南海及其围区新生代岩浆活动具有相似的特征,根据与南海扩张时间(32~15.5 Ma)的先后关系,将岩浆活动分为三期:扩张前(32 Ma)、扩张期(32~15.5 Ma)和停止扩张后(15.5 Ma)。从岩相学特征可知:扩张前的岩石以三水盆地双峰式岩浆岩组合为代表;根据最新的IODP 349航次的钻孔样品资料,南海海盆扩张期岩浆岩为典型的MORB,而少量的陆缘岩石资料显示,该期岩浆岩为碱性玄武岩;停止扩张后岩浆活动可分为两期,早期以大陆-大洋中脊过渡型拉斑玄武岩为主,晚期以碱性玄武岩为主。除了扩张期南海海盆的MORB,整个新生代的岩浆岩地球化学特征大体一致,与OIB相似,显示地幔源区具有不均一性,由一个DMM和一个EM端元组成,且岩石均表现出明显的Dupal异常特征。对于富集端元的性质和来源、Dupal异常的成因、海南地幔柱是否存在等问题目前存在较大争议。具OIB特征的岩浆除来自地幔柱作用外,地幔交代作用也是重要的产生机制。本文认为碳酸盐流体对地幔源区的交代作用可能在南海地区新生代岩浆活动中扮演了重要的角色。另外,岩浆岩成岩过程的研究也不够全面深入,这些都是在今后的研究工作中需要关注的地方,有待后来进一步的研究。  相似文献

北部湾玄武岩地幔源区性质的地球化学示踪及其构造环境   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
北部湾发育一系列上新世玄武岩,其全岩K—Ar年龄为5.9—2.4Ma,是伴随北部湾盆地拉张而形成的一次较大规模的岩浆活动。岩石化学和微量元素地球化学研究表明,该玄武岩属于碱性玄武岩系,具有OIB型微量元素配分模式,形成于较均一的地幔源区,具有以EM2型地幔端元为主、混有HIMU和EMl型端元的地幔源区性质,形成于地幔柱或地幔热点的构造环境。北部湾盆地与红河剪切断裂带具有相同的地幔源区,而与受太平洋板块影响的地幔源区差别较大。玄武岩形成和北部湾盆地拉张主要受印度板块向欧亚板块俯冲导致的红河断裂带大规模剪切走滑控制,5Ma左右红河断裂带由左行走滑剪切转变为右行走滑剪切的构造性质转换可能是导致地幔异常扰动和岩浆活动的地球动力学机制。  相似文献

西北印度洋中脊玄武岩源区地幔特征   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
利用全球岩石地球化学数据库(Pet DB)中有关卡尔斯伯格洋脊(CR)、北中印度洋脊(NCIR)及南中印度洋脊(SCIR)玄武岩的微量元素及同位素组成数据,分析了玄武岩的元素地球化学特征及其沿脊轴的变化,旨在探讨玄武岩源区地幔的(不)均一性及岩浆作用过程的差异。初步研究结果表明:CR、NCIR及SCIR玄武岩组成相近,仅在个别脊段表现有微量稀土元素和同位素组成上的差异,玄武岩整体与N-MORB组成特征相近,与先前通常认为的典型印度洋中脊玄武岩不同。玄武质岩浆主要源自尖晶石二辉橄榄岩地幔的熔融,岩浆源区主要由两个地幔端元构成,即以亏损型地幔(DMM)为主(69%),其次为富集型地幔(EMⅡ,27%)。富集组分可能源自古老陆壳物质的混染。自CR经NCIR到SCIR整个印度洋中脊西北分支玄武岩的Sr、Nd及Pb同位素组成表现出均一性,表明岩浆源区地幔组成相近。在SCIR 19°S附近脊段岩浆源区地幔存在有不均一性,有EMⅡ型地幔端元混入的迹象。在CR 3.5°N附近脊段,玄武岩明显富集K、Ba、La及U等微量元素,但由于缺少同位素数据,源区地幔特征有待进一步研究。在上述研究成果的基础上,提出了该区大比例尺的调查填图及密集采样和精细室内分析是CR深入研究的基础,同时加强Sr、Nd、Pb及Re、Os、Be等同位素分析测试,可提供揭示CR地幔不均一性的可靠依据,而厘清印度洋型地幔对CR的影响程度则有助于深入认识地幔不均一性的成因及地幔动力学过程。  相似文献

