阶地是研究现代河谷形成发育的重要地貌标志,结合年代学研究可以为区域古环境提供丰富的构造、气候和古水文变化信息.通过古地磁、电子自旋共振、光释光及黄土-古土壤地层序列的对比,初步确定渭河上游三阳川盆地1.2Ma以来共发育和保存着13级河流阶地.阶地特征与成因分析表明,阶地是在构造抬升背景下,河流系统对轨道尺度气候变化的响应,侧蚀堆积和深切下蚀作用交替进行.阶地序列的河漫滩顶部大多对应于古土壤层发育,表明河流下切阶地形成主要发生在古土壤开始发育的冰期向间冰期过渡阶段.河流两侧阶地时空展布的差异表明,0.62Ma三阳川盆地发生了构造反转,由过去盆地的整体抬升为主逐渐转变为断陷沉降.综合流域内阶地序列的研究,表明渭河上游现代河谷的形成发育起始于早更新世晚期1.4~1.2Ma.  相似文献

黄河在宁夏沙坡头形成了"几"字形河曲地貌,并在河曲凸岸发育了3级河流阶地。本文针对沙坡头大弯河流阶地特征、阶地年龄,以及大拐弯的成因进行了分析,探讨本区地貌发育的机制。结果表明:(1)沙坡头大弯3级河流阶地形成的主要原因是构造抬升作用,气候变化对此处阶地形成的作用不明显。在区域新构造活动强烈的背景下,约中更新世末期中卫盆地开始抬升,黄河河道被固定,河流下切形成本区的最高阶地T3;约在70kaB.P.、8kaB.P.形成T2、T1阶地。(2)沙坡头黄河大拐弯是由香山—天景山断裂左旋走滑位错,以及水流受地球自转偏向力的河流内生动力共同作用的结果,并且河流的内生动力作用远大于前者的贡献。  相似文献

最近14 Ma青藏高原东北缘阶段性隆升的地貌证据   总被引:33,自引:2,他引:33  
对青藏高原东北缘代表性的河流阶地-风成堆积序列进行了沉积学、地貌学和年代学的综合调查研究, 获得了最近14 Ma以来高原东北缘阶段性隆升的新证据和新认识. 湟水流域西宁-互助地区至少发育了11级典型的河流阶地(除第1级阶地T1外, 全部为基座阶地). 测试了阶地上覆风成黄土-红粘土序列的1030块古地磁样品、16块释光样品和4000多个粉末样品, 结合地貌发育和地层结构分析表明, T11, T10, T8, T7, T3, T2和T1分别形成于距今约14, 11.3, 1.55, 1.2, 0.15, 0.07和0.01 Ma. 基于沉积物分析和地貌发育过程的研究证实, 这里的河流阶地以构造抬升驱动为主, 以气候变化对河流阶地发育的影响为辅. 因此, 西宁盆地的阶地序列指示了14 Ma以来高原东北缘的多次阶段性抬升, 其中, 在距今14, 11.3, 1.2和0.15 Ma的构造抬升是明显的. 青藏高原东北缘西宁-互助地区的河流在中新世数百万年时间内(T11到T9)下切不到100 m, 而在更新世1.2 Ma以来(T7以来)下切了432 m, 指示了该地区在晚新生代后期加速隆升的事实. 湟水流域在1.55~1.2 Ma之间有一次大的水系格局调整. 在此之前, 古河流流向是西偏南, 之后流向为东偏南, 这次水系调整与构造活动有关.  相似文献

