安徽滁州和管店早白垩世高镁埃达克质侵入岩的成因:锆石U-Pb年代学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素的制约

本文以华北陆块东部早白垩世滁州闪长玢岩和管店石英闪长岩为研究对象,报道了新的全岩地球化学（主量元素、微量元素以及Sr-Nd同位素）以及锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素的综合研究结果,进而约束其岩石成因和构造意义。滁州闪长玢岩中锆石发育振荡环带,管店石英闪长岩中锆石具条痕状吸收的特点,它们均为岩浆成因。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果显示,滁州和管店闪长质锆石年龄分别为128±1Ma和130±2Ma,表明二者均形成于早白垩世。地球化学特征显示,滁州和管店闪长质岩石具有类似的主量元素和微量元素组成,整体具中等的SiO₂含量（58.55%~60.12%）和富MgO（4.43%~5.10%,Mg^#=57~61）的特征,Na₂O/K₂O比值为1.20~1.47,属于高钾钙碱性系列岩石;富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素（如Rb、Ba）,亏损重稀土元素和高场强元素（如Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf）,并具不同程度的Eu负异常（δEu=0.85~0.93）。它们具高的Sr（575×10^-6~1035×10^-6）和低的Y含量（10.2×10^-6~15.3×10^-6）以及高的Sr/Y比值（57~69）,属于埃达克质岩石。此外,滁州和管店闪长质岩石具有类似的Sr-Nd以及锆石Hf同位素的特征,滁州闪长玢岩的⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr初始比值介于0.7061~0.7066之间,ε_Nd（t）值为-17.7~-16.9,锆石ε_Hf（t）值变化于-23.1~-19.1之间,而管店石英闪长岩的⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr初始比值为0.7046~0.7059,ε_Nd（t）值为-18.7~-15.8,锆石ε_Hf（t）值为-25.6~-20.0。综合上述,滁州和管店闪长质岩石均属于高镁埃达克质岩石,起源于拆沉的加厚下地壳部分熔融的熔体与地幔橄榄岩反应的产物,形成于早白垩世华北东部陆块拆沉作用下的伸展背景。     

大陆下地壳拆沉模式初探

下地壳拆沉是人们关注的问题,文中指出下地壳拆沉必须满足至少三个条件：（1）地壳加厚使其下部达到熘辉岩相是拆沉的前提.（2）大规模岩浆活动使大量低密度的中酸性物质移出下地壳,使下地壳密度增加直至超过下伏地幔.由于下地壳榴辉岩石部分熔融所形成的岩浆具有埃达克岩的地球化学特征,因此,大规模魂达克岩的熔出是下地壳拆沉的先决和必要条件.（3）岩石圈地幔转化为软流圈地幔,使下地壳能够进入地幔.陆壳下的岩石圈地幔原先是冷的、刚性的和不易流动的，如果有热和水的加入，可以被软化，使其变成热的、塑性的和易流动的软流圈地幔。因此，岩石圈了幔转化为软流圈地幔是下地壳拆沉的必要条件。作者认为，下地壳不大可能整体拆沉，而很可能是一块一块如飘雪花似地拆沉。如果下地壳的密度降低（低于下伏地幔），如果地幔停止热的供给，如果陆壳底部的软流圈地幔幔又恢复为岩石圈地幔，拆沉即终止。文中讨论了中国东部中生代下地壳拆沉的可能性，探讨了岩石圈减薄的机制，认为下地壳不需要也不可能与岩石圈地幔一道拆况。     

Interplay of tectonics and neogene post-collisional magmatism in the intracarpathian region