认识地幔组成不均一性及其成因对于揭示固体地球的演化规律具有重要意义。简要论述了全球典型大洋玄武岩(洋岛/海山玄武岩(OIB)、洋中脊玄武岩(MORB))源区组成不均一性的化学特征及成因,并分析了国内外对地幔组成不均一性的认识不足之处和原因。30多年以来,玄武岩地球化学研究主要围绕地幔组成端元成分差异性及其成因,包括HIMU(‘μ’=~(238)U/~(204)Pb)、EMI和EMII及FOZO(同位素组成介于HIMU和MORB之间)富集端元,以及DMM亏损地幔端元(包括印度洋型(Indian-type MORB)和太平洋型(Pacific-type MORB)。富集地幔端元通常被认为与板块构造导致的地球化学循环有关,然而,这些端元的成因存在多解性。尽管过去常将亏损地幔作为一个地幔端元,但全球主要地幔库的亏损端元之间的同位素差别也是长期演化的结果,地幔亏损端元组成差异的研究也是至关重要的。地幔端元成因的多解性主要是由于对板块构造导致物质循环的关键环节了解不够,以及对地球早期熔融导致的上地幔亏损过程的认识不足。在总结研究现状和科学问题的基础上,本文指出地幔不均一性成因研究的潜力方向和方法:(1)深化对玄武质洋壳深部地幔压力下的物理化学相变研究,认识再循环洋壳重返浅部地幔的基本理论前提;(2)利用年轻的大陆裂张海盆玄武岩,有效检验大陆富集物质是否拆离进入地幔软流圈;(3)碳酸岩熔体来源及其对碱性玄武岩富集端元组成的贡献;(4)板块俯冲进入地幔过程中化学分异过程。  相似文献

壳幔黏性结构是影响南海中央海盆扩张期后海山链岩浆活动的主要因素,研究其岩浆活动发育机制具有重要的科学意义。利用重、磁、测深及岩样分析数据提供的地壳结构和热力学参数,通过FEM数值模拟,研究了南海中央海盆珍贝-黄岩海山链之下黏性结构与岩浆熔融、运移活动的关系。根据黏性主要受压力和温度控制,但熔融期间的散热及脱水会增加黏性,设计了三种不同的黏性结构模型。计算结果表明:三种垂向黏性结构模型在不同的温度条件下,都可以使地幔熔融区最大熔融程度达到20%~25%。岩浆熔融程度与地幔热结构、熔融潜热和含水量有关,并受扩张速率影响,慢速扩张脊下的岩浆熔融程度相对较低。岩浆运移在扩张期后主要依靠减压熔融浮力,垂直上升至熔融区顶面后沿上倾面向脊轴运移。接近脊轴熔融带,部分熔融程度高,远离轴部熔融带,部分熔融程度较低。主要结论:南海中央海盆海底扩张期,海山链之下10 km深度具备形成拉斑玄武岩浆的条件;扩张期末,该地区25 km深度具备形成碱性玄武岩浆的条件。  相似文献

冲绳海槽岩浆源的三分量混合模型   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
综合分析了冲绳海槽玄武岩中微量元素的地球化学特征,发现最少要求三分量混合作用来解释其岩浆源成分,并通过最大方差因子分析估算了3个分量的贡献比例。亏损型地幔是海槽岩浆源的主体,但其中舍有富集型地幔的成分,尤其是海槽中部玄武岩岩浆源中这种富集型地幔成分的特征表现得更为明显。俯冲组分是岩浆源中的另一个主要成分,贡献量为20%左右,是造成海槽区玄武岩中Pb强烈富集的重要原因。  相似文献

