综合利用洋脊轴部的深拖侧扫声纳资料和轴外的水深数据,研究了超慢速扩张的西南印度洋洋脊处洋壳增生过程的瞬时变化。在洋脊各段的侧扫声纳图像中可以观察到轴部火山洋脊的长度与高度的差异,及这些火山建造不同的变形程度。这些差异是由于轴部火山洋脊处于其生命演化周期的不同发育阶段,包括火山建造期和构造裂解期。利用轴外侧的水深数据确定了每个洋脊段中许多大小均匀的深海丘陵。这些深海丘陵均显示不对称的形状,面向轴部为陡峭的断层崖,背向轴部为平缓倾斜的火山岩斜坡。这些深海丘陵是被运移到两翼的、已被裂解的早期轴部火山洋脊的残留,它们形成于连续的岩浆建造期和构造裂解期之中,即一个岩浆-构造旋回。在厚地壳的洋脊区段观察到大型深海丘陵,而在薄地壳的洋脊区段观察到小型深海丘陵。这说明岩浆供给量控制着深海丘陵的大小。在薄地壳的洋脊区段,深海丘陵有规律地等间隔排列,表明岩浆一构造循环的伪周期性过程持续约0．4ma,比厚地壳的洋脊区段的周期时间短4～6倍。我们认为,有规律的深海丘陵样式与长寿命洋脊段下部几乎恒定的岩浆持续供给有关。相比之下,在岩浆供给急剧减少并极不连续的情况下,不再存在有规律的深海丘陵样式。 相似文献

西南印度洋洋中脊(SWIR)是超慢速扩张洋脊的代表,是海洋地学研究热点.本文从SWIR多波束水深数据、重、磁数据和地震结构等几方面,阐述了SWIR热液活动区(49°39′E)的综合地质地球物理特征.SWIR热液活动不仅与扩张速率有关,构造作用更是一个重要控制因素;热液活动区位于Indomed和Gallieni转换断层之间,从水深地形上看,该区段洋脊是SWIR上水深最浅的区域之一,水深与MBA存在良好的镜像关系,MBA和RMBA低值意味着较厚的地壳厚度与较高的地幔温度,洋脊段27地壳厚度大于9km,可能是受到Crozet热点的影响;磁条带数据表明,此区段洋脊南北两翼呈不对称扩张,形成南翼的浅离轴域比北翼宽;在洋脊段28发现的活动热液喷口刚好位于热液蚀变形成的低磁强区内,具有良好的硫化物资源.这些认识必将为在该区首次实施的三维地震探测研究的地质地球物理解释及活动热液喷口的动力学机制研究打下坚实基础. 相似文献

超慢速扩张西南印度洋中脊岩浆的集中供给在空间维度上表现为岩浆扩张段（NVR）与相邻的非转换断层不连续带（NTD）地壳结构的差异，而在时间维度上表现为离轴与沿轴地壳结构的差异.为了进一步揭示岩浆集中供给的时空分布特征，本文选取西南印度洋中脊热液区2010年海底地震仪深部探测中平行于洋中脊距轴部偏北约10 km的离轴测线d0d10，使用射线追踪正演和反演的方法，得到了NVR和NTD北侧离轴区域的地壳及上地幔P波速度结构，并与轴部速度结构进行了对比分析.研究结果表明：（1）NTD北侧离轴区域的地壳厚度约5.2 km，其厚度明显大于轴部NTD下方地壳厚度（~3.2 km），由此推测洋脊轴部NTD区域形成的地壳在不断减薄；（2）NVR北侧离轴区域的地壳厚度约7.0 km，其厚度亦大于轴部NVR地壳厚度（~5.8 km），表明在洋中脊演化过程中洋脊轴区域的岩浆供给在不断减少，其活动性在不断减弱. 相似文献

