I review recent investigations on the electrical conductivity of the lithosphere and asthenosphere in Europe. The principal
method in the reviewed studies is the magnetotelluric method, but in many cases other electromagnetic methods (e.g., magnetovariational
profilings and geomagnetic depth soundings) have provided additional information on subsurface conductivity or have been the
primary method. The review shows that the magnetotelluric method has been used, and is being used, in all kinds of environments
and for many different processes shaping the crust and lithosphere. The crust is very heterogeneous, both with respect to
the scale of conductive/resistive features and interpretations: research targets vary from Archaean palaeostructures to ongoing
processes. The European database of the depth to the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) in Europe is updated, and a
new map showing lateral variations of the depth of LAB is provided. The compilation shows that (1) the Phanerozoic European
lithosphere, with considerable variations (45–150 km), is much thinner than the Precambrian European lithosphere, (2) the
Trans-European Suture Zone is a major electrical border in Europe separating electrically (as well as geophysically and geologically
in general) two quite different settings, (3) the thinnest lithosphere is found under the extensional Pannonian Basin (45–90 km),
(4) in most of the East European Craton there are no indications of a high conductivity zone in upper mantle. In many regions
there is no information at all on upper mantle conductivity, which calls for pan-European projects to operate arrays of simultaneously
recording instruments with long recording periods (2–8 months) and dense spatial sampling (20–50 km). 相似文献

The surface wave tomography from ambient seismic noise recorded at stations in Western Europe (WE) and on the East European Platform (EEP) revealed the structure of the crust and upper mantle in the transitional zone from the Precambrian platform to the younger geological units in Western Europe. The Tornquist-Teisseyre Line separating these structures is clearly traced as a transition zone from the high velocities beneath EEP to the low velocities beneath WE in the crust and upper mantle, which extends to a depth of 150?C170 km. Below 200 km the relationship between the velocities beneath EEP and WE becomes the opposite. A similar relationship between the velocities in the upper mantle down to a depth of 300 km is observed on the southern boundary, where EEP borders on the northern segment of the Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt. 相似文献

The geological-geophysical and petrological-geochemical studies of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle are combined to estimate the state of the lithosphere at the junction zone of Tarim and Tien Shan. The laboratory measurements of electric conductivity in the rocks sampled from the upper mantle and lower crust considered against the geoelectrical and thermal models revealed lherzolite, granulite, and eclogite massifs in the deep section of the Tarim and Tien Shan junction zone. The experimental results suggest that the crustal thickness in the southern Tien Shan attained 35–40 km 70 Ma ago. 相似文献

The paper presents 2D density and magnetic models of the crust and upper mantle along the DSS line profile of the CELEBRATION
2000 project that crosses the most important geological units in Central Europe. These are the Alps-Carpathians-Pannonian
(ALCAPA) region, the SE part of the Paleozoic Platform (PLZ), the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ) and a fragment of the
SW portion of the East European Craton (EEC). The density and magnetic models were constructed on the basis of a 2D model
of P-wave velocity converted into density model, geological data as well as geothermal data and the results of integrated geophysical
modelling for the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. 相似文献

This part of the paper addresses the geotectonic interpretation of the velocity model obtained from the results of seismic studies under the DOBRE-4 project in Ukraine. The velocity field does not show distinct lateral changes from the Precambrian platform towards the younger tectonic structures in the southwest. Hence, based on the seismic data alone, it is not possible to recognize the tectonic units that are known on the surface. The Moho has an undulating pattern over an interval with a length of ~150 km. The amplitude of the undulations reaches 8 to 17 km. The similar wavelike behavior, although on a shorter spatial scale and lower amplitude, is also typical of the upper crust and upper mantle. The presence of several separate horizons in the folded crust revealed by the velocity model is consistent with the presence of the folded systems which have different extensions on the different depth levels in the Earth’s crust. This situation is believed to be typical of folding on the lithospheric scale and to reflect the rheological stratification of the crust. The DOBRE-4 velocity section of the crust and adjacent part of the mantle promotes a clearer view of the geodynamical model describing the formation of the southwestern part of East European Platform in the Early Precambrian from the plate’s tectonic standpoint. 相似文献

