In spite of the abundance of definitions of central massifs, there is no integration of data Khain and Sheynmann (1960) define the central massifs as a residual province of older cycles within a progressive folding system. They note such provinces tend to be remodeled by the younger movements, yet retain their basic “setup” while exerting influence on the surrounding rocks. Central massifs may be classified into: 1) blocks of ancient Precambrian platforms, 2) blocks of Paleozoic or Mesozoic folded structures within younger geosynclinal system and 3) provinces of early consolidation which serve as “growth centers” within a geosynclinal system. Despite the differences in origin and age of central massifs, they have many common features. All are within geosynclinal belts and serve to divide them into segments; they are polygonal to diamond-shaped and are bounded by deep rifts with “flows” of ultrabasic to basic magma. As a rule, there are three periods of development of a massif with a single tectonic cycle: 1) continental regimen with denudation 2) minor marine trangression, block deformations, volcanism and granite intrusion and 3) transition to intermontane low with associated volcanic activity. Central massifs show,a mosaic of variously trending faults caused largely by vertical movements. Some students attribute the much thinner crust within the central massifs, based on geophysical studies, to a redistribution of deep-seated substance from the massif toward the geosyncline. — W. D.

The author has investigated paleogeographic and structural problems in the middle part of the Sahara desert since 1959. Detailed studies of thickness changes, of disconformities and unconformities and of structural events resulted in the definition of the different tectonical eras and their individual paleogeographic elements. The middle part of North Africa is characterized by three major periods of structural development:
  1. Folding and consolidation in Precambrian time.
  2. Formation of NW to NNW striking horsts during Cambrian time, which became the core of uplifts (separated by troughs) in Silurian and Devonian time. This structural relief of the early Paleozoic era possibly is the result of regional stretch in NE-SW direction.
  3. Formation of uplifts and troughs striking NE during late Paleozoic and Mesozoic time. Blockfaulting occurred along the edge of some uplifts during Jurassic time or at the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition. These movements were the result of regional compression from SE toward NW. The formation of this large scale undulation of the earth's crust coincides with the separation of the Sahara platform from the so-called Tethys (geosynclinal area in NW Africa, the Mediterranean and parts of Asia). This separation most probably began in Northwest Africa during late Carboniferous or early Permian time, it reached Northeastern Libya in Jurassic time. The Sirte grabens were formed as the result of east-west shearing movements, during Upper Cretaceous. Finally, in late Tertiary to Pleistocene time, volcanic activity formed large basalt plateaus. Volcanism occurs mainly along well defined old structural elements.
The results of this analysis were used to interpret structural aspects of larger parts of Africa. The structural relief of the early Paleozoic Era seems to extend far southeast into areas of the old African shield indicating that there is no principal structural difference between the shield and the Sahara platform. The orientation of the late Paleozoic to Mesozoic large scale undulation indicates that the reason for the SE-NW compression is the rotation tendency of Africa which began in late Carboniferous time and culminated during the Tertiary, when Africa was separated from Asia along the Red Sea graben. At approximately the same time, the Atlas area of Northwest Africa was folded.  相似文献

Geophysical and deep-drilling data disclose the block nature of the faulting in both folded and platform provinces of the crust. System and morphology of deep-seated structures embraces two types of major elements: large angular crustal blocks bordered by intense crush zones on one or more sides,and narrow elongated graben rifts. On platforms, the sedimentary cover conceals the true identity of the deep-seated structures which reveal themselves as gentle flexures but seldom by thickening or thinning of the beds as a whole. Deep rifts of the Russian platforms (Russian, Scythian-Turanian, West Siberian, and East Siberian) are interpreted as parts of a planetary system of rifts. Associated with these major features are sub-systems of more localized faults and fold belts. The deep Russian rifts and structures of the platforms are analyzed by depth to basement measurements which collectively show the enormous amount of absolute crustal subsidence even on relatively elevated platforms. Combinations of platform and geosynclinal tectonic provinces are discussed with some interesting variations on the general pattern of geosynclinal evolution. - -B. N. Cooper.  相似文献

