This paper discusses the structure of the American-Antarctic Ridge based on analysis of the gravity field. Analysis of the gravity field in different reductions and its transforms allowed the revelation of zonal, regional, and local specific features in the field’s structure and their correlation with contemporary notions on the tectonic zoning of the American-Antarctic Ridge and adjacent regions. The lineament structures of the field allowed locating the areas of spreading zones and principal transform and fracture zones. Comparison between the location of these structural features and the interpretation results of shipboard magnetic measurements confirmed the reliability of the received data. Results of the performed investigations presented in the form of structural schemes are a basis for constructing a model of the tectonosphere under the American-Antarctic Ridge.  相似文献

南海北部渐新世末沉积环境及物源突变事件   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8       下载免费PDF全文
南海北部沉积物成分在渐新世末(23.8Ma)发生剧烈改变,出现地球化学成分上的突变,并在深海沉积中发生沉积间断及滑塌堆积。这些沉积事件在时间上与南海扩张轴由东西方向转为北东—南西方向发生跳跃的时间十分吻合,是渐新世以来南海构造演化史上最为重大的构造事件。经过这次构造事件,白云凹陷由渐新世晚期的浅水陆架环境转为中新世以后的深水陆坡环境,南海北部地区沉积物源由渐新世近源为主转变为中新世远源为主的供给特点;并使南海北部地区自中新世以来总体呈现海侵的特征。这次沉积环境与物源突变事件对南海北部地区油气藏的形成影响深远。  相似文献

Chronological succession in the formation of spreading basins is considered in the context of reconstruction of breakdown of Wegener’s Pangea and the development of the geodynamic system of the Arctic Ocean. This study made it possible to indentify three temporally and spatially isolated generations of spreading basins: Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous-Early Cenozoic, and Cenozoic. The first generation is determined by the formation, evolution, and extinction of the spreading center in the Canada Basin as a tectonic element of the Amerasia Basin. The second generation is connected to the development of the Labrador-Baffin-Makarov spreading branch that ceased to function in the Eocene. The third generation pertains to the formation of the spreading system of interrelated ultraslow Mohna, Knipovich, and Gakkel mid-ocean ridges that has functioned until now in the Norwegian-Greenland and Eurasia basins. The interpretation of the available geological and geophysical data shows that after the formation of the Canada Basin, the Arctic region escaped the geodynamic influence of the Paleopacific, characterized by spreading, subduction, formation of backarc basins, collision-related processes, etc. The origination of the Makarov Basin marks the onset of the oceanic regime characteristic of the North Atlantic (intercontinental rifting, slow and ultraslow spreading, separation of continental blocks (microcontinents), extinction of spreading centers of primary basins, spreading jumps, formation of young spreading ridges and centers, etc., are typical) along with retention of northward propagation of spreading systems both from the Pacific and Atlantic sides. The aforesaid indicates that the Arctic Ocean is in fact a hybrid basin or, in other words, a composite heterogeneous ocean in respect to its architectonics. The Arctic Ocean was formed as a result of spatial juxtaposition of two geodynamic systems different in age and geodynamic style: the Paleopacific system of the Canada Basin that finished its evolution in the Late Cretaceous and the North Atlantic system of the Makarov and Eurasia basins that came to take the place of the Paleopacific system. In contrast to traditional views, it has been suggested that asymmetry of the northern Norwegian-Greenland Basin is explained by two-stage development of this Atlantic segment with formation of primary and secondary spreading centers. The secondary spreading center of the Knipovich Ridge started to evolve approximately at the Oligocene-Miocene transition. This process resulted in the breaking off of the Hovgard continental block from the Barents Sea margin. Thus, the breakdown of Wegener’s Pangea and its Laurasian fragments with the formation of young spreading basins was a staged process that developed nearly from opposite sides. Before the Late Cretaceous (the first stage), the Pangea broke down from the side of Paleopacific to form the Canada Basin, an element of the Amerasia Basin (first phase of ocean formation). Since the Late Cretaceous, destructive pulses came from the side of the North Atlantic and resulted in the separation of Greenland from North America and the development of the Labrador-Baffin-Makarov spreading system (second phase of ocean formation). The Cenozoic was marked by the development of the second spreading branch and the formation of the Norwegian-Greenland and Eurasia oceanic basins (third phase of ocean formation). Spreading centers of this branch are functioning currently but at an extremely low rate.  相似文献