The composition of the upper mantle is of great significance to our understanding of plate tectonics and global evolution. Information about the physical properties of the Earth at upper mantle depths, including lateral variations in electrical conductivity, can be deduced from measurements of the electric and magnetic fields at the Earth's surface. Electromagnetic methods appear to give poorer resolution than do some other methods, for example seismics, but as they are sensitive to quite different properties of a medium they provide a different and complementary class of information.The basic theory of electromagnetic sounding methods is briefly reviewed below, and evidence regarding lateral conductivity inhomogeneities in the Earth's upper mantle is examined. While lateral electrical conductivity inhomogeneities appear to be the rule rather than the exception, the interpretation of electromagnetic data still presents difficulties and the results from many regions are not as yet unambiguous. Where the data are of sufficient resolution, a rapid increase in electrical conductivity can usually be identified within the upper mantle. The depth to this highly conductive zone is different in different tectonic environments, but is broadly consistent between analogous but widely separated tectonic environments. A comparatively shallow conducting region is found beneath the ocean lithosphere. The depth of this region is dependent on lithospheric age. Many of the more shallow conducting regions in both continental and oceanic environments are associated with high heat flow values and seismic low velocity zones. These highly conducting regions may be zones of partial melt. 相似文献

The long-range seismic profile Quartz, measured by the GEON Center (Ministry of Geology of the USSR), crosses a few large geostructures: the East European platform, Timan-Pechora plate, Northern Urals, West Siberian plate (WSP), and Altai. Observations of nuclear and chemical explosions were conducted on the profile. Joint processing of records from sources of both types provided detailed structures of the crust and upper mantle. They have confirmed the known patterns in the structure of these shells of the Earth and revealed new ones. Mountain roots are observed beneath the Urals and Altai, and areas of a higher heat flow are matched by lower velocity zones in the upper mantle. Moreover, it is shown that the Timan-Pechora plate is characterized by a two-layer crust untypical of other young plates of central Eurasia and the upper mantle has the same velocities beneath the ancient East European platform and the young Altai orogen. It is also shown that the vast region including the Timan-Pechora plate, Urals, and WSP is bounded on both sides by deep faults in the upper mantle dipping toward the center of Western Siberia. A few nearly continuous reflectors traceable in the upper mantle are represented by thin-layered heterogeneous beds. The largest horizontal heterogeneity is observed in the upper 100-km layer, often underlain by a lower velocity zone. The asthenosphere, as a layer of lower seismic velocities at the depth of a possible solidus (200–250 km), has not been revealed. The latter is evidently a feature specific to inner parts of the Eurasian continent; in marginal regions, e.g., in Western Europe, the asthenospheric layer is identified almost ubiquitously. 相似文献

Crustal and lithospheric thicknesses of the southeastern Mediterranean Basin region were determined using 3D Bouguer and elevation data analysis. The model is based on the assumption of local isostatic equilibrium. The calculated regional and residual Bouguer anomaly maps were employed for highlighting both deep and shallow structures. Generally, the regional field in the area under study is considered to be mainly influenced by the density contrast between the crust and upper mantle. Use of the gravity and topographic data with earthquake focal depths has improved both the geometry and the density distribution in the 3-D calculated profiles. The oceanic-continental boundary, the basement relief, Moho depth and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary maps were estimated. The results point to the occurrence of thick continental crust areas with a thickness of approximately 32 km in northern Egypt. Below the coastal regions, the thickness of crust decreases abruptly (transition zone). An inverse correlation between sediment and crustal thicknesses shows up from the study. Furthermore, our density model reveals the existence of a continental crustal zone below the Eratosthenes Seamount block. Nevertheless, the crustal type beneath the Levantine basin is typically oceanic; this is covered by sedimentary sequences more than 14 km thick. The modeled Moho map shows a depth of 28–30 km below Cyprus and a depth of 26–28 km beneath the south Florence Rise in the northern west. However, the Moho lies at a constant shallow depth of 22–24 km below the Levantine Basin, which indicates thinning of the crust beneath this region. The Moho map reveals also a maximum depth of about 33–35 km beneath both the northern Egypt and northern Sinai, both of which are of the continental crust. The resulting mantle density anomalies suggest important variations of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) topography, indicating prominent lithospheric mantle thinning beneath south Cyprus (LAB ~90 km depth), followed by thickening beneath the Eratosthenes seamount, Florence Rise, Levantine Basin and reaching to maximum thickness below Cyprian Arc (LAB ~115–120 km depth), and further followed by thinning in the north African margin plate and north Sinai subplate (LAB ~90–95 km depth). According to our density model profiles, we find that almost all earthquakes in the study area occurred along the western and central segments of the Cyprian arc while they almost disappear along the eastern segment. The active subduction zone in the Cyprian Arc is associated with large negative anomalies due to its low velocity upper mantle zone, which might be an indication of a serpentinized mantle. This means that collision between Cyprus and the Eratosthenes Seamount block is marked by seismic activity. Additionally, this block is in the process of dynamically subsiding, breaking-up and being underthrusted beneath Cyprus to the north and thrusted onto the Levantine Basin to the south. 相似文献

