黄土/古土壤的物源研究对于揭示第四纪气候变化和青藏高原隆升历史具有重要意义。本研究以位于黄土高原西部1.4 Ma以来的兰州黄土/古土壤沉积序列为研究对象,基于X射线衍射技术分析了黄土/古土壤中的主要矿物组成,侧重于碳酸盐矿物含量,追溯了兰州黄土/古土壤的直接物源。结果显示: (1)1.4 Ma以来兰州地区黄土/古土壤沉积物的主要直接源区为柴达木盆地沙漠区和阿拉善干旱区。(2)基于二元混合模型计算的潜在原始源区对兰州黄土白云石和总碳酸盐矿物的相对贡献率以及长石与石英比值结果一致支持1.4 Ma以来兰州黄土原始物源发生了多次变化。1.4~1.1 Ma和0.9~0.3 Ma青藏高原东北缘造山带(昆仑山、祁连山)和中亚造山带对兰州黄土的贡献相当,而1.1~0.9 Ma和0.3 Ma以来,中亚造山带对兰州黄土的物源贡献增加,这可能分别是对中更新世气候转型和0.3 Ma以来青藏高原及邻近地区干冷气候增强的响应。1.15 Ma和0.8 Ma兰州黄土/古土壤中高的白云石含量、碳酸盐矿物总含量以及0.8 Ma长石与石英比值的快速升高可能是对“昆黄运动”的响应,进而造成了昆仑山、祁连山对黄土高原物源贡献的增加。  相似文献

物源研究是理解黄土高原风成沉积物中古环境记录的关键一环.众多证据表明,黄土高原西北部的阿拉善高原及其周边广袤干旱地区是黄土高原黄土的主要风尘源区.但是,基于锆石U-Pb同位素地质年代学的证据对此提出了质疑.黄土高原黄土与青藏高原北部物质中的锆石具有相似的年龄分布,预示黄土高原风尘主要以西风搬运的方式来自青藏高原北部,特别是柴达木盆地.本研究通过分析西宁黄土的锆石年龄特征验证此假说.西宁处于在从青藏高原北部到黄土高原的假想搬运路线上.西宁黄土主要来自青藏高原北部的干旱区.西宁黄土中锆石的主要年龄分布与黄土高原黄土相似,反映青藏高原北部确实为黄土高原黄土的主要物质来源.但是,与黄土高原黄土相比,西宁黄土缺少年龄在360Ma左右和年龄小于100Ma的锆石.这两组年龄的锆石可能来自其他地区,例如处于中亚造山带.由于阿拉善于旱区也通过河流搬运接收来自青藏高原北部的物质,锆石U-Pb年龄证据并不能排除阿拉善干旱区作为主要风尘物源的可能.相反,阿拉善干旱区还接受来自其北部中亚造山带和其本身华北克拉通的物质,来自阿拉善干旱区的风尘可能更好地解释黄土高原黄土中的锆石年龄特征.  相似文献

为了揭示西藏改则地区渐新世-中中新世古气候环境演化,结合改则盆地的沉积环境和沉积相,并利用X射线粉晶衍射对改则盆地的样品进行了全岩分析。结果表明,沉积物中主要矿物组成为石英、长石、方解石和少量白云石等,通过沉积物中矿物含量变化和石英/长石的比值显示青藏高原改则盆地康托组在气候总体为干冷的大背景下经历了4个阶段:Ⅰ(早渐新世):石英含量最高,碳酸盐矿物次之,长石含量最少,白云石在该阶段出现频繁,且含量变化明显,指示气候以季节性干旱为主;Ⅱ(晚渐新世):石英含量最高,但相比上一阶段有所下降,碳酸盐矿物和长石含量增加,指示气候进一步趋向干冷化;Ⅲ(早中新世):石英含量最高,但相比之前两个阶段进一步减少,长石含量进一步增加,碳酸盐总体呈现增加趋势,特别是白云石,相比之前两个阶段含量增加明显以及下降的石英/长石比值,指示气候变得更为干冷;Ⅳ(中中新世):石英含量相对上一阶段有所增加,长石和碳酸盐矿物含量降低,石英/长石比值也有所增长,但相比Ⅰ和Ⅱ阶段仍然较小,指示该阶段气候虽有所回升,但依旧处于干冷环境下。对比青藏高原隆升和全球气候变化,可知改则盆地气候阶段性变化可能是高原隆升和全球气候变化共同影响的结果。  相似文献

