Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) observations of crustal magnetic fields over Tharsis provide new constraints on models for the thermal and magmatic evolution of this region. We analyze the distribution of magnetic field anomalies over Tharsis surface units of Noachian, Hesperian and Amazonian age. These data suggest that early Noachian crust underlies the Tharsis province, and formed contemporaneously with the existence of a martian dynamo. This crust either pre-dates the formation of Tharsis, or formed during the earlier phases of Tharsis volcanism. The preservation of strong magnetic field anomalies over some of the earliest Noachian and topographically high units, together with the observation of magnetic field anomalies over Hesperian- and Amazonian-age surface units, indicate that a large fraction of the magnetized crust has remained cool (below the blocking temperature of the magnetic carrier) throughout the construction of Tharsis. Moreover, the distributions of magnetic anomaly amplitudes over Noachian, Hesperian, and Amazonian surface units suggest that the youngest units overlie sites of prolonged intrusion and have undergone a greater extent of thermal demagnetization. The absence of magnetic anomalies around the Tharsis Montes and Olympus Mons argues for strong, localized heating, as would be expected at volcanic centers. We show that end-member models for progressive thermal demagnetization of a Noachian magnetized crustal layer are consistent with the anomaly amplitude distributions. We integrate the magnetic field observations with constraints from tectonics, gravity, and topography, and present a revised scenario for the evolution of the Tharsis region. 相似文献

Gravity and magnetic signatures of volcanic plugs related to Deccan volcanism in Saurashtra, India and their physical and geochemical properties 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Bouguer anomaly and the total intensity magnetic maps of Saurashtra have delineated six circular gravity highs and magnetic anomalies of 40-60 mGal (10−5m/s2) and 800-1000 nT, respectively. Three of them in western Saurashtra coincide with known volcanic plugs associated with Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP), while the other three in SE Saurashtra coincide with rather concealed plugs exposed partially. The DVP represents different phases of eruption during 65.5±2.5 Ma from the Reunion plume. The geochemical data of the exposed rock samples from these plugs exhibit a wide variation in source composition, which varies from ultramafic/mafic to felsic composition of volcanic plugs in western Saurashtra and an alkaline composition for those in SE Saurashtra. Detailed studies of granophyres and alkaline rocks from these volcanic plugs reveal a calc-alkaline differentiation trend and a continental tectonic setting of emplacement. The alkaline plugs of SE Saurashtra are associated with NE-SW oriented structural trends, related to the Gulf of Cambay and the Cambay rift basin along the track of the Reunion plume. This indicates a deeper source for these plugs compared to those in the western part and may represent the primary source magma. The Junagadh plug with well differentiated ring complexes in western Saurashtra shows well defined centers of magnetic anomaly while the magnetic anomalies due to other plugs are diffused though of the same amplitude. This implies that other plugs are also associated with mafic/ultramafic components, which may not be differentiated and may be present at subsurface levels. Paleomagnetic measurements on surface rock samples from DVP in Saurashtra suggest a susceptibility of 5.5×10−2 SI units with an average Koenigsberger ratio (Qn) of almost one and average direction of remanent magnetization of D=147.4° and I=+56.1°. The virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP) position computed from the mean direction of magnetization for the volcanic plugs and Deccan basalt of Saurashtra is 30°N and 74°W, which is close to the VGP position corresponding to the early phases of Deccan eruption. Modeling of gravity and magnetic anomalies along two representative profiles across Junagadh and Barda volcanic plugs suggest a bulk density of 2900 and 2880 kg/m3, respectively and susceptibility of 3.14×10−2 SI units with a Qn ratio of 0.56 which are within the range of their values obtained from laboratory measurements on exposed rock samples. The same order of gravity and magnetic anomalies observed over the volcanic plugs of Saurashtra indicates almost similar bulk physical properties for them. The inferred directions of magnetization from magnetic anomalies, however, are D=337° and 340° and I=−38° and −50° which represent the bulk direction of magnetization and also indicate a reversal of the magnetic field during the eruption of these plugs. Some of these plugs are associated with seismic activities of magnitude ≤4 at their contacts. Based on this analysis, other circular/semi-circular gravity highs of NW India can be qualitatively attributed to similar subsurface volcanic plugs. 相似文献