The results of seismic measurements along the deep seismic sounding profile VII and terrestrial heat flow measurements used for construction of heat generation models for the crust in the Paleozoic Platform region, the Sudetic Mountains (Variscan Internides) and the European Precambrian Platform show considerable differences in mantle heat flow and temperatures. At the base of the crust variations from 440–510°C in the models of Precambrian Platform to 700–820°C for the Paleozoic Platform and the Variscan Internides (Sudets) are found. These differences are associated with considerable mantle heat flow variations.The calculated models show mantle heat flow of about 8.4–12.6 mW m–2 for the Precambrian Platform and 31 mW m–2 to 40.2 mW m–2 for Paleozoic orogenic areas. The heat flow contribution originating from crustal radioactivity is almost the same for the different tectonic units (from 33.5 mW m–2 to 37.6 mW m–2). Considerable physical differences in the lower crust and upper mantle between the Precambrian Platform and the adjacent areas, produced by lateral temperature variations, could be expected. On the basis of carbon ratio data it can be concluded that the Carboniferous paleogeothermal gradient was much lower in the Precambrian Platform area than in the Paleozoic Platform region. 相似文献

根据流动数字地震台网提供的三分量地震波形记录资料,应用转换函数及快速模拟退火算法对腾冲－临沧地区30个地震台站下的地壳横波速度结构进行了反演.反演结果说明,研究区壳幔边界清晰、莫霍界面附近速度跳跃明显,由此得出该区地壳厚度在40 km左右、并具有从南向北增厚趋势.一个普遍的现象是,在腾冲-宝山地块下地壳存在明显的低速带,低速带的厚度在10～20 km间.研究结果进一步表明各台站下方上地幔速度结构复杂.这些结果为探讨青藏高原东南缘下地壳的侧向黏性流动、碰撞板块边界处壳幔物质交换等均提供了重要的地球物理证据,为探讨印-藏汇聚过程中青藏高原东构造结岩石圈变形、高原隆升及其深部动力学有一定理论意义. 相似文献

郯庐断裂带是中国东部规模最大的构造活动带,有着复杂的形成演化历史,对中国东部的区域构造、岩浆活动、矿产资源的形成和分布以及现代地震活动都有重要控制作用.2010年在郯庐断裂带中南段的江苏宿迁市附近,采用深地震反射探测方法对郯庐断裂带及其两侧地块的岩石圈结构进行了解剖.结果表明,该区莫霍面和岩石圈底界均向西倾,其中,地壳厚度约为31~36km,岩石圈厚度约为75~86km,且岩石圈厚度在郯庐断裂带下方出现突变.郯庐断裂带在剖面上表现为由多条主干断裂组成的花状构造,其内部发育有断陷盆地和挤压褶皱,具有伸展、挤压和走滑并存的构造形迹,暗示郯庐断裂带的形成和演化经历了多期复杂的构造活动.这一断裂带错断了近地表沉积层,向下切割莫霍面和岩石圈地幔,属岩石圈尺度的深大断裂构造系统.软流圈高温高压热物质沿断裂带的上涌、岩浆底侵或热侵蚀作用造成岩石圈出现拉张伸展和岩石圈减薄,并可能使岩石圈组构及其物质成分发生改变.本项研究结果不但可进一步加深对郯庐断裂带深、浅部结构的认识,而且还可为分析研究华北克拉通东部的深部过程和浅部构造响应提供资料约束. 相似文献

A two dimensional velocity model of the upper mantle has been compiled from a long-range seismic profile crossing the West Siberian young plate and the old Siberian platform. It revealed considerable horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of the mantle. A sharp seismic boundary at a depth of 400 km outlines the high-velocity gradient transition zone, its base lying at a depth of 650 km. Several layers with different velocities, velocity gradients and wave attenuation are distinguished in the upper mantle. They likewise differ in their inner structure. For instance, the uppermost 50–70 km of the mantle are divided into blocks with velocities from 7.9–8.1 to 8.4–8.6 km s?1.Comparison of the travel-time curves for the Siberian long-range profile with those compiled from seismological data for Europe distinguished large-scale upper mantle inhomogeneities of the Eurasian continent and allowed for the correlation of tectonic features and geophysical fields. The velocity heterogeneity of the uppermost 50–100 km of the mantle correlates with the platform age and heat flow, i.e., the young plates of Western Europe and Western Siberia have slightly lower velocities and higher heat flows than the ancient East European and Siberian platforms. At greater depths (150–250 km) the upper mantle velocities increase from the ocean to the inner parts of the continent. The structure of the transition zone differs significantly beneath Western Europe and the other parts of Eurasia. The sharp boundary at a depth of 400 km, traced throughout the whole continent as the boundary reflecting intensive waves, transforms beneath Western Europe into a gradient zone. This transition zone feature correlates with positions of the North Atlantic-west Europe geoid and heat-flow anomalies. 相似文献

