本文旨在厘清中生代中国东缘受泛太平洋板块俯冲作用影响下,其可能形成的地质记录的时空分布与泛太平洋板块活动的关系。前者主要从岩浆、构造、沉积盆地的时空演化等角度出发,后者的运动学参数集中在俯冲角度、速度、方向等维度。结果显示:俯冲角度、速度以及方向的改变都有可能形成与之对应的地质事件;但是中国东缘(东北、华北和华南)区域地质记录间的差异也表明,即使都可能遭受俯冲作用,由于个体特殊的构造背景,最终的结果也不尽相同。我们对于中国东缘中、新生代的这一特殊构造现象进行了讨论,得出如下结论:首先三联点力学稳定性分析结果认为,在华北和华南碰撞拼合后,中国大陆东缘可能存在TTT、TTR或者TFT的三联点,而不是简单的稳定的被动大陆边缘;另外,中国华南早、中侏罗世近东西向岩浆岩的形成可能与法拉隆板块和伊泽奈岐板块洋中脊俯冲有关;晚侏罗—早白垩世的板片后撤由NWW向的伊泽奈岐板块与太平洋板块的洋中脊扩张作用所致;而华北克拉通东部记录侏罗纪伊泽奈岐板块俯冲的证据不足,可能并没有发生板块俯冲作用,表现为板块运动与作为中国东部最为薄弱地区的郯庐断裂带的强烈耦合作用。  相似文献

早白垩世时期华北克拉通的演化为探索大陆再造提供了典型案例,强烈地壳伸展、岩石圈减薄及克拉通破坏的机理及动力学长期以来一直是争议的焦点。早白垩世岩石圈伸展形成了包括辽南和五莲变质核杂岩在内的地壳伸展构造组合,同时伴随着巨量壳- 幔岩浆活动性,这些构造- 岩浆活动是克拉通岩石圈壳- 幔耦合拆离与解耦拆离作用的结果,可以用克拉通岩石圈壳- 幔拆离模型(parallel extension tectonics)解释。与此同时,具有相似特点(时间、几何学、运动学和动力学)的构造- 岩浆活动遍布包含东北亚、中国华北和华南及俄罗斯远东地区等在内的整个欧亚大陆东部地区,反映在统一构造环境中发展和演化的本质,而华北克拉通成为早白垩世欧亚大陆东部地区岩石圈伸展的典型案例。广布的早白垩世伸展构造东侧紧邻古太平洋板块俯冲作用形成的陆缘增生杂岩带,构成独特的古太平洋型活动大陆边缘。这种大陆边缘保留和记录了与现今西太平洋型和安第斯型活动大陆边缘全然不一致的构造特点,包含增生杂岩(海沟增生楔处)与面状伸展构造域两个构造要素,但缺乏典型的大规模岩浆弧的存在。地幔分层对流对于古太平洋- 欧亚大陆间洋陆相互作用、大陆岩石圈伸展、克拉通岩石圈减薄与破坏提供了重要动力来源,而板块边缘力起着重要的辅助作用。  相似文献

东海陆架盆地处于欧亚板块东南缘,其构造演化、动力学机制转换同太平洋板块与欧亚板块碰撞及印度-澳大利亚板块远程推挤效应有关。中生代以来,该盆地形成和演化过程受到古太平洋板块多期俯冲及多构造体系的叠加改造,地质构造和地球物理场复杂,盆地演化及动力学过程等一直是争论的焦点。本文利用最新调查资料,通过构造物理模拟实验、构造解析和平衡地质复原剖面等方法,结合区域构造背景,系统分析了东海陆架盆地中生代演化过程,探讨了其构造动力学转换过程。研究认为东海陆架盆地自中生代以来经历了晚三叠世前的被动大陆边缘和晚三叠世-中侏罗世活动大陆边缘挤压坳陷型盆地阶段,挤压应力来源于伊泽奈崎板块向欧亚大陆板块的低角度俯冲;早白垩世晚期-晚白垩世活动陆缘伸展断陷型盆地阶段,应力来源于太平洋板块向欧亚大陆板块俯冲后撤导致的岩石圈减薄作用;古近纪为弧后伸展断陷型盆地阶段。同时认为东海陆架盆地古特提斯构造域向古太平洋构造域转换的时间应该发生在中三叠世末期,古太平洋板块低角度俯冲和俯冲后撤代表华南中生代深部地质过程。  相似文献