海南地幔柱与南海形成演化   总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15  
东南亚上地幔地震层析成像表明,海南岛周围之下存在地幔柱,近垂直的低波速柱体位于海南岛及南海之下,从浅部向下穿越660 km的不连续面处(上下地幔的分界面)并一直延伸到1 900 km。南海及周边地区包括雷琼半岛、海南岛、北部湾盆地、广西北海涠洲岛、以及中南半岛等地,分布有一定量的新生代碱性玄武岩,它们的地球化学数据显示出OIB的特点并具有DUPAL异常,表明其源区较深。此外,由南海新生代碱性玄武岩中的橄榄石-流体平衡所推导的南海底地幔潜在温度( 1 661℃)位于夏威夷(1 688℃)与冰岛热点(1 637℃)相应值之间,为海南岛地幔柱的存在提供了岩石学及矿物化学方面的约束。基于以上地球物理学、地球化学及矿物化学方面的证据,结合数字模拟实验资料,表明在海南岛及邻近区域之下存在地幔柱。建立了一个南海形成演化的初步模型:(1)50~32 Ma,印度洋板块-欧亚板块碰撞及其所导致的太平洋板块后退的综合效应为南海地区提供了一个伸展环境,进而为地幔柱物质的上升提供了通道;(2)32~21 Ma,当地幔柱柱头到达软流圈时, 由于侧向物质流与扩张中心发生相互作用,促进了南海的扩张,并在26~24 Ma期间发生了洋脊重新就位,使扩张中心从原来的18°N附近(即现今西北海盆的中心)调整到15.5°N附近(即现今的东部亚盆);(3)21~15.5 Ma, 随着地幔柱效应的逐渐增强,热点-洋脊相互作用越来越强烈,在大约21 Ma发生了洋脊的再次重新就位事件,诱发了西南海盆的扩张;(4)15.5 Ma~现在,由于印澳板块前缘与巽他大陆碰撞,使得南海大约在15.5 Ma停止扩张,并沿着南沙海槽及吕宋海沟向菲律宾岛弧及巴拉望地块之下俯冲,而南海热点继续活动,直到第四纪还有碱性玄武岩喷出 地表。  相似文献

南海扩张的动力学因素及其数值模拟讨论   总被引:22,自引:6,他引:16  
由于南海处于欧亚板块、太平洋板块和印度-澳大利亚板块的交汇区,演化历史十分复杂,历来存在多种成因观点的争论。本文采用数值模拟方法,在XiaBinetal.(2005)、夏斌等(2004)、崔学军等(2005)、谢建华等(2005)相关工作基础上,对南海扩张机制进行了进一步探讨,并针对南海地区“近南北向水平拉张”南海扩张的贡献大小,以及“近南北向水平拉张”与“地幔上涌”在南海扩张中作用的相互关系进行了数值模拟实验。结果表明由印度-欧亚板块碰撞和太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲的共同作用,所导致的“南北向构造拉张”和“地幔上涌”的共同作用能有效引起岩石圈和地壳两者很大程度的减薄。因此认为这种“南北向构造拉张”和“地幔上涌”的共同作用方式最有利于南海的扩张。  相似文献

The history of the opening of the South Atlantic in Early Cretaceous time is considered. It is shown that the determining role for continental breakup preparation has been played by tectono-magmatic events within the limits of the distal margins that developed above the plume head. The formation of the Rio Grande Rise–Walvis Ridge volcanic system along the trace of the hot spot is considered. The magmatism in the South Atlantic margins, its sources, and changes in composition during the evolution are described. On the basis of petrogeochemical data, the peculiarities of rocks with a continental signature are shown. Based on Pb–Sr–Nd isotopic studies, it is found that the manifestations of magmatism in the proximal margins had features of enriched components related to the EM I and EM II sources, sometimes with certain participation of the HIMU source. Within the limits of the Walvis Ridge, as magmatism expanded to the newly formed oceanic crust, the participation of depleted asthenospheric mantle became larger in the composition of magmas. The role played by the Tristan plume in magma generation is discussed: it is the most considered as the heat source that determined the melting of the ancient enriched lithosphere. The specifics of the tectono-magmatic evolution of the South Atlantic is pointed out: the origination during spreading of a number of hot spots above the periphery of the African superplume. The diachronous character of the opening of the ocean is considered in the context of northward progradation of the breakup line and its connection with the northern branch of the Atlantic Ocean in the Mid-Cretaceous.  相似文献