这篇文章给出了内蒙、甘肃、宁夏某些地区的大地电磁测深结果。这些结果显示出,在地震带内地壳和上地幔电导率分布的横向变化是很明显的,而在比较稳定的鄂尔多斯地台内电导卑分布的横向变化较小,地壳和上地幔的电导率结构比较简单。基于这些结果发现,上部地壳(10—15公里)低阻层在大震震中区较为发育,这可能与大震有关。我国西北地区已有的大地电磁测深结果显示出,莫霍面並不是一个清楚的电性分界面,而某些地区的地壳中部低阻层似乎与康拉界面相应,这就使得后者成为一个明显的电性分界面。 相似文献

松辽盆地作为东亚裂谷系的一部分,与华北克拉通一起经历了中生代岩石圈减薄的重大地质事件.对大陆岩石圈-软流圈状态和构造的整体认识,是研究大陆岩石圈减薄深部动力学过程的关键.在获得过松辽盆地的106个宽频和30个长周期大地电磁测深数据的基础上,完成测点数据二维偏离度、构造走向等计算与分析,进一步采用非线性共轭梯度算法,对TE和TM模式数据进行二维联合反演,获得了沿剖面的壳-幔电性结构,并依此构建了松辽盆地壳-幔结构模型.研究结果表明：（1）大兴安岭地区岩石圈厚度约为160 km,松辽盆地岩石圈厚度约为45 km,张广才岭岩石圈厚度在70~100 km之间,莫霍面与岩石圈底界面不呈镜像关系.软流圈整体表现为中、低阻异常,电阻率值在30 Ωm左右,其形态呈西倾约30°的蘑菇状异常,指示了软流圈物质上涌的形式,有别于软流圈垂直上涌的传统认识.（2）松辽盆地深部存在双层高导异常（电阻率小于5 Ωm）,上层为壳内高导层,呈"蛇"状分布,推断为岩浆底侵区,下层为幔内高导层,呈"哑铃"状,为软流圈上涌区.软流圈内存在两个"哑铃"状中、高阻异常,推断为拆沉的岩石圈地幔.具有冷的、高密度的下降物质流的堆积以及拆沉块体下插到两侧山岭是促使大兴安岭与张广才岭在中生代伸展环境中快速隆升重要原因;（3）松辽盆地经历了岩石圈减薄事件,与大兴安岭岩石圈厚度相比,松辽盆地岩石圈厚度减薄了近100 km,与东侧张广才岭相比减薄了70 km,而与中生代华北地台100 km的岩石圈厚度相比,减薄了近50 km,其经历了岩石圈伸展期、裂解期、拆沉期和增长期的动力学过程. 相似文献

横跨大兴安岭与海拉尔盆地和松辽盆地结合地带的大地电磁测深剖面揭示了盆山构造的深部电性结构.剖面西起海拉尔盆地东缘,向东延伸穿过大兴安岭中部,一直到达松辽盆地西缘.本文对剖面测点的二维偏离度、构造走向等进行了计算和分析,采用非线性共轭梯度(NLCG)二维反演方法对TM模式的数据进行了反演,获得了该剖面的地壳、上地幔电性结构模型,划分出三个典型构造单元:海拉尔盆地、大兴安岭和松辽盆地.研究结果表明,海拉尔盆地东缘和松辽盆地西缘浅部都呈低阻特征,但松辽盆地西缘深部电性结构比较复杂,而大兴安岭整体呈高阻特征.海拉尔盆地东缘可能属于兴安块体,松辽盆地西缘与大兴安岭接触关系复杂.海拉尔盆地东缘岩石圈厚度约为110km,大兴安岭岩石圈厚度约为110~150km.大兴安岭上地壳基本呈高阻特征,可能为多次叠置的岩浆岩,代表大兴安岭经历了多期次岩浆作用;中下地壳横向存在较大范围低阻体,可能反映了大兴安岭地壳内部非刚性的特点;残存在岩石圈地幔的高阻异常,说明其下地壳可能发生过拆沉作用.大兴安岭与松辽盆地结合带存在一个岩石圈尺度的西倾低阻带,向下延伸到岩石圈底部,可能是早期松嫩地块向兴安地块俯冲并以软碰撞形式拼合的构造遗迹. 相似文献