作为海陆过渡带的活动大陆边缘和岛弧,是构造活动最活跃和地貌景象最壮观的地带。在那里沉积作用、岩浆活动、构造变动、变质作用和成矿作用都留下深刻的烙印。它是大洋地壳向大陆地壳演化的纽带,也是探索大陆地壳成长和增生的关键地带。因此,八十年代开始的国际全球岩石圈计划,作为当前重点研究课题之一。 1885年休斯(E.Suess)早已指出了活动的太平洋型大陆边缘和被动的大西洋型大陆边缘构造的差异特征。从二十世纪六十年代板块理论问世以来,又将太平洋(活动)型大陆边缘进一步划分为三种亚类型:科迪勒拉型,安第斯型和岛弧型。太平洋型活动大陆边缘,中、新生代以来,有明显的板块碰撞和B型俯冲潜没作用,并伴随有火山作用,地  相似文献

我国东北之吉林—黑龙江省东部处于滨太平洋构造域。在三叠纪时,那丹哈达岭受库拉板块作用影响,开始时拉裂分离成为边缘海盆,发育有洋壳岩石,随后在晚三叠世发生俯冲作用和蛇绿岩侵位,那丹哈达岭则是一板块俯冲带。与此同时,在大陆边缘地带——太平岭、长白山及张广才岭一带发生活化,形成一系列断陷盆地;同时伴随有强烈岩浆喷溢-侵入活动,结果造成一条巨大的火山-花岗岩带。按构造性质它属于安第斯型活动大陆边缘。  相似文献

新生代印欧大陆碰撞引发了中国西部前缘大规模多阶段地壳挤压缩短、构造变形与隆升及岩浆事件,在中国东部,新生代山脉的抬升、盆地的伸展、沉降,以及郯庐断裂带新生代的活动与青藏高原的隆升具有准同时性,伸展盆地-伸展山脉之间存在耦合关系。这种对应关系呈"幕式"变化,主要表现在印欧大陆碰撞岩石圈增厚、构造变形和抬升的高峰时期,对应盆地岩石圈伸展、减薄、快速构造沉降以及郯庐断裂带活动等阶段,当构造转入相对稳定(松弛)时期,表现为高原剥蚀夷平、岩浆活动频繁以及盆地构造沉降速率减缓等阶段。从全球板块构造的角度来看,中国西部、东部新生代挤压、伸展和走滑活动属同一动力学体系条件下的耦合关系,驱动力可能是两大板块碰撞、深部地幔脉动上涌以及新生代太平洋板块与欧亚板块俯冲和速率变化的共同作用。  相似文献

