深部电性结构及其孕震环境

南汀河断裂带为滇西南地区活动断裂体系中规模最大的一条北东向断裂,其构造活动及地震危险性一直备受关注.本文基于覆盖云南境内南汀河断裂带的大地电磁测深宽频带阵列数据,利用大地电磁三维反演解释技术,首次获得了南汀河断裂带的精细三维深部电性结构.在上地壳深度,南汀河断裂带西南段与中段的电性结构表现出沿构造走向的高导条带特征,北东段表现为高阻结构.该高阻结构可能为临沧—勐海花岗岩体的电性反映,指示南汀河断裂可能未切穿该花岗岩带.在中下地壳深度,南汀河断裂带西南段存在大范围高导层,北东段则表现为整体性的高阻地壳,因此南汀河断裂北东段可能具有发生强震的介质结构背景.南汀河断裂带西南段的耿马地震区深部呈现北东向与北北西向的"X"型高导构造样式,该高导结构以南存在一个显著高阻异常体,1988年耿马M_S7.2地震以及2015年沧源M_S5.5级地震均发生于该高阻体与"X"型高导条带的电性边界.青藏高原东南缘绕东构造结流入滇西地区的中下地壳流可能受到南汀河断裂北东段中下地壳高阻体的阻挡而呈分流式分布于保山地块以及澜沧江断裂以东.     

Effects of different spatial distributions of physical soil crusts on runoff and erosion on the Loess Plateau in China

The response of runoff and erosion to soil crusts has been extensively investigated in recent decades. However, there have been few attempts to look at the effects of spatial configuration of different soil crusts on erosion processes. Here we investigated the effects of different spatial distributions of physical soil crusts on runoff and erosion in the semi‐arid Loess Plateau region. Soil boxes (1.5 m long × 0.2 m wide) were set to a slope of 17.6% (10°) and simulated rainfall of 120 mm h^?1 (60 minutes). The runoff generation and erosion rates were determined for three crust area ratios (depositional crust for 20%, 33%, and 50% of the total slope) and five spatial distribution patterns (depositional crust on the lower, lower‐middle, middle, mid‐upper, and upper slope) of soil crusts. The reduction in sediment loss (‘sediment reduction’) was calculated to evaluate the effects of different spatial distributions of soil crusts on erosion. Sediment yield was influenced by the area ratio and spatial position of different soil crusts. The runoff rate reached a steady state after an initial trend of unsteadily increasing with increasing rainfall duration. Sediment yield was controlled by detachment limitation and then transport limitation under rainfall. The shifting time of erosion from a transport to detachment‐limiting regime decreased with increasing area of depositional crust. No significant differences were observed in the total runoff among treatments, while the total sediment yield varied under different spatial distributions. At the same area ratio, total sediment yield was the largest when the depositional crust was on the upper slope, and it was smallest when the crust was deposited on the lower slope. The sediment reduction of structural crust (42.5–66.5%) was greater than that of depositional crust (16.7–34.3%). These results provide a mechanistic understanding of how different spatial distributions of soil crusts affect runoff and sediment production. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

青藏高原内部地壳岩性的改造、岩性随深度变化及形变构造是探索研究地壳增厚、物质运动问题的关键.巴颜喀拉块体位于青藏高原中北部,地域广袤,通过对块体内中、东部不同区域的深地震广角反射/折射震相的综合分析,利用反射率理论地震图方法对不同性质震相走时及振幅特征进行细致的模拟计算,进一步研究巴颜喀拉块体内部不同区域地壳精细结构.结果显示:巴颜喀拉块体地壳厚度50~60 km、整体向西逐渐增厚,结晶地壳平均速度6.07~6.18 km·s~(-1)、岩层速度大幅降低,壳内多强反射界面结构、但不同区域差异明显;东部若尔盖盆地地壳介质速度整体低速、壳幔边界较为清晰;中部玉树一玛多段下部地壳发现约6.8 km·s~(-1)的"高速度"介质结构,壳幔边界不清、被改造为2~4 km厚的高速度梯度层,显示了巴颜喀拉块体内部地壳增厚、介质岩性结构被改造的差异性.地壳内部多组强反射、低视速度走时震相揭示了介质岩性的低速破碎、弱化蠕变以及可能的壳内解耦构造.局部地区下地壳的高视速度震相特征显示了青藏高原地壳改造增厚大背景下可能存在稳定的"原始地壳"结构残留或是与上地幔物质的浸入交流.巴颜喀拉块体内不同区域地壳增厚、岩性结构、结晶基底及壳幔边界性质被改造的多样性为深入认识青藏高原地壳形变及动力学过程带来新的启迪.     

不同成因的海洋铁锰氧化物沉积物中稀土元素的地球化学特征

测试了具代表性的成岩型结核和水成型结壳的稀土元素,以研究稀土元素在这两种成因的海洋铁锰氧化物沉积物的特征及其与成因的关系。稀土元素特征表明稀土元素没有参与成岩型结核的成岩作用。即没有加入到1nm水锰矿中去,而是加入到无定形铁的氧化物、氢氧化物中去。同样,稀土元素也没有直接参与水成结壳的水成作用,即没有加入到锰、铁的氧化物、氢氧化物中去,而是与钙、磷相关。推测在很大程度上是先沉淀在钙、磷相中然后才加入到水成结壳中。稀土元素在这两种类型的沉积物的分布与其成因密切相关。     

