祁连山西段党河流域地貌特征及其构造指示意义 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
党河流域位于祁连山西段,流域内发育有三危山断裂、阿尔金断裂、野马河断裂和党河南山断裂等.这些断裂晚第四纪新活动性明显,控制着区内的构造变形、山体隆升与河流水系地貌发育.流域地貌参数指标能够很好地反映区域构造变形特征,因而党河流域地貌的发育和演化过程也记录了该区构造活动的重要信息.本文基于GIS空间分析技术,利用SRTM-DEM数据,系统提取了研究区内水系网络并对其进行Strahler分级后,获取党河流域各级亚流域盆地共计554个,进而计算了各亚流域盆地的面积-高程积分(HI)值,并对HI值进行空间插值,获取党河流域HI值空间分布特征.通过对比区内各个地貌参数指标,发现其与构造活动具有很好的相关性和同步性,表明构造活动对于流域地形地貌发育具有强烈的控制作用.区内亚流域盆地的面积-高程积分值分布特征表明,HI低值区与第四纪断陷盆地的范围相一致,而HI高值区则与晚更新世以来主干断裂的逆冲活动山体隆升范围相一致,反映了该区山体隆升和盆地沉降作用的总体面貌. 相似文献

笔者等基于ASTER GDEM数据,提取莲峰、昭通—鲁甸断裂带集水区,计算该区亚流域盆地的面积—高程积分值,并结合野外剖面特征、历史地震、断裂构造特征及活动特征等,初步探讨了莲峰、昭通—鲁甸断裂带的构造地貌特征及其动力学机制。得到以下几点认识：① 研究区除鲁甸盆地外,大部分地区的地貌发育阶段为壮年期;② 研究区面积—高程积分值（HI）主要受控于构造活动,岩性的抗侵蚀性和水系侵蚀发挥局部或次要作用;③ 面积—高程积分值（HI）对研究区不同构造抬升强度地区的响应方式不同：构造强烈抬升区,HI值反映了集水流域受到强烈的构造抬升和侵蚀的共同作用;构造抬升减弱区,HI值反映了缓慢的构造隆升和沉积作用的共同结果。 相似文献

大别山构造地貌的DEM初步分析 总被引：7，自引：1，他引：6
以地理信息系统(GIS)为平台,利用航天飞机雷达地形测量(SRTM)数据,构建了大别造山带地区的数字高程模型(DEM),对大别山地区的构造地貌进行了模拟解译分析.研究表明,大别山在造山带走向和垂直走向的方向上都是中间高、两边低,两边地势低的部位发育断陷盆地.SRTM DEM地貌图显示,郯庐等大断裂地貌特征明显,断裂构造严格控制了水系的发育,大别山水系多呈格子状分布,在地貌上主要表现为河流的大角度转弯以及主支流近直角交汇;由于本区地壳沿断裂作差异性升降运动,造成地堑谷、断块山和断陷盆地并存的地貌特点.本文统计分析了坡度与高程之间的相互关系,并提取了夷平面信息. 相似文献

祁连山东段石羊河流域及邻区地貌特征及其构造意义 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
受祁连山北缘断裂和广义海原断裂等构造活动的控制和影响,祁连山东段发育了由多条挤压逆冲断裂组成的古浪推覆体构造,形成地貌起伏大并向北逐级降低的独特构造地貌特征。本文基于ArcGIS空间分析技术,利用数字高程模型(DEM)系统提取了祁连山东段(造山带内部与河西走廊盆地)的宏观地貌因子(如面积—高程积分和条带状剖面)并综合分析其所蕴含的地质意义。研究结果表明,区域地貌演化过程主要由构造变形控制,而并非岩性差异和降雨条件等因素。研究区内的皇城—双塔断裂、冷龙岭断裂以及武威盆地南缘断裂所控制的古浪推覆体具有较高的HI值,龙首山东段的河西堡—四道山断裂南侧显示HI高值、北侧显示HI低值,表明祁连山东段存在由南向北的挤压扩展演化过程,这可能与祁连山北缘大断裂向北的扩展以及阿拉善块体向南俯冲作用有关;提供了祁连山东段向河西走廊内部挤压扩展的地貌证据。 相似文献

