Summary. Three principal directions of magnetization are recognized in the central part of the Lewisian metamorphic terrain of north-west Scotland. The first ('A') magnetization is a high blocking temperature component residing in magnetite and imposed during post-Laxfordian uplift and cooling. Fifty sites yield an overall mean D = 285.9°, I = 54.9° and palaeomagnetic pole at 273.2° E, 37.6° N ( dp = 3.7°, dm = 5.2°); this magnetization was probably acquired at crustal depths of 6–10 km and is linked to K—Ar uplift ages averaging 1650–1625 Ma. The second ('B') magnetizations are defined by E—W directions and also reside in high blocking temperature components; they are, however, dipolar, have some properties distinct from the 'A' magnetizations, and are correlated with late stages in the history of the complex at 1400–1200 Ma. The third ('C') NE directed magnetizations reside predominantly in low blocking temperature components in pyrrhotite and possibly maghemite, and were probably acquired at a late stage of the regional uplift; they do not correlate with post-1450 Ma magnetizations from the Laurentian Shield and probably relate to the as yet undefined interval 1600–1450 Ma. The collective palaeomagnetic data and certain geologic data suggest that the Lewisian foreland should be rotated by 30° clockwise about a local axis of rotation on the conventional reconstruction of the North Atlantic continents; this rotation is associated with Lower Palaeozoic trans-current movements and may be related to a fourth ('D') magnetization of viscous origin.
A collective assessment of 1850–1600 Ma palaeomagnetic data for the Laurentian Shield defines a large apw loop; there is widespread agreement between data from the constituent structural provinces of the Shield although different metamorphic regions define complementary segments of the loop related to uplift over different intervals of time.  相似文献

The seismicity rate in the Mudurnu Valley of Turkey was studied using an earthquake catalogue that reports events homogeneously down to magnitude 2.3 for the years 1985–1989, and covers the area between latitudes 40.2° and 41.0°N, and longitudes 30.0° and 31.5°E. During this period the only two main shocks, M = 4.0 and M = 4.3, occurred on 1988 September 6 and 1988 December 9 within about 30km of each other. A highly significant seismic quiescence is evident in the area surrounding these main shocks, while the seismicity rate in the rest of the area covered by the catalogue remains constant. the quiescence becomes more pronounced the smaller the area around the main shocks that is studied. the smallest areas that can be studied contain about 60 earthquakes and have dimensions of approximately 25km on each side. the decreases in seismicity rates are 50–80 per cent depending on the volume and period used for defining the quiescence. the quiescence started in 1988 January and lasted about seven months, with approximately 4.5 months of normal activity separating it from the main shock of December. the precursor time of 12 months for an M = 4.3 main shock is similar to those observed in California. It is concluded that it is possible to resolve precursory quiescence before moderate and large earthquakes in the Mudurnu area with the existing seismograph network.  相似文献

Shear wave splitting measurements from S arrivals of local earthquakes recorded at the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) broadband sensor SNZO are used to determine a basic anisotropic structure for the subduction zone in the Wellington region. With the use of high-frequency filters, fast anisotropic polarization ( φ ) and splitting time ( δt ) measurements typical of crustal anisotropy are evident, but the larger splitting expected from the mantle is often not resolved. The small splitting seen agrees well with the results of previous studies concerning shallow crustal anisotropy. With the use of lower-frequency filters, measurements more consistent with mantle anisotropy are made. Anisotropy of 4.4 ± 0.9 per cent with a fast polarization of 29° ± 38° is calculated for the subducting slab, from 20 to 70  km depth. Using this result in addition to the results of previous studies, a model is proposed. The model requires a frequency-dependent anisotropy of less than 1.4 per cent when measured with a period of ~2  s to be present in the sub-slab mantle.
Separate from this population, a band of events in northern Cook Strait with an 86° ± 10° fast polarization is seen. This is at about 40° from the strike of the Hikurangi margin, and suggests a source of shear strain 40° removed from that found in the majority of the region. The cause of this is probably a deformation in the subducting slab in this region, as it moves towards a greater incline to the south.  相似文献