皖南浅变质岩区的构造演化及矿产分布规律   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
皖南浅变质岩地区由四个不同构造单元拼合而成。中元古早期皖南为一古岛弧;约1000Ma前,华南板块沿江山-绍兴一带俯冲,是岛弧向扬子板块增生;约900Ma前左右,皖南沿祁门-三阳坑一带产生弧后扩张盆地;而850Ma前,华夏古陆沿江山-绍兴一带与扬子板块对接拼合,弧后盆地被动俯冲结束,标志增生的完成,同时深部发生重熔,形成初生陆壳改造型(S型)花岗岩类侵入体,如休宁、许村、歙县等岩体;约780Ma,华南洋壳的俯冲使洋盆逐渐缩小,华南板块和扬子板块发生碰撞,以至祁门-三阳海盆关闭,形成祁门-三阳坑陆壳碰撞地缝合线。这时期的碰撞挤压,使初生陆壳重熔形成板内改造型灵山、莲花山和白际山侵入岩体,最终形成白际岭火山岩推覆席,标志皖南构造格局形成。这些构造演化既奠定了本区的构造格局,又控制着该区的矿产分布。本区主要矿种的成矿期为晋宁期和燕山期,中生代的成矿作用是在晋宁期变质基底上局部演化的结果,即中生代的矿产分布仍反映了基底格局对区域成矿的控制。  相似文献

The integration of information obtained from onshore and offshore geological and geophysical research undertaken in the context of the International Polar Year has led to the following results. The continental crust is widespread in the Arctic not only beneath the shelves of polar seas in the framework of the Amerasia Basin but also in the Chukchi-Northwind, Lomonosov, and Mendeleev ridges; a combination of continental and oceanic crusts is inferred in the Alpha Ridge. The Amerasia Basin is not an indivisible element of the Arctic Ocean either in genetic or structural terms but consists of variously oriented basins different in age. The first, Mesozoic “minor ocean” of the Arctic Ocean—the Canada Basin—arose as a result of impact of the Arctic plume on the high-latitude region of Pangea. This inference is supported by the vast Central Arctic igneous province that comprises the Jurassic-Mid-Cretaceous within-plate and ocean-island basaltic and associated rocks. The rotational mechanism of opening of this basin is explained by the slant path of the plume head motion, which resulted in breaking-off and displacement of a fragment of Pangea. The effect of the Arctic plume was expressed during all stages of the opening of the Canada Basin and exerted effects on the adjacent part of the Eurasian continent during the formation of the Verkhoyansk-Chukotka tectonic domain. The Canada Basin was an element of the segmented system of Atlantic spreading ridges, while the Arctic plume that initiated its evolution was genetically related to the episodically acting African-Atlantic superplume. In comparison with the Pacific superplume, the low productivity of African-Atlantic lower mantle upwelling became the cause of slow and ultraslow spreading in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and determined the passive character of their margins, including the Canada Basin.  相似文献

三水盆地是南海北部邻区陆域唯一具有新生代火山活动记录的盆地,最晚一期火山喷发时间是38Ma,也是南海北部陆域已知的在南海扩张之前最晚的火山喷发年代。应用K-Ar同位素年代测定方法,首次发现三水盆地存在29.27±1.52Ma的玄武岩和28.25±1.14Ma的流纹岩,构造判别图解指示其产出环境是板内拉张,与盆地之前火山类型一致,为双峰式火山岩,玄武岩具有与洋岛玄武岩相似的地球化学特征,流纹岩具有与A型花岗岩相似的地球化学特征,且玄武岩与流纹岩均与其他地区地幔柱成因火山岩具有相似的地球化学特征。这一代表板内破裂的双峰式火山记录将南海北部陆缘的火山喷发活动从早先已知的古新世—中始新世延续至渐新世中期,众所周知,南海的开裂起始时间约在32Ma,对于南海扩张期间周边陆域是否存在相关联的火山活动及建立南海早期开裂模式具有重要意义。  相似文献

