丽水-椒江凹陷是晚白垩世以来发展起来的大陆边缘裂陷盆地.本文利用平衡剖面技术恢复计算了丽水-椒江凹陷不同构造部位各裂陷伸展期的盆地伸展量、伸展系数和伸展率.研究表明:研究区晚白垩世至古新世裂陷作用具有"幕式"渐进发展的特征,可划分为三个裂陷伸展期:早期(晚白垩世)的断陷主要由相对分散、独立的小断陷组成,控制半地堑凹陷的主断层主要以书斜式(domino-style)为主;中、晚期(古新世)的断陷由相互连通的半地堑凹陷组成,其主干断层以犁状(listric)或坡坪状(ramp-flat)正断层为特征.研究区不同构造部位其水平伸展率不同,表现为水平伸展量由南西向北东由大变小的特征,最大伸展期亦表现为由南西向北东变晚的规律.  相似文献

东北亚地区晚侏罗—白垩纪构造格架主体特点   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
将东北地区主体构造特征置于东北亚大地构造背景中进行分析,可将东北亚地区晚中生代—古近纪的构造演化划分为3个时段:1)中—晚侏罗世,特提斯洋扩张及古北美大陆板块与古欧亚大陆之间的碰撞,致使蒙古—鄂霍茨克湾闭合,形成大规模深层次逆冲构造;并在南蒙古和华北地块北缘产生远距离的构造叠加效应。2)晚侏罗—早白垩世,特提斯洋板块、古太平洋构造域(包括古太平洋和伊泽纳奇板块)与古欧亚大陆之间的联合作用,导致亚洲东部大陆地壳向东蠕散、伸展和断块活动,伴随发育小型断陷盆地和变质核杂岩。3)早白垩世末(阿尔布晚期)—新近纪(中新世),特提斯洋板块(后期包括印度大陆)、太平洋构造域与欧亚大陆间的联合作用,导致古太平洋(或伊泽纳奇板块)消失及鄂霍茨克海微板块与欧亚大陆之间的碰撞,在大陆边缘叠加形成火山-深成岩带和坳陷盆地。在100~40Ma期间,太平洋构造域与欧亚大陆之间的相互作用,对欧亚大陆东部边缘产生重大影响,在导致大陆岩石圈-地壳减薄、地幔类型转变和强烈深成构造-岩浆活动的同时,也产生一系列与大陆边缘断块活动有关的浅层效应。  相似文献

加勒比板块边缘中新生代构造古地理特征及演化   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
加勒比板块边缘带包括西缘中美洲古陆块及火山岛弧、北缘大安的列斯岛弧带、东缘小安的列斯岛弧带和南缘南美板块北部4个部分,其沉积充填特征存在明显差异。加勒比板块边缘接受沉积时间由西向东逐渐变晚,其中中美洲古陆块以碳酸盐岩及火山碎屑岩充填为主,大安的列斯岛弧带及南美板块北部地区以碳酸盐岩—碎屑岩混合沉积充填为特征,中美洲火山岛弧带与东缘小安的列斯岛弧带以火山碎屑岩充填为主,造成这种沉积充填差异的主要原因是构造演化控制下的加勒比地区的古地理特征不同。加勒比板块及其周缘地区的构造古地理演化共经历4个阶段:(1)侏罗纪裂谷期,泛大陆的裂解使得南、北美板块边缘发育裂谷相;(2)白垩纪被动陆缘期,古加勒比海槽的进一步打开使得南、北美板块边缘发育被动大陆边缘浅海相;(3)晚白垩世—始新世碰撞造山期,加勒比板块与南、北美板块的碰撞拼合作用使得加勒比板块南、北缘均从海相转变为碰撞造山陆相;(4)始新世以来的分异期,随着古加勒比海槽的消亡和北缘碰撞拼合的结束,加勒比板块东缘及西缘的火山岛弧带进一步发育,而北缘及南缘继续发育陆相沉积。  相似文献

