2006年中国地震局地质研究所地震动力学国家重点实验室在川西地区(26°N~32°N,100°E~105°E)布设了由297台宽频带数字地震仪组成的流动观测台阵.利用该密集台阵29°N以北156个台站2007年1~12月份的地震环境噪声记录和互相关技术,我们得到了所有台站对的面波经验格林函数和瑞利波相速度频散曲线,并进一步反演得到了观测台阵下方2~35 s周期的瑞利波相速度分布图像．本文结果表明,观测台阵覆盖的川滇地块、松潘-甘孜地块和四川盆地的地壳速度结构存在显著差异,具体表现为：(1)短周期（2~8 s）相速度分布与地表构造特征相吻合,作为川滇地块、松潘-甘孜地块和四川盆地之间的边界断裂,龙门山断裂带和鲜水河断裂带对上述三个地块上地壳的速度结构具有明显的控制作用,四川盆地前陆低速特征表明相应区域存在较厚的（约10 km）沉积盖层;(2)中周期（12~18 s）相速度分布表明,川滇地块和松潘-甘孜地块中上地壳速度结构存在明显的不均匀横向变化,并形成了尺度不同且高、低速相间的分块结构,而四川盆地中地壳整体上已经表现出相对高速;(3)长周期（25~35 s）相速度分布表明,松潘-甘孜地块,特别是川滇地块中下地壳表现为广泛的明显低速异常,意味着它们的中下地壳相对软弱,而四川盆地的中下地壳呈现整体性的相对高速,意味着四川盆地具有相对坚硬的中下地壳,并且以汶川地震的震中为界,龙门山断裂带的地壳结构显示了北段为高速异常,南段为低速异常的分段特征． 相似文献

本文利用川西地震台阵记录到的远震P波走时数据和非线性层析成像算法,获得龙门山地区400 km深度范围内的三维P波速度结构.为了适应川西地区复杂的地质结构,本文的层析成像方法采用了快速行进三维走时计算算法和Tarantola非线性反演算法.我们的结果揭示了川滇地块、松潘-甘孜地块和四川盆地三个不同地块构造差异及该区深部动力学特征.本文的研究表明：1）研究区地壳上地幔P波速度结构具有较为明显的分区特征,松潘-甘孜地块和川滇地块岩石圈速度较低,四川盆地岩石圈速度较高,四川盆地的岩石圈厚度从南250 km向北逐渐减薄至100 km.松潘-甘孜地块上地幔存在地幔上涌的特征.2）川滇地块和四川盆地仅是垂直接触关系,而在龙门山地区四川盆地前缘存在减薄的现象,并伴随松潘-甘孜地块上地幔低速物质有侵入四川盆地岩石圈下方的特征,这显示了四川盆地与松潘-甘孜地块和川滇地块的动力学关系的差异.3）以映秀为界,龙门山断裂带被从松潘-甘孜侵入的低速异常分为南北两段：龙门山南段和龙门山北段,汶川大地震及其余震序列均分布在龙门山断裂带的北段.在青藏高原向东挤压和地幔上涌的双重作用下造成松潘-甘孜地块隆升,由于汶川处于龙门山北段的最南端,应力容易在此集中.这些因素可能是汶川MS8.0地震的基本动力学背景.本文的结果不支持四川盆地的俯冲及层间流动的动力学模型. 相似文献