Imaging and modelling the subsurface structure of volcanic calderas with high-resolution aeromagnetic data at Vulcano (Aeolian Islands,Italy) 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Isabel Blanco-Montenegro Riccardo De Ritis Massimo Chiappini 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2007,69(6):643-659
In this paper, we present a magnetic model of the subsurface structure of Vulcano island based on high-resolution aeromagnetic
data. Three profiles across the most intense magnetic anomalies over the Piano and Fossa calderas were selected for the magnetic
modelling, which was constrained by structural and volcanological data, previous geophysical models, paleomagnetic data, and
borehole stratigraphy obtained from two deep wells. The interpretation of the magnetic sources represents a significant contribution
to the understanding of the Piano and Fossa calderas’ underlying structure, providing us with evidence of the lateral discontinuity
between them at depth. We propose that the positive magnetic anomalies in the Piano caldera area are caused by: (a) the remnants
of an early submarine volcano; (b) an outcropping dyke swarm related to the feeding system of the Primordial Vulcano phase
(beneath Mt. Saraceno); and (c) the presence of a non-outcropping dyke system intruded along a NE–SW-oriented intra-caldera
fault (beneath the eastern part of the Piano caldera). Offshore, to the west, the magnetic anomaly map suggests the presence
of a submarine volcanic structure, not revealed by bathymetric data, which could represent the eruptive centre, the presence
of which has been indirectly deduced from the outcrop of eastern-dipping lavas on the western seashore. Magnetic modelling
of the Fossa caldera points to the presence of a highly magnetized cone-like body inside the Fossa cone, centred beneath the
oldest crater rims. We interpret this body as a pile of tephritic lavas emplaced in an early phase of activity of the Fossa
cone, suggesting that the volume of mafic lavas that erupted at the beginning of the construction of the Fossa edifice was
more significant than has previously been deduced. Furthermore, the presence of a magnetized body inside the Fossa cone implies
that high temperatures are contained in very limited spaces, do not affect its bulk inner structure, and are restricted to
fumarolic conduits and vents. In addition, structures beneath the western and northern part of the Fossa caldera are revealed
to have null or low magnetization, which can be ascribed to the presence of pyroclasts and hyaloclastites in this area as
well as to a large volume of hydrothermally altered materials. This suggests that the hydrothermal system, with a very limited
extension at present, affected a larger area in the past, especially beneath the western part of the caldera. 相似文献

Paleomagnetic studies of the basalt samples of Mid-Atlantic Ridge recovered during DSDP Leg 45 and the FAMOUS Project have led to a revision of our view of the oceanic igneous crust as a recorder of geomagnetic field reversals. The discovery of several magnetic polarity reversals with depth in the crust has indicated that oceanic igneous basement should not necessarily be considered magnetized uniformly in direction, or even polarity, in a given vertical cross section. Statistical arguments, based on the ratio of the average time of crustal formation to the average length of a magnetic polarity interval, indicate that magnetic reversals with depth are to be expected in typical ocean crust, but also that this does not conflict with current theories of plate tectonics or exclude the upper layers of the crust from making a major contribution to the overlying linear magnetic anomalies. Certain ratios of average crustal formation time to average polarity interval do, however, result in an effective zero magnetization for the oceanic crust and these conditions may be responsible for the reduced amplitude of magnetic anomalies in some areas. 相似文献

