超慢速扩张洋中脊具有不同于其他扩张速率洋中脊的特征，表现为剧烈变化的洋壳厚度和典型的非岩浆段。本文对前人研究的洋中脊岩浆形成关键因素和迁移聚集模式进行综合分析，结合实际地球物理和地球化学的观测数据，探讨了超慢速扩张洋中脊岩浆从地幔源区形成、迁移汇聚、形成洋壳的整个地质过程，进一步指出了影响洋壳结构的关键控制因素。研究结果表明，超慢速扩张洋中脊沿轴洋壳厚度的变化受岩浆补给量和迁移汇聚的共同制约。其中，岩浆补给量受控于洋中脊的地幔潜热、地幔成分和扩张速率的变化；岩浆迁移和汇聚过程则与超慢速扩张洋中脊密集的分段特征和阻渗层的空间结构密切相关。 相似文献

现代海底热液循环与洋中脊地质过程一直是国际洋中脊计划研究的热点.海底热液系统多数都与海底玄武岩及其水-岩反应直接相关,而一类与深海橄榄岩的产出及其蛇纹石化作用有关的海底热液系统——超镁铁质岩系热液系统,以具有高浓度H2和CH4异常而低SiO2浓度为显著特征,主要分布在慢速扩张大西洋中脊和超慢速扩张北冰洋Gakkel洋脊和西南印度洋中脊.超镁铁质岩系热液系统在流体组成、构造背景和硫化物成矿方面与玄武岩热液系统有很大差异,主要表现在地幔来源超镁铁质岩石的普遍出露、喷口流体高的H2和CH4异常以及硫化物中高Co/Ni比值.超镁铁质岩系热液系统的发现丰富了全球洋中脊热液系统的研究内容,对洋中脊地质过程、海底热液活动及其成矿作用研究具有重要意义. 相似文献

各种扩张速率下的洋中脊被转换断层和非转换断层分成许多段(长10到100km不等)，而且这种岩浆活动和构造的分段特性在大西洋中脊表现特别明显。洋脊分段特征可以划分为4级。其中，转换断层是1级间断，其错断洋脊距离大于30km，其长度可达1000km左右，存在寿命可达10Ma。相邻转换断层之间的距离间隔也与扩张速率有关：扩张速率最慢处的距离间隔小于200km，中速一快速扩张脊为600～1000km，扩张速率大于140mm／a的脊段上未发现转换断层，总体上转换断层间距随扩张速率而增加。叠接拓展中心、斜向剪切带、火山间隔和横向断错等分别为2～4级间断，出现在两条转换断层之间，使洋中脊错断距离逐渐减少。2～4级区段的洋中脊长度也越来越小，存在的寿命也越来越短，直至4级区段的洋中脊长度一般小于10km，存在寿命为10^2～10^4a。这种分段性无论在超快速、快速、中速、慢速扩张脊，还是超慢速扩张脊都存在，其分段机制都与洋中脊拓展、叠接、跃迁(或废弃)、死亡过程密切相关，而拓展、叠接过程又受多种动力要素控制。正是洋中脊分段的动力机制控制了中央裂谷的存在与否。 相似文献

东南印度洋脊(Southeast Indian Ridge, 简称SEIR)是中速扩张洋中脊, 在其中的108°—134°E区域的全扩张速率为72~76 mm·a -1。但在接近澳大利亚-南极洲不整合带(Australian-Antarctic Discordance, 简称AAD)区内, 海底地貌沿洋中脊的变化强烈, 其变化范围涵盖了从慢速到快速扩张洋中脊上常见的例子, 且出现了明显的地球物理与地球化学异常, 说明洋中脊在AAD区附近的岩浆供应量极不均匀。文章定量分析了高精度多波束测深数据, 计算了洋中脊不同段的地形坡度、断层比例以及平面与剖面的岩浆参数M值, 结合研究区内剩余地幔布格重力异常以及洋中脊轴部地球化学指标Na8.0、Fe8.0等资料, 分析与讨论了研究区的断层构造与岩浆活动特征的关系。研究发现, 东南印度洋脊108°—134°E区域的B区(在AAD区内)及C5段(在AAD区外西侧)发育有大量的海洋核杂岩, 而且B区的海洋核杂岩单体规模更大, 其中最大的位于B3区, 沿洋中脊扩张方向延伸约50km。研究结果首次系统性地显示, 相比东南印度洋的其他区域, B和C5异常区具有偏低的平面与剖面M值、偏高的断层比例、偏正的地幔布格重力异常以及偏高的Na8.0值与偏低的Fe8.0值, 这些异常特征可能反映了B区和C5段的岩浆初始熔融深度较浅以及岩浆熔融程度较低, 因此导致其岩浆供应量异常少, 形成较薄的地壳。研究结果同时表明, 在岩浆供应量极少的洋中脊, 构造伸展作用有利于海洋核杂岩的发育, 导致地壳进一步减薄。 相似文献