受控古太平洋板块俯冲及后撤作用,华南晚中生代经历了强烈大陆再造,并伴随幕式岩浆活动,是研究活动大陆边缘构造- 岩浆作用、壳幔过程和板块俯冲动力学的天然实验室。本文系统综述了近年来发表的构造变形、岩浆作用和深部结构等多学科成果,以构造解析为主线,深- 浅结合,在华南识别出与古太平洋板块俯冲相关的中晚侏罗世弧背缩短和白垩纪弧后伸展系统,厘定了二者的时空格架和叠加改造关系。弧背缩短系统以扬子中部的隔档- 隔槽式褶皱、深部多层滑脱和双重逆冲推覆构造为特征,具SE向NW的逆冲扩展变形规律,与古太平洋板块的前进式俯冲有关。白垩纪主体以大陆伸展为主,经历了伸展和挤压变形交替,并伴随着岩浆活动的爆发、迁移和停止,其可能与板片俯冲动力学变化有关。在此基础上,我们分析了白垩纪岩石圈长距离伸展的深部过程及浅表响应,提出了岩石圈随深度变化的分层差异伸展模式。自下而上,从岩石圈地幔到上地壳,应变近一致地表现为(W)NW- (E)SE伸展,反映了垂向变形一致性。可能的垂向应力传播过程:板片后撤诱发长距离地幔流,其在岩石圈底部形成剪切牵引应力,促进下岩石圈地幔被动拉伸;上岩石圈地幔局部发育强应变剪切带,作为应力传播构造,其可有效加强壳- 幔间剪切,促进下地壳韧性拉伸,将下地壳和岩石圈地幔的变形关联。我们认为岩石圈伸展、板片后撤和地幔流形成了三位一体的动力学耦合系统,将华南岩石圈长距离伸展的驱动力归结为:① 古太平洋俯冲带海沟后撤和板片回卷诱发的远程效应,和② 地幔流在岩石圈底部施加的剪切牵引应力。  相似文献

The structural coupling is a common geological phenomenon. The structural differences between eastern and western active continental margins of modern Pacific and between paleo-Pacific and modern-Pacific continental margins are related to the characteristics and status of the subducting oceanic plate, namely, 1. subducting angle; 2. change in subducting angle; 3. subducting velocity; 4. change in subducting velocity; 5. subduction depth; 6. horizontal distance between the leading edge of the subducting plate and the trench; 7. the structural form of the subducting plate at the 670kin boundary between the upper and lower mantle; 8. the displacement and the direction of displacement of subducting plate. The control and influence toward the shallow-level structures by the deep-level structural activities is a detailed representation of the structural coupling on active continental margin. The basin-maintain coupling phenomenon is an intracontinental structural coupling. The far field effect of collision be  相似文献

We investigate the effect of the westerly rotation of the lithosphere on the active margins that surround the Americas and find good correlations between the inferred easterly-directed mantle counterflow and the main structural grain and kinematics of the Andes and Sandwich arc slabs.In the Andes,the subduction zone is shallow and with low dip,because the mantle flow sustains the slab;the subduction hinge converges relative to the upper plate and generates an uplifting doubly verging orogen.The Sandwich Arc is generated by a westerly-directed SAM(South American) plate subduction where the eastward mantle flow is steepening and retreating the subduction zone.In this context,the slab hinge is retreating relative to the upper plate,generating the backarc basin and a low bathymetry single-verging accretionary prism.In Central America,the Caribbean plate presents a more complex scenario:(a) To the East,the Antilles Arc is generated by westerly directed subduction of the SAM plate,where the eastward mantle flow is steepening and retreating the subduction zone.(b) To the West,the Middle America Trench and Arc are generated by the easterly-directed subduction of the Cocos plate,where the shallow subduction caused by eastward mantle flow in its northern segment gradually steepens to the southern segment as it is infered by the preexisting westerly-directed subduction of the Caribbean Plateau.In the frame of the westerly lithospheric flow,the subduction of a divergent active ridge plays the role of introducing a change in the oceanic/continental plate's convergence angle,such as in NAM(North American)plate with the collision with the Pacific/Farallon active ridge in the Neogene(Cordilleran orogenic type scenario).The easterly mantle drift sustains strong plate coupling along NAM,showing at Juan de Fuca easterly subducting microplate that the subduction hinge advances relative to the upper plate.This lower/upper plate convergence coupling also applies along strike to the neighbor continental strike slip fault systems where subduction was terminated(San Andreas and Queen Charlotte).The lower/upper plate convergence coupling enables the capture of the continental plate ribbons of Baja California and Yakutat terrane by the Pacific oceanic plate,transporting them along the strike slip fault systems as para-autochthonous terranes.This Cordilleran orogenic type scenario,is also recorded in SAM following the collision with the Aluk/Farallon active ridge in the Paleogene,segmenting SAM margin into the eastwardly subducting Tupac Amaru microplate intercalated between the proto-LiquineOfqui and Atacama strike slip fault systems,where subduction was terminated and para-autochthonous terranes transported.In the Neogene,the convergence of Nazca plate with respect to SAM reinstalls subduction and the present Andean orogenic type scenario.  相似文献

