A new map of recent crustal vertical movements (RCVM) in Romania, on the basis of high-precision geodetical measurements by the repeated levelling method, had become necessary firstly as a consequence of the great seismic event of March 4, 1977 with foci under the Vrancea Region (the most important seismic zone in the country) and secondly because many years had passed since the previous edition.Certainly, there are similitudes and differences between the two editions, and the authors will try to put these into evidence and explain them.The general view of the major geological units of Romania in both maps is the same: the mountain regions being zones of more or less continuous uplift, the plains showing subsidence movements and the plateau regions presenting a relative stability. Some modifications became apparent owing to the improvement of the national geodetical network on which the repeated levelling measurements were performed and following the choice of the Harbour of Constanţa as the fundamental point. 相似文献

The results of relevellings made in 1948 and 1969–1975 along the Obi-Hingou profile, which is a part of the Garm test area, are analysed. Different characteristics of slow movements in the separate parts of the levelling line divided by faults were obtained by using the displacement velocities of the Earth's surface in each separate section of the profile (from the results of repeated levellings). The uplift of the Peter the Great Range is determined against the background of subsidence in the Tadjik Depression. The exact values of maximum displacements ( ≈ 7 mm ) were determined and the radius of the deformation zone (12–13 km) was established for earthquakes with M = 4.5–5. 相似文献

In addition to the measurements carried out in the framework of the 1973–1978 international relevellings, further levelling lines have been remeasured on the territory of Czechoslovakia till now. Considering all new relevellings on the region under study, an independent adjustment of annual velocities of vertical movements in whole network was performed. The values of vertical movements were determined relatively to the fundamental benchmark Želešice in the central part of Czechoslovakia, monumented in the bedrock of the southeastern border of the Bohemian Massif. The results are presented in a map of vertical movements and preliminarily interpreted in connection to the geological features of the territory under study. 相似文献

A comparative analysis has been carried out for maps of recent vertical crustal movements (RVCM) for the European territory of Russia published at various times. We present maps for differences of rates of RVCM (1963–1971, 1971–1986). Considerable discrepancies have been detected for the rates of RVCM shown in the maps as regards the sense of movement, its magnitude and distribution. We point out possible causes of these discrepancies and question the validity of RVCM maps as reflecting tectonic crustal movements. 相似文献

On the basis of data on crustal structure and terrestrial heat flow, a 3-D geothermal model for the lithosphere in the Pannonian basin, Hungary, has been calculated. This model, together with information on crustal composition, laboratory data on rock friction, and certain assumptions about fluid conditions and strain-rate levels within the lithosphere, has been used to construct a rheological model of the area.The results obtained show a layered rheological structure where an aseismic part of the crust is “sandwiched” between an upper and a lower seismogenic crustal layers. According to the proposed rheological model, seismic activity in the upper crust may be expected down to depths of 10–12 km, which is confirmed well by the observed depth distribution of seismicity. The model also predicts a lower crustal seismogenic layer down to 20–22 km. Because of infrequent occurrences of deep earthquakes and/or a generally small number of reliable hypocenter depth determinations in the study area, this seismogenic zone is less constrained by observations.The depth of the different rheologic horizons within the crust is governed mainly by thermal conditions. The lower boundary of both seismogenic layers appears isothermal. Brittle-ductile transition in the upper crust coincides with the ˜200 °C isotherm, while in the lower crust it coincides with the ˜ 375 °C isotherm. The lowermost crust and the upper mantle beneath Hungary show ductile behavior, thus the possibility of siesmic activity at these horizons can be excluded. 相似文献

In 1982, the Central Laboratory for Geodesy (CLG) started a long-term study of the recent crustal movements in a local test area in a mobile region located southwards of Sofia.The recent geodynamic conditions and the deep structure of the Earth's crust in this region are described.Data on the local network of precise leveling are given-the scheme and characteristics of the loops, benchmarks and their monumentation. A first geodynamic analysis of the results of the first and third cycles of measurements is made, a map of the module of horizontal gradient of vertical velocity has been elaborated. The results obtained corroborate the reasons for the selection of this geodynamic test area. 相似文献

