针对太平洋大型横波低速带(Large Low Shear Velocity Province, 简写为LLSVP)东部边界的D″各向异性强度的问题, 利用中美洲和南美洲部分台站的地震记录, 通过对SKS和SKKS震相进行横波分裂分析, 得到22个SKS-SKKS震相对的横波分裂结果, 其中有6个震相对存在显著差异. 对比分析震相对的横波分裂结果差异, 可以保守地估计D″各向异性. 横波分裂结果显示, 地幔最下部存在各向异性; 对D″各向异性成因的分析结果认为, 如果LLSVP边界上的地幔最下部物质存在变形以及内部存在小尺度的非均匀体, 则有助于解释这些观测, 但是本文在LLSVP边界上并没有看到大量的有差异震相对聚集. 结合前人的观测研究推测, 该研究区域下方的LLSVP及其周围地幔的边界可能不是很陡峭, 边界附近没有积累强烈的变形, 并在此基础上讨论了地幔最下部各向异性结构的研究意义. 相似文献

地震层析成像研究清晰给出了地球深部俯冲板片的大尺度形态,但与俯冲过程相关的地幔流动特征仍不明确.在俯冲地幔楔系统中,前人观测到了与海沟平行和垂直的快波偏振方向.本文研究了西北太平洋俯冲板片在地幔过渡带中停滞形成的"大地幔楔"中的各向异性特征.对具有长期稳定观测数据的MDJ台站SKS震相和区域深源地震的直达S波震相进行了详细的剪切波分裂研究.采用多波形同时反演方法在保证数据后方位角覆盖范围的基础上得到了更加精确的SKS震相各向异性结果.剪切波分裂参数具有明显的频率依赖性和随初始极化方向变化的特征,表明台站下方存在多个可能的各向异性源区.对不同频段各向异性观测结果的双层各向异性模型拟合表明,上层各向异性参数为φ=32°±12°,δt=1.4±0.4 s,表现出受郯庐断裂带影响的岩石圈中"固化"各向异性特征;下层各向异性参数为φ=-71°±6°,δt=2.4±0.4 s,与海沟近乎垂直.下层较大的各向异性延时表明研究区域的地幔楔和地幔过渡带中存在明显各向异性,推测是由地幔中软流圈流动引起的橄榄石晶格优势取向和停滞的西北太平洋板片引起的地幔水平流动产生的瓦兹利石晶格优势取向共同作用所导致. 相似文献

地震波在穿过地幔底部(即D"层)时表现出很明显的各向异性特征(地震波速度随着方位角变化而变化)[1-5].D"层各向异性的形成机制一般认为是由D"层的主要相变矿物MgSiO3-post-perovskite (ppv),由于形变导致晶体的晶格定向排列引起的.如果这种解释机制正确的话,那么先前从单个方向测量D"层的各向异性来推断ppv晶体的滑动机制就是不充分的,因为ppv晶体是正交晶系.我们根据美洲北部和中部地区在核-幔边界处仍残留着俯冲海洋板块的残片[6]的构造特点,挑选了穿过D"层的浅震和深震,来增加射线在D"层的方位覆盖,处理得到美洲北部和中部D"层的各向异性.我们分别处理了穿过3个研究区的D"层的700多个剪切波波形数据,每一次同时处理来自两个不同方位的震相,研究发现,先前假设的垂直对称轴的横向各向同性(波速不随方位的变化而变化)[2-3,7]机制是不可能的,需要引入更复杂的机制.我们将MgSiO3-ppv多种形变机制和观测结果进行对比,发现在(001)面上的剪切与观测到的数据和俯冲带的核-幔边界处剪切形变的预期结果相吻合.利用新的地幔流动模型及改善后的ppv滑移系的实验观测确定方法,我们可以对核-幔边界的形变特征进行成像,将D"层中的动力过程(比如,地幔柱的形成)与地幔的其他部位联系起来. 相似文献