Distribution of the Neogene calc-alkaline magmatism of the Carpathian arc is directly related in space and time to the kinematics of the two major terranes of the Intracarpathian area (Alcapa, Tisia-Getia) along the south-eastern border of the European plate. In the West Carpathians and adjacent areas, the volcanic activity occurred between 20–11 Ma, with large volumes of both acidic and intermediate rocks, generally distributed randomly, sometimes transversally to the orogenic belt and as rare small occurrences along the Flysch belt. In the East Carpathians, the volcanic rocks are distributed along the northern margin of the Zemplin block, the north–easternmost part of the Alcapa and eastward along the front of the Getic block, at the contact with European plate. Between Tokaj-Slanské-Vihorlat up to northern Cãlimani Mountains, the magmatism occurred between 14–9 Ma, and along the Cãlimani-Harghita chain between 9–0.2 Ma. The calc-alkaline magmatic rocks of the Apuseni Mountains are located in the interior of the Tisia block and occurred between 14–9 Ma. The generation of the calc-alkaline magmatism is considered here as the result of complex interplay between plate roll-back and lithospheric detachment tectonic processes and the break-off of the subducted plate, mostly in a post-collisional setting. (1) The magmatites of the Western Carpathians and the Pannonian basin were generated in direct relation to subduction roll-back processes, over the downgoing slab, during the period of lateral extrusion and back-arc extension. In this area, characterized by maximum crustal shortening, we can infer further delamination processes to explain the generation of magmas. (2) The magmatic rocks from the northern sector of the East Carpathians (Tokaj-Slanské-Vihorlat up to the Northern Cãlimani Mountains), resulted after subduction roll-back processes and an almost simultaneous break-off of the descending plate all along the arc segment during main clockwise rotation of the Intracarpathian terranes. (3) In the eastern sector of the East Carpathians (Cãlimani up to Harghita Mountains), the magmatic rocks were generated through partial melting of the subducted slab followed by gradual break-off of the subducted plate along strike (north to south). (4) The Apuseni Mts. magmatic activity resulted in transtensional tectonic regime by decompressional melting of lithospheric mantle, during the translation and rotation of Tisia-Getia block.     

Geodynamics of the eastern Yilgarn Craton

Over the last decade there have been significant advances in our understanding of the stratigraphy, magmatism, deformation, metamorphism and timing of mineralisation, in the eastern Yilgarn Craton (EYC) of Western Australia. The integration of these disciplines has enabled a holistic review of the tectonic history of the EYC which favours a paraautochthonous tectonic model.     

Constraints from Moho geometry and crustal thickness on the geodynamic origin of the Vrancea Seismogenic Zone (Romania)

Reprocessing of industry deep seismic reflection data (Ramnicu Sarat and Braila profiles) from the SE Carpathian foreland of Romania provides important new constraints on geodynamic models for the origin of the intermediate depth Vrancea Seismogenic Zone (VSZ). Mantle (70–200 km) earthquakes of the VSZ are characterized by high magnitudes (greater than 6.5), frequent occurrence rates (approximately 25 years), and confinement in a very narrow (30 × 70 × 200 km³) near vertical zone atypical for a Wadati–Benioff plane, located in front of the orogen. These two deep (20 s) seismic reflection profiles (70 km length across the foreland) reveal (1) a high-amplitude, gently east-dipping reflection across most of the section from what we interpret to be the Moho at  15 s (40–42 km) on the Ramnicu Sarat line to  16 s (47–48 km) on the Braila line, (2) a thick sedimentary cover increasing in thickness from east (1 s;  800 m) to west (7.5 s; 14 km), (3) an eastward increase in crustal thickness from 38 km (near VSZ) to  45 km, (4) seismic and topographic evidence for a newly imaged, possibly seismically active basement fault with a surface offset of 30 m observed on the Ramnicu Sarat line, (5) a lack of notable west-dipping structures in the crust and across the Moho, and (6) variable displacements on Peceneaga–Camena Fault of  5 km at Moho and  200 m at the basement–sedimentary cover contact.These observations appear to argue against recent models for west-dipping subduction of oceanic lithosphere at or in the vicinity of the Vrancea Seismogenic Zone given the lack of west-dipping fabrics in the lower crust and across the crust–mantle boundary. Consequently, one possible explanation for the geodynamic origin of VSZ could be partial delamination of the continental lithosphere in an intra-plate setting along a sub-horizontal lithospheric interface in the Carpathian hinterland that likely involves remnant lithospheric coupling between the crust and uppermost mantle in the foreland.     

长江中下游成矿带三维S波速度结构及对深部过程的约束

利用73个固定台站记录的163个远震事件数据,采用多道互相关技术挑选了5524条S波到时数据,并对S波到时数据进行地壳校正,在此基础上采用天然地震层析成像方法和远震S波到时信息,获得了长江中下游成矿带上地幔的三维S波速度结构模型.研究结果表明:(1)研究区域上地幔存在着明显的低速异常,且走向与成矿带相同,可能为上涌的软流圈热物质;(2)研究区域地幔过渡带和上地幔底部存在着明显的高速异常,可能为俯冲的古太平洋板块和拆沉的岩石圈;(3)成矿带上地幔的低速异常呈现由南向北逐渐变浅的空间分布特征,该特征表明软流圈热物质由南向北上涌.综合分析认为,成矿带中生代大规模岩浆活动和成矿作用的深部过程主要与岩石圈的拆沉密切相关.     