The role of the Spitsbergen shear zone in determining morphology,segmentation and evolution of the Knipovich Ridge 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

In 1989–1990 the SeaMARC II side-looking sonar and swath bathymetric system imaged more than 80 000 km2 of the seafloor in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea and southern Arctic Ocean. One of our main goals was to investigate the morphotectonic
evolution of the ultra-slow spreading Knipovich Ridge from its oblique (115° ) intersection with the Mohns Ridge in the south
to its boundary with the Molloy Transform Fault in the north, and to determine whether or not the ancient Spitsbergen Shear
Zone continued to play any involvement in the rise axis evolution and segmentation.
Structural evidence for ongoing northward rift propagation of the Mohns Ridge into the ancient Spitsbergen Shear Zone (forming
the Knipovich Ridge in the process) includes ancient deactivated and migrated transforms, subtle V-shaped-oriented flank faults
which have their apex at the present day Molloy Transform, and rift related faults that extend north of the present Molloy
Transform Fault. The Knipovich Ridge is segmented into distinct elongate basins; the bathymetric inverse of the very-slow
spreading Reykjanes Ridge to the south. Three major fault directions are detected: the N-S oriented rift walls, the highly
oblique en-echelon faults, which reside in the rift valley, and the structures, defining the orientation of many of the axial
highs, which are oblique to both the rift walls and the faults in the axial rift valley.
The segmentation of this slow spreading center is dominated by quasi stationary, focused magma centers creating (axial highs)
located between long oblique rift basins. Present day segment discontinuities on the Knipovich Ridge are aligned along highly
oblique, probably strike-slip faults, which could have been created in response to rotating shear couples within zones of
transtension across the multiple faults of the Spitsbergen Shear Zone. Fault interaction between major strike slip shears
may have lead to the formation of en-echelon pull apart basins. The curved stress trajectories create arcuate faults and subsiding
elongate basins while focusing most of the volcanism through the boundary faults. As a result, the Knipovich Ridge is characterized
by Underlapping magma centers, with long oblique rifts.
This style of basin-dominated segmentation probably evolved in a simple shear detachment fault environment which led to the
extreme morphotectonic and geophysical asymmetries across the rise axis. The influence of the Spitsbergen Shear Zone on the
evolution of the Knipovich Ridge is the primary reason that the segment discontinuities are predominantly volcanic.
Fault orientation data suggest that different extension directions along the Knipovich Ridge and Mohns Ridge (280° vs. 330°,
respectively) cause the crust on the western side of the intersection of these two ridges to buckle and uplift via compression
as is evidenced by the uplifted western wall province and the large 60 mGal free air gravity anomalies in this area.
In addition, the structural data suggest that the northwards propagation of the spreading center is ongoing and that a `normal'
pure shear spreading regime has not evolved along this ridge.