构造活跃地区阶地的发育对于分析不同时间域下的构造变形或气候作用具有重要意义。因此,如何利用有效的定量方法提取和精细刻画这类地貌特征显得极为重要。R语言是一种集统计分析和图形显示于一体的优秀编程语言,目前已被广泛应用于医学、生物学等领域,但尚未应用于地质与地貌学领域。文中以海原断裂带景泰—哈思山段的米家山东侧保存较好的多级黄河河流阶地为研究目标,初步尝试基于R语言对Sf M技术获取的高精度地形数据进行分析和可视化,完成了对米家山黄河阶地的半自动提取,共划分出20级河流阶地,同时揭示出较年轻的阶地具有较好的连续性和延伸性,而较老阶地的连续性和延伸性则相对较差,且老阶地变形逐渐趋于明显,阶地年龄越老,其似半抛物线形态的翘曲越明显,反映了米家山东侧多级阶地形成后的不同演化历史。此次试验结果表明R语言有望成为高精度地形数据分析和可视化的有效工具。  相似文献

河流阶地的研究是探索新构造运动的有效方法之一。对滹沱河太行山山峡段进行了详细的阶地测量,结果表明,该河段发育有四级河流阶地,反映了第四纪以来的四次间歇性隆升运动。甲子湾断层使这些阶地错断变形,系舟山-太行山断块隆起沿该断层产生翘起运动。说明太行断块北部地区仍然继承着上新世时期的构造运动特点,目前的区域构造应力状态没有发生根本的变化  相似文献

滇西地区自第四纪以来经过了复杂的构造抬升,其上新世准平原面被差异抬升为不同高度的夷平面。在抬升过程中,怒江的侵蚀作用形成了深切的高山峡谷地貌,并形成了能反映构造抬升过程的多级河流阶地。这种高山峡谷地貌的形成不仅与构造活动有关,还与气候变化有关,但构造活动是主因。通过河流阶地和夷平面的研究能够得到河流阶地特征和差异隆升特征,并能够进一步反演该区的构造活动特征。  相似文献

昆黄运动是发生在中更新世时期青藏高原及其邻区一次重要的构造抬升事件,河流阶地及地层记录能够较好地反映这次构造事件。渭河陇西段第七级阶地沉积了104.5m厚的黄土,通过对其上覆黄土剖面的古地磁、粒度研究表明,此级阶地形成年代为距今870ka,阶地拔河高度说明自中更新世以来地面至少抬升了205m,其抬升速率约为0.2m/ka。这次构造事件在时间上与昆黄运动相一致,是对青藏高原强烈抬升的响应。  相似文献

河流阶地作为构造和气候作用的载体,记录了活动造山带地区的构造活动和气候变化之间的相对变化信息。文中以穿过祁连山北缘活动断裂带的洪水坝河和马营河为例,探讨河流地貌发育与构造和气候之间的关系。基于遥感影像解译识别出8—9级河流阶地,并对其期次进行划分。根据洪水坝河T5和马营河T6阶地的相对拔河高度和年龄,分别计算出2条河流15ka和11ka以来的平均下切速率为(10.2±2.0)mm/a和(12.2±2.8)mm/a。再利用差分GPS分别对2条河流的T5和T6阶地面上的断层陡坎进行精确测量,结合测年结果,计算出佛洞庙-红崖子活动断裂的垂直滑移速率比河流下切速率低1个量级。对比研究区内活动断裂两侧阶地发育序列的差异性,构造抬升和河流下切速率数量级的差别,并结合祁连山北缘区域上已发表的研究结果,初步认为构造活动与气候变化共同影响祁连山北缘河流阶地的发育,其中气候变化是控制该区全新世河流阶地发育的主要因素。更深入的活动构造调查和阶地年龄约束有助于更好地揭示祁连山北缘的活动构造特征和河流演化历史。  相似文献

