THE INTERPRETATION OF GRAVITATIONAL AND MAGNETIC DATA FOR THE VOLCANIC ROCKS DISTRIBUTION IN KE-BAI FAULT ZONE,JUNGGAR BASIN

This paper firstly discusses the feasibility of delineating the volcanic rocks distribution by gravitational and magnetic methods on the basis of the statistical results of the magnetic susceptibility and density of the different lithologies in the study area. After the separation of gravitational and magnetic fields by bandpass filter, we determined the residual gravitational and magnetic anomalies caused by volcanic rocks. The results of potential field separation show that the residual anomalies are in beaded NE-directed distribution. In the meantime, the boundary enhancement techniques such as horizontal total gradient and vertical derivative are employed to delineate the distribution of the faults, as the result, fifteen faults including four NE-striking main faults which appear as an arc protruding to the southeast and other secondary faults are distinguished. Furthermore, two fault systems with deep and superficial attribution are revealed from the inversed section of the telluric electromagnetic sounding, and their properties, characteristics and roles in the volcanic activity are fully discussed by combining with the tectonic background. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the correlation between the distribution characteristics of the residual gravitational and magnetic anomalies and the location of the faults, three volcanic activity zones are reasonably delineated. Finally, we carry out the inversion of apparent density by taking advantage of the residual gravitational anomalies and acquire the apparent density anomalies of the top part of Paleozoic. Integrated with the apparent density anomalies, the lithologies exposed from the boreholes, the observed density data of different rocks and the residual gravitational-magnetic anomalies, we elaborately delineate the lithologies of the top of Paleozoic and further define the distribution range and the lithology combination of Kekesayi group of Middle Ordovician, Tailegula group of Lower Carboniferous and Jiamuhe group of Lower Permian.