前陆盆地沉积物记录了相邻造山带的抬升剥蚀过程,通过前陆盆地沉积物重矿物组合分析可反演相邻造山带的剥蚀历史。别尔托阔依剖面位于帕米尔-天山汇聚带前陆盆地中,其沉积物可能记录了这两个造山带的隆升和剥蚀。对该剖面新生代地层进行系统重矿物鉴定统计,获得不同层位重矿物种类及含量,分析了重矿物含量及特征指数在剖面上的变化特征。研究发现多种重矿物组合及特征指数在中新统安居安组下部发生了显著变化,可能与帕米尔在中新世早—中期的快速抬升有关。  相似文献

末次冰期以来中国季风区西北边缘沙漠演化研究   总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26       下载免费PDF全文
我国季风区西北边缘的沙漠是全球中纬度敏感带的重要组成部分.本文选取区内的毛乌素沙地、共和沙地和腾格里沙漠,通过对末次冰期以来地层年代学、沉积相和地层空间分布的研究,重点探讨了末次冰期和全新世时期两个特征时段的沙漠演化.其中末次冰期是沙漠的持续发展、扩张期,奠定了沙漠的空间格局;全新世早期沙漠总体趋于固定、缩小,中期沙漠大部处于固定、缩小状态,晚期沙漠有所扩大,但未达到末次冰期的最大规模.  相似文献

沉积矿物是记录物源信息和古气候变迁的良好载体。通过显微镜碎屑矿物鉴定和黏土矿物X射线衍射峰能谱分析对芝罘岛黄土状黄土2 个剖面13 个样品进行处理, 并对数据进行数学统计分析。结果表明, 芝罘岛黄土状黄土矿物种类、矿物形态特征、磁铁矿和岩屑的高含量等都揭示了黄土来源的多源性和近源性, 末次冰期时的海底平原沉积物以及洪积、残积物是芝罘岛黄土状黄土的重要物源, 而西北内陆沙漠吹来的细颗粒物质相对较少。普通角闪石、绿帘石含量较高的黄土堆积后期是以远源沉积为主, 且以风力搬运为主; 磁铁矿、岩屑含量较高的早、中期是以近源沉积为主, 搬运动力较复杂。根据黄土状黄土的剖面层序特征, 碎屑矿物以及黏土矿物垂相变化特征, 说明黄土堆积的早期, 气候是相对温暖湿润的, 之后变得寒冷干燥, 后来又逐渐回暖, 然后再转冷, 呈现出末次冰期该地冷暖交替的气候旋回。  相似文献

由于后造山期的构造运动改造和巨量剥蚀,大别造山带的初始剥露时间,即开始为周缘盆地提供物源的时间缺乏精确限定。文章对下扬子宁芜盆地中三叠统黄马青组三角洲相陆源碎屑岩进行野外调查,并开展了沉积岩石学和物源分析。结果显示,黄马青组以岩屑石英砂岩、长石岩屑石英砂岩为主,石英含量76%~84%,岩屑含量10%~14%,长石含量6%~11%。岩屑以富含石英的变质岩或变泥质岩岩屑为主,指示变质岩的特殊物源的存在;黄马青组砂岩碎屑锆石年龄主要分布在350~250 Ma、420~400 Ma、900~700 Ma、2000~1600 Ma、2500~2100 Ma等区间,反映了华南板块北缘、华北板块南缘的混合信号,其物源供应主要来自大别造山带南部的宿松杂岩带、华北板块南缘基底及沉积盖层物质;通过与大别造山带周缘中生代沉积记录进行对比,发现在中—晚三叠世各盆地具有物源相似性,认为大别造山带低级变质带的早期折返导致了造山带的初始抬升和剥露,宁芜盆地中三叠统黄马青组至少一部分沉积物来自造山带早期抬升与剥蚀。  相似文献