超慢速扩张的Mohns洋中脊共轭两侧的地球物理场与地壳结构具有显著的非对称性.利用我国第五次北极科学考察采集的水深、重力与磁力数据，结合历史资料，我们计算了14条垂直Mohns洋中脊剖面的扩张速率、剩余水深、剩余地幔布格重力异常（RMBA）、地壳厚度和非均衡地形.对洋中脊共轭两侧以上计算结果的进一步对比发现，Mohns洋中脊两侧整体（下文均指同一地质时刻各剖面的平均值）的非对称性呈现明显的两段性：20~10.5 Ma，相比Mohns洋中脊东侧，西侧的扩张速率更慢、地壳更厚、非均衡地形更低；10.5~0 Ma，扩张速率、地壳厚度和非均衡地形的非对称的极性与20~10.5 Ma期间完全相反.后一阶段，整体扩张速率在西侧更快、剩余水深更浅，但是对应更薄的地壳和更高的非均衡地形.我们推断前者为冰岛沿Kolbeinsey洋中脊的作用增厚了Mohns洋中脊西侧地壳并使得洋中脊向西侧跳动，而后一阶段反映了岩浆供给减少后西侧集中的构造活动导致的更多的拉伸与隆升.沿各剖面上，10.5~0 Ma期间构造活动集中的洋中脊西侧均具有薄地壳和高非均衡地形，但构造拉伸的增加并不总是对应增快的扩张速率.岩浆在浅部更多地向东侧的分配以及洋中脊向西侧的跳动可能使得东西两侧具有相近的扩张速率. 相似文献

洋中脊速度结构是揭示大洋岩石圈演化过程的重要约束.为探讨不同扩张速率下洋中脊的洋壳速度结构特征,挑选了全球152处快速(全扩张速率 90mm·a-1)、慢速(全扩张速率20～50mm·a-1)和超慢速(全扩张速率20mm·a-1)扩张洋中脊和非洋中脊的洋壳1-D地震波速度结构剖面,通过筛选统计、求取平均值等方法对分类的洋壳1-D速度结构进行对比研究,获得了不同扩张速率下洋中脊洋壳速度结构差异以及洋中脊与非洋中脊洋壳速度结构差异的新认识:(1)快速、慢速和超慢速扩张洋中脊的平均正常洋壳厚度分别为6.4km、7.2km和5.3km,其中洋壳层2的厚度基本相似,洋壳厚度差异主要源自洋壳层3;其洋壳厚度变化范围分别为4.9～8.1km、4.6～8.7km和4.2～10.2km,随着洋中脊扩张速率减小,洋壳厚度的变化范围逐渐增大;(2)快速扩张洋中脊的洋壳速度大于慢速和超慢速,可能与快速扩张脊洋壳生成过程中深部高密度岩浆上涌比较充足有关;(3)非洋中脊(10Ma)的洋壳比洋中脊(10Ma)的洋壳厚～0.3km,表明洋壳厚度与洋壳年龄有一定的正相关性. 相似文献

为了验证西南印度洋中脊50°E区域的残留熔融体与8~11 Ma前的岩浆供给活动的相关性,用有限元方法对洋壳模型进行热力学数值计算,以期解答超慢速洋中脊热液活动是由于古岩浆房长期持续供热,还是依赖周边热点提供持续的岩浆和热融熔问题.实验模拟了水平层状洋壳模型和地震试验得到的实际洋壳模型两种情况,对水平层状洋壳模型研究了上地幔有、无持续岩浆供给两种情况,对实际洋壳模型研究了一次岩浆供给的情况.结论如下:如果洋壳层底部没有持续热供应,岩浆房持续时间约为数千年或数万年;西南印度洋中脊中东段隆起区的热液活动和岩浆房最多持续存在0.8 Ma,现今热液活动的热源并不是8~11 Ma前的岩浆供给提供的. 相似文献