The crenulated geometry of the Southeast Indian ridge within the Australian-Antarctic discordance is formed by numerous spreading ridge segments that are offset, alternately to the north and south, by transform faults. Suggested causes for these offsets, which largely developed since ~ 20 Ma, include asymmetric seafloor spreading, ridge jumps, and propagating rifts that have transferred seafloor from one flank of the spreading ridge to the other. Each of these processes has operated at different times in different locations of the discordance; here we document an instance where a small (~ 20 km), young (< 0.2 Ma), southward ridge jump has contributed to the observed asymmetry. When aeromagnetic anomalies from the Project Investigator-1 survey are superposed on gravity anomalies computed from Geosat GM and ERM data, we find that in segment B4 of the discordance (between 125° and 126° E), the roughly east-west-trending gravity low, correlated with the axial valley, is 20–25 km south of the ridge axis position inferred from the center of magnetic anomaly 1. Elsewhere in the discordance, the inferred locations of the ridge axis from magnetics and gravity are in excellent agreement. Ship track data confirm these observations: portions of Moana Wave track crossing the ridge in B4 show that a topographic valley correlated with the gravity anomaly low lies south of the center of magnetic anomaly 1; while other ship track data that cross the spreading ridge in segments B3 and B5 demonstrate good agreement between the axial valley, the gravity anomaly low, and the central magnetic anomaly. Based on these observations, we speculate that the ridge axis in B4 has recently jumped to the south, from a ridge location closer to the center of the young normally magnetized crust, to that of the gravity anomaly low. The position of the gravity low essentially at the edge of normally magnetized crust requires a very recent (< 0.2 Ma) arrival of the ridge in this new location. Because this ridge jump is so young, it may be a promising location for future detailed studies of the dynamics, kinematics, and thermal effects of ridge jumps.The U.S. Government right to retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license in and to any copyright is acknowledged. 相似文献

The purpose of our work was to obtain the most possible detailed information about the composition, concentration, and structural
features of the magnetic minerals contained in the rock to reveal the differences in the magnetic properties of the peridotites
under various circumstances of the mantle magmatism and different conditions of metamorphism. To do this, we examined and
analyzed the magnetic and petrographic characteristics of four collections of oceanic and alpinotype spinel peridotites. The
main object for comparing the magnetic characteristics was the Gorringe ridge, which lies in the eastern part of the Atlantic
Ocean. The peridotite samples from the Gorringe ridge differ from the other collections in many magnetic parameters: I

. The principal question of our work was to clarify the nature of the Earth’s crust where the Gorringe ridge formed. This
subject was studied many times in the literature, but the researchers did not reach a common opinion. In accordance with our
data, the spinel peridotites from the Gorringe ridge represent a subcontinental lithosphere mantle of the Iberian continental
margin. During the metamorphism, the formation of magnetite occurred in the peridotites of the Gorringe ridge in several stages
and had a regressive character. Our investigations explain the results of the analysis of the anomalous magnetic field over
the Gorringe ridge, which is characterized by sharp roughness and high intensity of the local signchanging anomalies. 相似文献

The central part of the northern Labrador Sea is a magnetic quiet zone, and is flanked by regions exhibiting well developed linear magnetic anomalies older than anomaly 24. The quiet zone dies out progressively to the south, where it becomes possible to correlate anomalies between adjacent profiles. A 45 degree change in spreading direction at anomaly 25 time was accompanied by a major jump in ridge position and orientation. As a consequence of this reorganisation, spreading in the northern Labrador Sea next occurred within a rift that was oriented at 45 degrees to the spreading direction, while to the south spreading occurred within in a rift that was orientated at 90 degrees to the spreading direction. Obliquity of spreading changed, between these limits, progressively along the ridge. The quiet zone may be present to the north because the oblique northern geometry resulted in a fragmented ridge composed of many small-offset transform faults joining many short spreading ridge segments. Each magnetic source block produced by magnetisation of sea floor at these small ridge segments will be surrounded by similar small blocks that have opposite polarity, so that none can be resolved at the sea surface. Supporting evidence comes from multi-channel seismic profiles across the Labrador Sea, which show that the basement is more textured within the quiet zone than outside, suggesting the presence of numerous small fracture zones in the quiet zone.A magnetic quiet zone is present in the northern Greenland Sea between margins that are oblique to the spreading direction. In contrast, there are clear lineated magnetic patterns in adjacent areas to north and south where the margins are orthogonal to the spreading direction. This quiet zone may also be due to the geometry of spreading. 相似文献