利用收集到的各种来源共计7 959组的地震各向异性观测数据和21 750组应力场数据,结合板块绝对运动模型计算给出的各板块的运动规律,分别统计分析了板块运动与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性,并对板块运动对地震各向异性及应力场特征产生的影响进行了分析． 统计结果表明,阿拉伯、 加勒比、 胡安德富卡、 北美、 纳兹卡、 太平洋和南美板块上地震各向异性与板块运动均具有较好的相关性,而非洲、 南极洲、 澳大利亚、 欧亚、 印度和菲律宾板块上二者的相关性则相对较差. 讨论分析发现,板块运动拖动软流圈流动、 橄榄岩晶格优选方位、 化石各向异性和地幔流动或岩石圈流动等因素均在一定程度上控制并影响着地震各向异性与板块运动的一致性． 而板块基底拖曳力、 洋脊推力、 浮力作用和碰撞及俯冲作用等多种因素共同制约了板块运动与应力场的相关性,使得非洲、 可可斯、 欧亚、 胡安德富卡、 北美、 纳兹卡、 菲律宾和南美板块上二者的相关性较好,其它板块上其相关性则较差． 对于俯冲带地区,由于俯冲机制的复杂性和软流圈、 岩石圈地幔流动方向的不确定性,其板块运动与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性图像表现复杂,需要结合具体的俯冲带构造进行近一步研究． 相似文献

岩石圈各向异性主要由上地幔矿物晶格优势排列方向和上地壳内裂缝、裂隙的定向分布造成.在各向异性特征显著区域,利用SKS震相剪切波分裂获得的延迟时间高达1.5s以上.本文根据方位各向异性,利用广义反射透射系数矩阵方法正演S波接收函数,研究各向异性对不同反方位角接收函数转换震相走时的影响.我们发展了基于HTI模型各向异性走时校正的方法,成功的在单层和多层(快轴方向相同或不同)的各向异性介质中对齐不同反方位角接收函数的Moho面和LAB的转换震相走时.我们将该方法应用于在青藏高原东北缘的流动台站,试图在各向异性强度较大区域对实测数据转换震相走时的校正效果进行测试.结果表明:各向异性走时校正能够加强单台接收函数转换震相的可追踪性,能量增强的叠后转换震相在时深转换后更利于对界面深度的识别与判断;在考虑三维成像的情况下,我们的各向异性校正方法对提高成像结果的准确性有重要意义. 相似文献

本文利用中国国家数字地震台网(CDSN)和国际数字地震台网(FDSN)的宽频带远震资料,采用S和ScS震相剪切波差异分裂方法对东南亚下方核幔边界D″层地震各向异性进行研究.共获得了来自7个深震(400km)的24对高质量的S和ScS剪切波分裂参数,其中S震相的分裂参数与前人上地幔各向异性研究结果十分吻合,表明S震相观测结果反映了观测台站下方的上地幔各向异性.通过对上地幔各向异性校正后的波形数据进行进一步的分裂参数分析,最后得到了24个可靠的ScS剩余各向异性分裂参数.结果显示,在经度107°~112°范围内分裂参数均为空值(Null);而在该经度范围东西两侧区域,主要表现为明显分裂特征.这种分裂参数的分布指示了核幔边界D″层的各向异性特征的区域变化,我们推测这种变化可能与停滞在核幔边界的古特提斯和/或古太平洋俯冲板块相关. 相似文献

The D″ layer, located at the bottom of the mantle, is an active thermochemical boundary layer. The upwelling of mantle plumes, as well as possible plate subduction in the D″ layer, could lead to large-scale material transformation and mineral deformation, which could result in significant seismic anisotropy. However, owing to limited observations and immense computational cost, the anisotropic structures and geodynamic mechanisms in the D″ layer remain poorly understood. In this study, we proposed a new inversion method for the seismic anisotropy in the D″ layer quantitatively with shear wave splitting intensities. We first proved the linearity of the splitting intensities under the ray-theory assumption. The synthetic tests showed that, with horizontal axes of symmetry and ray incidences lower than 30º in the D″ layer (typical SKS phase), the anisotropy is well resolved. We applied the method to the measured dataset in Africa and Western Europe, and obtained strong D″ anisotropy in the margins of the large low shear-wave velocity provinces and subducting slabs. The new method makes it possible to obtain D″ anisotropy, which provides essential constraints on the geodynamical processes at the base of the mantle. 相似文献

