Palaeoseismic records in lacustrine sediments—A case study of the Daqingshan piedmont fault and Hasuhai Lake in Inner Mongolia,China

As a traditional method for palaeoseismic studies, trenching can be combined with dating techniques to identify palaeoseismic events and the earthquake recurrence interval. However, when using trenches to study palaeoearthquakes, factors such as the active tectonic background of the earthquake‐caused structure, the lithology on both sides of the fault, the geomorphology location and type and the samples and methods for dating will affect the location of the trench. Thus, trenches should be carefully selected and used to identify the impact of ancient earthquakes. The results have substantial uncertainties and limitations. In recent years, scholars have made considerable progress in using other methods to reveal the palaeoseismic information of faults. Moreover, the history of fault activity may have been recorded in the lacustrine sediment adjacent to the fault. Hasuhai Lake is adjacent to the middle segment of the Daqingshan piedmont fault in Inner Mongolia. Since the Holocene, the region has experienced a temperate continental semi‐arid climate with little interference, and Hasuhai Lake and peripheral waters present weak hydrodynamic conditions that provide an ideal location for the study of palaeoseismic records in lacustrine sediments. Sediment samples and samples for dating were collected from three trenches excavated on the periphery of the Hasuhai Lake. Their variations in grain size and magnetic susceptibility revealed that wind and flowing water jointly produced the sedimentary conditions of Hasuhai sediments. The ¹⁴C dating results and variations in the grain size distribution, grain size components and magnetic susceptibility of sediments caused by seismic events obtained in this study were compared with those caused by a series of palaeoseismic events at the middle segment of the Daqingshan piedmont fault reported by previous studies using trenches, knickpoints and palaeosol records. The results identified seven palaeoseismic events recorded near Hasuhai Lake since 12,000 years. The combined use of lacustrine sediment variation characteristics and dating techniques is an effective method for studying palaeoseismic events.     

雄安新区牛东断裂带碳酸盐岩热储探测及其对地热勘探的启示

雄安新区在暂不考虑开采砂岩热储地热资源的前提下,探明碳酸盐岩热储东部边界断裂牛东断裂带的分布位置与地热资源品质,对新区地热资源开发利用规划的编制与整体能源利用布局均有着重要意义。以雄安新区高铁片区第一口碳酸盐岩热储勘探井D09孔的探测数据为依据,结合地震剖面解释成果,分析了牛东断裂带内碳酸盐岩热储的空间展布特征、储集层物理性质与单井产能参数,并简述其对地热勘探的指导意义。探测结果表明,牛东断裂带的碳酸盐岩热储主要为蓟县系雾迷山组含硅质的白云岩,分布在断裂西侧基岩宽缓背斜顶部,层状稳定,厚约2000m,顶板埋深1000~1200m,井口水温约70℃,单井水量约102m3/h。D09孔揭示,在距风化壳顶部678m的地层内共发育122个裂隙带,累计厚度达251.20m,裂隙发育率37%,平均孔隙度9.26%,裂隙发育率与平均孔隙度明显比断裂带外地热井高出50%。D09孔与牛东断裂带周缘地热井的地层地温梯度、地热水水化学特征、储集层导水系数等对比分析表明,垂直断距达7000m的牛东断裂带是一条导水导热的盆内隐伏型深断裂,其限定了雄安新区碳酸盐岩热储含水系统的东部边界,构成了西侧牛驼镇凸起的导水通道与东侧霸县凹陷油气运移的阻隔屏障,控制了牛驼镇凸起面积达1000km2的整装地热田的形成。     

1605年海南岛琼州大地震及其发震构造的初步探讨

琼北地区铺前−清澜断裂是一条关系到1605年琼山7½级大地震发震构造判断的重要断裂。为准确厘定该断裂的最新活动特征,针对琼北地区第四纪玄武岩盖层和巨厚海相砂沉积等地质条件,采用大吨位震源的浅层人工地震勘探和小间距钻孔联合地质剖面探测相结合的方法,分别在海口江东三江镇岐山头村和东寨村展开探测。结果表明：(1) 铺前−清澜断裂断错了多个标志地层,最浅断错至全新统烟墩组淤泥层,上断点埋深10 m左右,钻探所揭示的断层面明显具有走滑兼具逆冲性质,是一条具有一定宽度、多分支、多期次活动的大规模断裂带;(2)钻孔联合地质剖面所揭示的地层深度范围内,被断错地层的位移量随着深度增加而加大,铺前−清澜断裂自8 346~7 153 a cal BP以来有过活动,全新世累计垂直位移量4~5 m,垂直位移速率为0.53~0.63 mm/a,推断其为1605年琼山大地震的发震断裂。本研究取得的铺前−清澜断裂全新世活动的新证据,为国土空间规划和区域地震危险性评价提供了科学依据。

论中国大陆基底构造

中国大陆基底可以分为４个区域：西域克拉通和东亚克拉通具太古代－早元古代变质基底,蒙藏增生陆块与华南增生陆块为元古代基底．在西域克拉通内可以识别出南塔里木陆核分布区、准噶尔陆核分布区与伊犁陆核;在东亚克拉通内可以勾画出燕吕陆核分布区、黄淮陆核分布区、秦岭陆核分布区和扬子陆核分布区．在克拉通形成的同时或稍后,在克拉通的两侧发育巨型基底断裂．在东亚克拉通的东西侧为郯庐断裂带与东亚克拉通西缘断裂带;在西域克拉通的南北为阿尔金断裂带与阿尔曼大断裂带．在蒙藏地块中部通过的日喀则－狼山断裂带是位于两克拉通之间的重要断裂带．