Connections between magmatism and tectonics show plainly only in large structures, such as activated cratons (basitic magmatism) or domed blocks (characteristic assortment of moderately acidic volcano-plutonic formations), as shown by analysis of relationships between principal types of structures and the character of magmatism. Eugeosynclines behave like activated cratons, during downwarping of the geosynclinal “bathtub,” when conditions in geosynclinal uplifts resemble those in the domed blocks. The peculiarly geosynclinal magmatic formations develop only during the closure stage, under tangential compressions and linear folding. It was also found that with few exceptions the monotype magmatic formations may enter combinations with crustal structures of different types. This is explainable by the fact that magmatic formations are always epigenetic with respect to the sedimentary ones, whereas the connection between magmatism and tectonics of the crust is merely paragenetic. The moments of activation of magmatic processes are determined primarily by processes in and evolution of the substance in the upper mantle. Even so, expressions of magmatism are modified somewhat by composition and structure of the crust. — Author.  相似文献

A surface interpreted as the tops of the “granitic layer” is recognizable along the entire traverse. The zone-to-zone (tectonic) transitions have both structural and topographic expressions. Salt beds and presumably Carboniferous and Devonian horizons (one of each) are typical of the Caspian Depression. As a whole, the “Volga-Kura” geophysical-geological profile (fig. 2) shows a multi-layer crust, a wide variety of tectonic elements, complexities of structural boundaries, instabilities of the physical parameters, zones of disturbances interpretable tentatively as vertical partitions within the crust. – V.P.

A considerable portion of the territory of Afghanistan, having structures of the Mediterranean folded belt, has been subjected to a general tectonomagmatic activization over the Miocene through to the present, resulting in different (predominantly oscillating) tectonic movements, intrusive magmatism, terrestrial volcanism, mineral occurrences, and springs of carbonated and nitrous thermal water.Three types of young magmatism and volcanism products have been recognized in Afghanistan:
1. (1) Miocene alkaline granite intrusions, described as the Share—Arman Complex, resulted from the early orogenic stage of the Late Alpine geosynclinal troughs development and were restricted to transversal uplifts, in both the geosynclinal structures and on their extension, in the surrounding median masses. These transversal uplifts also play the role of mineralization-controlling structures.
2. (2) Late orogenic—Early Quaternary volcanics (the Dash-i-Nawar Complex) cropping out by the periphery of median masses and at the marginal uplifts of the Late Alpine folded area and also restricted to the transversal uplifts with the confined fault zones to them.
3. (3) Alkaline carbonatitic (the Khanneshin Complex) and trachybasaltic (the SarLogh Complex) Early—Middle Quaternary volcanics in the inner parts of the Central Afghanistan Median Mass and in the southeastern segment of the Turan Plateau.
Areas with products of Middle Quaternary volcanism are restricted to knot areas of the major subcrustal faults which are currently active.  相似文献

A detailed classification of regional metamorphic rock facies is presented along with the results of compiling a small scale Map of Metamorphic Facies of U.S.S.R. It is demonstrated that typical metamorphic complexes are associated with certain large structural elements of the crust. The aspects of metamorphism are used in identifying the areas of ancient platforms, two types of mobile belts, and two types of high pressure zones at the junction of major structures of different degrees of stability.—Author  相似文献

The major features of regional structure and development of the Turanian platform are the result of the interaction of basement block movements with surrounding mobile belts. Some specific features, typical of the geosynclinal stage, can also be observed in the intermediate and platform stages. These features include subdivision of region by linear and smooth brachyform structures and the more pronounced irregularity in development of the former compared with the latter.The position of the most mobile elements of the Turanian platform are observed to migrate. As the intensity of movements in South Tien Shan—Kysylkum Hercynian branch (in the basement) decreased and activity of the Alpine geosyncline and postplatform orogene increased, the most mobile zone moved from the central and southeastern parts of the platform towards the southern and eastern periphery.Changes in the rates of sedimentation and growth of the majority of regional structures of the Turanian platform have a tendency to occur in opposite senses. The time of general subsidence in the Cretaceous corresponds to a decrease of growth rate of many structures. General platform upheaval during the recent phase coincides with an increase of structural growth. In peripheral and central aulocogen parts of the platform, stabilized or activated during the Jurassic, similar variations of sedimentation and growth rates are observed.The minor mobility of the biggest uplifts in comparison with the downwarps (except for the recent phase) indicates the predominance of continuous, general extension of the Turanian platform with an increase in the role of compression in Oligocene—Quaternary time.An almost equal number of regional structures of the Turanian platform occur with respectively conformable and unconformable relationship between the tectonics of the basin floor and that of the Moho. Beneath the structures developed in the southwestern mobile part of the platform deep crustal tectonics is a result of a long period of deformation during platform and intermediate stages. In the stable northeastern part of the platform crustal deformation during the platform stage was insignificant. The crustal tectonics here is probably a relic of Paleozoic pre-platform development.  相似文献