基于DEM的白龙江流域构造活动定量分析 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
白龙江流域地处青藏高原向黄土高原过渡的斜坡急剧变形带,是我国泥石流、滑坡灾害最为严重的地区之一,由于流域受多条断裂带的影响,内部相对构造活动强度存在差异,因此对该地区构造活动程度的研究显得尤为重要。本文基于SRTM3-DEM数据,利用GIS技术提取了白龙江流域33个子流域的面积高程积分(HI)、河流阶梯指数(SL)、流域盆地不对称度(AF)、流域形状指数(BS)、谷底宽度与谷肩高度比(VF)等5种地貌参数。然后对5种地貌参数进行分级,求取5种地貌参数分级值的算术平均值,作为评价研究区的构造活动程度(Iat),分为弱、中等、较强和强四类。研究结果表明,白龙江流域中上游地区构造活动程度为中等至强(Iat≤2),这与该地区受青藏高原隆升效应及断裂带走滑作用相一致。下游地区构造活动程度相对弱(Iat2),地貌差异不明显,这与该地区主要断裂带第四纪以来活动性弱有关。研究结果与区域的地质背景相一致,该研究对利用地貌参数进行流域的活动构造量化分析具有借鉴意义。 相似文献

基于DEM渭河上游流域的活动构造量化分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
渭河上游流域位于青藏高原东北缘,横跨近东西向的秦岭北缘构造带和近南北向的贺兰山构造带的复合部位,是青藏高原向大陆内部扩展增生的前缘部位.晚更新世以来,伴随着青藏高原的不断隆升与扩展,研究区构造活动程度强烈.同时,受印度板块和欧亚板块碰撞的远程效应的扩散作用和南北构造带活动的叠加作用影响,造成流域内部构造活动相对程度的差异性,因而需要对其分区域分析.本文利用DEM数据和3S技术,对区域地形地貌进行三维可视化和统计分析,提取地貌的参数指标,如面积-高程积分(Hi)、流域盆地不对称度(AF)、河长坡降度(SL)、山前曲折度(Smf)、谷底宽度与谷肩高度的比值(Vf)、盆地形状指数(Bs)等,然后对地貌参数指标等级进行算术平均化(S/n),可得到区域的相对构造活动程度(Iat),分为低、中等、高和较高四类等级.分析结果认为:渭河上游流域相对构造活动程度(Iat)值为1.50,流域相对构造活动程度等级为2级,属于区域活动构造程度高的地区.其中六盘山东麓断裂南端和西秦岭北缘断裂带(天水-武山断裂和漳县断裂)构造活动程度(Iat=1.33)较强,面积约占流域总面积8.79％.而研究区东南部的八渡-虢镇断裂和陇县-岐山断裂构造活动程度中等,反映了晚更新世以来,该区域构造活动减弱.研究结论与野外地质和地貌调查结果一致. 相似文献

作为一种描述地形起伏特征的数据模型,数字高程模型（Digital Elevation Model,DEM）通过有限的地形高程数据实现对地形曲面的数字化模拟（即地形表面形态的数字化表示）,为研究地表的演化过程提供了数据基础。文章归纳梳理了DEM在基本地形因子、流域地貌特征、古地貌面的重塑、构造地貌发育模式、地貌分类与制图以及地形特征提取算法等领域的应用现状。总的来看,DEM研究对象以陆地为重点,以河流地貌和山地地貌为主要内容;研究过程从早期对地貌形态的定性描述向多种地貌参数的半定量、定量分析转变;研究尺度空间上从某个小流域到整个造山带,时间上从数小时向百万年扩展。构造地貌演化时间序列的不确定性、地貌参数获取的复杂性、地形模型算法的多样化以及DEM生成过程中的误差因素,这些均影响构造地貌定量分析结果的准确度,因此在归纳梳理已有研究成果的同时,对DEM在构造地貌研究领域的应用进行了一些思考。 相似文献