The Pannonian Basin or in a broad sense, the Carpatho-Balkan region, is a suitable test area to study the statistical qualities of the Earth's vertical crustal movements. The second-order moments of relative and absolute quantities of motion (vertical velocity, horizontal gradient) are given for the type of a subsiding region with uplifts in its marginal zone — in the ideal case of circular ssymetry. The foundation is the theory of two-dimensional homogenous stochastic processes. Empirically estimated autocovariance functions of the relative vertical rate are approximated by model functions, corresponding to the geotectonic situation of the region, and they are transformed into the wave-number domain. All modelled and empirically estimated second-order moments are given as auxiliary means for signal prediction. The properties of the signal, represented in the maps of the Earth's vertical crustal movements (1:2 500 000, Moscow 1973; 1:2 000 000, Joó et al., 1979), can be derived from the spectral representation. 相似文献

Postglacial rebound is a long-studied phenomenon in Fennoscandia, and the general features of contemporary vertical motion (0–8 mm/year relative to mean sea level) are well known from tide gauges and repeated precise levelling. GPS on permanent stations has proved to be a powerful tool in studies of crustal motion, capable of detecting small trends in a fraction of the time required by the classical methods. We determine vertical velocities from 5 years of data in the permanent Finnish GPS network FinnRef®. We compare them with velocities derived from three precise levellings spanning nearly hundred years, and from tide gauge records. From the comparison, both FinnRef velocities and levelled velocities appear to be accurate to 0.4 mm/year (one-sigma). The isobases (lines of equal velocities) are less elongated towards northeast than in geophysical models of the rebound. However, the processing of nearly the same GPS data in BIFROST using different methods produces velocities that disagree with FinnRef more than levelling does. The levelled velocities are between the two GPS results and do not resolve the conflict. 相似文献

Comparison of the results of height adjustments on the International Repeated Levelling Network in Czechoslovakia with the normal heights from the first international adjustment affords information about general trends of height changes in the period of approx. 1943–1976 (mean epochs of both levelling). Negative changes of the heights (subsidences) occured over practically the whole county, amounting to about 70 mm in south Moravia and south-west Slovakia.Also the height changes determined from independent adjustments of the network in Czechoslovakia at the same epoch was studied. This was based on the premise of unchanging height of the Lišv fundamental levelling benchmark in south Bohemia. As the result, we got practically the same courses of the isolines of identical height changes, only systematically shifted by about 60 mm.The data of comparison should be the subject of interpretation from the point of view of structural geology for which they can serve as a basis for studying fundamental tendencies of the dynamics of the Earth's crust in the investigated region and for given time period. 相似文献

Thermal modeling of the Southern Alps,New Zealand 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Finite-element modeling of the thermal regime across the Southern Alps of New Zealand has been carried out along two profiles situated near the Franz Josef and Haast valleys. The modeling involves viscous deformation beneath the Southern Alps, including both uplift and erosion, and crustal/lithospheric thickening, as a result of crustal shortening extending to 20 mm/y of a 25-km thick crust. Published uplift rates and crustal thickness variations along the two profiles are used to constrain the modeled advection of crustal material, and results are compared with the recent heat flow determinations, 190±50 mW/m2 in the Franz Josef valley and 90±25 mW/m2 in the Haast valley. Comparisons of the model with published K–Ar and fission track ages, show that the observed heat flow in the Franz Josef valley is consistent with observed zircon fission track ages of around 1 Ma, if the present-day uplift rate is close to 10 mm/y. Major thermal differences between the Franz Josef and Haast profiles appear to be due to different uplift and erosion rates. There is weak evidence that frictional heating close to the Alpine fault zone is not significant. The modeling provides explanations for the distribution of seismicity beneath the Southern Alps, and predicts a low surface heat flow over the eastern foothills due to the dominant thermal effect of crustal thickening beneath this region. Predicted temperatures at mid-crustal depth beneath the zone of maximum uplift rate are 50–100°C cooler than those indicated in previously published models, which implies that thermal weakening of the crust may not be the main factor causing the aseismicity of the central Southern Alps. The results of the modeling demonstrate that the different types of reset age data in the region within 25 km of the Alpine fault are critical for constraining models of the deformation and the thermal regime beneath the Southern Alps. 相似文献