动力沉降是动力地形的一种,即动力地形低。动力地形一般认为具有两种成因,一种为与超大陆集聚和分散有关的动力地形,另一种为与大洋板片俯冲有关的动力地形。大陆边缘动力沉降的模拟已经提出了不同的动力学模型,如大洋板块缓倾角或陡倾角俯冲模型、不同样式(俯冲角度变化和速度变化)和性质(大洋岩石圈热年代变化等)的大洋板块俯冲模式和具应力引导的、动态三维的板块俯冲模型。关于大陆边缘动力沉降及其深部板块俯冲作用控制的研究已经趋向更加符合实际、更加精细和系统。对深部地幔活动及其地表动力地形响应的深入研究有望对关于大陆边缘区高级别层序单元及其界面的成因机制、大陆内部动力沉降与深部构造作用之间的耦合关系、我国晚中生代至新生代大陆边缘区动力学背景和油气资源评价等问题的研究取得新的进展和突破。  相似文献

地壳放射性生热效应对大陆俯冲过程影响的数值模拟研究   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
岩体中的放射性生热是地幔对流和地壳变质作用的关键热源之一,但地壳放射性生热率是如何影响大陆俯冲-碰撞的动力学过程,尤其是大陆碰撞区域的热结构演化,尚未获得共识。本文使用热-力学数值模拟方法对上、下地壳放射性生热率进行系统的模拟实验,以研究其对大陆俯冲动力学演化过程的影响。模型实验表明,由于大陆上地壳富集U、Th和K等主要放射性生热元素,且放射性生热率的变化区间较大(1.0~3.0μW/m~3),导致其对大陆俯冲碰撞动力学演化过程的影响较为显著,主要包括进入俯冲通道内的上地壳体积大小、碰撞区域内地壳熔融范围、俯冲下地壳物质折返的规模和两大陆的耦合程度等四个方面。而大陆下地壳则以中-基性岩为主,相对亏损U、Th、K等主要放射性生热元素,且放射性生热率的变化区域较小(0.2~0.8μW/m~3),致使其对大陆俯冲演化过程的影响相对有限,主要通过控制俯冲下地壳以及大陆板片的粘滞度和流变强度的大小,进而制约大陆俯冲过程下地壳物质折返的规模以及板片倾角的大小。  相似文献

为了深入探讨大洋俯冲和大陆碰撞沿走向的转换及其动力学特征,同时更好的理解俯冲-碰撞带的流体-熔体活动及其效应,我们建立了一系列三维空间的大尺度、高分辨率的动力学数值模型。模拟结果显示,在板块会聚过程中,流体-熔体活动可以降低周围岩石的流变强度及两个板块之间的耦合作用,并能够促进大陆碰撞带俯冲板块的断离。同时,俯冲-碰撞带的空间转换模型揭示其深部结构存在巨大的沿走向的差异性,大陆碰撞带发生俯冲板块断离,而大洋俯冲板块持续下插。并且上覆板块的地壳物质发生从陆-陆碰撞带向洋-陆俯冲带的侧向逃逸。这种三维空间中沿走向的差异性俯冲-碰撞模式与中-东特提斯构造带相吻合,并揭示其动力学机制。  相似文献