东海地区壳体构造演化及其盆地形成机制探讨   总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2  
本文引用最近的地震、钻探、海底拖网采样及其它地质资料,通过综合研究与分析,证实东海地区的壳体属薄化陆壳型壳体,其构造演化经历了地槽阶段(Pt-D_2)、地台阶段(D_3-T_2)和地连阶段(T_3-Q)。其中,前两个阶段与东亚壳体东南地区的构造演化基本一致,进入地洼阶段后逐步薄化。东海盆地的形成与“菲律宾海板块俯冲”无关,而与地幔蠕动流所产生的拖拽型拉张应力场和地洼造山带所具拉伸趋势而形成的伸展型拉张应力场有关。  相似文献

Results of regional geophysical work in the U.S.S.R. allow a measure of correlation between the known structural features of the crust and those of the geomagnetic field. The “normal” magnetic field used for identifying magnetic anomalies is obtained by graphic smoothing of isolines of total intensity T. Detailed analysis of data obtained in aeromagnetic and gravity surveys throughout the U. S. S. R. leads to the conclusion that the cause of the observed regional magnetic and gravity anomalies lies in the same associated geologic objects located at the same level - that of a magnetoactive interval of the crystalline envelope of the earth. The conclusions that can be drawn from existing data are: 1) the existence of “continental” anomalies of the geomagnetic field cannot be explained as an effect of the crust; 2) the basaltic layer does not affect the distribution of the geomagnetic field; 3) the anomalies in the basic (normal) geomagnetic field are caused by the presence of thermomagnetic geologic bodies in the granitic layer; accordingly, it is theoretically possible to determine the thickness of the continental layer from magnetometric data. A table showing correlative depths of the basaltic layer, its thickness, and anomalous magnetic field, as well as magnetic profiles is included.--C. E. Sears.  相似文献

The uplift is a positive structural unit of the crust. It is an important window for continental dynamics owing to its abundant structural phenomena, such as fault, fold, unconformity and denudation of strata. Meanwhile, it is the very place to store important minerals like oil, natural gas, coal and uranium. Giant and large-scale oil and gas fields in China, such as the Daqing Oilfield, Lunnan-Tahe Oilfield, Penglai 19-3 Oilfield, Puguang Gas Field and Jingbian Gas Field, are developed mainly on uplifts. Therefore, it is the main target both for oil and gas exploration and for geological study. The uplift can be either a basement uplift, or one developed only in the sedimentary cover. Extension, compression and wrench or their combined forces may give rise to uplifts. The development process of uplifting, such as formation, development, dwindling and destruction, can be taken as the uplifting cycle. The uplifts on the giant Precambrian cratons are large in scale with less extensive structural deformation. The uplifts on the medium- and small-sized cratons or neo-cratons are formed in various shapes with strong structural deformation and complicated geological structure. Owing to changes in the geodynamic environment, uplift experiences a multi-stage or multi-cycle development process. Its geological structure is characterized in superposition of multi-structural layers. Based on the basement properties, mechanical stratigraphy and development sequence, uplifts can be divided into three basic types ? the succession, superposition and destruction ones. The succession type is subdivided into the maintaining type and the lasting type. The superposition type can be subdivided into the composite anticlinal type, the buried-hill draped type, the faulted uplift type and the migration type according to the different scales and superimposed styles of uplifts in different cycles. The destruction type is subdivided into the tilting type and the negative inverted type. The development history of uplifts and their controlling effects on sedimentation and fluids are quite different from one another, although the uplifts with different structural types store important minerals. Uplifts and their slopes are the main areas for oil and gas accumulation. They usually become the composite oil and gas accumulation zones (belts) with multiple productive formations and various types of oil and gas reservoirs.  相似文献