南海中央次海盆残余扩张脊的深部地震探测对于研究南海的形成演化和动力学机制至关重要.本文借助拉布拉多海残余扩张脊内部结构的研究,获得了扩张脊在扩张期和扩张后形成过程的认识.并从多个方面将拉布拉多海与南海进行对比分析,对残余扩张脊的形成环境和形成机制等得到了一些初步认识:两者同属于慢速扩张,扩张过程中,构造作用占主导地位,岩浆作用次之,扩张脊内部结构具有相似性;海盆扩张时期,两者都发生了洋脊跃迁,指示了重要了构造事件;两者的大陆边缘同属于非火山型不对称被动大陆边缘,海盆扩张初期岩石圈以拉张为主,岩浆活动较弱等.这些认识必将为南海中央次海盆残余扩张脊的内部结构研究以及后期的地质解释提供思路和依据. 相似文献

大洋中脊玄武岩磁性研究是了解洋脊磁异常机理和洋壳圈层结构等基础科学问题的重要手段,但由于深海样品采集难度较大,岩浆后期氧化和热液蚀变如何改变岩石磁性至今仍然是研究的瓶颈.本文从磁性矿物类型、岩石磁性能和磁性颗粒特征等方面概述了大洋中脊玄武岩的岩石磁性特征,其主要的磁性矿物是钛磁铁矿,平均居里温度274℃,具有较高的Q比.这表明在磁法勘探正演与资料解释过程中,不能忽视岩石剩余磁化和感应磁化的共同作用,通过重点对比分析超慢速扩张西南印度洋中脊的玄武岩磁性特征,认为该区的岩石磁性研究将为磁法勘探提供约束务件,同时有望基于岩石磁性研究,在热液蚀变过程定量化研究,与超慢速扩张洋中脊下地壳演化模型等研究方面取得突破. 相似文献

洋中脊及邻区洋盆的洋壳厚度能很好地反映区域岩浆补给特征,对于研究洋中脊内部及周缘岩浆活动和构造演化过程具有很好的指示意义.西北印度洋中脊作为典型的慢速扩张洋中脊,其扩张过程与周缘构造活动具有很强的时空关系.本文利用剩余地幔布格重力异常反演了西北印度洋洋壳厚度,由此分析区域内洋壳厚度分布和岩浆补给特征.研究发现,西北印度洋洋壳平均厚度为7.8 km,受区域构造背景影响厚度变化较大.根据洋壳厚度的统计学分布特征,将区域内洋壳分为三种类型:薄洋壳(小于4.5 km)、正常洋壳(4.5~6.5 km)和厚洋壳(大于6.5 km),根据西北印度洋中脊周缘(~40 Ma内)洋壳厚度变化特征可将洋中脊划分为5段,发现洋中脊洋壳厚度受区域构造活动和地幔温度所控制,其中薄洋壳主要受转换断层影响造成区域洋壳厚度减薄,而厚洋壳主要受地幔温度和地幔柱作用影响,并在S4洋中脊段显示出较强的热点与洋中脊相互作用,同时微陆块的裂解和漂移也可能是导致洋壳厚度差异的原因之一. 相似文献

SeaBeam multibeam bathymetry obtained during cruise SO-69 of research vessel (R/V) Sonne defines the segmentation and structure of ∼ 300 km of the Mariana back-arc spreading center south of the Pagan fracture zone at 17°33'N. Eight ridge segments, ranging from 14 to 64 km in length, are displaced as much as 2.7–14.5 km by both right- (predominantly) and left-lateral offsets and transform faults. An axial ridge commonly occupies the middle portion of the rift valley and rises from 200 to 700 m above the adjacent sea floor, in places shoaling to a water depth of 3200 m. An exception is the 60-km-long segment between 16°58' and 17°33'N where single peaks only a few tens of meters high punctuate the rift axis. Photographic evidence and rock samples reveal the presence of mostly pillow lavas outcropping on the axial ridges or peaks whereas the deeper parts of the rift valley floor (max. depth 4900 m) are heavily to totally sedimented. Abundant talus ramps along fault scarps testify to ongoing disruption of the crust. Lozenge-shaped collapse structures are covered by layers of sediment up to tens of centimeters thick on the rift valley floor. The presence of discrete volcanic ridges in the southern Mariana back-arc spreading region suggests that emplacement of oceanic crust at this slow spreading center occurs by `multi-site' injection of magma. Along-axis variations in length, crestal depth, and size of the axial ridges can be best explained by different stages in the cyclicity of magma supply along-axis. 相似文献