云南金平县阿德博独居石矿床成矿时代及地质意义

西南三江地区是我国重要的成矿区带之一,具有复合叠加成矿特征。阿德博独居石矿床位于云南省金平县境内,印度地块、哀牢山-金沙江断裂带南侧,属于哀牢山隆起的东南延伸部分。该矿床赋存于花岗质风化壳中,岩性主要有片麻状花岗岩、二长花岗岩、花岗片麻岩;矿体中主要含有独居石,少量磷钇矿、锆石、金红石、钛铁矿、榍石。岩体中片麻状花岗岩的锆石U-Pb谐和年龄为31.40±0.16Ma(MSWD=7.8),二长花岗岩的锆石U-Pb谐和年龄为34.52±0.22 Ma(MSWD=1.3),表明阿德博岩体形成于新生代古近纪,与三江地区构造体制转换阶段富碱斑岩体的成矿时期一致。片麻状花岗岩中45个锆石Hf同位素数据结果较均一,(~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf)i比值范围为0.282583～0.282712,平均为0.282633,εHf(t=31.40 Ma)范围为-6.00～-1.44,平均值为-4.21。二长花岗岩中13个锆石Hf同位素数据结果变化范围较大,(~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf)i=0.282484～0.282814(平均值为0.282681),εHf(t=31.40 Ma)=-9.43～2.22(平均值为-2.45);其中有8粒锆石的εHf(t)为负值,5颗锆石的εHf(t)为正值,暗示岩体的源区主要为地壳物质的部分熔融,可能有地幔物质的混合。     

Geochemical characteristics of a pre-Middle Jurassic oceanic crust fragment from the Central Pontides in northern Turkey: Geodynamic implications on intra-oceanic subduction initiation

The Central Pontides (northern Turkey) is one of the key localities to understand the geodynamic evolution of the Palaeo- and Neotethyan oceans. It consists of the pre-Jurassic basement units, the Early Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous accretionary complexes, the widespread Middle Jurassic continental arc magmatics and the Late Jurassic to Tertiary cover units. The Early Cretaceous accretionary complex is represented by the Central Pontide Structural Complex and includes the Middle Jurassic oceanic units, which were metamorphosed during the Early Cretaceous. Apart from these oceanic units, a few metaophiolite and serpentinite fragments have been recognized within the basement units, which may represent the remnants of an older ocean. The pre-Middle Jurassic Devrekani Metaophiolite is the largest oceanic fragment and tectonically intercalated within/between the Devrekani Metamorphics and the Çangaldağ Metamorphic Complex. It is mainly composed of harzburgites, dunites with chromite veins and metagabbros, and cut by metabasaltic andesites and metadacites. Petrographically, the gabbro consists mainly of plagioclase and clinopyroxene, and displays phaneritic/porphyritic texture. In contrast, the metabasaltic andesite includes plagioclase and mica phenocrysts within a fine-grained groundmass. Also, the metadacite is composed predominantly of quartz, plagioclase, and mica minerals. Two different magmatic groups belonging to completely different tectono-magmatic settings have been geochemically determined based on the immobile trace element systematics. The metadacites and metabasaltic andesites are akin to continental arc magmatics and characterized by negative Nb and Ta anomalies and depleted HFSE relative to Th and La contents. However, the metagabbro samples display the geochemical signatures of boninitic rocks and characterized by highly depletion in HFSEs and REEs relative to N-MORB. The Devrekani Metaophiolite in the Central Pontides may represent another remnant of pre-Middle Jurassic oceanic crust generation and can be north-eastward continuation of the Permian-aged Almacık complex and the Boğazköy Metaophiolite fragment in the western Sakarya Composite Terrane. It may have been cut by intrusions of the extensive Middle Jurassic continental arc magmatism after its imbrication within the basement unit. The presence of pre-Middle Jurassic oceanic units may indicate that the Paleozoic ocean may have survived as the Jurassic Intra-Pontide Ocean between the Scythian Platform and Sakarya Composite Terrane during the Mesozoic time. Thus, the Intra-Pontide Suture may normally include the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic remnants of the long-lived northward subducting Tethyan ocean.     

An analysis of soil crust strength in relation to potential abrasion by saltating particles

Wind erosion depends on the ease with which particles can be detached from the soil surface, but suitable tests to characterize this property are not available. Two possible methods to determine surface soil strength in the field were therefore compared on a range of artificially ‘crusted’ surfaces. These were made by spraying or tension wetting aggregates (10–2, 2–0.5 and <0.5 mm) from a structurally unstable sandy loam, followed by drying. Each test involved measuring the force exerted on a probe driven at a steady rate into the surface, using either a flat-tipped 0.6 mm diameter penetrometer or a flat-ended cylindrical punch with inner and outer diameters of 5 and 6 mm, respectively. Both probes showed that crusts could be produced reproducibly. Depending on the probe and aggregate size, penetration mainly occurred either as a result of aggregates being deflected out of the pathway of the probe or by genuine rupture of aggregates or of the crusted surface. The penetrometer, because it was comparable to the size of sand grains, gave results that can be used to characterize surface erodibility to saltating particles. The punch gave results that would be unsuitable for this purpose, as would other strength tests that are on too large a scale. Penetrometer results were analyzed to calculate the energy required for penetration. It was thus possible to demonstrate that only the spray-wetted fine aggregates had a surface that could undergo large-scale rupture by saltating sand grains. For all other surfaces, saltating particles would be unable to supply sufficient energy to rupture aggregates or the crusted surface. Erosion could only occur by a slower process of abrasion in which smaller particles or aggregates are chipped away from the surface. However, it is shown that saltating particles could rupture the interaggregate bonding in the 2–0.5 mm aggregate surfaces, thus permitting creep. An alternative and potentially simpler way of characterizing surface erodibility by using a surface modulus of elasticity is also discussed. Our results demonstrate that the small diameter penetrometer is a promising technique for characterizing erodibility of aggregated and crusted surfaces. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