Quantifying geological structures of the Nigde province in central Anatolia,Turkey using SRTM DEM data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A. C. Demirkesen 《Environmental Geology》2009,56(5):865-875
A digital terrain model and a 3D fly-through model of the Nigde province in central Anatolia, Turkey were generated and quantitatively
analyzed employing the shuttle radar topographic mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM). Besides, stream drainage patterns,
lineaments and structural–geological features were extracted and analyzed. In the process of analyzing and interpreting the
DEM for landforms, criteria such as color and color tones (attributes of heights), topography (shaded DEM and 3D fly-through
model) and stream drainage patterns were employed to acquire geo-information about the land, such as hydrologic, geomorphologic,
topographic and tectonic structures. In this study, the SRTM DEM data of the study region were experimentally used for both
DEM classification and quantitative analysis of the digital terrain model. The results of the DEM classification are: (1)
low plain including the plains of Bor and Altunhisar (20.7%); (2) high plain including the Misli (Konakli) plain (28.8%);
(3) plateau plain including the Melendiz (Ciftlik) plateau plain (1.0%); (4) mountain including the Nigde massif (33.3%);
and (5) high mountain (16.2%). High mountain areas include a caldera complex of Mt Melendiz, Mt Hasan and Mt Pozanti apart
from the Ala mountains called Aladaglar and the Bolkar mountains called Bolkarlar in the study region (7,312 km2). Analysis of both the stream drainage patterns and the lineaments revealed that the Nigde province has a valley zone called
Karasu valley zone (KVZ) or Nigde valley zone (NVZ), where settlements and agricultural plains, particularly the Bor plain
in addition to settlements of the Bor town and the central city of Nigde have the most flooding risk when a heavy raining
occurs. The study revealed that the NVZ diagonally divides the study region roughly into two equal parts, heading from northeast
to southwest. According to the map created in this study, the right side of the NVZ has more mountainous area, where the Aladaglar
is a wildlife national park consisting of many species of fauna and flora whereas the left side of the NVZ has more agricultural
plain, with exception of a caldera complex of Mt Melendiz and volcanic Mt Hasan. The south of the study region includes the
Bolkarlar. In addition, the Ecemis fault zone (EFZ) lying along the Ecemis rivulet, running from north to south at the west
side of the Aladaglar, forms the most important and sensitive location in the region in terms of the tectonics. 相似文献

The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, located on the southeast boundary of the Tibet Plateau, is the second geomorphologic step in China continent. The large area tilting tectonic deformation occurred in this plateau with the uplift of the Tibet plateau since the Cenozoic. The Beipanjiang River rises in eastern Yunnan Province and southeastward across the slope zone from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Guangxi Plain, and goes into the Hongshui River by the Wangmo in Guizhou Province. Due to the southeastward extrusion by the Tibetan Plateau, deep incised-valleys formed in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which have the characteristics of developed fault, complicated geological structure and rugged terrain. The Cenozoic evolution history of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the response to the uplifting of Tibet Plateau are unclear because of the lack of sedimentation records, and also this has long been a bottleneck to geomorphologic evolution research. Based on DEM data and GIS software, we extracted the geomorphic indexes which included hypsometric integral [HI], drainage basin asymmetry [AF], stream-length gradient index [SL], and valley floor width-to-height ratio [VF]. The results show that four geomorphic indexes can reflect the regional tectonic movement and topographical features. The geomorphology of Beipanjiang Basin is controlled by tectonic action mainly, especially the Yadu-Ziyun Fracture has great impact on the formation of valleys and the development of water system greatly. 相似文献