Specific features of the bottom topography structure and the character of morphostructural segmentation of the rift zone of
the Reykjanes Ridge change substantially along the ridge strike with increasing distance from Iceland’s hotspot. A clearly
pronounced regularity of changes is observed in the rift zone’s morphology from the axial uplift (in the northern part of
the ridge) to the rift valleys (in the southern part of the ridge) through an intermediate or transitional type of morphology.
The results of numerical modeling showed that changes in the rift zone’s morphology along the Reykjanes Ridge strike are largely
caused by changes in the degree of mantle heating and depend on the intensity of magma supply. It is shown that under conditions
of ultraslow spreading, it is these parameters that control the presence or absence of crustal magma chambers, as well as
the thickness of the effectively-elastic layer of the axial lithosphere. The experimental modeling of topography-forming deformations
and structuring on the Reykjanes Ridge showed that under oblique extension, specific features of the formation of axial fractures
and the character of their segmentation mainly depend on the thickness of the axial lithosphere, its heating zone width, and
the kinematics of spreading. The experiments also showed that the tendency of fractures to develop obliquely to the extension
axis is caused by the action of the inclined zone of the location of the deformation, and shear deformations play a substantial
role in the lithosphere’s destruction as the inclination angle increases. 相似文献

Bathymetry, gravity and deep-tow sonar image data are used to define the segmentation of a 400 km long portion of the ultraslow-spreading Knipovich Ridge in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, Northeast Atlantic Ocean. Discrete volcanic centers marked by large volcanic constructions and accompanying short wavelength mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) lows generally resemble those of the Gakkel Ridge and the easternmost Southwest Indian Ridge. These magmatically robust segment centers are regularly spaced about 85-100 km apart along the ridge, and are characterized by accumulated hummocky terrain, high relief, off-axis seamount chains and significant MBA lows. We suggest that these eruptive centers correspond to areas of enhanced magma flux, and that their spacing reflects the geometry of underlying mantle upwelling cells. The large-scale thermal structure of the mantle primarily controls discrete and focused magmatism, and the relatively wide spacing of these segments may reflect cool mantle beneath the ridge. Segment centers along the southern Knipovich Ridge are characterized by lower relief and smaller MBA anomalies than along the northern section of the ridge. This suggests that ridge obliquity is a secondary control on ridge construction on the Knipovich Ridge, as the obliquity changes from 35° to 49° from north to south, respectively, while spreading rate and axial depth remain approximately constant. The increased obliquity may contribute to decreased effective spreading rates, lower upwelling magma velocity and melt formation, and limited horizontal dike propagation near the surface. We also identify small, magmatically weaker segments with low relief, little or no MBA anomaly, and no off-axis expression. We suggest that these segments are either fed by lateral melt migration from adjacent magmatically stronger segments or represent smaller, discrete mantle upwelling centers with short-lived melt supply. 相似文献

台北盆地位于台湾造山带的北部,它的形成有其特殊的机制而不同于一般意义上由于造山带的垮塌直接导致的盆地。钻井、地震勘探等资料表明,控制盆地形成的山脚断层并不是一条完整的正断层,而是由 3个段落组成,每个段落控制 1个沉积中心,彼此之间没有沟通。山脚断层各段落的活动性并不相同,向NE方向随时间逐渐增强,目前最为活动的段落集中在中段和北段,南段已不活动。台北盆地并不是一个孤立发育的盆地,是与金山断层东南的大屯火山群同时陷落的,具有一致的地球物理场背景、沉降规模以及正断层活动,广义的台北盆地从沉降范围和机制上还应该包括金山断层以南的大屯火山群。盆地周围发育了一系列的火山 (群),由于盆地的发育是紧随这些火山主要活动之后的,盆地的形成与周围火成活动有着必然联系,一些地球物理资料和盆地内的构造发育及沉积迁移特征表明,台北盆地的发育是深部岩浆体的冷却收缩所致。台北盆地深部存在与大屯火山群深部相通的岩浆体,岩浆体的冷却由南向北迁移 相似文献