中国黄土的物质来源及其粉尘的产生机制与搬运过程   总被引:34,自引:10,他引:24  
孙继敏 《第四纪研究》2004,24(2):175-183
长期以来,黄土高原的物质来源被笼统认为来自包括西北三大内陆盆地(准噶尔、塔里木、柴达木)在内的广阔的沙漠、戈壁地区,而且中国黄土被看作“沙漠”黄土的典型代表。但我们最新的研究揭示出,源自准噶尔和柴达木盆地的粉尘主要由低空气流搬运,受下风方向的山脉阻挡,就近堆积成山麓黄土。源自塔里木盆地的粉尘如果被近地面风搬运,则不可能移出盆地,而是堆积在昆仑山北麓,但如果被飙升到高空,则被西风急流携带,移出盆地而降落在北太平洋地区,无论哪种情况,该盆地的粉尘都不可能对黄土高原有重要贡献。因此,西北三大内陆盆地并非黄土高原的重要物源,而蒙古国南部及与之相邻的包括巴旦吉林、腾格里、乌兰布和、库布其、毛乌素等在内的戈壁、沙漠地区才是黄土高原的主要物质来源区,且主要由近地面风(基本在3000m以下)从上述戈壁、沙漠地区搬运而来。中国黄土并不能简单看作“沙漠”黄土,包括冰川研磨作用、山体剥蚀作用、山前冲洪积作用等在内的“高山过程”,才是产生大量粉土级物质的原因,戈壁、沙漠、黄土的带状分布,只不过是近地面风对山前冲、洪积物质的风力分异而已。  相似文献

It has been established that East Asian summer monsoon intensity varies with Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles, suggesting a connection between the climates of East Asia and the North Atlantic on a millennial timescale. However, the dynamics of such a connection are still unsolved. Here we demonstrate that temporal changes in the provenance of aeolian dust in Japan Sea sediments, which we interpret to reflect changes in the westerly jet path over East Asia, exhibit variations in harmony with Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles. The dominance of dust with a Mongolian Gobi provenance during stadials suggests a westerly jet axis located to the south of the Himalaya–Tibetan Plateau throughout most of the year, whereas the co-dominance of dust from both the Taklimakan Desert and the Mongolian Gobi during interstadials suggests that the westerly jet axis jumped to the north of the Tibetan Plateau at latest in summer. As the shift of the westerly jet axis to the north of the Tibetan Plateau is closely related to the onset of the East Asian summer monsoon, changes of the westerly jet path apparently critically affect the teleconnection between the climates of Asia and North Atlantic on a millennial timescale.  相似文献

The Asian Monsoon forms an important part of the earth’s climate system, yet our understanding of the past interactions between its different sub-systems, the East Asian and Indian monsoons, and between monsoonal winds and other prevailing wind currents such as the Westerly jet, is limited, particularly in central Asia. This in turn affects our ability to develop climate models capable of accurately predicting future changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and monsoon intensities in Asia. Provenance studies of mineral dust deposited in terrestrial settings such as peat bogs can address this problem directly, by offering the possibility to examine past deposition rates and wind direction, and hence reconstruct past atmospheric circulation patterns. However, such studies are challenged by several issues, most importantly the identification of proxies that unambiguously distinguish between the different potential dust sources and that are independent of particle size. In addition, a single analytical method that is suitable for sample preparation of both dust source (i.e. desert sand, soil) and receptor (i.e. dust archive such as peat or soil profiles) material is desirable in order to minimize error propagation derived from the experimental and analytical work. Here, an improved geochemical framework of provenance tracers to study atmospheric circulation patterns and palaeomonsoon variability in central Asia is provided, by combining for the first time mineralogical as well as major and trace elemental (Sc, Y, Th and the rare earth elements) information on Chinese (central Chinese loess plateau, northern Qaidam basin and Taklamakan, Badain Juran and Tengger deserts), Indian (Thar desert) and Tibetan (eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau) dust sources.Quartz, feldspars and clay minerals are the major constituents of all studied sources, with highly variable calcite contents reflected in the CaO concentrations. Chinese and Tibetan dust sources are enriched in middle REE relative to the upper continental crust and average shale but the Thar desert has a REE signature distinctly different from all other dust sources. There are significant differences in major, trace and REE compositions between the coarse and fine fractions of the surface sands, with the finest <4 μm fraction enriched in Al2O3, Fe2O3, MnO, MgO and K2O and the <32 μm fractions in Sc, Y, Th and the REE relative to the coarse fractions. The <4 μm fraction best represents the bulk REE geochemistry of the samples. The provenance tracers Y/∑REE, La/Er, La/Gd, Gd/Er, La/Yb, Y/Tb, Y/La, Y/Nd and to a certain extent the europium anomaly Eu/Eu (all REE normalized to post-Archean Australian shale, PAAS) are particle size-independent tracers, of which combinations of Y/∑REE, La/Yb, Y/Tb, Y/La and Eu/Eu can be used to distinguish the Thar desert, the Chinese deserts, the Chinese loess plateau and the Tibetan soils. Their independence upon grain size means that these tracers can be applied to the long-range provenance tracing of Asian dust even when only bulk samples are available in the source region. Combinations of La/Th, Y/Tb, Y/∑REE, Sc/La and Y/Er distinguish the Tibetan soils from the Chinese loess plateau and the Chinese deserts. La/Th and notably Th/∑REE isolate the signature of the Badain Juran desert and the combination of Sc/La and Y/Er that of the Taklamakan desert. The similarity in all trace and REE-based provenance tracers between the northern Qaidam basin and Tengger desert suggests that these two deposits may have a common aeolian source.  相似文献