滇中地块位于青藏高原东南缘,是研究青藏高原东南缘新生代晚期构造变形机制的理想场所. 滇中地块新生代晚期的变形机制主要有“下地壳流”和“刚性块体挤出”两种模式,前者认为地块构造活动分布较为均匀,后者认为构造活动沿断裂带更为强烈. 由于地貌指数对构造活动非常敏感,为厘定研究区新生代晚期的变形机制,基于30 m分辨率的SRTM?3数字高程模型（DEM）提取了滇中地区319个（亚）流域盆地,通过分析获得了面积高程积分曲线及面积高程积分（HI）、流域形状指数（BS）、流域盆地不对称度（AF）、标准化河流阶梯指数（SLK）、谷底宽度与谷间高度比（VF）这5种地貌指数,综合这五种指数得出相对活动构造指数（Iat）,并利用构造地貌指数（Iat）揭示了研究区的相对构造活动分布特征. 研究表明丽江-小金河断裂带、则木河-小江断裂带、红河断裂带及金沙江两侧的Iat值相对较小,其他部位相对较高,这表明滇中地区的构造活动性强的区域主要集中发育在断裂带附近,与“刚性块体挤出”模式相一致. 滇中地块中部的金沙江两侧Iat值相对较低,表明其地貌活动性较强. 这是由于新生代晚期青藏高原东南缘的隆升及河流重组,导致的金沙江及其支流切割力增强,从而造成金沙江两侧HI值、BS值、SLK值增高和VF值降低,使得金沙江两侧Iat值相对较低. 相似文献

基于30 m分辨率DEM数据, 利用ArcGIS10.0对内蒙古狼山东南坡河流流域地貌参数进行提取, 精确计算了其中15条规模较大的北西—南东向河流的面积-高程积分值(HI), 并据此对河流发育阶段以及构造运动进行分析。研究结果显示有8条河流的HI值处于0.3~0.6之间, 属于河流发展的壮年阶段; 7条河流的HI值大于0.6, 为幼年期, 未出现老年期河流。狼山西南部河流河谷V1—V14的HI值变化平缓, 波动幅度不大, 构造运动呈现出先增强后减弱的态势; 中北部河流V14—V22的HI值变化较剧烈, 尤其是V14—V19, 呈明显上升趋势, 河流受侵蚀后残存体积增多, 构造运动活跃性下降; V19以北HI值持续下降, 其构造运动的活跃性增加。由此认为狼山从西南到东北总体呈现增强—减弱—增强的差异性运动状态, 该结论与前人所做山前构造地貌研究结果较为一致。 相似文献

Spatial differences of Quaternary deformation and intensity of tectonic activity are assessed through a detailed quantitative geomorphic study of the fault‐generated mountain fronts and alluvial/fluvial systems around the Maharlou Lake Basin in the Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt of Iran. The Maharlou Lake Basin is defined as an approximately northwest–southeast trending, linear, topographic depression located in the central Zagros Mountains of Iran. The lake is located in a tectonically active area delineated by the Ghareh and Maharlou faults. Combined geomorphic and morphometric data reveal differences between the Ghareh and Maharlou mountain front faults indicating different levels of tectonic activity along each mountain front. Geomorphic indices show a relatively high degree of tectonic activity along the Ghareh Mountain Front in the southwest, in contrast with less tectonic activity along the Ahmadi Mountain Front northeast of the lake which is consistent with field evidence and seismotectonic data for the study area. A ramp valley tectonic setting is proposed to explain the tectonosedimentary evolution of the lake. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Landscapes in tectonically active Hindu Kush（NW Pakistan and NE Afghanistan） result from a complex integration of the effects of vertical and horizontal crustal block motions as well as erosion and deposition processes.Active tectonics in this region have greatly influenced the drainage system and geomorphic expressions.The study area is a junction of three important mountain ranges （Hindu Kush-Karakorum-Himalayas） and is thus an ideal natural laboratory to investigate the relative tectonic activity resulting from the India-Eurasia collision.We evaluate active tectonics using DEM derived drainage network and geomorphic indices hypsometric integral（HI）,stream-length gradient （SL）.fractal dimension（FD）.basin asymmetry factor（AF）.basin shape index（Bs）,valley floor width to valley height ratio（Vf） and mountain front sinuosity(Smf). The results obtained from these indices were combined to yield an index of relative active tectonics （IRAT） using CIS.The average of the seven measured geomorphic indices was used to evaluate the distribution of relative tectonic activity in the study area.We defined four classes to define the degree of relative tectonic activity:class 1 very high（1.0≤IRAT 1.3）;class 2-high（1.3≥IRAT<1.3）:class 3—moderate（1.5≥IRAT<1.8）;and class 4—low（l.8≥1RAT）.In view of the results.we conclude that this combinetl approach allows the identification of the highly deformed areas related to active tectonics.Landsat imagery and held observations also evidence the presence of active tectonics based on the dellected streams,deformed landforms.active mountain fronts and triangular facets.The indicative values of IRAT are consistent with the areas of known relative uplift rates,landforms and geology. 相似文献