Despite a spreading rate of 65–70 km Ma−1, the East Scotia Ridge has, along most of its length, a form typically associated with slower rates of sea floor spreading. This may be a consequence of cooler than normal mantle upwelling, which could be a feature of back-arc spreading. At the northern end of the ridge, recently acquired sonar data show a complex, rapidly evolving pattern of extension within 100 km of the South Sandwich Trench. New ridge segments appear to be nucleating at or near the boundary between the South American and Scotia Sea plates and propagating southwards, supplanting older segments. The most prominent of these, north of 56°30′S, has been propagating at a rate of approximately 60 km Ma−1 for at least 1 Ma, and displays a morphology unique on this plate boundary. A 40 km long axial high exists at the centre of this segment, forming one of the shallowest sections of the East Scotia Ridge. Beneath it, seismic reflection profiles reveal an axial magma chamber, or AMC, reflector, similar to those observed beneath the East Pacific Rise and Valu Fa Ridge. Simple calculations indicate the existence here of a narrow (<1 km wide) body of melt at a depth of approximately 3 km beneath the sea floor. From the topographic and seismic data, we deduce that a localised mantle melting anomaly lies beneath this segment. Rates of spreading in the east Scotia Sea show little variation along axis. Hence, the changes in melt supply are related to the unique tectonic setting, in which the South American plate is tearing to the east, perhaps allowing mantle flow around the end of the subducting slab. Volatiles released from the torn plate edge and entrained in the flow are a potential cause of the anomalous melting observed. A southward mantle flow may have existed beneath the axis of the East Scotia Ridge throughout its history. 相似文献

The unusual petrological diversity of abyssal lavas erupted along some segments of the Galapagos spreading center is a direct consequence of the propagation (elongation) of these segments into older oceanic crust. With increasing distance behind propagating rift tips, relatively unfractionated MORB erupted close to the tips are joined first by FeTi basalts (bimodal assemblage) and then by a wide range of basaltic and siliceous lavas. Further behind propagating rift tips, this broad range diminishes again, approaching the narrow compositional range of adjacent normal ridge segments.These compositional variations reflect the evolution of the subaxial magmatic system beneath the newly forming spreading center as it propagates through a pre-existing plate. We envisage this evolution as proceeding from small, isolated, ephemeral magma chambers through increasing numbers of larger, increasingly interconnected chambers to the steady-state buffered system of a normal ridge. Throughout this evolution, magma supply rates gradually increase and cooling rates of crustal magma bodies decrease. High degrees of crystal fractionation are favored only when a delicate balance between cooling rate and resupply rate of primitive magma is achieved.At other propagating and non-propagating ridge-transform intersections the degree to which the balance is achieved and the length of ridge over which it evolves control the distribution of fractionated lavas. These effects may be evaluated provided a number of tectonic variables including transform length, spreading and propagation rates are taken into account. 相似文献