2008年5月12日我国四川省汶川地区发生了震惊世界的MS8.0地震.历史上,同类地震在大陆内部极为罕见.该地震深部构造背景的研究对理解其成因极为重要.本文利用中国地震局地质研究所地震动力学国家重点实验室在川西地区布设的大规模密集流动宽频带地震台阵记录的远震P波波形数据和接收函数非线性反演方法,得到了沿北纬31°线的19个台站下方120 km深度范围内的S波速度结构及台站下方地壳的平均泊松比.该观测剖面穿越了主震区,总长度约为420 km.
我们的结果揭示了川滇地块、松潘-甘孜地块和四川盆地三个不同地块构造差异.上述三个地块的地壳结构特征可以概括为：（1）四川盆地前陆壳幔界面向西侧倾斜并有较为明显的横向变形,地壳厚度存在46～52 km的横向变化,中下地壳S波速度存在横向变化,地壳平均泊松比值较高（0.28～0.31）,但在龙门山断裂带附近,显示了坚硬地壳的特征,地壳平均泊松比仅为0.2;（2）松潘-甘孜地块地壳厚度由西侧靠近鲜水河断裂的60 km,向东减薄为52 km,在14～50 km深度范围内存在S波速度2.75～3.15 km/s的楔状低速区,其厚度由西侧的～30 km向东逐渐减薄为～15 km,相应区域的地壳平均泊松比高达0.29～0.31; （3）鲜水河断裂西侧,川滇地块地壳结构相对简单,地壳厚度为58 km,并在26 km深度存在约10 km厚度的高速层,地壳内平均泊松比约为0.25;（4）汶川大震区在12～23 km深度上具有近乎4.0 km/s的S波高速结构,而其下方的地壳为低速结构,地壳平均泊松比0.31～0.32,汶川大震的余震序列主要分布在高速介质区域内.
本文的结果表明松潘-甘孜地块的地壳相对软弱;而且并不存在四川盆地向西侧的俯冲.我们认为在青藏高原东向挤压的长期作用下,四川盆地强硬地壳的阻挡作用可导致松潘-甘孜地块内部蓄积很大的应变能量以及上、下地壳在壳内低速层顶部边界的解耦,在龙门山断裂带附近形成上地壳的铲形逆冲推覆.汶川大地震及其邻近区域所具有的坚硬上地壳和四川盆地的阻挡作用为低应变率下的高强度应力积累创造了必要条件,而松潘-甘孜地块长期变形积累的高应变能构成了孕育汶川大地震的动力来源. 相似文献

对龙门山及其邻近地区20个宽频带地震台站的记录提取远震P波接收函数,并应用H-k叠加方法,求得每个台站下方的地壳厚度和波速比.以此为约束,进一步作接收函数反演,获得各个台站下方的S波速度结构.后龙门山与松潘-甘孜地块的地壳速度结构相似,而前龙门山的地壳速度结构则与四川盆地相似.由此说明,中央主断裂带是青藏高原东部与扬子地块之间主要的边界断裂.松潘甘孜地块至后龙门山中南部地区存在下地壳低速层,有利于中上地壳物质的滑脱作用.远震接收函数和布格重力异常的分析结果支持龙门山断裂带深部构造为滑脱-逆冲型的论断.在松潘-甘孜地块内可能具有双层的滑脱构造.上层滑脱发生在10~15km的深度上,该滑脱带表现为高温韧性滑脱剪切带.下层滑脱则发生在30km左右的深度上,其下方为青藏高原东部广泛存在的下地壳流.布格重力异常的分析表明,在中上地壳,四川盆地的密度较高,松潘-甘孜地块密度相对较低.龙门山断裂带位于密度较高的一侧,是松潘-甘孜地块向东南方的四川盆地逆冲的结果.在地壳下部,四川盆地为高P波速度和高密度区,表明地壳物质是坚硬的.松潘-甘孜块体是低S波速度和低密度区,表明物质比较软弱.高密度块体阻挡了青藏高原东部下地壳物质向四川盆地下方的流动.受印度板块往北运动的影响,青藏高原下地壳物质向东流动.中上地壳物质向东运动受到刚性强度较大的扬子地块的阻挡,在龙门山断裂带上产生应力集中,导致中央断裂带上应力突然释放,产生汶川Ms8.0级地震. 相似文献

基于四川盆地及周边的245个宽频带台站2010年9月—2014年9月期间的远震记录,提取双台路径瑞利面波相速度频散资料,反演得到四川盆地20～120s的高分辨率瑞利面波相速度及各向异性空间分布.在丰富区域地球物理基础数据的同时,结合已有研究成果对地壳上地幔变形耦合进行探讨,结果表明短周期(20～30s)的相速度分布与四川盆地的地质构造特征相吻合,作为川滇地块、松潘—甘孜地块和四川盆地之间的边界——龙门山断裂带和鲜水河断裂带对上述三个地块上地壳的速度结构具有明显的控制作用;松潘—甘孜地块,特别是川滇地块中下地壳普遍表现为明显的低速异常,表明中下地壳相对软弱;而四川盆地的中下地壳整体呈现相对高速,表明四川盆地具有相对坚硬的中下地壳.研究区域东南角接近北扬子地块与南扬子地块的缝合部位,呈现高速异常.四川盆地南部和东南邻区不同周期均具有较强的各向异性,且快波方向较为一致,反映这些地区不同深度变形耦合较好.四川盆地西部、北部及东北部邻区,不同周期的各向异性快波方向变化较大,不同深度变形耦合较差.这些特征与绕喜马拉雅东构造结的物质流动被扬子地块的高速地壳阻挡的宏观认识基本一致. 相似文献