The geomorphic studies are extremely dependent on the quality and spatial resolution of digital elevation model(DEM)data.The unique terrain characteristics of a particular landscape are derived from DEM,which are responsible for initiation and development of ephemeral gullies.As the topographic features of an area significantly influences on the erosive power of the water flow,it is an important task the extraction of terrain features from DEM to properly research gully erosion.Alongside,topography is highly correlated with other geo-environmental factors i.e.geology,climate,soil types,vegetation density and floristic composition,runoff generation,which ultimately influences on gully occurrences.Therefore,terrain morphometric attributes derived from DEM data are used in spatial prediction of gully erosion susceptibility(GES)mapping.In this study,remote sensing-Geographic information system(GIS)tech-niques coupled with machine learning(ML)methods has been used for GES mapping in the parts of Semnan province,Iran.Current research focuses on the comparison of predicted GES result by using three types of DEM i.e.Advanced Land Observation satellite(ALOS),ALOS World 3D-30 m(AW3D30)and Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer(ASTER)in different resolutions.For further progress of our research work,here we have used thirteen suitable geo-environmental gully erosion conditioning factors(GECFs)based on the multi-collinearity analysis.ML methods of conditional inference forests(Cforest),Cubist model and Elastic net model have been chosen for modelling GES accordingly.Variable's importance of GECFs was measured through sensitivity analysis and result show that elevation is the most important factor for occurrences of gullies in the three aforementioned ML methods(Cforest=21.4,Cubist=19.65 and Elastic net=17.08),followed by lithology and slope.Validation of the model's result was performed through area under curve(AUC)and other statistical indices.The validation result of AUC has shown that Cforest is the most appropriate model for predicting the GES assessment in three different DEMs(AUC value of Cforest in ALOS DEM is 0.994,AW3D30 DEM is 0.989 and ASTER DEM is 0.982)used in this study,followed by elastic net and cubist model.The output result of GES maps will be used by decision-makers for sustainable development of degraded land in this study area. 相似文献

Tectonic geomorphology of the easternmost extension of the Gulf of Corinth (Beotia, Central Greece) 总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2
The easternmost sector of the Gulf of Corinth, the Beotia area in Central Greece, is an area with active normal faults located between the two major rift structures of Central Greece, the Gulf of Corinth and the North Gulf of Evia. These active normal faults include WNW to E–W and NE to ENE-trending faults affect the landscape and generate basin and range topography within the Beotia. We study four normal fault zones and drainage basin geometry in the easternmost sector of the Gulf of Corinth to document the impact of active tectonics on the landscape evolution. Fault and drainage geometry are investigated based on detailed field mapping and high-resolution digital elevation models. Tectonic geomorphic analysis using several parameters of active tectonics provides information concerning the relative tectonic activity and fault growth. In order to detect areas of lateral stream migration that could indicate recent tectonic activity, the Transverse Topographic Symmetry Factor and the Asymmetry Factor are used to analyse drainage basin geometry in six large drainage basins and a drainage domain covering the study area. Our results show that vertical motions and tilting associated with normal faulting influence the drainage geometry and its development. Values of stream-gradient indices (SL) are relatively high close to the fault traces of the studied fault zones suggesting high activity. Mountain-front sinuosity (Smf) mean values along the fault zones ranges from 1.08 to 1.26. Valley floor width to valley height ratios (Vf) mean values along the studied fault zones range between 0.5 and 1.6. Drainage basin shape (BS) mean values along the fault zones range from 1.08 to 3.54. All these geomorphic parameters and geomorphological data suggest that the analyzed normal faults are highly active. Lateral fault growth was likely produced by primarily eastward propagation, with the WNW to E–W trending faults being the relatively more active structures. 相似文献