青藏高原形成和演化过程中经历的构造活动,在高原的盆地中均有相应的沉积记录。柴达木盆地位于青藏高原北部,盆地新生界地层详细地记录了这些构造-沉积响应。对野外剖面和钻井岩心的新生界沉积物进行了多方面研究,其结果显示,柴达木盆地保存了青藏高原北部三个阶段的构造活动信息:①E1+2的红色粗碎屑沉积物指示了始新世早期的强烈活动构造背景,沉积记录具有低ZTR指数和低重矿物稳定指数的特征,记录了全盆地范围内的造山活动和构造隆升事件,是印度-欧亚板块碰撞所致的远程响应。在这次广泛的大面积的造山活动后,区内迅速遭受剥蚀、夷平,自中-晚始新世时期起,接受沉积。因而此时柴达木盆地与可可西里盆地、乃至塔里木盆地为连通的湖盆体系。②阿尔金山前N1和N21的粗碎屑沉积物记录了渐新世-早中新世阿尔金山的构造隆升事件,而柴北缘和柴西南的大范围三角洲-湖泊细粒沉积物,具有较高的重矿物稳定指数,反映了平静的构造背景,与阿尔金断裂快速走滑以及盆地总体稳定向北推移的时间相对应。大量的侧向走滑活动消减了来自印度板块的挤压应力,使得柴北缘和柴西南的沉积源区(即祁连山和东昆仑造山带)处于构造平静期。③中中新世以来全盆地向上变粗的粗碎屑沉积物,具有较低的重矿物稳定指数,记录了青藏高原北部整体强烈的地壳缩短、加厚和快速构造隆升事件。此外,综合物源分析显示,柴达木盆地新生代沉积源区性质随时间并没有发生明显的改变。  相似文献

Currently mechanisms for the onset of the widespread aeolian dust accumulation in the Chinese Loess Plateau since 8–7 Ma remain elusive. In this study, we compile 11 records of climate (14–7 Ma) and tectonic activity of the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent areas (15–6 Ma). The results suggest that strong tectonic activity in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau has produced massive debris and dust, which was deposited in the piedmont basins and reworked by weathering and fluviolacustrine erosion. At the same time, global cooling and uplift of the Tibetan Plateau over the period of 14–7 Ma intensified the East Asian winter monsoon and westerly winds (westerlies) while weakening the Asian summer monsoon, which led to the spread of dry land vegetation and aridification in interior China. Sediments in the piedmont basins were then exposed in the aridity and transported by the westerlies to the Chinese Loess Plateau and the North Pacific. We suggest that tectonic activity in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and shifting global climate together triggered the widespread aeolian dust accumulation in the Chinese Loess Plateau and the North Pacific since 8–7 Ma.  相似文献

亚洲主要河流的沉积地球化学示踪研究进展   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
发源于喜马拉雅—青藏高原的亚洲几条大河的河流地球化学研究揭示了高原隆升、流域风化剥蚀、大气CO2消耗和亚洲季风气候变化之间的耦合关系。研究认为南亚主要河流流域的化学风化对全球大气CO2消耗和海洋化学通量变化贡献较大,河流沉积地球化学研究反映的高原阶段性隆升过程、流域剥蚀速率以及亚洲季风演化信息也明显比东亚主要河流的记录清晰;尤其是最近几年运用河流碎屑单矿物化学和年代学方法来示踪流域构造演化、沉积物从源到汇过程以及河流演化历史等,取得了许多重要的研究成果。比较而言,我国的河流在元素地球化学和水化学组成方面虽然开展了大量基础研究工作,但目前急需进一步提炼科学目标,与国际性的研究计划结合,综合多学科的研究力量,在研究思路和关键方法上需要突破和深入,加强研究的广度和深度。长江更可以作为一个突破口和研究平台,来开展深入的沉积地球化学示踪研究。  相似文献