How was Taiwan created?   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Since the beginning of formation of proto-Taiwan during late Miocene (9 Ma), the subducting Philippine (PH) Sea plate moved continuously through time in the N307° direction at a 5.6 cm/year velocity with respect to Eurasia (EU), tearing the Eurasian plate. Strain states within the EU crust are different on each side of the western PH Sea plate boundary (extensional in the Okinawa Trough and northeastern Taiwan versus contractional for the rest of Taiwan Island). The B feature corresponds to the boundary between the continental and oceanic parts of the subducting Eurasian plate and lies in the prolongation of the ocean–continent boundary of the northern South China Sea. Strain rates in the Philippines to northern Taiwan accretionary prism are similar on each side of B (contractional), though with different strain directions, perhaps in relation with the change of nature of the EU slab across B. Consequently, in the process of Taiwan mountain building, the deformation style was probably not changing continuously from the Manila to the Ryukyu subduction zones. The Luzon intra-oceanic arc only formed south of B, above the subducting Eurasian oceanic lithosphere. North of B, the Luzon arc collided with EU simultaneously with the eastward subduction of a portion of EU continental lithosphere beneath the Luzon arc. In its northern portion, the lower part of the Luzon arc was subducting beneath Eurasia while the upper part accreted against the Ryukyu forearc. Among the consequences of such a simple geodynamic model: (i) The notion of continuum from subduction to collision might be questioned. (ii) Traces of the Miocene volcanic arc were never found in the southwestern Ryukyu arc. We suggest that the portion of EU continental lithosphere, which has subducted beneath the Coastal Range, might include the Miocene Ryukyu arc volcanoes formed west of 126°E longitude and which are missing today. (iii) The 150-km-wide oceanic domain located south of B between the Luzon arc and the Manila trench, above the subducting oceanic EU plate (South China Sea) was progressively incorporated into the EU plate north of B.  相似文献

40% of the subduction margins of the Earth are intra-oceanic. They show significant variability in terms of extension and shortening. We investigated numerically the physical controls of these processes using a 2D petrological-thermo-mechanical intra-oceanic subduction model with spontaneous volcanic arc growth and deformation. We varied the fluid- and melt-related weakening, the ages of both the subduction slab and the overriding plate, the subducting plate velocities, and the cohesive strength of rocks. Three main geodynamic regimes were identified: retreating subduction with opening of a backarc basin, stable subduction, and advancing, compressive subduction. The main difference between these regimes is the degree of rheological coupling between plates, which is governed by the intensity of rheological weakening induced by fluids and melts. Retreating subduction regimes require plate decoupling, which results from strong weakening due to both fluids and melts. Spreading centers nucleate either in forearc or in intraarc regions. Episodic trench migration is often due to variations of plate coupling with time, which is caused by (fore) arc deformation. Stable subduction regime with little variation in the trench position forms at an intermediate plate coupling and shows a transient behavior from the retreating to advancing modes. The advancing subduction regime results from strong plate coupling. At the mature stage, this subduction mode is associated with both partial fragmentation and subduction of the previously serpentinized forearc region. Forearc subduction is typically associated with a magmatic pulse, which is caused by dehydration of subducted serpentinized forearc fragments. Our models demonstrate distinct differences in thermal and lithological structure of subduction zones formed in these different geodynamic regimes. Results compare well with variations observed in natural intra-oceanic arcs.  相似文献

平板俯冲是地球上一种独特的俯冲模式,主要发生在南美洲地区,与该地区的地震、火山等构造地质现象有着密切联系。平板俯冲的形成机制和影响因素仍然需要进一步地研究。文章通过数值模拟的方法,研究了俯冲板块的动力学性质对于平俯冲板片形态的影响。模拟实验结果表明,俯冲板块的厚度和密度差(与地幔)对平板俯冲的形成有着决定性的影响。合适的俯冲板块厚度(70 km 左右)有利于在俯冲过程中形成平板片。厚度较大的板片难以发生弯曲,阻碍了平板片的形成。俯冲板块与地幔的密度差越小,越容易形成平板俯冲,平板片的长度也越长。俯冲板片的密度差太大也不利于形成平板片。此外,高粘度的俯冲板块容易形成平板俯冲,俯冲板块的粘度与形成的平板片的长度也成正比。研究还发现,平板俯冲的形成伴随着海沟后撤速率的减小。参考模型重现了智利中部平板俯冲的形态,为研究该地区的平板俯冲机制提供了新认识。  相似文献