Summary Deep sounding seismic data along nine profiles and measured values of the terrestrial heat flow were used to construct a geothermal model of the crust for the territory of Yugoslavia. The obtained data indicate that the lowest temperatures (250 – 350°C) at the crust base are in the region of the Outer Dinarides and the highest (900 – 1000°C) in the region of the Pannonian Basin and the Serbian-Macedonian Massif. The difference is associated with the changing heat flow which reaches the Earth's crust from the upper mantle. Based on the crustal temperature distribution, an approximate lithospheric thickness was estimated for the first time for the entire territory of Yugoslavia. It is largest under the Outer Dinarides, where it is up to 260 kilometres, and smallest under the Pannonian Basin and the Serbian-Macedonian Massif, only 40 – 50 kilometres.Before the separation of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia.Presented at the International Meeting on Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Structure of Lithosphere, Bechyn Castle, Czech Republic, September 2 – 7, 1991. 相似文献

A local geodetic network of 20 points was established in 1988 around the Seiyal fault for monitoring lateral movements. Two levellinglines, crossing the fault, were prepared for monitoring vertical movements. The initial horizontal geodetic measurements were carried out in March 1989. The measurements were repeated twice a year. The initial vertical geodetic measurements (levelling) were carried out in November 1989 and repeated in November 1990.Four horizontal geodetic measurements and two levelling measurements were analysed. The results revealed remarkable horizontal and vertical changes during the period of measurement. 相似文献

Since the beginning of the anomalous vertical crustal movement in the Izu peninsul, Honshu, Japan, many repeated precise levellings have been carried out by the Geographical Survey Institute. Trilaterations covering the entire Izu peninsula have also been carried out by the Geographical Survey Institute. A new technique is developed to adjust the results of levellings, because they had been carried out for different epochs along each levelling route and because of rapid vertical crustal movements. In conventional least-squares adjustment of levelling network, only corrections to the approximate height are assumed to be unknown, while in the present analysis a special model in which rates of vertical deformation at any bench marks are also assumed to be unknown, is adopted. In addition, tidal stations along the coast of the Izu peninsula yield the rate of vertical crustal movement from analysis of tidal data independent of levelling data. We select several special bench marks in which rates of vertical movement are determined by tidal analysis, thereafter special adjustment is applied according to the type of network.The results show that the peninsula is inclined to the south-west. Uplift in the northeastern part of the peninsula is accompanied by remarkable subsidence in the southwest. The rate of contemporary inclination is many times higher than the rate during the period from 1929 to 1972.The deformation is concentrated in the area whereNakamura (1979, 1980) pointed out the bending of the Philippine Sea plate. The mode and rate of the detected crustal deformation suggest the accelerated bending of the peninsula. There are some local uplift that deviate from the general pattern of deformation. The most remarkable land uplift was observed near Ito, a city within the peninsula, and the focus of this uplift migrated with time. The accelerated plate bending will produce an extension at the earth's surface and contraction in the deeper part of the subcrustal layer, additionally it triggered the intrusion of magma from the deeper part to the shallower. Moreover, the accelerated plate bending also triggered seismic swarms and destructive, earthquakes in and around the peninsula. 相似文献

Subsidence of the Bahama Escarpment, determined from deep-diving submersible and dredge samples, is used to constrain the nature of crust underlying the Bahamas. Horizontal disposition of the Hauterivian/Barremian (125 Ma) age boundary along the Bahama Escarpment is inconsistent with an underlying oceanic crust (either normal or thickened) here, and suggests that thinned continental crust underlies the Bahamas. Subsidence curves are then fit based on a stretched lithosphere model to a stratigraphic section (2000–4000 m) off Cat Island. This analysis indicates crustal thinning by a factor (β) of 2.0–2.5, resulting in present crustal thicknesses of 10–12 km. We propose that rifting beneath the Bahamas occurred from middle (175–180 Ma) to late (160 Ma) Jurassic time. The pre-extension Bahamas fit between North and South America and Africa in Early Jurassic time, eliminating overlap of the present Bahamas onto Africa in reconstructions of the North Atlantic. 相似文献