桂西北南丹-荔波地区是我国重要的锡多金属矿床富集地,近年来油气勘探显示该区亦具有极大的海相页岩气成藏潜力。因此,深入探讨和认识该区中、新生代构造应力场特征及其构造演化是成矿规律研究和页岩气勘探过程中不可或缺的重要环节。本文以南丹-荔波地区广泛发育的褶皱、共轭节理和断层为研究对象,在详细野外观测的基础上,利用叠加褶皱、共轭节理分析以及断层滑动矢量等方法,反演了研究区中、新生代构造应力场变化。构造解析表明,该区中、新生代共经历了四期构造应力场的交替和演化,分别为NNE-SSW 向挤压、NW-SE 向挤压、NEE-SWW 向伸展和近E-W 向挤压。结合区域构造演化特征,推测NNE-SSW 向挤压应力场的形成可能与印支期华南大陆南北边缘与印支/华北板块碰撞闭合有关;NW-SE 向挤压应力场和NEE-SWW 向伸展应力场可能分别对应于燕山早期古太平洋板块向华南大陆之下的俯冲消减以及燕山晚期发生的弧后伸展作用;近E-W 向挤压应力场可能形成于喜山期印度?欧亚板块陆陆碰撞所产生远程效应的构造背景之下。  相似文献

利用地震资料、油气勘探资料分析了南海北部大陆边缘珠江口-琼东南新生代盆地断裂系统的时空差异及动力学成因机制.珠江口-琼东南盆地古近系裂陷构造层以NE向、近EW向基底正断层构成的伸展断裂系统的几何学、运动学沿着盆地走向有明显变化,盆地内部隐伏的区域性和局部的NW向断裂及相关构造变形带构成伸展断裂系统之间的构造变换带.在空间上,区域性的云开、松涛-松南等NW向构造变换带以西为NE-NEE向正断层构成的"非拆离"伸展断层系,以东为NE向正断层、近EW向正断层(走滑正断层)复合而成的拆离伸展断层系.在时间上,古近纪裂陷作用可划分为早(文昌组沉积期)、中(恩平组/崖城组沉积期)、晚(珠海组/陵水组沉积期)3个有明显差异的裂陷期.裂陷早期,盆地西部以平面式正断层控制的简单地堑、半地堑为主,伸展量相对较小,东部则以铲式正断层控制的复式地堑、半地堑为主,伸展量相对大,断层向深部收敛在中地壳韧性层构成拆离的伸展断层系统.裂陷中期,琼东南盆地、珠江口盆地西部断裂具有继承性活动特点,珠江口盆地东部发育NWW-EW向伸展断层,并向深层切割早期浅层拆离断层,形成深层拆离伸展断层系统,而沿着云开构造变换带发育反转构造.裂陷晚期,琼东南盆地、珠江口盆地西部断裂具有活动性减弱特点,琼东南盆地东部发育NWW-EW向伸展断层,形成深层拆离伸展断层系统,而沿着琼中央构造变换带发育反转、走滑构造.珠江口-琼东南盆地不同区段断裂系统及其构造演化的差异性受盆地基底先存构造、地壳及岩石圈结构及伸展量等多方面因素的影响,拆离伸展断层系统与发育NWW向"贯穿"断裂的基底构造薄弱带、现今地壳局部减薄带相关,南海扩展由东而西的迁移诱导北部大陆边缘块体沿着先存NW向深大断裂发生走滑旋转是导致变换构造带两侧差异伸展的动力学原因,应力场及岩石圈热结构变化是引起拆离断层深度变化的重要因素.  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