Where the Yellow River flows through the Haiyuan-Tongxin arc-form tectonic region on the northeastern side of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau, as many as 10~21 basis and erosion terraces have been produced, among which the biggest altitude above river level is 401m and the formation age of the highest terrace is 1.57 Ma B.P. Based on comparative analysis of the Yellow River terraces located separately in the Mijiashan mountain, the Chemuxia gorge, the Heishanxia gorge and the other river terraces in the vast extent of the northern part of China, it has been found that the tectonic processes resulting in the formation of the terrace series is one of multi-gradational features, i.e., a terrace series can include the various terraces produced by tectonic uplifts of different scopes or scales and different ranks. The Yellow River terrace series in the study region can be divided into three grades. Among them, in the first grade there are 6 terraces which were formed separately at the same time in the vast extent of the northern part of China and represent the number and magnitude of uplift of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau since 1.6 Ma B. P. ; in the second grade there are 5 terraces which were separately and simultaneously developed within the Haiyuan-Tianjingshan tectonic region and represent the number and magnitude of uplift of this tectonic region itself since 1.6Ma B. P.; in the third grade there are 10 terraces which developed on the eastern slope of the Mijiashan mountain and represent the number and amplitude of uplift of the Haiyuan tectonic belt itself since 1.6Ma B.P. Comparison of the terrace ages with loess-paleosoil sequence has also showed that the first grade terraces reflecting the vast scope uplifts of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau are very comparable with climatic changes and their formation ages all correspond to the interglacial epochs during which paleosoils were formed. This implies that the vast extent tectonic uplifts resulting in river down-cutting are closely related to the warm-humid climatic periods which can also resnit in river downward erosion after strong dry and cold climatic periods, and they have jointly formed the tectonic-climatic cycles. There exists no unanimous and specific relationship between the formation ages of the second and third grade terraces and climatic changes and it is shown that the formation of those terraces was most mainly controlled by tectonic uplifts of the Tianjingshan block and the Haiyuan belt. The river terraces in the study region, therefore, may belong to 2 kinds of formation cause. One is a tectonic-climatic cyclical terrace produced jointly by vast extent tectonic uplifts and climatic changes, and the terraces of this kind are extensively distributed and can be well compared with each other among regions. Another is a pulse-tectonic cyclical terrace produced by local tectonic uplifts as dominant elements, and their distribution is restricted within an active belt and can not be compared with among regions.  相似文献

Effective river management strategies require an understanding of how fluvial processes vary both spatially and temporally. Here, we examine the natural range of variability in the Conejos River Valley, southern Colorado, through documentation of terrace morphostratigraphic and sedimentological characteristics as well as through investigation of sediment contributions from headwaters, hillslopes and tributary streams. Additionally, soil development and radiocarbon ages, together with local and regional paleoclimate reconstructions, were used to infer the range of processes acting in this system. Since de‐glaciation, the Conejos River has fluctuated between episodes of bedrock strath formation, aggradation and vertical incision. Morphostratigraphic relationships, soil development and radiocarbon ages enable us to propose a chronology for periods of alluvial deposition (around 8·9–7·6 ka, 5·5 ka and from 3·5 to 1·1 ka), separated by intervals of fluvial incision. We infer potential forcing mechanisms by utilizing multiple working hypotheses. Specifically, we discuss the potential for increases in sediment supply during periods of (1) para‐glacial adjustment, (2) climatic cooling, (3) increased frequency of climate change and (4) increased fire frequency or severity. We also consider the effects of changes in stream discharge and extreme storm occurrence. We conclude that combinations of these processes, operating at different times, have contributed to sediment mobilization since de‐glaciation. Stream and landform morphology also varies longitudinally due to the influence of remnant glacial topography. In particular, valley bottom overdeepening at tributary junctions has resulted in incision and strath formation into unlithified glacial deposits (i.e. fill‐cut terraces) rather than bedrock in some reaches. Overall, the Conejos fluvial system has varied significantly both temporally and spatially since de‐glaciation and appears to be sensitive to changes in sediment supply related to Holocene scale climate fluctuations. This natural range of variability must therefore be a key consideration in any future stream management policies. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