板块俯冲和板内岩浆作用都是导致地表和地球内部物质大规模循环的重要地质过程。但是,两个地质过程的岩浆成因机制,以及成因上的内在联系都存在很大争议。西太平洋是全球沟-弧-盆体系最发育的地区,也是全球板内火山作用(海山和洋底高原)分布最集中的场所。为阐明西太平洋海盆的上地幔软流圈性质、岛弧岩浆形成的控制机制、以及板块内部火山作用(碱性火山岩)的成因机制,在中国科学院战略性先导科技专项(A类)"热带西太平洋海洋系统物质能量交换及其影响"项目的资助下,本文对西太平洋马里亚纳-雅浦俯冲系统、汤加-科玛迪克俯冲带及其俯冲前缘海盆的成因机制、南中国海扩张期海盆玄武岩和板内火山作用、西太平洋海盆上地幔的Dupal异常分布和成因机制等展开了系统的岩石学和地球化学研究,并取得了新的科学认识和成果。主要认识包括:(1)雅浦岛弧主要由变质岩-角闪岩组成,其形成于3—6Kbar温压条件下,代表岛弧下部来自帕里西维拉海盆的变质基底;(2)加洛林洋脊主要由玄武岩组成,其不是一个岛弧,而可能是一个地幔柱形成的洋底高原;(3)汤加-科玛迪克岛弧岩浆组成体现了西南太平洋俯冲板片俯冲速率的直接影响;(4)厘定了汤加-科玛迪克俯冲前缘板块的年龄(103.7Ma),并认识到其代表古太平洋扩张中心并消耗了Ontong Java超级地幔柱的组分;(5)首次在南海发现了碳酸盐化的硅酸岩岩浆向碱性玄武岩转化的现象,提出了板内碱性玄武岩成因的新链条;(6)西太平洋海盆的地幔广泛存在Dupal异常,该异常从西太平洋岛弧俯冲带一直延伸至南海海盆,其中南海海盆的Dupal异常主要受到大陆裂解和海南地幔柱作用的双重影响。通过以上认识,进一步揭示了西太平洋沟-弧-盆体系和板内岩浆体系作用机制,以及俯冲板片物质与板内火山活动之间的成因关联,这对于深刻理解板块构造导致的地球内外物质循环规律有一定的推动作用。  相似文献

南海在扩张前是否经历了陆内裂谷阶段是南海成因研究中一个重要的问题。三水盆地位于南海北部陆缘,其新生代以来喷发的双峰式火山岩具备大陆裂谷的岩石组合特征。通过对其中玄武岩主微量元素分析认为三水盆地玄武岩可以分为亚碱性和碱性玄武岩系列,两者均显示出明显的Nb、Ta正异常,相对于大陆地壳具有较低的Th/Sc、La/Nb和U/Al×1000,陆壳混染程度低;首次对盆地内玄武岩进行40Ar-39Ar测年,结合前人年代学结果表明玄武质岩浆强烈喷发的时段为61~54 Ma,其中亚碱性玄武岩喷发时间(60 Ma)早于碱性玄武岩(56 Ma);通过熔融柱模型反演得到亚碱性岩浆源区起止熔融温压分别为1 517℃(3.03 GPa)和1 471℃(2.25 GPa),深度为101~76 km,碱性岩浆源区起止熔融温压分别为1 555℃(3.33 GPa)和1 506℃(2.48 GPa),深度为110~84 km,整体为石榴石-尖晶石橄榄岩过渡区且呈逐渐变深的趋势。综合岩浆源区特征以及岩石组合特征认为三水盆地在古新世具备大陆裂谷特征。通过对比三水盆地与南海扩张期岩浆活动的分布时段及源区特征,发现三水盆地与南海扩张期岩浆活动时间分布存在较长间隔,深部过程差异较大,三水盆地岩浆活动与南海扩张并无直接因果联系。  相似文献

冲绳海槽是因菲律宾海板块俯冲于欧亚板块之下,在陆壳上发育起来的一个初始的弧后盆地,是研究弧后扩张作用早期盆地演化、岩浆作用和壳幔过程的天然实验室。尽管迄今对冲绳海槽已经做了大量的调查研究工作,但仍存在一些颇有争议或亟待解决的科学问题,如:冲绳海槽酸性浮岩与基性玄武岩之间的成因联系,冲绳海槽不同区段构造背景对岩浆作用的控制,冲绳海槽岩浆源区地幔的特征,俯冲板块组分(流体+熔体)对地幔楔部分熔融的贡献等。本文在系统收集和整理(剔除了一些存疑数据)了迄今已有冲绳海槽火山岩主量元素、微量元素(包括稀土元素)与Sr-Nd-Pb同位素数据的基础上,通过对资料的系统分析,进一步确认了酸性浮岩与基性玄武岩的岩浆同源性;认为在冲绳海槽北段与中段主要分布有酸性浮岩和中性安山岩,应该是两段区域目前正处于裂谷阶段的反映,而南段广泛分布的基性玄武岩说明在构造性质上已接近成熟性弧后盆地;冲绳海槽的火山岩岩浆源区具有II型富集地幔(EMII型)Dupal异常特征,岩浆源于流行地幔(PREMA)和EMII型地幔端元混合的源区地幔,其中EMII约占比15%,PREMA贡献率在85%左右;源于俯冲的菲律宾海板块(俯冲洋壳或沉积物)的流/熔体的加入是导致冲绳海槽下伏地幔具有EMII型特征的原因,这一点不同于Dupal异常源于壳幔相互作用的观点。  相似文献