A detailed investigation on the location of magmatic intrusions in the Carboniferous strata of the Qinggelidi area, north‐eastern Junggar Basin, is presented based on the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data constrained by petrophysical data, seismics and surface geology. The wavelet multi‐resolution analysis based on the discrete wavelet transform is adopted to the regional‐residual separation of gravity and magnetic anomalies. A power spectrum analysis is applied to estimate the source depths corresponding to different scales. A comparative analysis on the characteristics of local gravity and magnetic anomalies improved our understanding of volcanic rock distribution in the Carboniferous strata. Generally speaking, in total 75 anomalies are recognized, among which 23 are inferred to be the responses of basalts, diabases and andesites with high density and strong magnetization. Twelve anomalies are assumed to be caused by andesites, rhyolites and volcanic breccias with medium‐low density and high magnetization. There are still five anomalies that are believed to be generated by volcanic tuffs with low density and weak magnetization. Lastly, four cross‐sections in 3D gravity and magnetic modelling are displayed to provide a more thorough image of volcanic rocks in our study area. 相似文献

Gravity and magnetic methods have been applied to the Tenerife Island, to provide new information about its internal structure. For this study, 365 gravity stations covering the central part of the island have been selected. The anomalous density maps at different depths were obtained by means of an inversion global adjustment, on fixed density contrast, to describe the three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the anomalous bodies. On the other hand, several analysis techniques, such as reduction to the pole, spectral analysis, low-pass filtering, terrain correction and forward modelling, were applied to process the high-resolution data obtained in an aeromagnetic survey, completed with marine and terrestrial data.The joint analysis of gravity and magnetic anomalies has shown tectonic and volcanic features that define some fundamental aspects of the structural framework and volcanic evolution of the island. A strong gravity anomaly produced by a large and deep source has been associated with an uplifted block of the basement beneath the southern part of Tenerife. The sources of the observed gravity highs from 8 km b.s.l. may be associated with the growth of the submarine shield stage that was clearly controlled by regional tectonic.The long-wavelength magnetic anomalies reveal highly magnetic sources, interpreted as gabbro-ultramafic cumulates associated with the root zone of a large dyke swarm. This intrusive body could be topped by the emplacement zone of magma chambers that correlate with a magnetic horizon at 5.7±0.8 km depth. Rooted in this highly magnetic zone, two dike–like structures can be associated with the magmatic feeding system of large recent basaltic volcanoes. A shallow magnetic horizon (1.4 km a.s.l.) can be correlated with the bottom phonolites of the Las Cañadas Edifice.In the central part of the island the coincidence of some gravity and magnetic lows is consistent with the presence of low-density and low-magnetic materials, that infill a collapsed caldera system. The structures close to the surface are characterised by low-density areas connected with the recent volcanism, in particular the minimum over the Teide volcano. Hydrothermal alteration is assumed to be the cause of a short-wavelength magnetic low over the Teide volcano. 相似文献

Magnetic anomalies over the continental shelf off the east coast of India (Orissa) suggest the presence of a highly magnetic rock type magnetized with an intensity of 900 nT in a direction, azimuth(A) = 150° and inclination(I) = +65°. This suggest the occurrence of igneous volcanic rocks which is confirmed from samples found below Tertiary sediments from a few boreholes in this region. The depth of this rock type as estimated from magnetic anomalies varies from approximately 1–2 km near the coast to 4–4.5 km towards the shelf margin. This direction of magnetization is the reverse of the reported direction of magnetization for the Rajmahal Traps of the Cretaceous period (100–110 m.y). A small strip of the body near the continental shelf margin appears, however, to possess normal magnetization suggesting the occurrence of normal and reversed polarities side by side, a characteristic typical for oceanic magnetic anomalies. The reversed polarity of the rocks on the continental shelf suggests that they correspond probably to the MO reversal (115 m.y.) on world magnetostratigraphic scale and provide a paleolatitude of 47°S for the land mass of India which agrees with the palaeoreconstruction of India and Antarctica. In this reconstruction, the Mahanadi Gondwana graben on the Indian subcontinent falls into line with the Lambert Rift in Antarctica, suggesting a probable common ancestry. The volcanic rocks on the continental shelf off the east coast of India might represent a missing link, that is, rocks formed between India and Antarctica at the time of the break-up of Gondwanaland. Satellite magnetic anomalies (MAGSAT) recorded over the Indian shield and interpreted in terms of variations in the Curie point geotherm provide a direction of magnetization which also places this continent close to Antarctica. As such MAGSAT anomalies recorded over eastern Antarctica are found compatible with those recorded over the Indian shield. 相似文献