Diatoms were identified and enumerated from a surface sediment calibration set of 50 lakes in northwestern Québec. The relationship between species composition and environmental variables was examined using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Forward selection and Monte Carlo permutation tests in CCA indicated that diatom species distributions in the data set are most strongly correlated to lakewater pH. A strong (r 2 boot = 0.83) weighted averaging calibration model, that includes bootstrapped error estimates, was developed for inferring past lakewater pH. Using this model, temporal changes in pH were reconstructed for two kettle lakes, Lac de la Pépinière and Lac Perron. Based on limnological data, both the study lakes were expected to have recently acidified due to increased acidic precipitation and increases in anthropogenic metal loading. However, our long-term pH inference data indicate that these lakes were naturally acidic during pre-industrial times. Nonetheless, the rate of acidification, particularly in Lac de la Pépinière, has accelerated in the last ∼75 years. These long-term pH records developed for the dilute lakes in northwestern Québec suggest that the region has received increased atmospheric pollutants from the nearby Horne smelter in Rouyn-Noranda. The pH inference profiles are markedly different from many other paleolimnological studies in acid-sensitive regions of Canada that have become acidic primarily as a result of industrial activities.

In the regional geodetic network of the Russian Far East, an active fault zone of the Kamchatka peninsula has been selected in order to study the relation between seismic activity and deformation. This paper provides the first results of a detailed and high-precision 3-km long levelling profile, along which geodetic data have been collected weekly for almost three years. The data processing and analytical methods that were originally used have been elaborated for this particular type of very small local network. In the active fault zone, two distinct ways of releasing accumulated potential energy, i.e. seismicity and 'fault superintensive movements', have been registered. The inverse correlation that is discovered between deformation rate and seismic activity could be useful in earthquake forecasts.  相似文献

Summary. A telemetered network of sensitive seismographs is being used to study the seismicity of the Wellington region, within the broad shear belt through New Zealand that marks the convergence of the Pacific and Indian plates. On average about 4 event/day are detected within 75 km of the network centre. Of the events located during the first two years of operation, the majority define a band of relatively intense activity, at depths from 20 to 40 km, dipping gently to the north-west and marking some surface near the top of the underthrust Pacific lithosphere. There is less intense and more diffuse activity both above and below this zone. The shallower activity does not correlate with major surface faults and reflects the widespread nature of shallow deformation throughout the shear belt. The mechanism of shallow events well above the band of high activity appears to be a mixture of strike-slip and thrust faulting, while that of at least part of the activity in the band is normal faulting. The rate of activity and b value, as functions of time, show significant variations, some of which may be related to the occurrence of the largest shock of the period, M L= 6.1.  相似文献

The Narmada zone in central India is a zone of weakness that separates the region of Vindhyan (Meso-Neoproterozoic) deposition to the north from Gondwana (Permo-Carboniferous–lower Cretaceous) deposits to the south. The reinterpretation of analogue seismic refraction data, acquired during the early 1980s, using 2-D ray-tracing techniques reveals a basement (velocity 5.8–6.0 km s−1 ) topography suggesting that the Narmada zone, bounded by the Narmada North and Narmada South faults is a region of basement uplift. A layer of anomalously high velocity (6.5–6.7 km s−1 ) at depths between 1.5 and 9.0 km appears to be present in the entire region. Within the Narmada zone this layer occurs at shallower depths than outside the Narmada zone. At two places within the Narmada zone this layer is at a depth of about 1.5 km. This layer cannot be considered as the top of the lower crust because in this case it should have produced large positive gravity anomalies at the shallowest parts. Instead, these parts correspond to Bouguer gravity lows. Furthermore, lower crust at such shallow depths has not been reported from any other part of the Indian shield. Therefore, this layer is likely to represent the top of a high-velocity mafic body that has different thicknesses in different places.  相似文献

Geodiversity in the Yellow River source zone   总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1  
It is a key premise of 'ecosystem approaches' to natural resources management that we must have an appropriate understanding of biodiversity values, and controls upon them, if we wish to manage them effectively. These biodiversity values, and associated ecosystem functionality, vary with space and time and are tied directly to landscape-scale relationships and evolutionary traits. In riverine systems, nested hierarchical principles provide a useful platform to assess relationships between landscape components across a range of scales. These understandings are most instructively synthesized through catchment-scale analyses. This paper outlines a rationale for systematic catchment-wide appraisals of river geodiversity. An initial application of these principles is presented for the Yellow River source zone in Qinghai Province, western China. Geo-ecological relationships are outlined for five broad sections of the trunk stream, highlighting implications for the management of these individual landscape compartments and for the system as a whole.  相似文献