根据本文提出的更为严格的地震数据筛选方法——横向分区地震均值筛选法,选取了四川、云南、重庆和贵州地震台网的224个固定台站和49个流动台站在2008年1月1日—2017年12月31日期间记录的48,177个地震、372,483条初至P波绝对到时数据以及2,413,407条精度较高的相对到时数据,利用区域双差地震层析成像方法联合反演了青藏高原东南缘川滇地区三维P波速度结构和地震震源参数.研究结果表明:(1)川滇地区上地壳结构横向不均匀性明显,四川盆地上地壳10 km深度范围内表现为低速异常,而松潘—甘孜地块、滇中地块则表现为明显的高速异常;(2)川滇地区地震主要沿着边界断裂分布,大多数地震为浅源地震,震源深度主要集中在5～15 km深度范围内,震源主要位于高速异常与低速异常交界区域,且偏向高速异常体一侧;(3)震源分布研究推测龙门山断裂带前山断裂东南侧可能存在一条倾向北西、倾角约为40.的北东向走向的隐伏断裂,且为芦山地震的主要发震断裂;(4)川滇地区中下地壳低速异常体可能反映了中下地壳弱物质流的存在,中下地壳物质流不是广泛分布在川滇地区,而是沿着川滇块体东部有限的通道向南流动.中下地壳流可能是沿着鲜水河断裂带向东南方向流出,在雅安一带遇到坚硬稳定的四川盆地的阻挡,一部分物质向北东方向流动,而另一部分物质转向南沿着安宁河断裂带和则木河断裂带分布,并继续向南沿着小江断裂带流动. 相似文献

本文使用川西密集地震台阵记录的面波资料,利用程函方程面波成像方法获得了周期为14—60 s的瑞雷波相速度及方位各向异性分布。结果显示:川滇菱形地块的川西北地块内部的低速异常明显,其下地壳各向异性快波方向以NS向为主,松潘—甘孜地块内部的低速异常稍弱,下地壳各向异性快波方向以NW?SESE向为主,表明川西北地块可能存在下地壳通道流,松潘—甘孜地块内部存在的通道流相对较弱;龙门山断裂带和丽江—小金河断裂两侧的速度结构和方位各向异性均有明显差异,可推测青藏高原内部的地壳流在东部和南部分别受高速、高强度的四川盆地和滇中地块阻挡,沿高原边界带发生了侧向流动;周期大于25 s的面波方位各向异性方向为NW?SE;与SKS分裂优势方向相近,说明四川盆地的剪切波各向异性可能主要源于上地幔;而龙门山断裂带附近壳幔各向异性较为复杂,面波方位各向异性与SKS分裂的NW?SE向弱各向异性存在差异,表明该处的剪切波各向异性可能来自地幔更深处,有待进一步研究。 相似文献

青藏高原是全球造山带研究的热点地区,此前在青藏高原开展的三维层析成像研究大多基于线性反演方法.本文利用青藏高原东缘及邻区布设的127个宽频带固定地震台站记录的连续波形资料,首先通过噪声互相关提取了3～50sRayleigh波群速度频散曲线并反演得到群速度分布,再进一步采用模拟退火法反演了研究区的三维S波速度及泊松比结构.结果显示:(1)松潘—甘孜地块的中下地壳低速异常主要分布在龙日坝断裂带、鲜水河断裂带、龙门山断裂带和岷山隆起所围限的区域,而该区域的中下地壳仅具有中等泊松比值,推测松潘—甘孜地块中下地壳的低速物质可能是青藏高原与扬子块体长期相互作用产生的塑性低速滑脱层;上地壳脆性物质在板块作用下沿中地壳低速滑脱层顶界面发生逆冲增厚,造成龙门山的持续抬升和地形起伏,并在构造边界带形成了应变积累和应力集中;而龙门山断裂带的上地壳低速软弱物质为地壳发生破裂提供了有利条件,从而在某种程度上促进了汶川地震和芦山地震的发生.(2)岷山隆起一带中下地壳的高泊松比异常呈"凸起"形态,结合前人研究发现的较高热流和岩石快速抬升现象,推测岷山隆起一带可能存在岩石圈的拆沉,导致地幔热物质上涌而形成下地壳高泊松比物质.(3)川滇地块的北部和南部具有不同的S波速度和泊松比分布特征.30km深度下川滇地块北部具有明显的低速异常,而该深度下并不具有明显的高泊松比值特征;此外剖面成像结果也显示川滇地块内的低速异常与高泊松比的分布不一致,因此川滇地块的研究结果不支持下地壳流模型.综合其他地震学证据,本文认为川滇地块的变形模式为上地壳纯剪切增厚,块体变形主要受块体内部的走滑断裂及活动边界断裂控制. 相似文献

