The study area encompasses the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI) and the adjoining deep water areas of Bay of Bengal. The region has evolved through multiple phases of tectonic activity and fed by abundant supply of sediments brought by prominent river systems of the Indian shield. Detailed analysis of total field magnetic and satellite-derived gravity data along with multi channel seismic reflection sections is carried out to decipher major tectonic features, basement structure, and the results have been interpreted in terms of basin configuration and play types for different deep water basins along the ECMI. Interpretation of various image enhanced gravity and magnetic anomaly maps suggest that in general, the ENE–WSW trending faults dominate the structural configuration at the margin. These maps also exhibit a clear density transition from the region of attenuated continental crust/proto oceanic crust to oceanic crust based on which the Continent Ocean Boundary (COB) has been demarcated along the margin. Basement depths estimated from magnetic data indicate that the values range from 1 to 12 km below sea level and deepen towards the Bengal Fan in the north and reveal horst–graben features related to rifting. A comparison of basement depths derived from seismic data indicates that in general, the basement trends and depths are comparable in Cauvery and Krishna–Godavari basins, whereas, in the Mahanadi basin, basement structure over the 85°E ridge is clearly revealed in seismic data. Further, eight multichannel seismic sections across different basins of the margin presented here reveal fault pattern, rift geometries and depositional trends related to canyon fills and channel–levee systems and provide a basic framework for future petroleum in this under explored frontier. 相似文献

Interpretation of seismic data from the Lufeng Sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB) in the northern part of South China Sea shows that different intersection patterns developed in the cover units above basement normal faults. A series of analogue models are used to investigate the intersection patterns and deformation in the sedimentary cover sequences above a basement horst bounded by two non-parallel faults. Modelling results show that during their upward propagation, the basement faults may intersect within the cover sequences and form a graben above the basement horst. Length and width of the graben increase with cover thickness. The strike and dip intersection points are controlled directly by the thickness of the cover sequences, dip and strike of the basement faults, and width of the basement horst. The intersection point migrates along the axis of the graben toward the wide end of the basement horst, when the cover sequence thickens. In contrast, it migrates toward the narrow end of the basement horst, where both fault dip and angle of strike difference increase. The intersection point moves upward with increasing width of the basement horst crest. Model profiles also indicate that in the presence of a ductile layer between the cover and basement such intersection patterns do not form. Interpretation of seismic data and model results show that the intersection pattern developed in the Lufeng Sag is a result of propagation of basement faults into cover units during different extension stages of the basin. Results of this study can be applied to many other sedimentary basins where such fault intersection patterns are likely to form when non-parallel conjugate basement faults are active during sedimentation. 相似文献

The nature and origin of the subsurface 85°E Ridge in the Bay of Bengal has remained enigmatic till date despite several theories proposed by earlier researchers. We reinterpreted the recently acquired high quality multichannel seismic reflection data over the northern segment of the ridge that traverses through the Mahanadi offshore, Eastern Continental Margin of India and mapped the ridge boundary and its northward continuity. The ridge is characterized by complex topography, multilayer composition, intrusive bodies and discrete nature of underlying crust. The ridge is associated with large amplitude negative magnetic and gravity anomalies. The negative gravity response across the ridge is probably due to emplacement of relatively low density material as well as ∼2–3 km flexure of the Moho. The observed broad shelf margin basin gravity anomaly in the northern Mahanadi offshore is due to the amalgamation of the 85°E Ridge material with that of continental and oceanic crust. The negative magnetic anomaly signature over the ridge indicates its evolution in the southern hemisphere when the Earth’s magnetic field was normally polarized. The presence of ∼5 s TWT thick sediments over the acoustic basement west of the ridge indicates that the underlying crust is relatively old, Early Cretaceous age.The present study indicates that the probable palaeo-location of Elan Bank is not between the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshores, but north of Mahanadi. Further, the study suggests that the northern segment of the 85°E Ridge may have emplaced along a pseudo fault during the Mid Cretaceous due to Kerguelen mantle plume activity. The shallow basement east of the ridge may have formed due to the later movement of the microcontinents Elan Bank and Southern Kerguelen Plateau along with the Antarctica plate. 相似文献