Arrival times of P and S waves from local earthquakes in the Kamchatka area of the Kurile-Kamchatka Island Arc are used for calculating a spatial model of the elastic wave velocity distribution to a depth of 200 km. The lithosphere is shown to be strongly stratified in its velocity properties and laterally heterogeneous within the mantle wedge and seismic focal zone. A lower velocity layer (an asthenospheric wedge) is identified at depths of 70–130 km beneath the Eastern Kamchatka volcanic belt. The morphology of the Moho interface and the velocity properties of the crust are studied. The main tectonic structures of the region are shown to be closely interrelated with deep velocity heterogeneities. Regular patterns in the statistics of the earthquakes are analyzed in relation to variations in the elastic wave velocities in the focal layer. A mechanism of lithospheric block displacements along weakened zones of the lower crust and upper mantle is proposed. 相似文献

本文利用瑞利波群速度频散资料和层析成像方法,研究了中国西部及邻近区域(20°N—55°N,65°E—110°E)的岩石圈S波速度结构.结果表明这一地区存在三个以低速地壳/上地幔为特征的构造活动区域:西蒙古高原—贝加尔地区,青藏高原,印支地区.西蒙古高原岩石圈厚度约为80 km,上地幔低速层向下延伸至300 km深度,说明存在源自地幔深部的热流活动.缅甸弧后的上地幔低速层下至200 km深度,显然与印度板块向东俯冲引起俯冲板片上方的热/化学活动有关.青藏高原地壳厚达70 km,边缘地区厚度也在50 km以上并且具有很大的水平变化梯度,与高原平顶陡边的地形特征一致.中下地壳的平均S波速度明显低于正常大陆地壳,在中地壳20~40 km深度范围广泛存在速度逆转的低速层,这一低速层的展布范围与高原的范围相符.这些特征说明青藏高原中下地壳的变形是在印度板块的北向挤压下发生塑性增厚和侧向流动.地幔的速度结构呈现与地壳显著不同的特点.在高原主体和川滇西部地区上地幔顶部存在较大范围的低速,低速区范围随深度迅速减小;100 km以下滇西低速消失,150 km以下基本完全消失.青藏高原上地幔速度结构沿东西方向表现出显著的分段变化.在大约84°E以西的喀喇昆仑—帕米尔—兴都库什地区,印度板块的北向和亚洲板块的南向俯冲造成上地幔显著高速;84°E—94°E之间上地幔顶部速度较低,在大约150~220 km深度范围存在高速板片,有可能是俯冲的印度岩石圈,其前缘到达昆仑—巴颜喀拉之下;在喜马拉雅东构造结以北区域,存在显著的上地幔高速区,可能阻碍上地幔物质的东向运动.川滇西部岩石圈底界深度与扬子克拉通相似,约为180 km,但上地幔顶部速度较低.这些现象表明青藏高原岩石圈地幔的变形/运动方式可能与地壳有本质的区别. 相似文献

Velocity structure of the upper mantle of the East European platform according to seismic noise data
T. Yu. Koroleva T. B. Yanovskaya S. S. Patrusheva 《Izvestiya Physics of the Solid Earth》2010,46(10):839-848
Cross-correlation functions of noise are constructed on 119 interstation paths from seismic noise records at stations of Eastern Europe. Dispersion curves of the group velocity of Rayleigh waves obtained from the cross-correlation functions are used for constructing the three-dimensional distribution of the velocity of transverse waves on the East European platform and in adjacent regions by methods of surface-wave tomography. The mean velocity in the crust is minimum in the region of the Caspian depression and Black Sea basin (<3.3 km/s) and maximum in the Baltic shield area (>3.7 km/s). The upper mantle beneath the Baltic and Ukrainian shields is characterized by increased velocity and the absence of the asthenospheric layer. Reduced velocities are noted in the upper mantle of the Black Sea basin. A low-velocity anomaly in the shape of a vertical column is revealed at depths of 200–300 km in the central part of the Dnieper-Donets aulacogen, which confirms the existence of a paleorift in this region. 相似文献