The Tamayo transform fault is located at the north end of the East Pacific Rise where it enters the Gulf of California. This paper presents bathymetric, seismic reflection, magnetic, and gravity data from a detailed survey of the transform fault. The dominant feature of the offset region is a bathymetric ridge trending 120°, parallel to the predicted transform plate boundary. This transform ridge is associated with a large (600 ) positive magnetic anomaly, and a very small positive free-air gravity anomaly. Magnetic and gravity models indicate either a basalt or serpentinite composition for the ridge, but cannot distinguish between these possibilities. At its eastern end, the modern zone of strike-slip motion is in a narrow valley south of the transform ridge. The transform plate margin appears to pass through a saddle in the transform ridge and meet the western spreading center segment in the trough north of the transform ridge. On the basis of this survey and previous work, the history of the Tamayo from continental breakup to the present has been reconstructed. Initial rifting occurred along a trend of 130° at approximately 3.5 m.y.b.p. Once the transform fault was free of the constraints imposed by continent-continent and continent-oceanic lithospheric interaction, the trend of the transform fault rotated counter-clockwise. This rotation resulted in a leaky transform fault and intrusion of a large continuous transform ridge. Further adjustments in the spreading center/transform fault plate boundary configuration have given rise to an incipient zone of rifting cutting across the transform ridge and emplacement of diapiric structures.Contribution of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, new series. 相似文献

Magnetic data collected in conjunction with a Sea Beam bathymetric survey of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Kane Fracture
Zone are used to constrain the spreading history of this area over the past 3 Ma. Two-dimensional forward modeling and inversion
techniques are carried out, as well as a full three-dimensional inversion of the anomaly field along a 90-km-long section
of the rift valley. Our results indicate that this portion of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, known as the MARK area, consists of
two distinct spreading cells separated by a small, zero-offset transform or discordant zone near 23°10′ N, The youngest crust
in the median valley is characterized by a series of distinct magnetization highs which coalesce to form two NNE-trending
bands of high magnetization, one on the northern ridge segment which coincides with a large constructional volcanic ridge,
and one along the southern ridge segment that is associated with a string of small axial volcanos. These two magnetization
highs overlap between 23° N and 23°10° N forming a non-transform offset that may be a slow spreading ridge analogue of the
small ridge axis discontinuities found on the East Pacific Rise. The crustal magnetizations in this overlap zone are generally
low, although an anomalous, ESE-trending magnetization high of unknown origin is also present in this area. The present-day
segmentation of spreading in the MARK area was inherited from an earlier ridge-transform-ridge geometry through a series of
small (∼ 10 km) eastward ridge jumps. These small ridge jumps were caused by a relocation of the neovolcanic zone within the
median valley and have resulted in an overall pattern of asymmetric spreading with faster rates to the west (14 mm yr−1) than to the east (11 mm yr−1). Although the detailed magnetic survey described in this paper extends out to only 3 Ma old crust, a regional compilation
of magnetic data from this area by Schoutenet al. (1985) indicates that the relative positions and dimensions of the spreading cells, and the pattern of asymmetric spreading
seen in the MARK area during the past 3 Ma, have characterized this part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge for at least the past 36

A detailed study of the Gagua Ridge: A fracture zone uplifted during a plate reorganisation in the Mid-Eocene 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Recent multibeam bathymetric and geophysical data recorded in the West Philippine Basin, east of Taiwan, reveal new information on the structure and the tectonic origin of the oceanic Gagua Ridge. This linear, 300 km-long, 4 km-high, north-south-trending ridge, is being subducted beneath the Ryukyu Trench along 123° E. This basement high separates two basins of different ages. Its summit is marked by two crests and an axial valley. A map of the basement top shows the region of the ridge to be composed of a set of linear and parallel ridges and troughs. All these elements suggest that the development of the ridge, and its surroundings, has been influenced by strike-slip deformation. Nevertheless, the height of the ridge indicates also an important compressive component in the deformation. Gravity models across the ridge show local compensation with a crustal root, indicating that an overthickening of the crust occurred when it was young and thus more easily deformable. This idea is strengthened with flexural modeling of the lithosphere that bends under the load of the ridge, indeed it indicates that the high probably formed when the underlying lithosphere was young. We interpret the Gagua Ridge as a fracture zone transverse ridge uplifted during a transpressive episode along a north-south -trending fracture zone in the middle Eocene time, if we accept Hilde and Lee's (1984) model of magnetic lineations. This tectonic event could be contemporaneous with a change of the pole of rotation of the West Philippine Basin which occurred about 43/45 Ma ago. 相似文献