The concept of plate tectonics implies that the normal sea floor spreading stage is preceded by a sequence of events associated with the break-up of continental crust. Thus, evidence of the early development of “non-failed” rifts is to be found at passive continental margins. Of special interest is the question of the extent of the continental crust and the structural and compositional changes associated with the change in crustal type. In addressing these topics, we have focused attention on the Norwegian margin between the Jan Mayen and Senja fracture zones (66°–70°N) in an attempt to understand its history of rifting and early sea floor spreading. p ]The southern part of this rifted margin is characterized by a wide shelf and the marginal Vøring Plateau interrupts a gentle slope at a level of about 1500 m. However, the margin becomes progressively narrower towards the north and a typical narrow shelf and steep slope emerge off the Lofo—tenVesterålen Islands (Fig. 1). In a reconstructed pre-opening configuration (Talwani and Eldholm, 1977) the narrowest part of the juxtaposed EastGreenland margin is found in the south and a wide shelf and slope corresponds to the Lofoten-Vesterålen margin.The most prominent structural element is a buried basement high underneath the Vøring Plateau. The high is bounded landward by the Vøring Plateau Escarpment, a major structural boundary which defines typical changes in the geophysical parameters. These are: (1) a sudden increase of depth to acoustic basement; (2) changes in the velocity-depth function; (3) a gravity gradient; and (4) a magnetic edge anomaly separating sea-floor spreading type anomalies from a quiet zone on the landward side (Talwani and Eldholm, 1972). These observations were interpreted in terms of a sharp ocea—ncontinent crustal transition along the escarpment with sea-floor spreading commencing between anomaly 24 and 25 time (56–58 m.y. B.P.). Alternatively, the concept of ancient oceanic crust landward of this escarpment and the possible existence of continental crust under the outer basement high have been argued and we refer to Eldholm et al. (1979) for a detailed discussion. 相似文献

Several E-W profiles of Bouguer anomalies across the Precambrian basement were inverted by applying a linearized inversion procedure in the spectral domain and using a simplified two-layer model with a crust-upper mantle interface of constant density contrast. From these inverted profiles, a contour map of Moho topography has been constructed which covers the area of exposed Precambrian basement in the eastern and central parts of the island. Such imaging of the Moho depth in particular exhibits a N20°E-trending zone of substantially thinned crust along the axis of the island. This parallels the east coast margin which resulted from the northward motion of India relative to Madagascar in the Upper Cretaceous. From combined analysis of geological, tectonic and metamorphic observations, this prominent crustal feature in the Precambrian basement of Madagascar is interpreted as the relic of continental lithospheric extension and thinning possibly related to Panafrican collapse tectonics on the eastern edge of the Mozambique belt. This extensional feature would have been reactivated only in part during the rifting and dislocation stages of the Madagascar and India continental blocks as evidenced by an axis of Cretaceous volcanism emphasized by the Ankaratra and Itasy massifs. Final separation nevertheless occurred further east, at the site of the east coast margin. 相似文献

Analysis of materials on the geological structure and tectonics of the White Sea depression area suggests that this depression existed in the Middle Pleistocene and was connected with the World Ocean. It is still impossible to determine the exact time of its formation due to an insufficient knowledge of the depression loose cover. However it is most likely that the depression was formed in the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene, when after the regressive development of the continental margin the shelf subsidence began. Probably in the Holocene the divergent regime was replaced by the transform regime. This period saw the subsidence of the Kandalaksha graben to about 150 m and the formation of the Kolvitsa graben. The crystalline rocks surrounding Kandalaksha bay were involved in the subsidence which is reflected in the isobase curve of the glacioisostatic uplift of the area. The combined impact of the tectonic component and the glacioisostatic uplift led to a rise of tensions which discharge caused a high seismic activity of the Kandalaksha graben and its environs. 相似文献

In the Beishan rift in the eastern Tianshan orogen, Xinjiang Province, a N-S-trending dyke swarm is present in the Pobei area. The swarm cuts through the 270–290 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions associated with Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization. These mafic-ultramafic intrusions are typically found along E-W major faults in the Tianshan orogenic belts. We report SHRIMP U-Pb dating of zircons from a dyke of alkaline composition, which yielded a mean age of 252±9 Ma. Alkaline dykes of the same age are found in the Altay region of Siberia. This age is younger than the 270–290 Ma intraplate magmatic events that produced the mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the region, but in general agreement with the 250–260 Ma Permian plume event that gave rise to the Siberian traps and the Emeishan flood basalts in SW China. We suggest that there is a link between the Emeishan event and the dyke swarm in the Beishan rift and that the intraplate magmatism at 270–290 Ma reflects an early stage of mantle plume activity. The N-S trending dyke swarm in the Beishan rift may represent a later stage in the evolution of mantle plume activity in the NW and SW of China. We also speculate that in Beishan rift and possibly elsewhere in the Tianshan region, the dykes fed basaltic volcanism, whose products have since been eroded due to the strong uplift of the Tianshan orogen as a result of the India-Eurasia collision in the Cenozoic. 相似文献