Internal structure of Ustica volcanic complex (Italy) based on a 3D inversion of magnetic data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A ground magnetic study of Ustica Island was performed to provide new insights into subsurface tectonic and volcanic structures.
The total-intensity anomaly field, obtained after a data-reduction procedure, shows the presence of a W–E-striking magnetic
anomaly in the middle of the island and another two intense anomalies, which seem to continue offshore, in the southwestern
and the northeastern sides, respectively. The detected anomalies were analyzed by a quadratic programming (QP) algorithm to
obtain a 3D subsurface magnetization distribution. The volcano magnetization model reveals the presence of intensely magnetized
volumes, interpreted as the feeding systems of the main eruptive centers of the island, which roughly follow the trend of
the main regional structural lineaments. These findings highlight how regional tectonics has strongly affected the structural
and magmatic evolution of the Ustica volcanic complex producing preferential ways for magma ascent. 相似文献

The interpretation of total field anomalies becomes somewhat complicated, especially when an arbitrarily magnetized spherical ore mass happens to be the causative body. Even though some attempts have been made to analyze total field anomaly maps, they are often too complicated and their underlying assumptions in respect of permanent and induced components of magnetism are far from realistic. In this note, an attempt has been made to show that vertical magnetic anomalies are capable of yielding interpretation with ease and precision as far as magnetized spheres are concerned. An empirical method has been outlined for computing the magnetization inclination in the plane of the profile using the measured distances between principal maximum, principal minimum, and zero anomaly positions on a magnetic anomaly profile. 相似文献

In September and October of 2011, a marine magnetic survey was conducted in the southern East China Sea between 120° and 126°E, 26° and 28°N with the research vessel Kexue-3. New magnetic maps with 5 × 5 km grid spacing were generated after meticulous data processing. Based on an analysis of magnetic anomaly features and further calculation results, including the total horizontal derivatives (THD), second order vertical derivatives (SVD) and analytic signal amplitude (ASA), several new tectonic insights on magnetic sources, basement structures and fault properties were obtained. The NE-SW or NNE-SSW oriented magnetic anomaly highs have different sources: (1) The high amplitude, short wavelength magnetic anomalies of the Zhemin Uplift are caused by shallow buried igneous rocks intruded along NE-NEE oriented faults. (2) The high amplitude, moderate wavelength magnetic anomalies of the Diaoyudao Uplift are caused by the metamorphic basement intruded by magmatic rocks. (3) The magnetic sources of the Yandang Uplift and Taibei Uplift in the shelf basin are shallow buried metamorphic basements and deep buried volcanic bodies, respectively. Several NW-SE or NWW-SEE oriented dextral strike-slip fault belts were identified as important tectonic boundaries. Each is composed of several en echelon and partly overlapping secondary faults. Initially formed in the Cretaceous, these fault belts have evolved through multiple periods, propagated seaward with the migration of the basement rifting and accommodated local stress fields in the Cenozoic. 相似文献