西藏高原上地幔的精细结构与构造--地震层析成像给出的启示

用布置在亚东—格尔木的164个流动地震台站记录的926个远震事件的24241条射线,进行远震P波层析成像处理,高分辨率的西藏高原上地幔的速度结构图,显示了印度巨厚地幔岩石圈在向高原之下推进的过程中,在高喜马拉雅之下拆分成上、下两层,这是发生的第一次拆沉. 下层从高喜马拉雅以下约以22°的角度向高原北部插入到350km 深;而其上层则向北伸展直到雁石坪,并构成了高原薄的地幔岩石圈. 在雁石坪北（33.7°N）,当其与亚洲大陆岩石圈地幔相遇后发生断离并下沉. 再次证实了五道梁（35.27°N）深部低速体的存在,本区内地壳内低速物质可能与上述运动有联系,反映了深层热物质的上涌.     

大陆造山带岩石圈拆沉过程的数值模拟

岩石圈拆沉作用是指部分岩石圈由于重力不稳定性而沉入软流圈中的过程,与造山带的演化密切相关.本文基于非牛顿流体近似的有效黏度模型对岩石圈拆沉的过程进行了数值模拟,着重分析了岩石圈的黏度结构对拆沉作用的影响.数值模拟显示,下地壳控制着地壳与岩石圈地幔的耦合程度,对拆沉作用的过程和形态有很大的影响;在一定的初始重力不稳定性条...     

燕山中晚期的中国东部高原:埃达克岩的启示

中国东部燕山期岩浆岩广泛发育,其中有一类具埃达克岩的特征,并根据埃达克岩的成因提出中国东部在燕山中晚期可能为一个高原。本文就中国东部高原的范围、高原存在的依据、高原隆升和减薄的机制进行了讨论,指出中国东部高原大规模的抬升事件大约发生在中-晚侏罗世期间,在早白垩世之后塌陷。高原的隆升与板块消减作用无关,是陆内事件的产物。高原的塌陷是下地壳拆沉作用的结果。拆沉作用不仅可以解释高原的减薄,而且可以解释新生代玄武岩喷发和中国东部盆地的形成。     

大洋岩石圈拆沉与大陆下地壳拆沉：不同的机制及意义——兼评“下地壳＋岩石圈地幔拆沉模式”

拆沉作用(delamination)是地球科学中一个重要的科学问题。本文认为,大洋岩石圈拆沉和大陆下地壳拆沉是不一样的:(1)拆沉的物质不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉的物质包括大洋地壳、岩石圈地幔甚至一部分软流圈地幔,它们共同进入地幔深部;而大陆下地壳拆沉仅仅限制在下地壳,不包括岩石圈地幔。(2)拆沉的动力不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲引起的,是地幔对流的产物,因此是一种快速的主动的拆沉;而下地壳拆沉是由于下地壳加厚使下地壳密度增加引起的,还要求其下刚性的岩石圈地幔转变成塑性的软流圈地幔才有可能发生。因此下地壳拆沉要克服许多阻力才能实现,使拆沉成为一个漫长的过程,是慢速的和被动的拆沉。(3)拆沉的过程不同。大洋岩石圈拆沉是由板块俯冲触发的,俯冲导致碰撞,大洋岩石圈从根部断裂,拆沉进入地幔。大陆下地壳拆沉由地壳加厚开始,使下地壳转变为榴辉岩相;随后,岩石圈地幔减薄,直至全部转化为软流圈地幔;下地壳发生部分熔融,形成大规模的(埃达克质)岩浆,使下地壳榴辉岩的密度大于下伏的地幔,从而引发拆沉。大陆下地壳拆沉不大可能是整体进行的,可能是一块一块地被蚕食、被拆沉的。(4)拆沉后的效应不同。大洋岩石圈地幔拆沉,使热的软流圈地幔上涌,从而引发了一系列地质效应:如岩浆活动、地壳抬升、构造松弛以及随后的造山带垮塌等。而下地壳拆沉只引起地壳减薄,高原和山脉垮塌,并不伴有大规模的岩浆活动和地壳抬升等过程。(5)拆沉与岩浆活动的关系不同。主动拆沉导致大规模岩浆活动,而被动拆沉是在大规模岩浆活动的基础上开始的。此外,文中还对"下地壳 岩石圈地幔拆沉"模式提出了质疑,认为该模式有许多难以理解的问题和太多推测的成分,而且与现在保存的地质事实不符。