松辽盆地构造演化与中国东部构造体制转换   总被引:23,自引:1,他引:22  
本文综合应用盆地构造解析、平衡地质剖面恢复、构造物理模拟等方法,探讨了松辽盆地构造演化及其地球动力学背景。松辽盆地基底是前侏罗纪古亚洲洋构造域众多微板块、地体拼贴形成的复合陆块。中—晚侏罗世,盆地基底受到郯(城)—庐(江)断裂系北段大规模左旋走滑活动的强烈改造,派生NNE、NNW和近NS向次级断裂,控制了基底构造格局、断陷盆地分布及其构造。断陷期可划分为早、晚两个脉冲式伸展阶段,早期阶段受多方向平面式正断层控制发育堑—垒构造,具有双向纯剪伸展的特点,但NNE向拉伸更显著,可能是深部岩石圈拆沉引起热穹窿与基底断裂持续左旋走滑拉分的叠加;晚期阶段受低角度犁式正断层控制发育西断东超的复合半地堑,受控于近EW向单剪伸展机制,是区域性地壳伸展拆离与岩石圈减薄的结果。拗陷期大规模热沉降是对古太平洋构造域向东迁移的响应。白垩纪末期盆地受到NWW向脉冲式挤压而发生反转,可能与伊泽纳奇板块消亡、太平洋板块开始俯冲这一转换过程中的地体拼贴有关。  相似文献

NE走向、延伸超过900 km的依兰-伊通断裂带是中国东北地区重要的大型断裂构造。然而关于该断裂带起源型式、伸展变形特征以及初始断陷时间长期以来存在较大分歧。本文对依兰-伊通断裂带起源期和伸展构造变形规律、变形时间以及应力场特征进行了详细的野外调查、火山岩锆石U-Pb定年以及断层擦痕位移矢量反演研究。结果表明,依兰-伊通断裂带在尚志隆起以及白垩纪-古近纪地堑外侧保存着左行走滑断层或韧性剪切带,代表了其起源期构造。根据前人研究成果及未变形火山岩的年龄(125Ma),限定起源时间为晚侏罗世初-早白垩世初。早白垩世中期之前依兰-伊通断裂带转变为伸展变形,南段控制发育的叶赫地堑具有典型的断陷盆地特征。在出露的花岗岩基底及地堑内下白垩统均可见一期NE走向正断层发育。应力场反演结果表明,依兰-伊通断裂带起源期左行走滑活动是在近S-N向(偏NNW向)的挤压应力场作用下发育,晚期又叠加了NW-SE向的拉张应力场作用,导致该断裂带转为正断活动。本文认为太平洋区伊泽奈崎板块早白垩世初向东亚大陆下平板俯冲,随后俯冲板片后撤导致强烈的弧后伸展,是依兰-伊通断裂带晚中生代左行走滑与伸展活动的动力学成因。  相似文献

东北亚南区是西太平洋构造带、北美大陆板块(或鄂霍次克板块)与中亚造山带、中朝、扬子板块等交汇部位,在泛大陆(Pangaea)拼合、裂解的宏观背景下中—新生代以来经历了多次构造事件的叠加,构造面貌比较复杂。包括朝鲜半岛在内,许多中—小型陆块的构造归属长期以来一直存在着争议,笔者根据近年来SHRIMP测年信息、生物古地理和相邻构造带的延伸,认为朝鲜半岛、日本飞驒—隐歧地块古生代应该归属于中朝板块;萨哈林岛—日本北海道归属于北美板块;布列亚—佳木斯—兴凯地块古生代归属于西伯利亚板块。20世纪80年代以来绝大多数学者都把本区中生代以来的构造发展同西太平洋壳向东北亚大陆的俯冲联系在一起,然而近年相当多学者从东亚大陆本身的陆-陆碰撞-挤出-扩张来寻求晚中生代以来地壳-岩石圈减薄的地球动力学原因。本区经历了晚海西—印支期古亚洲洋消亡和晚燕山期(晚侏罗—早白垩世)南北大陆的陆-陆碰撞汇聚两个时期,使中亚造山带扩展到中朝板块北缘的阴山—燕山地区,使地壳增厚,形成与现今青藏高原类似的高原地貌;早白垩世晚期—古近纪本区地壳-岩石圈减薄,出现大规模伸展型盆-山结构,郯—庐断裂北延,出现左行走滑错移,东部陆缘俯冲增生、太平洋板块运动转向,引起的挤压变形,以及古近纪晚期大面积准平原化,黑龙江、吉林古近纪隆起边缘断陷盆地中的许多重、贵金属砂矿矿床也多半形成在此期;新近纪本区地壳-岩石圈进一步减薄,大陆裂谷扩展为东亚—西太平洋裂谷带,形成NNE向伸展型盆-山结构,日本海打开,西太平洋岛弧形成,早更新世末初步形成地形阶梯,晚更新世以后才形成了控制着地热与水系分布的现今地貌格架。  相似文献