中亚造山带东段何时与何地关闭,从俯冲到关闭的过程以及随后的陆内演化又经历了什么主要事件,目前还存在不同认识。中亚造山带东段林西地区的蛇绿混杂岩及其周围地区的区域地质调查表明,以杏树洼蛇绿混杂岩和双井片岩为代表的西拉木伦河构造带是一个晚古生代的增生楔,在该混杂岩带中发育了典型的岩块被包裹在基质中的构造。该楔体被中、晚二叠世克德河砾岩所覆盖。增生楔中最早的近东西向构造代表了向南俯冲阶段的变形,随后继续经历向北的逆冲推覆,卷入了中、晚二叠世地层,形成了碰撞期的变形;在晚二叠世末期—三叠纪早期,蛇绿混杂岩以及上覆的克德河砾岩又经历了区域性的强烈的右行韧性剪切,并发生应变分解。晚二叠世区域性的右行韧性剪切在中亚造山带南缘普遍发育,代表了中亚造山带已经全部进入陆内环境。双井片岩也经历了与蛇绿混杂岩类似的变形事件,在增生楔下部经历变质作用,并在碰撞期抬升至地表,晚期为区域性的右行剪切。同时,结合锆石与磷灰石低温热年代学测试表明,双井片岩和蛇绿混杂岩共同经历了中、晚侏罗世源自北侧蒙古-阿霍茨克大洋关闭导致的近南北向挤压、早白垩世期间遍及东亚的区域性伸展以及晚白垩世短暂的构造反转事件。  相似文献

Rare earth elements (REE) have been extensively used to indicate for material provenance since they behave conservatively and mainly transport in particulate form during earth surface processes. Nevertheless, the application of REE for material provenance study has to be cautious because grain size and mineral fractionations can alter bulk compositions of weathered sediments. Central Asia is one of the most important dust source regions globally and numerous studies on REE compositions of surface materials have been conducted. In this study, REE compositions of various materials from this area are summarized to explore the existing REE-related problems. Overall, chondrite-normalized REE patterns for many surface materials are so uniform that they cannot serve as reliable approaches in tracing material source regions. In contrast, great variations of REE compositions occur among different materials that are derived even from the same parent rock due to influences of grain-size distributions and heavy minerals. For the same reason, small-scale loess around the Tibetan Plateau has different upper continental crust (UCC)-normalized REE patterns compared to those of typical loess. Therefore, great cautions should be made when UCC-normalized REE patterns and REE ratios are utilized to investigate material provenance. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for such studies in future.  相似文献

Geochemical and isotopic studies of aeolian sediments in China   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
The Sr and Nd isotopic, rare earth element (REE) and major element compositions, together with mineral and grain‐size proportions, are reported for aeolian loess deposits and desert sands from several Chinese localities. The study was carried out in order to examine regional variations in the isotopic and geochemical features of these aeolian sediments, and to constrain the provenance of Chinese loess. Samples include loesses from the Tarim and Junggar basins and desert sands from the Taklimakan desert in north‐west China, loess from the Ordos area and desert sands from the Tengger and Mu‐us deserts in north‐central China, as well as loess and desert sands from the Naiman area, north‐east China. REE distributions show minimal variation among the Chinese loess deposits, whereas those for the desert sands show regional variations. New isotopic data document a latitudinal variation in Sr and Nd isotopic features for the loesses and desert sands. The Naiman and Junggar loesses have distinctly lower 87Sr/86Sr ratios and higher εNd(0) values than the loesses from the Tarim Basin, the Ordos area and the Loess Plateau. Among the desert sands, the Naiman samples have higher εNd(0) values than the Taklimakan, Tengger and Mu‐us samples. Isotopic data suggest that loesses of the Loess Plateau were supplied from the Tarim Basin loesses and Taklimakan Desert sand, and that the Naiman loesses were supplied from the Junggar Basin loesses. The latitudinal variation in the loesses and desert sands may be partly explained by isotopic variations reported previously for moraines from the Tianshan and west Kunlun Mountains, which are possible sources for the loesses and desert sands. These inferences on the provenance of the loesses and desert sands are consistent with the dust transport pattern over East Asia.  相似文献