The Majunga Basin is located in the northwestern part of Madagascar with a N45–60°E trending axis. It was filled by almost exclusively continental Karoo Supergroup sediments, which are Permian to Early Jurassic in age, and by younger sequences, mainly marine, that were deposited from the Middle Jurassic to the present.The Karoo Basin geometry is deduced from the analysis of seismic sections. A central northeast trending horst is flanked by two sub-basins. Deposition of the Karoo sequences was controlled by these northeast trending faults. On the contrary, the Middle Jurassic to present sequences witness only a slight tilting of the basement towards the northwest.The development of the Majunga Basin includes, therefore, two successive stages. In the synrift episode, from Permian to Early Jurassic times, the sedimentation was syntectonic, controlled by synsedimentary faulting and the creation of a horst and graben extensive pattern. The postrift episode started during the Middle Jurassic.These two stages of the Majunga Basin development correspond to the geodynamic evolution recorded elsewhere in this part of the Gondwana. 相似文献

Part of East Antarctica's shield collided with Greater India during assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent. The pre-Rodinia continental margin of the Antarctic landmass is represented by Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the Lambert Complex, which are best exposed in the North Mawson Escarpment area of Antarctica's Prince Charles Mountains. Having investigated the structure of this escarpment, we conclude that rocks of the Lambert Complex were stacked by oblique northward overthrusting motions while deforming pervasively in the infrastructure zone of a convergent orogen, i.e. when this continental fragment of pre-Rodinia Antarctica collided with India around 960–905 m.y. ago. This resulted in exhumation to shallower, but still deep, crustal levels, so that the deformation was accompanied by Barrovian-type metamorphism that evolved to high-temperature, low-pressure conditions. The metamorphism outlasted most of the ductile deformation with temperatures reaching 750 °C, though potentially greater, under pressure conditions of about 5 kbar. In this paper we outline the structures and, from a plate tectonics viewpoint, consider their likely association with Rodinian and Gondwanan orogens in East Antarctica, i.e. the Rayner and Prydz Belts. 相似文献

Magnetic anomalies of offshore Krishna-Godavari basin,eastern continental margin of India 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
K. V. Swamy I. V. Radhakrishna Murthy K. S. Krishna K. S. R. Murthy A. S. Subrahmanyam M. M. Malleswara Rao 《Journal of Earth System Science》2009,118(4):405-412
The marine magnetic data acquired from offshore Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin, eastern continental margin of India (ECMI),
brought out a prominent NE-SW trending feature, which could be explained by a buried structural high formed by volcanic activity.
The magnetic anomaly feature is also associated with a distinct negative gravity anomaly similar to the one associated with
85°E Ridge. The gravity low could be attributed to a flexure at the Moho boundary, which could in turn be filled with the
volcanic material. Inversion of the magnetic and gravity anomalies was also carried out to establish the similarity of anomalies
of the two geological features (structural high on the margin and the 85°E Ridge) and their interpretations. In both cases,
the magnetic anomalies were caused dominantly by the magnetization contrast between the volcanic material and the surrounding
oceanic crust, whereas the low gravity anomalies are by the flexures of the order of 3–4 km at Moho boundary beneath them.
The analysis suggests that both structural high present in offshore Krishna-Godavari basin and the 85°E Ridge have been emplaced
on relatively older oceanic crust by a common volcanic process, but at discrete times, and that several of the gravity lows
in the Bay of Bengal can be attributed to flexures on the Moho, each created due to the load of volcanic material. 相似文献