It has been hypothesised that seismic and electrical anisotropy at the base of the lithosphere are caused by strain-induced lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine [100] axes parallel to present-day plate motion. This would imply that seismic and electrical anisotropy observations can provide geodynamicists with fundamental information for characterising mantle flow. The qualitative agreement between the fast direction of SV-waves and direction of maximum electrical conductance modelled deeper than 150 km below the North Central craton of Australia appear to support a common alignment mechanism, and the observed, anisotropic electrical conductances can be generated by hydrogen diffusivity in a water-poor (<1000 ppm H/Si) olivine mantle. A quantitative test is proposed for the hypothesis that electrical anisotropy is generated by anisotropic hydrogen diffusion rates (D) in olivine. Electrical anisotropy factors are computed using random resistor network models assuming that D[100]≈20×D[010]≈40×D[001]. Electrical and seismic anisotropies calculated from olivine LPO angular distribution functions modelled for a range of shear strains under a simple shear deformation demonstrate that the intensity of olivine [100] alignments (and associated shear strains) that would be required to explain the electrical anisotropy in the mantle below central Australia are significantly greater than predicted by Rayleigh wave anisotropies. The poor agreement between the observed electrical anisotropies and the electrical anisotropies that would be predicted from the Rayleigh wave anisotropies indicates that either (i) electrical anisotropy in the upper mantle below central Australia is not generated by hydrogen diffusivity alone or (ii) the seismic anisotropy is underestimated. The orientation of the olivine [100] axes maxima is inferred to be ∼30° rotated relative to the direction of present-day absolute plate motion (APM) that is determined relative to the hotspot reference frame (HS2-NUVEL1). Both the APM direction that is determined relative to a reference frame defined by requiring no-net rotation of the lithosphere (NNR-NUVEL1) and GPS-derived plate motion vectors fit the geophysical observations of upper mantle anisotropy better. This may support the contention that hotspots are not stationary relative to the deep mantle. 相似文献

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PREFERRED ORIENTATION(CPO) OF ANISOTROPIC MINERALS IN THE LITHOSPHERE AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE STUDY OFLITHOSPHERE DYNAMICS 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Seismic anisotropy has been widely used to constrain deformation and mantle flow within the upper mantle of the Earth's interior, and is mainly affected by crystallographic preferred orientation(CPO)of anisotropic mineral in lithosphere. Anisotropy of peridotites caused by deformation is the main source of seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle. Olivine is the most abundant and easily deformed mineral to form CPO in peridotite, thus the CPO of olivine controls seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle. Based on simple shear experiments and studies of natural peridotites deformation, several CPO types of olivine have been identified, including A, B, C, D, E and AG-type. Studies on the deformation of olivine have shown that the CPO of olivine is mainly related to stress, water content, temperature, pressure, partial melting and melt/fluid percolation. Most of the seismic anisotropy has been explained by the A-type olivine CPO in the upper mantle, which is commonly found in upper-mantle peridotites and produced by the simple shear in dry conditions. Previous studies showed that anisotropy was attributed to the CPO of mica and amphibole in the middle-lower crust. The comparison between mantle anisotropy calculated from mineral CPO and regional anisotropy deduced from geophysical methods is therefore particularly useful for interpreting the deformation mechanisms and geodynamic processes which affect the upper mantle in different tectonic units such as subduction system, continental rift and continental collision zone in the world. The paper summarizes the characteristics of CPO and anisotropy of major anisotropic minerals in the upper mantle. Taking the lithosphere mantle xenoliths in the southeastern Tibetan plateau as an example, we perform detailed studies on the microstructures and seismic anisotropy to better understand the deformation mechanisms and upper mantle anisotropy in this region. Results show that the CPO of olivine in peridotite xenoliths in southeastern Tibetan plateau are A-type and AG-type. The mechanisms proposed for the formation of AG-type are different from that for the A-type. Therefore, the occurrence of AG-type olivine CPO pattern suggests that this CPO may record a change in deformation mechanism and tectonic environment of the lithosphere in southeastern Tibetan plateau. Provided that the strong SKS(shear wave splitting)observed in southeastern Tibetan plateau results from lithosphere mantle, the lithosphere mantle in this region is expected to be at least 130km thick and characterized by vertical foliation. Considering that the thickness of lithosphere in southeastern Tibetan plateau is much less than 130km and the lithosphere mantle cannot explain the anisotropy measured by SKS, other anisotropy sources should be considered, such as anisotropy in the asthenosphere and the oriented melt pockets(MPO)in the upper mantle. Therefore, detailed study of CPO of anisotropic mineral is essential for constraining geophysical measurements and analyzing the dynamic process of the lithosphere reasonably. 相似文献

本文利用区域地震初至波到时数据,通过地震层析成像研究获得了东北日本俯冲带上地幔（深至约150 km）的P波速度（VP）、S波速度（VS）、VP/VS和P波各向异性结构.结果表明,低速及高VP/VS比异常体主要分布在火山下方的下地壳和地幔楔中,其与低频地震的分布吻合,该区域与俯冲板块脱水所释放的流体及其导致的部分熔融密切相关;俯冲的太平洋板块内可能由于脱水脆化导致的双层地震带区域则没有表现出整体的高VP/VS值,其可能与俯冲板块内部含水矿物含量有关;俯冲板块内双重地震带区域及上覆地幔楔薄层主要表现为与海沟平行的方位各向异性和正的径向各向异性,其可能是由于含水矿物的脱水使橄榄石晶格结构发生了从A型到B型的变化所引起的.我们研究表明,结合地震波速度和各向异性结构能够加深对俯冲带内水运移过程的认识. 相似文献