Numerical models show that maximum dike width at oceanic spreading centers should scale with axial lithospheric thickness if the pre-diking horizontal stress is close to the Andersonian normal faulting stress and the stress is fully released in one dike intrusion. Dikes at slow-spreading ridges could be over 5 m wide and maximum dike width should decrease with increasing plate spreading rate. However, data from ophiolites and tectonic windows into recently active spreading ridges show that mean dike width ranges from 0.5 m to 1.5 m, and does not clearly correlate with plate spreading rate. Dike width is reduced if either the pre-diking horizontal stress difference is lower than the faulting stress or the stress is not fully released by a dike. Partial stress release during a dike intrusion is the more plausible explanation, and is also consistent with the fact that dikes intrude in episodes at Iceland and Afar. Partial stress release can result from limited magma supply when a crustal magma chamber acts as a closed source during dike intrusions. Limited magma supply sets the upper limit on the width of dikes, and multiple dike intrusions in an episode may be required to fully release the axial lithospheric tectonic stress. The observation of dikes that are wider than a few meters (such as the recent event in Afar) indicates that large tectonic stress and large magma supply sometimes exist. 相似文献

西南印度洋中脊为典型的超慢速扩张洋中脊，其岩浆补给具有不均匀分布的特征.洋壳厚度是洋中脊和热点岩浆补给的综合反映，因此反演洋壳厚度是研究大尺度洋中脊和洋盆岩浆补给过程的一种有效方法.本文通过对全球公开的自由空气重力异常、水深、沉积物厚度和洋壳年龄数据处理得到剩余地幔布格重力异常，并反演西南印度洋地区洋壳厚度，定量地分析了西南印度洋的洋壳厚度分布及其岩浆补给特征.研究发现，西南印度洋洋壳平均厚度7.5 km，但变化较大，标准差可达3.5 km，洋壳厚度的频率分布具有双峰式的混合偏态分布特征.通过分离双峰统计的结果，将西南印度洋洋壳厚度分为0~4.8 km的薄洋壳、4.8~9.8 km的正常洋壳和9.8~24 km的厚洋壳三种类型，洋中脊地区按洋壳厚度变化特征可划分为7个洋脊段.西南印度洋地区薄洋壳受转换断层控制明显，转换断层位移量越大，引起的洋壳减薄厚度越大，减薄范围与转换断层位移量不存在明显相关性.厚洋壳主要受控于该区众多的热点活动，其中布维热点、马里昂热点和克洛泽热点的影响范围分别约340 km，550 km和900 km.Andrew Bain转换断层北部外角形成厚的洋壳，具有与快速扩张洋中脊相似的转换断层厚洋壳特征. 相似文献

The distributions of crustal depths as a function of age have been analysed for the southeast Pacific region, along the East Pacific Rise, between the Equator and the Easter microplate (23°S). Using age data and a new compilation of bathymetric data, subsidence rates (for both eastern and western flanks), asymmetry of subsidence and zero-age depths, are computed within flow-line corridors on the Nazca and Pacific plates. Variations of subsidence rates, axial depths and subsidence asymmetry are examined both in space (within corridors) and time (within several age intervals). The variability in these parameters along the strike of the East Pacific Rise is systematic and serves to define several orders of ridge segmentation. The largest variations of these parameters are correlated with the large-scale segmentation of the ridge axis (i.e. transform faults and very large overlapping spreading centres) and are interpreted as related to variations in mantle heterogeneities mainly dependent upon temperature. Smaller variations of subsidence parameters are correlated with second- (and sometimes third-) order segmentation of the ridge axis, which could be related to variations in axial magmatic supply. Across-strike variations of subsidence suggest the existence of small lateral temperature and density variations in the mantle. When analysing the slope of the distribution of depth versus square root of age within corridors, we have observed the existence of changes in the slope which occur at specific age limits. We have estimated the subsidence over different age ranges in order to determine the temporal evolution of subsidence parameters (rates and asymmetry). Such an analysis may inform on the past axial segmentation and on the persistence of axial discontinuities in time. A linear relationship between subsidence rates and axial depths is determined for each age range and suggests that shallower segments subside faster than deeper segments. Although a similar, statistically defined linear relationship exists for any mid-ocean spreading ridge (both for intermediate or fast–ultrafast spreading), the resultant slopes of this relationship vary from ocean to ocean and show that this relationship is not universal over all oceans. 相似文献