南大西洋裂解造成的非洲和南美洲的大陆分离到了广泛认可,该区域也与大陆漂移学说的诞生密切相关。但大陆漂移的驱动力从其提出至今一直存在争议,定量化分析大西洋裂解过程中板块运动的驱动力显得尤为重要。我们研究了南大西洋两侧被动大陆边缘盆地区域的两条深反射地震勘探剖面,在构造地质解译基础上,详细估算了非洲大陆的莫霍面倾角,得到了沿莫霍面地壳重力滑移剪切力的大小,用于解释大西洋裂解过程中非洲大陆运动的动力机制。结果说明,非洲大陆板块在地幔上涌形成的倾斜界面上能够产生强大的重力滑移力,且南部驱动力大于中部。大陆板块依靠连续的地幔热上涌和重力滑移力会持续漂移。该模型能够合理解释大西洋上诸多线状分布的大陆残片的成因机制,也能合理解释南大西洋南部宽度大于中部的内在原因,最后对南大西洋的打开过程进行了精细的构造演化史恢复。该研究为板块运动提供了一个新的动力模式,为认识板块运动驱动力提供了更为精确的约束信息。  相似文献

Crustal structural features having a vortical or spiral shape were discovered in the first third of the 20th century. Since then, such features of various ranks, but similar appearance, have been revealed in different geotectonic settings; however, an adequate tectonic interpretation has not been offered. With allowance for the specific character of vortical movement, the evolution of the structural geometry of the North Atlantic basins and different segments of the global system of mid-ocean ridges is considered in this paper. It is shown that vortical movements do take place in the solid Earth during ocean formation and create scale-invariant rifting and spreading systems, where the spreading axis tends to undergo whirling. The size of these systems differs by more than two orders of magnitude. Many geotectonic phenomena that accompany the formation of oceans, including segmentation of the ocean floor and passive continental margins, folding of the sedimentary cover at these margins, and tectonic delamination of the oceanic lithosphere, may be explained by vortical movements of different ranks. In addition, the vortical structures on continents are variable in size and related to lithotectonic complexes of different ages. The vortical structural units of the Mediterranean Belt are considered as an example. Being driven by the same physical mechanism, the vortical movements depend on the dynamics of different geospheres. These movements are realized only in a nonlinear, nonequilibrium medium. Hence, only nonlinear and nonequilibrium thermodynamics will serve as a theoretical basis for a new concept, which is coming currently to take the place of plate tectonics.  相似文献

位于我国南海南部南沙海槽东南缘深水逆冲推覆构造系统记录着古南海俯冲与消亡及南海扩张的演化史,为现今仍在活动的构造系统。本文综合阐述了深水逆冲推覆构造的几何学和运动学特征、形成时代和形成过程,并结合区域地质背景探讨其动力学机制,建立构造演化模式。研究结果表明,基于几何学特征差异该构造系统在平面上可划分为南段和北段,垂向上分为上部逆冲推覆构造体系和下部逆冲推覆构造体系。受控于动力学机制,北段褶皱构造变形强度明显大于南段,体现在相邻逆冲褶皱排列间距明显小于南段。综合区域地质背景分析认为:下部逆冲推覆构造体系变形机制为晚白垩世—早中新世古南海俯冲消亡于婆罗洲之下的地壳缩短作用,而上部逆冲推覆构造体系变形机制为中中新世以来三角洲推进的重力滑脱作用与苏禄海盆扩张的地壳缩短作用的叠加结果。  相似文献

The Mesozoic and Cenozoic seamounts and submarine ridges in the east of the South Atlantic are considered and compared with the coeval tectonomagmatic structures of West Africa. The conclusion is drawn that within-plate magmatism of the Atlantic is a waning process related to the ascent of several large plumes beneath West Africa beginning from the Triassic and subsequent lateral spreading of their material. It is shown that the heated plume material can spread beneath the lithosphere for a great distance, mixing in various proportions with asthenospheric matter, forming melts variable in geochemistry and isotopic characteristics. Cooling of the material takes many tens of years with retention of small magma sources episodically supplying melts to the surface. Localization of permeable zones in the lithosphere, along which the melts ascend, is determined by global stress fields responsible for the formation of long-lived linear tectonic elements on continents, inherited by young oceanic tectonic lines.  相似文献