东地中海经历了伸展-聚敛的构造演化旋回,聚集了丰富的油气资源。基于2D地震、ODP Leg160、IHS及Tellus商业数据库和公开发表的文献资料,本文在建立东地中海及周缘构造-地层格架的基础上,恢复了东地中海12个关键地质历史时期的原型盆地,并以板块构造为切入点探讨了盆地演化机制。东地中海及周缘上三叠统以来地层可划分为新特提斯被动大陆边缘陆地及浅水区、新特提斯被动大陆边缘深水区和塞浦路斯弧前褶皱区3个地层分区,前两个地层分区均发育一套裂谷-被动大陆边缘层系,但是二者的岩相特征和不整合发育有明显的差异,而塞浦路斯弧前褶皱区发育一套大洋盆地-弧前盆地层系。研究认为东地中海经历了二叠纪—早侏罗世裂解期、中侏罗世巴柔期—晚白垩世土伦期漂移期和晚白垩世森诺期以来的汇聚改造期3个原型阶段,其中汇聚改造期又可细分为晚白垩世森诺期“双俯冲带”消减期、古近纪北部俯冲-碰撞期、中新世塞浦路斯岛弧带南侧俯冲-碰撞与黎凡特边缘活化期和中新世梅西期以来“弧-山碰撞”与“走滑逃逸”期4个阶段。东地中海盆地演化受控于图哈罗德-安纳托利亚板块以及凯里尼亚、特罗多斯和埃拉托色尼等微板块与冈瓦纳大陆北缘的分离、向北的漂移和与欧亚大陆汇聚拼贴的板块构造活动。  相似文献

南海北部陆缘盆地形成的构造动力学背景   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
摘要:南海北部陆缘盆地处于印度板块与太平洋及菲律宾海板块之间,但三大板块对南海北部陆缘盆地的影响是不同的。通过对三大板块及古南海演化的研究,可知南海北部陆缘地区应力环境于晚白垩世发生改变。早白垩世处于挤压环境,晚白垩世以来转变为伸展环境并且不同时期的成因不同。晚白垩世-始新世,华南陆缘早期造山带的应力松弛、古南海向南俯冲及太平洋俯冲板块的滚动后退导致其处于张应力环境。始新世时南海北部陆缘裂陷盆地开始产生,伸展环境没有变,但因其是由太平洋板块向西俯冲速率的持续降低及古南海向南俯冲引起的,南海北部陆缘盆地继续裂陷。渐新世-早中新世,地幔物质向南运动及古南海向南俯冲导致南海北部陆缘地区处于持续的张应力环境;渐新世早期南海海底扩张;中中新世开始,三大板块开始共同影响着南海北部陆缘盆地的发展演化。  相似文献

Abstract: This paper synthesizes the geotectonic background, genetic types and metallogenetic relations of the Mesozoic granitoids in the East China continental margin. By the Mesozoic, the Siberia Plate, North China Plate and South China Plate amalgamated together, resulting in formation of a unified Eurasia super–continent. Since the late Triassic to early Jurassic period, the territory of East China gradually became a Cordilleran style active continental margin. During the Jurassic to early Cretaceous (early to middle episodes of Yanshanian orogeny), the Paleo-Pacific plate strongly collided with and subducted under the Eurasia continent, reactivated the consolidated East China continental margin. The granitoids of both transformation series and syntexis series were generated. Many granitoid-related large and giant metal deposits were formed. Furthermore, the W, Sn, Be, Nb, Ta and U mineralizations are mostly associated with the transformation series; while the Fe, Cu, Mo and Au mineralizations are mostly associated with the syntexis series. The late Yanshanian orogeny (late Cretaceous) began a transition to the western Pacific style continental margin. A tensional environment resulted in development of alkaline granitoids and formation of continental red basins. The Cenozoic orogeny was characterized by a backarc spreading and rifting regime in this region.  相似文献