This paper reports a study in the distribution of parameters of split shear waves excited by deep earthquakes in the Sakhalin and Hokkaido area, with the orientation of the axes of symmetry in the earth being estimated assuming a viscoelastic anisotropic model for the mantle. A mantle flow along NW 310° ± 20° has been identified beneath the Japan Sea. The flow is inclined at an angle of 20–30° relative to the horizontal plane and is consistent with the motion of the Pacific plate. Beneath the southern Sea of Okhotsk the fast a-axis [100] of olivine is oriented NE 30 ± 15°, nearly parallel to the trend of the Kuril arc, while the c-axis [001] is inclined at ～35° relative to the horizontal plane. Bearing in mind the increased heat flow in the region, we assume the development of a mantle flow along the olivine c-axis at NW 300° ± 20° and with the shear plane [010] in the conditions of partial mantle melting (the B-type LPO). The lowest anisotropy (1–2.5%) was identified beneath Sakhalin and the greatest (3–5%) beneath the Japan Sea. An increasing degree of anisotropy is also noted to occur with an increasing depth of focus (down to 350 km). 相似文献

利用来自汤加—斐济及周边地区发生的47次地震并由中国地震台网中心和IRIS台站记录到的数据，与来自东亚北部及北太平洋地区发生的26次地震并由IRIS台站记录到的数据， 使用ScS-S相对走时分析方法研究了西太平洋下D区的剪切波各向异性， 得到了核幔边界反射点上ScS波径向分量和横向分量的分裂时间， 并计算了D区的地震波各向异性强度. 发现ScS波通过西太平洋下D区时普遍呈现出径向分量走时大于横向分量走时的模式. ScS波的分裂时间值为-0.91~3.21s， 平均值为1.1 s； 各向异性强度值为-0.45%~1.56%， 平均值为0.52%. 观测和分析结果表明， 西太平洋下D区水平流应占支配地位，各向异性结构主要是具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性介质. 形成这种结构的可能原因是地幔底部水平流导致的核幔边界反应产物或部分熔融物质的形状优选方向, 或下地幔物质的晶格优选方向. 相似文献

Using seismic shear phases from 47 Tonga-Fiji and its adjacent region events recorded by the CENC and IRIS, and from 26 northeast Asia and north Pacific events recorded by IRIS, we studied the shear wave anisotropy in D" region beneath the western Pacific utilizing the ScS-S differential travel time method and obtained the splitting time values between the radial and transverse components of each ScS wave corresponding to each core-mantle boundary (CMB) reflection point. We found that most shear waves involved horizontally polarized shear wave components traveling faster than vertically polarized shear wave components through the D" region. The splitting time values of ScS wave range from ?0.91 s to 3.21 s with an average value of 1.1 s. The strength of anisotropy varies from ?0.45% to 1.56% with an average value of 0.52%. The observations and analyses show that in the D" region beneath the western Pacific the lateral flow is expected to be dominant and the vertical transverse isotropy may be the main anisotropic structure. This structure feature may be explained by the shape preferred orientation of the CMB chemical reaction products or partial melt and the lattice preferred orientation of the lower mantle materials caused by the lateral flow at lowermost mantle. 相似文献

We analyzed seismic waveforms recorded by the broadband ocean bottom seismographs deployed in the South Pacific superswell to determine the depths of the mantle discontinuities using a receiver function method. We estimated the thickness of the mantle transition zone (MTZ) to be 245 km on average beneath the superswell region, which is close to the global average. The MTZ is found to be thinned locally beneath the Society hot spot by 30 km. Temperature anomalies computed from the thinned transition zone and the Clapeyron slope of the olivine phase transformations are 150–200 K beneath the Society hot spot. Previous studies, using land-based data, suggested the presence of a hot MTZ beneath the Pitcairn hot spot. The locally hot transition zone beneath the hot spots is attributed to narrow mantle plumes probably rising from the lower mantle. The normal average thickness obtained from the present study indicates that there is no broad upwelling across the transition zone beneath the entire superswell region at present. 相似文献