A magnetic anomaly map of the northern part of the Philippine Sea plate shows two conspicuous north–south rows of long-wavelength anomalies over the Izu–Ogasawara (Bonin) arc, which are slightly oblique to the present volcanic front. These anomalies are enhanced on reduced-to-pole and upward-continued anomaly maps. The east row is associated with frontal arc highs (the Shinkurose Ridge), and the west row is accompanied by the Nishi-Shichito Ridge. Another belt of long-wavelength anomalies very similar to the former two occurs over the Kyushu–Palau Ridge. To explain the similarity of the magnetic anomalies, it is proposed that after the spreading of the Shikoku Basin separated the Izu–Ogasawara arc from the Kyushu–Palau Ridge, another rifting event occurred in the Miocene, which divided the Izu–Ogasawara arc into the Nishi-Shichito and Shinkurose ridges. The occurrence of Miocene rifting has also been suggested from the geology of the collision zone of the Izu–Ogasawara arc against the Southwest Japan arc: the Misaka terrain yields peculiar volcanic rocks suggesting back-arc rifting at ～ 15 Ma. The magnetic anomaly belts over the Izu–Ogasawara arc do not extend south beyond the Sofugan Tectonic Line, suggesting a difference in tectonic history between the northern and southern parts of the Izu–Ogasawara arc. It is estimated that the Miocene extension was directed northeast–southwest, utilizing normal faults originally formed during Oligocene rifting. The direction is close to the final stage of the Shikoku Basin spreading. On a gravity anomaly relief map, northeast–southwest lineaments can be recognized in the Shikoku Basin as well as over the Nishi-Shichito Ridge. We thus consider that lines of structural weakness connected transform faults of the Shikoku Basin spreading system and the transfer faults of the Miocene Izu–Ogasawara arc rifting. Volcanism on the Nishi-Shichito Ridge has continued along the lines of weakness, which could have caused the en echelon arrangement of the volcanoes. 相似文献

Continuous wavelet transform,theoretical aspects and application to aeromagnetic data at the Huanghua Depression,Dagang Oilfield,China 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We use the continuous wavelet transform based on complex Morlet wavelets, which has been developed to estimate the source distribution of potential fields. For magnetic anomalies of adjacent sources, they always superimpose upon each other in space and wavenumber, making the identification of magnetic sources problematic. Therefore, a scale normalization factor, a?n, is introduced on the wavelet coefficients to improve resolution in the scalogram. By theoretical modelling, we set up an approximate linear relationship between the pseudo‐wavenumber and source depth. The influences of background field, random noise and magnetization inclination on the continuous wavelet transform of magnetic anomalies are also discussed and compared with the short‐time Fourier transform results. Synthetic examples indicate that the regional trend has little effect on our method, while the influence of random noise is mainly imposed on shallower sources with higher wavenumbers. The source horizontal position will be affected by the change of magnetization direction, whereas the source depth remains unchanged. After discussing the performance of our method by showing the results of various synthetic tests, we use this method on the aeromagnetic data of the Huanghua depression in central China to define the distribution of volcanic rocks. The spectrum slices in different scales are used to determine horizontal positions of volcanic rocks and their source depths are estimated from the modulus maxima of complex coefficients, which is in good accordance with drilling results. 相似文献

A comprehensive reinterpretation of the available gravity, magnetic, geothermal, geological and borehole information has been made of the Laguna Salada Basin to establish a 3D model of the basement and sedimentary infill. According to statistical spectral analysis, the residual gravity anomaly is due to sources with a mean regional depth of 2.8 km. The topography of the basement was obtained from a three‐dimensional inversion carried out in the wavenumber domain using an iterative scheme. The maximum density contrast of ?300 kg/m3 estimated from previous studies and the mean depth of 2.5 km finally constrained this inversion. The resulting model indicated that the sedimentary infill is up to 4.2 km thick at its deepest point. According to the gravity‐derived basement topography, the basin presents an asymmetry (i.e. it is of the half‐graben type). It is deeper to the east, where it is delimited from the Sierra Cucapah by a step fault. By contrast, the limit with the Sierra de Juarez is a gently sloping fault (i.e. a listric fault). The basement is not even, but it comprises a series of structural highs and lows. N–S to NW–SE and E–W to NE–SW faults delimit these structural units. The magnetic modelling was constrained by (i) the gravity‐derived basement topography; (ii) a Curie isotherm assumed to be between 7 km and 10 km; (iii) assuming induced magnetization only; (iv) the available geological and borehole information. The magnetic anomalies were interpreted successfully using the gravity‐derived basement/sedimentary interface as the top of the magnetic bodies (i.e. the magnetic modelling supports the gravity basement topography). An elongated N–S to NW–SE trending highly magnetized body running from south to north along the basin is observed to the west of the basin. This magnetic anomaly has no gravity signature. Such a feature can be interpreted as an intrusive body emplaced along a fault running through the Laguna Salada Basin. Treatment of the gravity and magnetic information (and of their horizontal gradients) with satellite image processing techniques highlighted lineaments on the basement gravity topography correlating with mapped faults. Based on all this information, we derived detailed geological models along four selected profiles to simulate numerically the heat and fluid flow in the basin. We used a finite‐difference scheme to solve the coupled Darcy and Fourier differential equations. According to our results, we have fluid flow in the sedimentary layers and a redistribution of heat flow from the basin axis toward its rims (Sierra de Juárez and Sierra Cucapah). Our model temperatures agree within an error of 4% with the observed temperature profiles measured at boreholes. Our heat‐flow determinations agree within an error of ±15% with extrapolated observations. The numerical and chemical analyses support the hypothesis of fluid circulation between the clay–lutite layer and the fractured granitic basement. Thermal modelling shows low heat‐flow values along the Laguna Salada Basin. Deep fluid circulation patterns were observed that redistribute such flow at depth. Two patterns were distinguished. One displays the heat flow increasing from the basin axis towards its borders (temperature increase of 20°C). The second pattern shows an increasing heat flow from south to north of the basin. Such behaviour is confirmed by the temperature measurements in the thermometric boreholes. 相似文献