基于对玻利维亚区域构造演化与沉积充填特征的分析,研究盆地烃源岩、储集层及盖层等油气成藏地质条件的差异,分析盆地勘探潜力。玻利维亚境内发育查科、贝尼和马德雷德迪奥斯等3个重点盆地,均是在前寒武系基底基础上发育起来的叠合盆地,盆内依次充填了古生代克拉通边缘海相沉积层序、三叠纪-白垩纪裂谷期海相-海陆过渡沉积层序和晚白垩世至今前陆陆相沉积层序。油气成藏地质条件综合对比分析认为,3个盆地均发育泥盆系主力烃源岩,储集层以泥盆系-石炭系和白垩系砂岩为主,发育古生界泥岩和碳酸盐岩及古近系泥岩等多套区域盖层。成熟烃源岩主要分布在冲断带和前渊区,油气必须通过垂向和侧向运移才能聚集成藏,具有晚期生烃、晚期成藏的特点。马德雷德迪奥斯盆地前渊-斜坡带低幅构造圈闭和地层圈闭、查科盆地和贝尼盆地逆冲褶皱带构造圈闭是主要的勘探目标。  相似文献

The East China Sea basins, located in the West Pacific Continental Margin (WPCM) since the late Mesozoic, mainly include the East China Sea Shelf Basin (ECSSB) and the Okinawa Trough (OT). The WPCM and its adjacent seas can be tectonically divided into five units from west to east, including the Min‐Zhe Uplift, ECSSB, the Taiwan–Sinzi Belt, OT, and the Ryukyu Island Arc, which record regional tectonic evolution and geodynamics. Among those tectonic units, the ECSSB and the OT are important composite sedimentary pull‐apart basins, which experienced two stages of strike‐slip pull‐apart processes. In seismic profiles, the ECSSB and the OT show a double‐layer architecture with an upper half‐graben overlapping on a lower graben. In planar view, the ECSSB and the OT are characterized by faulted blocks from south to north in the early Cenozoic and by a zonation from west to east in the late Cenozoic. The faulted blocks with planar zonation and two‐layer vertical architecture entirely jumped eastward from the Min‐Zhe Uplift to the OT during the late Cenozoic. In addition, the whole palaeogeomorphology of the ECSSB changed notably, from pre‐Cenozoic highland or mountain into a Late Eocene continental margin with east‐tilting topography caused by the eastward tectonic jumping. The OT opened to develop into a back‐arc basin until the Miocene. Synthetic surface geological studies in the China mainland reveal that the Mesozoic tectonic setting of the WPCM is an Andean‐type continental margin developing many sinistral strike‐slip faults and pull‐apart basins and the Cenozoic tectonic setting of the WPCM is a Japanese‐type continental margin developing dextral strike‐slip faults and pull‐apart basins. Thus, the WPCM underwent a transition from Andean‐type to Japanese‐type continental margins at about 80 Ma (Late Cretaceous) and a transition in topography from a Mesozoic highland to a Cenozoic lowland, and then to below sea‐level basins.

以板块学说为理论基础,利用IHS能源信息库及新项目评价资料,从西非被动大陆边缘盆地群原型盆地入手,系统剖析了该区大油气田的形成条件与主控因素,建立了大油气田3类成藏模式。研究认为,西非经历了早白垩世贝利亚斯期至巴雷姆期陆内裂谷、阿普特期陆间裂谷、阿尔必期以来的被动大陆边缘3个原型阶段,分别充填了陆相、过渡期泻湖相及漂移期海相沉积体系。陆内裂谷湖相及漂移海相沉积形成了“下湖上海”两套优质烃源岩;过渡早期海侵砂砾岩,漂移期碳酸盐岩、三角洲、深水浊积砂体形成了多套优质储集层;过渡晚期盐岩及漂移期海相页岩分别为盐上及盐下大油气田形成了高效区域封堵。以此为依据,分别建立了南段“盐岩不发育裂谷型”、中段“盐岩发育双层型”及北段“高建设性三角洲型”3类大油气田成藏模式。该研究不但深化了被动大陆边缘盆地油气富集规律,而且能为我国石油公司在该类盆地新项目评价中提供充分的地质依据。  相似文献