Vertical oscillating movements of the Earth's crust on continents have occurred and are occurring everywhere on the Earth's surface, continuously throughout the entire geological history of the Earth. This provides grounds to consider them as the basic type of tectonic movements, which form the general background of the tectogenetic process, on which locally, and only at separate moments of time, other tectonic movements and deformations appear.According to the time of occurrence, the vertical movements are divided into recent, young, modern, and ancient. In compliance with this subdivision, different methods are applied to define and study the movements. The major characteristic of the vertical movements is their rhythm, or periodic change in sign of movement, which caused them to be calledoscillating. Rhythms of movements are of several orders. The largest rhythms, which comprise tectonic cycles, are manifested on a global scale; smaller rhythms have a local distribution. It is significant that, in the beginning and in the end of each tectonic cycle, an increase of intensity and contrast of movements is observed, no matter in which region or regime, whether stable or mobile, it occurs. 相似文献

The seismic activity of the Guardamar-Torrevieja zone (Eastern Betic Cordillera, SE Spain) can be associated with the Bajo
Segura fault zone, an E-W reverse blind fault with secondary NW-SE dextral faults. A high-precision levelling profile 30 kilometers
long was set up and levelled in 1997 to monitor the vertical displacement of this active fault zone. This profile runs parallel
to an older high-precision levelling line included in the Spanish first order levelling network measured by the Instituto
Geográfico Nacional (IGN) in two different campaigns (1934 and 1976). The 1997 line was relevelled in 2003 and 10 new benchmarks
were set up, both to increase benchmark density and to restore some of the 1997 benchmarks that had been destroyed. We have
used the 1976 IGN and the 2003 measurement to construct a recent vertical movements profile with a significant time difference
(27 years). This recent vertical movements profile shows that the vertical movements are very small, nearly equal to the error
bars, with a 0.2 mm/year rise in the town of Guardamar, and a 0.2 mm/year subsidence of the southern part of the profile (Punta
Prima) respect to the town of Torrevieja. These movements could be related to the activity of the Bajo Segura and the San
Miguel faults respectively. Using geological markers we have deduced uplift rates of 0.1 mm/year during the last 3 million
years. Therefore, these preliminary results indicate that geodetically (short-term deformation) determined uplift rates are
similar to those estimated from geological markers (long term deformation). 相似文献

This paper presents a probable isostatic model of the East Anatolian Region, which lies in a belt of significant plate movements.
Probable locations of the horizontal and vertical discontinuities in the crust structure were determined using the normalized
full gradient (NFG) method. For the purpose of explaining the mechanism that supports topography corresponding to the crust
thickness in the region, calculations of effective elastic thickness (T
e) were carried out initially by utilizing admittance and misfit functions. According to these results, the effective elastic
thickness value obtained was less than the crust thickness, even though the isostatic model does not conform with the Airy
model. Consequently, it was assumed that there could be problems beneath the crust. Hence, the NFG method was applied on
the Bouguer gravity data of the region in order to investigate probable discontinuities in the crust structure. According
to the NFG results, vertical structural transitions were observed at a depth ranging between 10 and 30 km, which begin immediately
north of the Bitlis Zagros Suture Zone (BZSZ) and continue in a northerly direction. The relationship between the effective
elastic thickness (T
e; 13 km in average as determined in the last stage), and the seismogenic zone in the region was investigated. If the T
e value happens to be less then the crustal thickness, then one can say that there are problems in the crustal structure of
the region similar to Eastern Anatolia. Indeed, when NFG results of the study area are examined, numerous vertical and horizontal
discontinuities in the crust can be observed. These discontinuities, which correspond to low Bouguer gravity anomalies and
shallow focal depth-earthquakes, are probably the source of the factors which rule the tectonic mechanism of the region. 相似文献