The data on geomagnetic reversals are compared with the changes in the organic world and with the lower-mantle plumes. The
times of the formation of plumes and the times of their appearance on the Earth’s surface relate to the intervals characterized
by the different frequencies of geomagnetic reversals, i.e., there is no interrelation between the formation of plumes and
the frequency of the changes in the geomagnetic field polarity. At the same time, a certain synchronism is observed between
the frequency of the geomagnetic reversals and the boundaries of the biostratigraphic ages, i.e., the changes in the organic
world in the long-period range. A hypothesis is proposed, which explains the change in the sign of the geomagnetic field by
the combined effect of the irregular rotation of the internal core relative to the mantle and the changes in the slope angle
of the axis of the Earth’s rotation, which, in turn, results in synchronous events on the Earth’s surface: the rates of changes
in the organic world. 相似文献

Summary The author mentions the aims of the World-wide gravity project he established in the Ohio State University in Columbus, in 1950. He outlines the practical procedure of the gravimetric computations of the undulationsN and the vertical deflection components and and emphasizes that only by the global international cooperation and additional gravity observations at sea carried out during the last decade it has been possible to gather to Columbus the needed gravity material. Since there exist still large gravimetrically unsurveyed areas it is of vital significance to study what gravity anomalies are best to be used for these regions. The given figures concerning the accuracy of theN, and , estimated theoretically and obtained in practice, indicate that in the gravimetrically well surveyed parts of the world like in Europe and the United States we can get gravimetrically on basis of existing gravity material theN-values with accuracy of about 5–10 meters, and and with the accuracy of about 1. The geoid undulationsN are already computed in Columbus for more than 6000 points of the northern hemisphere. The sample maps show the interesting geoid of Europe and vicinity between the latitudes 60° and 30° and longitude 5° W and 30° E, drafted on basis of more than 1000N-values computed at the corners of 1°×1° squares. It is interesting to realize that the geoid undulations in all this area are positive, the extreme values being between 40 and 50 meters. The geophysical significance of the geoid maps of this kind is pointed out. 相似文献

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports.The contributions from each of the three forcing mechanisms to the temperature and zonal wind fields are invstigated individually and found to be of about equal importance. The sum of the three contributions are also presented for the temperature, the zonal wind, the stream function associated with the mean meridional circulation and the corresponding vertical motion. Although the results fail to reproduce the main observed features of the lower stratosphere, they are found to be in good agreement with observations in the middle latitude troposphere. At any pressure level, for example, the computed mean zonal wind has a jet-like profile and the axis of the jet is found to slope to the south with height, as observed in the atmosphere.Based in part on a thesis submitted by the first author as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. — Publication No. 194 from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, The University of Michigan. 相似文献

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth. 相似文献

The global database on the paleointensity, containing determinations of the virtual dipole moment (VDM) for a stable (normal) regime of the geomagnetic field in a time interval of up to 3.5 Ga, is supplemented by new VDM determinations and analyzed. The field generation process started no later than 3–3.5 Ga (earlier data are absent) at the stage of the Earth’s core formation. Since that time, the dipole value has differed from its present value by no more than an order of magnitude, and the deviations that have already been detected tend toward smaller values. The distribution of VDM values in the time interval 0–400 Ma is bimodal, which apparently reflects the presence of two different generation levels of the geomagnetic field distinguished by a relatively large value (close to the present field value) and a relatively small value (approximately half as large as the present value). The total duration of decreased VDM values appreciably exceeds that of increased VDM values (179.1 and 28.6 Myr, respectively). On the whole, data on the paleointensity do not contradict the hypothesis about the dipole nature of the field over the last 400 Myr; however, the number of determinations at high paleolatitudes is too small to draw decisive conclusions on the validity (or invalidity) of the dipole field approximation based solely on paleointensity data. 相似文献

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary. 相似文献

A special high-resolution routine of the EISCAT radar has been used to investigate the structure and development of the poleward wall of a deep trough in electron density. The feature was tracked by the radar during a 7-hour period under very quiet geomagnetic conditions. The field-aligned nature of the structure enabled an estimate to be made of the inclination of the geomagnetic field above EISCAT that was in good agreement with the current model. Observations of narrow field-aligned enhancements in electron temperature demonstrated that the wall of this trough is a dynamic feature, reforming regularly as the electron density responds on a time scale of tens of minutes to energy input from soft-particle precipitation. 相似文献