The high-amplitude wide magnetic anomaly that covers a large area of the north-eastern – central Adriatic Sea in the Croatian offshore is ∼100 km wide and extends NW–SE for ∼350 km. The anomaly is located between the Dinarides and Apennines chains, in an interesting geodynamic scenario. The presence of intruded gabbroid rocks in the Croatian archipelago also contributes to making this intriguing and still not extensively investigated anomaly potentially significant to the geologic and geophysical context in which it is located. In this work, we model the Bouguer and magnetic anomalies across the Adriatic Sea. The 2D geophysical modeling was produced across four cross sections considering surface heat flow data to calculate the Curie depth. The magnetic susceptibilities and densities used for the synthetic bodies are in agreement with the literature and with those derived by previous models. The results suggest the presence of an uplifted magnetized basement with high magnetic susceptibility (0.075 SI units) to be the main contributor to the observed magnetic anomaly. This magnetic susceptibility is interpreted as representative of a gabbroid-intruded basement. The high-susceptibility basement is in lateral continuity with a relatively low susceptibility basement (0.025–0.038 SI units). The results of the geophysical modeling are compared with a conceptual geological model realized from the integration of surface, well and geophysical data, the latter concerning seismic, tomographic, magnetic and gravimetric anomalies and heat flow data. These data have been merged in an integrated data-base using MOVE software, and the geophysical modeling was performed using GM-SYS. The comparison allowed to confirm the hypothesis that the magnetic anomaly is related to the basement and to its position in the complex geodynamic evolution of the Apennines–Adriatic–Dinarides system. 相似文献

The hypothesis that the magnetic field which magnetized the lunar crust was generated by the dynamo process in a small fluid iron core can now be tested. Because the Coriolis force was a dominant term in the equations of motion in this core, the mean lunar field was aligned along the ancient axis of rotation. From Hood's modelling of the magnetic anomalies in the lunar crust, mapped by the Apollo 15 and 16 subsatellites, the palaeo-directions of this field have been determined. From them, palaeopole positions have been determined and are found to be grouped with respect to age. The palaeoequators corresponding to ages 4 Ga and 3.85 Ga show close relationships with the circular maria or mascons on the near side and multi-ring basins of corresponding age on the far side. The polar displacements indicated from lunar palaeomagnetism can be explained by the changes in the moment of inertia tensor consequent on the excavation and later flooding of these circular mare. Small moons in the primeval Earth-Moon system are inferred to be the impacting bodies. 相似文献