Seismic coupling and uncoupling at subduction zones   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Seismic coupling has been used as a qualitative measure of the “interaction” between the two plates at subduction zones. Kanamori (1971) introduced seismic coupling after noting that the characteristic size of earthquakes varies systematically for the northern Pacific subduction zones. A quantitative global comparison of many subduction zones reveals a strong correlation of earthquake size with two other variables: age of the subducting lithosphere and convergence rate. The largest earthquakes occur in zones with young lithosphere and fast convergence rates, while zones with old lithosphere and slow rates are relatively aseismic for large earthquakes. Results from a study of the rupture process of three great earthquakes indicate that maximum earthquake size is directly related to the asperity distribution on the fault plane (asperities are strong regions that resist the motion between the two plates). The zones with the largest earthquakes have very large asperities, while the zones with smaller earthquakes have small scattered asperities. This observation can be translated into a simple model of seismic coupling, where the horizontal compressive stress between the two plates is proportional to the ratio of the summed asperity area to the total area of the contact surface. While the variation in asperity size is used to establish a connection between earthquake size and tectonic stress, it also implies that plate age and rate affect the asperity distribution. Plate age and rate can control asperity distribution directly by use of the horizontal compressive stress associated with the “preferred trajectory” (i.e. the vertical and horizontal velocities of subducting slabs are determined by the plate age and convergence velocity). Indirect influences are many, including oceanic plate topography and the amount of subducted sediments.All subduction zones are apparently uncoupled below a depth of about 40 km, and we propose that the basalt to eclogite phase change in the down-going oceanic crust may be largely responsible. This phase change should start at a depth of 30–35 km, and could at least partially uncouple the plates by superplastic deformation throughout the oceanic crust during the phase change.  相似文献

Slow–ultraslow spreading oceans are mostly floored by mantle peridotites and are typified by rifted continental margins, where subcontinental lithospheric mantle is preserved. Structural and petrologic investigations of the high-pressure (HP) Alpine Voltri Massif ophiolites, which were derived from the Late Jurassic Ligurian Tethys fossil slow–ultraslow spreading ocean, reveal the fate of the oceanic peridotites/serpentinites during subduction to depths involving eclogite-facies conditions, followed by exhumation.

The Ligurian Tethys was formed by continental extension within the Europe–Adria lithosphere and consisted of sea-floor exposed mantle peridotites with an uppermost layer of oceanic serpentinites and of subcontinental lithospheric mantle at the rifted continental margins. Plate convergence caused eastward subduction of the oceanic lithosphere of the Europe plate and the uppermost serpentinite layer of the subducting slab formed an antigorite serpentinite-subduction channel. Sectors of the rather unaltered mantle lithosphere of the Adria extended margin underwent ablative subduction and were detached, embedded, and buried to eclogite-facies conditions within the serpentinite-subduction channel. At such P–T conditions, antigorite serpentinites from the oceanic slab underwent partial HP dehydration (antigorite dewatering and growth of new olivine). Water fluxing from partial dehydration of host serpentinites caused partial HP hydration (growth of Ti-clinohumite and antigorite) of the subducted Adria margin peridotites. The serpentinite-subduction channel (future Beigua serpentinites), acting as a low-viscosity carrier for high-density subducted rocks, allowed rapid exhumation of the almost unaltered Adria peridotites (future Erro–Tobbio peridotites) and their emplacement into the Voltri Massif orogenic edifice. Over in the past 35 years, this unique geologic architecture has allowed us to investigate the pristine structural and compositional mantle features of the subcontinental Erro–Tobbio peridotites and to clarify the main steps of the pre-oceanic extensional, tectonic–magmatic history of the Europe–Adria asthenosphere–lithosphere system, which led to the formation of the Ligurian Tethys.

Our present knowledge of the Voltri Massif provides fundamental information for enhanced understanding, from a mantle perspective, of formation, subduction, and exhumation of oceanic and marginal lithosphere of slow–ultraslow spreading oceans.  相似文献