Some of the islets in the eastern Beibu Gulf are covered by Quaternary volcano strata. The rock samples from these islets mainly consist of quartz tholeiites (at Shenjiandao), olivine tholeiites (at Linshidao and Xieyang- dao) and alkali basalts (at Yangpubi and Jianshidao), and basically represent four periods of the Quaternary volcanism of Hainan Island and its adjacent regions. Except for the samples from Shenjiandao, most of the Quaternary volcanics of these islets belong to alkali magma series. The trace element characteristics of all of these samples show they are OIB (oceanic island basalt) -like, which implies that their deep geodynamic setting may be related to a mantle plume. The Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions show that the mantle source beneath the Quaternary strata can be regarded as a result of binary mixing between a depleted, DMM (de- pleted MORB mantle)-like source and an enriched mantle type 2 (EM2). The EM2 may be originated from the Hainan mantle plume, and has been metasomatized by carbonaceous fluids released from ancient re- cycled oceanic crust at an asthenospheric mantle level. These features, together with typical trace element ratios, reflect that the parent magma was not subjected to crustal contamination during its ascent to the surface. This study provides further petrological and geochemical evidence for the existence of the Hainan mantle plume.  相似文献

P-waves recorded on Ponape Island at the northern end of the Ontong Java plateau have been investigated. Different modes of propagation in the distance range 12° to 17° Δ between paths from Melanesian earthquakes across the Ontong Java plateau and paths from Mariana earthquakes across the eastern Mariana basin suggest that the mantle underlying the regions is not homogeneous. Travel-times of P-waves beneath the Ontong Java plateau are slower than for paths beneath the east Mariana basin. The frequency content of the first-arriving P-waves is lower for paths across the Ontong Java plateau than for the east Mariana basin. The disparate crustal thicknesses of the Ontong Java plateau and east Mariana basin may influence the relative amplitude of oceanic Pn, with smaller amplitudes corresponding to a thicker crust. Pn-P differential times for the Ontong Java plateau show a general decrease with the depth of earthquake focus but no comparable trend is seen in the Mariana data, possibly because of the scatter. The observation of high-frequency oceanic Pn propagation across the Ontong Java Plateau is suggestive that the plateau is not of continental origin.  相似文献

南海大洋钻探及海洋地质与地球物理前沿研究新突破   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
南海是西太平洋地区规模最大且具有代表性的边缘海盆地之一。经过近几十年的研究积累,尤其是通过实施5个国际大洋钻探航次(1999–2018年)与国家自然科学基金委“南海深海过程演变”重大研究计划(2011–2019年),我国科学家获得了大量宝贵的第一手资料,取得了一系列创新进展与重大突破,标志着南海海洋地质与地球物理研究正走向国际前沿。重要研究成果包括:(1)新提出南海是“板缘张裂”盆地,与经典的大西洋型陆缘模式不同;(2)大洋钻探首次获取了基底玄武岩样品,结合中国在南海首次深拖地磁测量实验,精确测定了南海海盆玄武岩年龄,揭示南海海盆从东向西分段扩张;(3)大洋钻探结果发现南海陆缘岩石圈减薄之初岩浆迅速出现,未发现缓慢破裂造成的蛇纹岩出露;(4)发现南海扩张结束后仍存在大量岩浆活动,可能受控于多种构造与地幔因素;(5)地球化学证据与地球动力学模拟都显示南海岩浆的形成受到周边俯冲带的影响。目前我国的海洋地球科学正在进入崭新的发展阶段,有望以南海为基点,开始拓展到周边大洋,通过主导大型研究计划以及建设我国大洋钻探平台,以提升我国在南海、西太平洋与印度洋海洋地质科学研究的实质性影响力与引领地位。  相似文献