The central Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is a region of intense Quaternary rhyolitic volcanism and geothermal activity in the North Island of New Zealand from which about 14,000 km3 of pyroclastics and lavas have been erupted during the last 1.6 Ma. Analysis of aeromagnetic surveys over the TVZ showed the presence of long-wavelength (10 to 25 km) magnetic anomalies which roughly follow the trend of the currently active eastern TVZ, from the north of Lake Taupo to the east of Lake Rotorua. An interpretation of the long-wavelength magnetic anomalies using 3-D magnetic modelling suggests that these anomalies are caused by the magnetic effects of < 3 km thick sequence of volcanic rocks and deeper magnetised bodies within the non-magnetic upper crust (4–7 km depth) beneath the young (age < 0.7 Ma), currently active eastern TVZ. The deep magnetised bodies are interpreted as solidified rhyolitic sub-volcanic plutons that have cooled down to below their Curie temperature.Although the existence of plutonic bodies beneath the TVZ has been postulated prior to this study, this magnetic interpretation result appears to be the first geophysical model of such bodies. 相似文献

Abstract Several linear magnetic anomalies over continental crust have been identified in and around the Japanese Islands. The anomalies are probably related to island arc tectonic structures, but identifying specific sources has been difficult. Several deep holes were drilled in and around Aso caldera, where a linear anomaly occurs along an active fault. One drillhole located on the linear anomaly encountered a zone of highly magnetized and altered basement rocks at least 100 m thick at a depth of ∼1000 m. The other hole was located away from the anomaly and did not encounter any high-magnetic zones. Rocks from the zone have exceptionally strong remanent magnetization (several tens of A/m) sub-parallel to the present field. AF demagnetization experiments indicated that the magnetization is hard and stable. Magnetic modeling indicates that the linear anomaly is caused mainly by this layer. Microscopic examination of core samples shows that the highly magnetized zone includes secondary magnetic minerals and abundant hydrothermal alterations. Temperatures determined by fluid inclusions and down-hole temperatures show that the temperature of the highly magnetized zone was elevated in the past relative to surrounding rocks. The high temperature could destroy primary magnetic minerals and replace them with secondary magnetic minerals. Thus, the past hydrothermal system may have enhanced thermo-chemical remanent magnetization. The results can produce a model indicating that there was a past hydrothermal system related to the tectonic structure. 相似文献

The response of the Sao Paulo Continental Shelf (SPCS) to synoptic wind forcing has been analyzed. Two different methods are
used for this purpose, one based on hydrographic data, bottom topography, and geographical characteristics, and a second on
analyzing currentmeter data directly and using empirical orthogonal functions. Both methods show similar results for an essentially
barotropic shelf. The SPCS response in the subinertial frequency band appears to be trapped on the continental shelf. Numerical
experiments have also been carried out showing results that qualitatively agree with the observations, including the velocity
component parallel to the coastline.

The Neogene composite volcano of Cantal is the largest volcano in Europe. Its area (2500 km2) is larger than that of Etna (1200 km2). It was formed between 23 and 3 Ma ago.An aeromagnetic survey, in addition to electrical (ES) and magnetotelluric soundings (MTS) carried out in recent years have made it possible to describe the structure of this volcano.The terrain effects of the various pyroclastics and lavas that make up the volcanic edifice have been computed and removed from the aeromagnetic data; the analysis of the resulting terrain-corrected residual anomalies gives clear evidence for the presence of three internal or deep-seated magnetized bodies which are also revealed by the ES and MTS investigations:
- 1. (1) The main hypostructure corresponds to a large volcano-tectonic trough filled with low-resistivity (10-5 ωm) and moderately magnetized (1 A/m) volcanic material. However, a part of the trough is filled with non-magnetic formations and it may be an Oligocene sedimentary graben cut across by the present volcanic trough.
- 2. (2) The hypovolcanic intrusion (monzonites and gabbros) of the Jordanne upper valley was previously known from an outcrop and a borehole (260 m). Its large extent (15 km2) is shown by magnetic study as well as by ES and MTS. According to the magnetic interpretation, its thickness would be 300 m.
- 3. (3) The nature of the structure inside the Plomb du Cantal is still uncertain. In view of its high resistivity and high magnetization, it may be an unexposed pile of lavas inside the cone or a large intrusion.