The effect of different crustal thickness on a regional gravity field may be differentiated, as a first approximation, into-three layers: 1) sedimentary, 2) granitic, and 3) basaltic. The study of complex “wave pictures” obtained in deep seismic sounding has lead to differentiation of the crust as continental, oceanic, and transitional, with a general relationship existing between the surface tectonics of the crust and its deeper structures. The crust is thickest in the mountain regions (40 km-80 km) as against an average for the platforms of about 25 km-35 km. It appears that there are two particularly conspicuous gravity and seismic discontinuities in the crust; one between the sedimentary mantle and the so-called crystalline layer and the other between the latter and the M surface. Tentative estimations of crustal thickness are as follows: the Russian Platform and the north of the western Siberian Platform; 30 km-34 km; the Black Sea about 24 km; the entire south, southeast and east of the U. S. S. R. are marked by greater depth with the Pamirs having a thickness of over 70 km; in the Caucasus the M surface lies below 45 km; in the Northern Kazakhstan the crust is 34 km-36 km thick; in the Altay thickness of around 50 km are indicated; in the Eurasian continent, Tibet has the thickest crust, the gravity minimum indicating about 85 km; in the Verkoyansk region the M surface is over 43 km. Large areas of the Arctic Ocean is occupied by the shelf with a thickness similar to that in the north of the country. This suggests that a considerable stretch of the ocean adjacent to the northern shores of the U. S. S. R. has a continental type. The crust thins rapidly to the north to about 10 km. Along the Pacific coast the M surface is about 33 km, the shelf zone is rather narrow including the Sea of Okhotsk. Toward the ocean and the Kuriles the crust thins rapidly to 10 km. -- C. E.

The phenomenon of “Stockwerk“-tectonics characterizes Eastern Crete. Autochthonous bedded limestone (“Plattenkalk”) is overlain by the allochthonous units of the “Phyllitic-Series”, the Tripolitza- und Pindos-Series. The “Phyllitic-Series” were recognized as a mélange. The mélange is due to gravity-sliding tectonics under an overburden pressure. Geological evolution and geophysical data across the section Santorin-Crete were interpreted. Instead of a mobile crust hypothesis of moving plates with subduction zones a fixed crust hypothesis of vertical uplift and corresponding subsidence is suggested. The nappe transport by forces of gravity is a secondary effect.  相似文献

本篇讨论大陆岩石圈拆沉、伸展与裂解作用过程。由于大陆岩石圈厚度大而且很不均匀,产生裂谷的机制比较复杂。大陆碰撞远程效应的触发,岩石圈拆沉,以及板块运动的不规则性和地球应力场方向转折,都可能产生岩石圈断裂和大陆裂谷。岩石圈拆沉为在重力作用下"去陆根"的作用过程,演化过程可分为大陆根拆离、地壳伸展和岩石圈地幔整体破裂三个阶段。大陆碰撞带、俯冲的大陆和大洋板块、克拉通区域岩石圈,都可能产生岩石圈拆沉。大陆岩石圈调查表明,拉张区可见地壳伸展、岩石圈拆离、软流圈上拱和热沉降;它们是大陆岩石圈伸展与裂解早期的主要表现。从初始拉张的盆岭省到成熟的张裂省,拆离后地壳伸展成复式地堑,下地壳幔源玄武岩浆侵位,断裂带贯通并切穿整个岩石圈,表明地壳伸展进入成熟阶段。中国东北松辽盆地和西欧北海盆地曾处于成熟的张裂省。岩石圈破裂为岩浆侵位提供了阻力很小的通道网。岩浆侵位作用伴随岩石圈破裂和热流体上涌,成熟的张裂省可发展成大陆裂谷。多数的大陆裂谷带并没有发展成威尔逊裂谷带和洋中脊,普通的大陆裂谷要演化为威尔逊裂谷带,必须有来自软流圈的长期和持续的热流和玄武质岩浆的供应。威尔逊裂谷带岩石圈地幔和软流圈为地震低速带,其根源可能与来自地幔底部的地幔热羽流有关。  相似文献