The West O’Gorman Fracture Zone is an unusual feature that lies between the Mathematician Ridge and the East Pacific Rise
on crust generated on the East Pacific Rise between 4 and 9 million years ago. We made a reconnaissance gravity, magnetic
and Sea Beam study of the zone with particular emphasis on its eastern (youngest) portion. That region is characterized by
an elongate main trough, a prominent median ridge and other, smaller ridges and troughs. The structure has the appearance
of large-offset fracture zone, possibly in a slow spreading environment. However, magnetic anomalies indicate that the offset,
if any, is quite small, and the spreading rate during formation was fast. In addition, the magnetic profiles do not support
earlier models for a difference in spreading rate north and south of the fracture. The morphology of the fracture zone suggests
that flexure may be responsible for some of the topography; but gravity studies indicate some of the most prominent features
of the fracture zone are at least partially compensated. The main trough is underlain by a thin crust (or high density body),
similar to large-offset fracture zones in the Atlantic, while the median ridge is underlain by a thickened crust. Sea Beam
data does not unambiguously resolve between volcanism or serpentinization of the upper mantle as a mechanism for isostatic
compensation.
Why the West O’Gorman exists remains enigmatic, but we speculate that the topographic expression of a fracture zone does not
require a transform offset during formation. Perhaps the spreading ridge was magma starved for some reason, resulting in a
thin crust that allowed water to penetrate and serpentinize portions of the upper mantle. 相似文献

The present morphology and tectonic evolution of more than 1500 kilometres of the Central Indian Ridge are described and discussed following the integration of GLORIA side-scan sonographs with conventional geophysical datasets. Segmentation of the ridge occurs by a series of ridge axis discontinuities ranging in periodicity along strike from 275 km to less than 30 km. These segment boundaries we have classified into two types: first order fracture zones of offsets greater than 50 km which bound five major (mega-) segments, and smaller scale structures of a variety of offset styles and amplitudes which cut four of these segments. We refer to these as ridge-axis discontinuities. The frequent opposite sense of offset identified between the first order structures and the subordinate discontinuities between these major structures is interpreted as resulting from the adjustment to new kinematic parameters after magnetic anomaly 20. As far as our data allows us to determine, the central major segment is not subdivided by minor ridge axis discontinuities, which we suggest is a result of its proximity to the Rodriguez hotspot. 相似文献

The application of advanced enhancement techniques for geophysical anomalies to global gravity (WGM2012) and magnetic (EMAG2) models sheds light on the complex tectonic evolution of the Rio Grande Rise (RGR) in the southern South Atlantic. Long wavelength Bouguer gravity lows indicate a thicker crust beneath of the ridge, whose nature can be related to a microcontinent or an excess of volcanism within the oceanic realm. Recently dredged continental rocks reinforce the hypothesis of a microcontinent or, at least, slivers of continental crust. However, the reserval magnetic pattern of the processed magnetic anomalies provide no evidence of aborted spreading center similar to the well-studied Jan Mayen microcontinent and the surrounding (inactive) Aegir and (active) Kolbeinsey ridges in the North Atlantic Ocean. The reversal magnetic anomalies show a series N-S trending parallel stripes roughly follow the current South American coastline and segmented by E-W oriented oceanic fracture zones (FZs). The magnetic stripes are bended eastwards at the RGR, showing a more complex magnetic pattern similar to that in the Iceland. The aborted Cruzeiro do Sul Rift (CSR) and the Jean Charcot Chain (JCC) are structures that cross the RGR and contribute to the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the South Atlantic Ocean. NW-SE oriented extensive gravity lows and bathymetric valleys, which mark the CSR, are segmented by E-W trending magnetic lineaments related to FZs. This structural configuration suggests that the extensional event, which formed the rift and the seamounts chain, was replaced by strike-slip movements along the FZs. In addition, we constructed a plate kinematic model for the evolution of the RGR based on bathymetric, free-air and Bouguer gravity and magnetic data. Our model comprises five main stages of the RGR formation and evolution between late Cretaceous and Paleocene (ca. 95 - 60 Ma), separated by published seafloor isochrones. The proposed model suggests that the RGR was built at the mid-Atlantic ridge by increased magmatism probably related to the Tristan da Cunha hotspot. 相似文献