Like most other deep basins in Southeast Asia, the deep Sulu Sea (SS) basin is isolated from the neighboring seas by surrounding topography. While the near-surface circulation is mainly governed by the seasonally reversing monsoon winds, below the warm and fresh surface layer, the core of the incoming Subtropical Lower Water from the West Philippine Sea (WPS), by way of the South China Sea (SCS), can be seen, at a depth of around 200 m, to have a distinct salinity maximum. It lies well above the sill depth (420 m) in the Mindoro Strait and thus, its spreading is not hampered by topography. The deep circulation is forced by an inflow of upper North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) from the SCS through the Mindoro Str. Below 1000 m, the physico-chemical properties are remarkably homogeneous. The higher temperature, but lower salinity, oxygen and nutrients, of the deep SS waters, compared to those of the SCS, is indicative of the intrusion of NPIW above the sill depth. The excess, anthropogenic CO2 penetrates the entire water column, because of the over-spill of the excess CO2-laden water from the SCS.It has been reported that the bottom of the SS is CaCO3 rich, relative to the SCS. Previous investigators attribute this to the higher θ in the SS. Indeed, the aragonite does not become undersaturated in the SS until below 1400 m, compared to 600 m in both the WPS and SCS; and the calcite does not become undersaturated until below 3800 m in the SS, compared to 2500 m in the SCS and around 1600 m in the WPS. However, the temperature effect is relatively small. These large differences are, in fact, largely a result of higher CO32− concentrations in the SS, relative to the WPS and SCS. The higher CO32− concentration in the SS, in turn, is mainly caused by the smaller amounts of organic carbon decomposition.  相似文献

Understanding the development from syn-rift to spreading in the South China Sea (SCS) is important in elucidating the western Pacific's tectonic evolution because the SCS is a major tectonic constituent of the many marginal seas in the region. This paper describes research examining the transition from rifting to spreading along the northern margin of the SCS, made possible by the amalgamation of newly acquired and existing geophysical data. The northernmost SCS was surveyed as part of a joint Japan-China cooperative project (JCCP) in two phases in 1993 and 1994. The purpose of the investigation was to reveal seismic and magnetic characteristics of the transitional zone between continental crust and the abyssal basin. Compilation of marine gravity and geomagnetic data of the South China Sea clarify structural characteristics of its rifted continental and convergent margins, both past and present. Total and three component magnetic data clearly indicate the magnetic lineations of the oceanic basin and the magnetic characteristics of its varied margins. The analyses of magnetic, gravity and seismic data and other geophysical and geological information from the SCS led up to the following results: (1) N-S direction seafloor spreading started from early Eocene. There were at least four separate evolutional stages. Directions and rates of the spreading are fluctuating and unstable and spreading continued from 32 to 17 Ma. (2) The apparent difference in the present tectonism of the eastern and western parts of Continent Ocean Boundary (COB) implies that in the east of the continental breakup is governed by a strike slip faulting. (3) The seismic high velocity layer in the lower crust seems to be underplated beneath the stretched continental crust. (4) Magnetic anomaly of the continental margin area seems to be rooted in the uppermost sediment and upper part of lower crust based on the tertiary volcanism. (5) Magnetic quiet zone (MQZ) anomaly in the continental margin area coincides with COB. (6) The non-magnetic or very weakly magnetized layer is probably responsible for MQZ. One of the causes of demagnetization of the layer is due to hydrothermal alteration while high temperature mantle materials being underplated. Another explanation is that horizontal sequences of basalt each with flip-flop magnetization polarity cancel out to the resultant magnetic field on the surface. We are currently developing a synthetic database system containing datasets of seismicity, potential field data, crustal and thermal structures, and other geophysical data to facilitate the study of past, contemporary and future changes in the deep sea environment around Japan; i.e. trench, trough, subduction zones, marginal basins and island arcs. Several special characteristics are an object-oriented approach to the collection and multi-faceted studies of global data from a variety of sources.  相似文献