In comparison to other regions round the North Atlantic, good exposures in the Moroccan coastal basins offer an excellent opportunity to study the Mesozoic development of a passive continental margin including the relationship between oceanic and coastal sediments and datum levels of the pelagic fossils. From south to north, the Cretaceous sediments of the coastal basins of Tarfaya, Agadir, Essaouira and at the margin of the Meseta are described and compared with each other regarding macro- and microfauna, sedimentology, and paleoenvironment. For the mainly marine 2500 m resp. 1700 thick Cretaceous sequences of Agadir and Essaouira, a correlation of ammonite and foraminiferal zones is proposed. Probably both sections were formed in one basin, but certain facies differences were caused by different water depths since Middle Cretaceous times. Most of the early Cretaceous sediments of the Tarfaya region in the south and of the Meseta in the north are of continental origin. Late Cretaecous sediments of these regions reveal, however, principal differences, especially in view of the macrofauna. On the Meseta, the macrofauna is typical of the Mediterranean faunal province, whereas the Tarfaya fauna is characterized by north-boreal elements. This is explained by the influence of upwelling in connection with the initiation of an oceanic deep-sea circulation, which also can be traced into the Agadir section. As a result, already during Turonian times, here bituminous marls with chert layers are deposited. These are missing farther to the north, but later nannomarls, chalk, chert layers and, in addition, locally phosphates are formed there, too. Generally, during the Cretaceous period, a tendency towards decreasing sedimentation rates and a relative increase of the percentage of pelagic components such as planktonic foraminifera in the local sediment can be observed, indicating a sharp decrease of the terrigeneous influx and a landward transgression of the oceanic water mass. If the global eustatic curve for the Cretaceous oceans is compared to the local bathymetric curves of the Moroccan coastal basins, one can distinguish between local phenomena and global events (Turonian and Campanian transgressions). In comparing the Cretaceous sections of DSDP sites 370 and 137 with the Agadir sequence on the continent, an attempt is made to reveal the development of the marginal North Atlantic, related to an increase of the paleodepth and the influence of the CCD. At Cape Bojador, in a transect across the continental margin from inland wells to the upper rise (DSDP site 397), the subsidence history of the uniformly subsiding ?marginal basin“ is derived. In the Jurassic, the rates of subsidence as well as those of sedimentation reach the order of magnitude of about 100 m/million years. The early Cretaceous subsidence increases up to 140 m/million years. As a result, sedimentation soon cannot keep pace, the water depth at the outer margin increases, and the shelf edge and continental slope are formed. In the last 100 million years, the subsidence decreases more or less exponentially. For the well subdivided Cretaceous sequences of the coastal basins described above, the interrelationship between subsidence, paleowaterdepth, and sedimentation rate has been worked out in more detail.  相似文献

The northeastern segment of the Late Cretaceous suprasubduction Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt is not an analogue of Andean-type continental margin. During its formation, the belt was separated from the Paleopacific by a complexly built assembly that comprised the Central Koryak continental block and the Essoveem volcanic arc at its margin. Various types of independent terrigenous sedimentary basins were formed in the Late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene at the subsided portion of the microcontinent and its slope. The Uchkhichkhil-type basin was characterized by deposition of polymictic clastic sediments produced during erosion of the volcanic arc and pyroclastic material derived from active volcanic centers of this arc that extended along the microcontinent margin that faced the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt. The deposition of quartz-feldspathic flyschoid sequences as products of scouring of sialic basement of the continental block was inherent to the Ukelayat type of sedimentation. The closure of the minor oceanic basin that separated the Asian margin from microcontinent in the late Campanian resulted in the cessation of subduction-related activity of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt and the Essoveem arc and initiated the formation of the Late Cretaceous accretionary margin of Asia. The deep structure of the central Koryak Highland deduced from the results of seismic surveying with the earthquake converted-wave method has corroborated the geotectonic interpretation.  相似文献