As one of the most important regions for early human occupation in East Asia, Nihewan Basin in North China is well-known for an abundance of archaeological sites with ages spanning the last 2 Ma. In recent 10 years, more than 27 new archaeological localities have been discovered from the Yuxian (sub-basin of Nihewan), and all of them are with no age control. The lack of reliable ages for these localities affects our understanding for the evolution of the stone-tool technology in the Nihewan Basin. As many localities were founded in the river terrace, the fluvial terrace sequence of the Huliu River (main river of the Yuxian) was investigated. Based on single-grain post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIRIR) procedure on potassium (K-) feldspar, our results reveal that the formation ages of three Huliu River terraces are 139.6–115.7, 19.7–5.5, and <0.9 ka, respectively. On the basis of these pIRIR ages, the formation of the fluvial terrace sequence may provide informative constraints on the human occupation in the Huliu River terrace in the Nihewan Basin, if a clear stratigraphic correlation is established between the archaeological sites and the dated terrace deposits.  相似文献

河流阶地面是一种时间性、连续性非常高的层状地貌面,利用跨断层地区的河流阶地变形可以定量地判别一个地区的断层活动性。青衣江横跨龙门山断裂带南段是一条区域性大河,由于龙门山南段构造活动强烈且河流阶地被侵蚀程度严重,为了在室内更好、更快地解译青衣江河流阶地,使野外调查工作更具有针对性,本文在龙门山南段青衣江流域小关子至飞仙村一段,采用航测遥感技术制作的2m分辨率DEM和1/5万数字高程模型,基于Arc GIS和MATLAB平台进行了阶地面提取和聚类分析,以模拟野外测量阶地的流程,试图通过计算机提取,快速获取该地区更多的残余地貌面,建立起较为完整的河流阶地纵剖面。研究结果表明:野外测量数据与计算机自动提取结果相似度较高,具有较好的一致性;在完整的阶地剖面中发现了芦山盆地内部阶地具有疑似拱曲现象;在大川-双石断裂附近阶地有翘起现象,推测芦山盆地西缘阶地拱曲是由大川-双石断裂东侧的一条未知断层引起的,大川-双石断裂附近阶地的翘起现象可能是在断层逆冲推覆过程中形成的,同时结合区域年代历史数据,推测该地区(芦山盆地至大川-双石断裂)至少在晚更新世曾发生过构造活动。  相似文献

植物孢子和花粉是理想的恢复环境变化的有机指标,对于第四纪地层划分和区域古气候的对比具有重要意义。本文在川西冕宁泸沽镇附近选取安宁河Ⅰ~Ⅲ级阶地剖面进行年代学测量和孢粉采样分析。结果表明:安宁河Ⅰ级阶形成时期为全新世,气候温和较湿或轻湿;Ⅱ级阶地沉积时期在晚更新世晚期或全新世早期,温度及湿度均比Ⅰ级阶地时低,在该时期无论植被和气候曾出现过两次以上比较明显的变化及波动;Ⅲ级阶地沉积时期为晚更新世中期,气候温和较湿或轻湿,堆积时期之温度及湿度均比Ⅱ级阶地时高,但又均比Ⅰ级阶地时低。同时探讨了安宁河阶地形成时期构造、气候的变化规律。根据河流的下切速率可以间接的推断晚更新世构造隆升速率大于晚更新世末期-全新世。  相似文献

Penhill Farm is an Earlier Stone Age (ESA) Acheulean archaeological site located within the southeastern Cape coastal region of South Africa. Although ESA artifacts have been known for this region since the 1950s, limited archaeological work and an inability to date the terrace context sites have prevented understanding the technological progression from the ESA to Middle Stone Age (MSA) and their placement within the Stone Age chronology of South Africa. Here we use cosmogenic 26Al and 10Be to reveal a two-stage depositional history for a stone tool assemblage recovered from a debris flow deposit, with artifacts dating to ca. 1.1 Ma (million years) incorporated into a debris flow dating to ca. 0.6 Ma, thereby constraining the Penhill Farm Acheulean occupation to the Early Pleistocene.  相似文献