Okinawa Trough is a back-arc, initial marginal sea basin, located behind the Ryukyu Arc–Trench System. The formation and evolution of the Okinawa Trough is intimately related to the subduction process of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate since the late Miocene. The tectonic evolution of the trough is similar to other active back-arcs, such as the Mariana Trough and southern Lau Basin, all of which are experiencing the initial rifting and subsequent spreading process. This study reviews all petrologic and geochemical data of mafic volcanic lavas from the Okinawa Trough, Ryukyu Arc, and Philippine Sea Plate, combined with geophysical data to indicate the relationship between the subduction sources(input) and arc or back-arc magmas(output) in the Philippine Sea Plate–Ryukyu Arc–Okinawa Trough system(PROS). The results obtained showed that several components were variably involved in the petrogenesis of the Okinawa Trough lavas: sub-continental lithospheric mantle underlying the Eurasian Plate, Indian mid-oceanic ridge basalt(MORB)-type mantle, and Pacific MORB-type mantle. The addition of shallow aqueous fluids and deep hydrous melts from subducted components with the characteristics of Indian MORB-type mantle into the mantle source of lavas variably modifies the primitive mantle wedge beneath the Ryukyu and subcontinental lithospheric mantle(SCLM) beneath the Okinawa Trough. In the northeastern end of the trough and arc, instead of Indian MORB-type mantle, Pacific MORB-type mantle dominates the magma source. Along the strike of the Ryukyu Arc and Okinawa Trough, the systematic variations in trace element ratios and isotopic compositions reflect the first-order effect of variable subduction input on the magma source. In general, petrologic data, combined with geophysical data, imply that the Okinawa Trough is experiencing the "seafloor spreading" process in the southwest segment, "rift propagation" process in the middle segment, and "crustal extension" process in the northeast segment, and a nascent ocean basin occurs in the southwest segment.  相似文献

印度洋Carlsberg洋脊玄武岩岩石地球化学特征及其地质意义   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
本文对采自印度洋Carlsberg脊14个站位的新鲜玄武岩样品进行了常量和微量元素组成分析,旨在研究岩浆源区地幔的性质以及岩浆作用过程。研究结果表明:该区玄武岩为典型的源于亏损型地幔的大洋中脊玄武岩,不同样品经历了不同程度的结晶分异作用,演化过程主要受控于橄榄石的结晶分异作用,部分样品中有单斜辉石结晶分异作用的影响,斜长石的结晶分异作用不显著;玄武岩岩浆来源于亏损型尖晶石二辉橄榄岩地幔的熔融,主微量元素组成中尚未见到富集型组分混入的证据;源区地幔不同比例的熔融作用及其后岩浆演化过程的差异是造成不同样品间地球化学性质差异的主要原因,彼此独立的局部岩浆作用过程是岩浆作用差异的主控制因素。Carlsberg脊玄武岩整体与全球标准大洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB)平均组分相近,不同脊段间岩浆源区地幔的组成、熔融程度(比例)和熔融深度等无明显差异,这种特征向南直到CIR的北段。  相似文献

The Muertos Trough in the northeast Caribbean has been interpreted as a subduction zone from seismicity, leading to infer a possible reversal subduction polarity. However, the distribution of the seismicity is very diffuse and makes definition of the plate geometry difficult. In addition, the compressive deformational features observed in the upper crust and sandbox kinematic modeling do not necessarily suggest a subduction process. We tested the hypothesized subduction of the Caribbean plate’s interior beneath the eastern Greater Antilles island arc using gravity modeling. Gravity models simulating a subduction process yield a regional mass deficit beneath the island arc independently of the geometry and depth of the subducted slab used in the models. This mass deficit results from sinking of the less dense Caribbean slab beneath the lithospheric mantle replacing denser mantle materials and suggests that there is not a subducted Caribbean plateau beneath the island arc. The geologically more realistic gravity model which would explain the N–S shortening observed in the upper crust requires an overthrusted Caribbean slab extending at least 60 km northward from the deformation front, a progressive increase in the thrusting angle from 8° to 30° reaching a maximum depth of 22 km beneath the insular slope. This new tectonic model for the Muertos Margin, defined as a retroarc thrusting, will help to assess the seismic and tsunami hazard in the region. The use of gravity modeling has provided targets for future wide-angle seismic surveys in the Muertos Margin.  相似文献