We present here new palaeomagnetic, isotopic age and geochemical data from Archean and Early Palaeoproterozoic rocks in the eastern Fennoscandian Shield. We have studied NE–SW trending gabbronorite dyke sets and their host Archean basement rocks in the Vodlozero block near the 2449 Ma Burakovka layered intrusion in southern Russian Karelia. Both dyke sets are genetically related to the Burakovka intrusion. The other, ca. 25 km long Avdeev dyke, locating a few kilometers south from the Burakovka intrusion, yields a stable single component remanence direction that is in agreement with the direction previously obtained from the Burakovka intrusion. Another NE–SW trending dyke, 0.8 m wide Shalskiy diabase dyke, about 30 km south of the Burakovka intrusion yields a similar remanence direction as the Avdeev dyke. The overall mean remanence direction has a palaeopole at Plat = −12.3°N, Plong = 243.5°E (A95 = 15.4°, 4 sites, 28 samples). The thin Shalskiy diabase dyke transects a similarly NE–SW trending 500 m wide coarse grained gabbronorite dyke which has now been dated by Sm–Nd method as 2608 ± 56 Ma. Geochemically all the dykes are quite similar showing slight calc-alkaline affinity and low TiO2 and high SiO2 with moderate MgO and low Cr and Ni. Furthermore, the dykes are geochemically identical to the 2.45 Ga dyke swarm in the northern Karelian Province.The remanence direction of the thin Shalskiy diabase dyke differs significantly from the high temperature and high coercivity remanence component of the unbaked Archean gabbronorite dyke which yields a palaeopole at Plat = 22.7°N, Plong = 222.1°E (dp = 8.2°, dm = 16.2°, five samples). On the basis of different remanence directions of the diabase dyke and the unbaked Archean gabbronorite dyke, the baked contact test for the diabase dyke is positive. In addition to the high temperature and high coercivity component of the baked and unbaked Archean gabbronorite dyke, in low temperatures and coercivities we isolated a similar component as in the diabase dyke. A comparable remanence component was also obtained from the Archean basement at ca. 8 km from the dykes. We propose that in the studied area, the Archean basement and the Archaean dyke were partly remagnetized due to emplacement and subsequent uplift and cooling of the large Burakovka layered intrusion and related dykes at about 2.40 Ga ago.This interpretation lends support from a new 40Ar/39Ar dating of hornblende from another area, Lake Paajarvi area, in northern Karelia. There, a negative baked contact test was previously obtained for the remanence of the dated ca. 2.45 Ga dyke rocks related to the ca. 2.45 Ga Oulanka layered intrusion. The 40Ar/39Ar dating of the unbaked Archean basement which yields the same remanence component as the dykes, shows a plateau age of ca. 2.6 Ga, but in addition, it also shows resetting of the basement at ca. 2.4 Ga ago. The dating thus supports reactivation and partial remagnetization of the Archean basement at ca. 2.4 Ga ago.Our new palaeomagnetic results from the Burakovka dykes and the new 40Ar/39Ar dating from the Lake Paajarvi area give support to our previous interpretation that at Lake Paajarvi area the remanence component suggested to be 2.4 Ga, despite to negative baked contact test, is indeed of this age. Therefore, it is implied that the results can be used for continental reconstructions. 相似文献

The bathymetry and abrupt changes in earthquake seismicity around the eastern end of the Java Trench suggest it is now blocked south–east of Sumba by the Australian, Jurassic-rifted, continental margin forming the largely submarine Roti–Savu Ridge. Plate reconstructions have demonstrated that from at least 45 Ma the Java Trench continued far to the east of Sumba. From about 12 Ma the eastern part of the Java Trench (called Banda Trench) continued as the active plate boundary, located between what was to become Timor Island, then part of the Australian proximal continental slope, and the Banda Volcanic Arc. This Banda Trench began to be obliterated by continental margin-arc collision between about 3.5 and 2 Ma.The present position of the defunct Banda Trench can be located by use of plate reconstructions, earthquake seismology, deep reflection seismology, DSDP 262 results and geological mapping as being buried under the para-autochthon below the foothills of southern Timor. Locating the former trench guides the location of the apparently missing large southern part of the Banda forearc that was carried over the Australian continental margin during the final stage of the period of subduction of that continental margin that lasted from about 12 Ma to about 3.5 Ma.Tectonic collision is defined and distinguished from subduction and rollback. Collision in the southern part of the Banda Arc was initiated when the overriding forearc basement of the upper plate reached the proximal part of the Australian continental slope of the lower plate, and subduction stopped. Collision is characterised by fold and thrust deformation associated with the development of structurally high decollements. This collision deformed the basement and cover of the forearc accretionary prism of the upper plate with part of the unsubducted Australian cover rock sequences from the lower plate. Together with parts of the forearc basement they now form the exposed Banda orogen. The conversion of the northern flank of the Timor Trough from being the distal part of the Banda forearc accretionary prism, carried over the Australian continental margin, into a foreland basin was initiated by the cessation of subduction and simultaneous onset of collisional tectonics.This reinterpretation of the locked eastern end of the Java Trench proposes that, from its termination south of Sumba to at least as far east as Timor, and probably far beyond, the Java-Banda Trench and forearc overrode the subducting Australian proximal continental slope, locally to within 60 km of the shelf break. Part of the proximal forearc's accretionary prism together with part of the proximal continental slope cover sequence were detached and thrust northwards over the Java-Banda Trench and forearc by up to 80 km along the southwards dipping Savu Thrust and Wetar Suture. These reinterpretations explain the present absence of any discernible subduction ocean trench in the southern Banda Arc and the narrowness of the forearc, reduced to 30 km at Atauro, north of East Timor. 相似文献