Himalaya is an active fold and thrust belt formed due to continent-continent collision between the Eurasian and Indian plates. It comprises a 3000 km long chain of mountains that span ∼1000 km across, with major boundary thrusts viz., Main Central Thrust (MCT), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). MFT is marked as mountain front and is the most active thrust; however, evidence of tectonic activity along MCT and MBT also exists.Tectonic activity along MFT created uplifted terraces which now serve as geomorphic archives of past tectonic events. The present study focussed on a glacial-fed river Sankosh that originates in northern Bhutan, and crosses MCT, MBT and MFT before joining the Brahmaputra River in Assam. Due to tectonic uplift, the river shows a deflection at MFT, incising and thus forming four levels of strath terraces. Luminescence chronology, geomorphic studies and analysis of satellite images suggest four levels of terraces T4 (highest level, 195 m asl), T3, T2 and T1 (lowest level, 120 m asl).The quartz was found insensitive for luminescence dating, and thus fading corrected Infra-Red Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL) ages on feldspar minerals were measured that provided ages of 143-77 ka (T4), 65-36 ka (T2) and 35-14 ka (T1), respectively. The T3 terrace was present only on the right bank of the river and could not be accessed. These ages accord with other studies at the Chalsa and Malbazar, North Bengal (west of the study area) and this regional disposition of similar ages suggest that these formed during glacial-interglacial periods. The strath terraces indicate a time-averaged tectonic uplift with a 0.5 mm/year rate over the past 150 ka.  相似文献

The actively deformed foreland of eastern Qilian Shan (mountains) contains well‐preserved geomorphic features such as erosion surfaces, river terraces and tectonically uplifted alluvial fans, providing suitable archives for research on regional tectonic activities and palaeoclimatic changes. These geomorphic surfaces are well dated by using a combination of magnetostratigraphy, electron spin resonance, thermoluminescence, infra‐red stimulated luminescence, radiocarbon dating, and correlation with the well‐established loess–palaeosol sequences of China. Our results show that the erosion surface formed about 1·4 Ma ago, and the age of river terraces is 1·24 Ma, 820–860 ka, 780 ka, 420–440 ka, 230–250 ka, 140 ka, 60 ka and 10 ka, respectively. Valley incision rates of c. 0·09–0·25 m ka?1 have been identified. The repetitive stratigraphic and geomorphic pattern of these terraces indicates the fluvial sedimentation–incision cycles are tightly associated with the 100‐ka glacial–interglacial climatic cycles.

A mathematical model was used to examine the effect of Pliocene and Quaternary changes in sea level on the development of tectonically active and inactive rock coasts. The model calculated rates of mechanical wave erosion according to such factors as the deep water wave regime, bottom topography and surface roughness, and the resistance of the rocks. Subaerial terraces were truncated or eliminated by subsequent terrace formation at lower elevations, especially on steeply sloping landmasses experiencing slow rates of uplift. Submarine terraces formed during glacial stillstands were best preserved when rapid subsidence quickly carried them below the level of wave action. On slowly subsiding landmasses, submarine terraces formed during interglacials and glacial periods experienced repeated erosional modification during subsequent periods of rising and falling sea level and were generally less distinctive. On rapidly rising or subsiding (>5 mm yr‐1) landmasses, terraces that formed during interglacial stages alternated, above and below present sea level, with terraces formed during glacial stages. Despite some differences in terrace occurrence and elevational distribution, it may be difficult to distinguish profiles cut during accelerating or decelerating uplift. The amount of erosion during sea level oscillations increases with oscillation amplitude and the larger oscillations in the middle to late Quaternary were therefore more conducive to erosion than the smaller oscillations of the Pliocene and early Quaternary. The effect of oscillation amplitude may have been countered during the earlier stages of profile development, however, by steeper submarine gradients and reduced rates of wave attenuation.
