大量的同位素年代学证据表明(古)阿尔金断裂带可能形成于三叠纪,后又经历了侏罗纪、白垩纪的强烈左旋走滑活动,自印度板块与欧亚大陆碰撞后阿尔金断裂再次活动。主要的走滑活动发生在:(1)245~220Ma;(2)180~140Ma;(3)120~100Ma;(4)90~80Ma;(5)60~45Ma;(6)渐新世至中新世;(7)上新世至更新世以及(8)全新世。沿阿尔金断裂带,伴随左旋走滑活动形成一系列的逆冲断裂和正断裂,反映走滑过程中伴随隆升作用的存在,并且形成自北向南包括祁连山、大雪山、党河南山、柴北缘山、祁漫塔格山和昆仑山,表明阿尔金断裂带制约着青藏高原北部的生长和隆升。阿尔金断裂带东、西两端的白垩纪和新生代火山活动是断裂走滑活动的响应。  相似文献   

(U‐Th)/He zircon dating of Chesapeake Bay distal impact ejecta from ODP site 1073     

M. B. Biren  J.‐A. Wartho  M. C. VAN Soest  K. V. Hodges  H. Cathey  B. P. Glass  C. Koeberl  J. W. Horton  W. Hale 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2019,54(8):1840-1852

Single crystal (U‐Th)/He dating has been undertaken on 21 detrital zircon grains extracted from a core sample from Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) site 1073, which is located ~390 km northeast of the center of the Chesapeake Bay impact structure. Optical and electron imaging in combination with energy dispersive X‐ray microanalysis (EDS) of zircon grains from this late Eocene sediment shows clear evidence of shock metamorphism in some zircon grains, which suggests that these shocked zircon crystals are distal ejecta from the formation of the ~40 km diameter Chesapeake Bay impact structure. (U‐Th/He) dates for zircon crystals from this sediment range from 33.49 ± 0.94 to 305.1 ± 8.6 Ma (2σ), implying crystal‐to‐crystal variability in the degree of impact‐related resetting of (U‐Th)/He systematics and a range of different possible sources. The two youngest zircon grains yield an inverse‐variance weighted mean (U‐Th)/He age of 33.99 ± 0.71 Ma (2σ uncertainties n = 2; mean square weighted deviation = 2.6; probability [P] = 11%), which is interpreted to be the (U‐Th)/He age of formation of the Chesapeake Bay impact structure. This age is in agreement with K/Ar, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar, and fission track dates for tektites from the North American strewn field, which have been interpreted as associated with the Chesapeake Bay impact event.  相似文献

The Fossvogur marine sediments in SW Iceland - confined to the Allerød/Younger Dryas transition by AMS 14 C dating     

ÁRNÝ E. SVEINBJÖRNSOTTIR  JÓN EIRÍKSSON  ÁSLAUG GEIRSDÓTTIR  JAN HEINEMEIER  NIELS RUD 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1993,22(2):147-157

An exhaustive ¹⁴C dating programme of molluscs from the Fossvogur sediments in Reykjavik. Iceland is presented. For the first time all the fossiliferous units of the sediments are dated. The results confirm earlier conclusions of a widespread occurrence of marine sediments of Allerød age in Reykjavik. The set of dates from the Fossvogur sediments shows a narrow ¹⁴C age distribution (standard deviation of ±235 years) of molluscs from all localities and from successive marine units in vertical sections. The weighted mean conventional ¹⁴C age is 11,400 BP. Assuming a reservoir effect of 400 years. this corresponds to a reservoir-corrected age of I1,000 BP. i.e. the Allerød- Younger Dryas transition for the sampled units, These new ¹⁴C dates from Fossvogur confirm the need for a revision of the Upper Pleistocene chronology of the Reykjavik region. They also have a bearing on the Late Weichselian record of glacier readvances and sea-level changes in the area. The dates suggest that the marine units in Fossvogur accumulated within a restricted time-span of a few hundred years. The sediments in Fossvogur are of volcaniclastic origin and are extremely lithified, indicating local geothermal activity soon after their deposition. This may explain anomalously high D/L amino acid ratios measured in molluscs from the Fossvogur sediments. δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O results suggest that temperatures may have ranged up to 60°C.  相似文献   

Late Holocene glacier variations and climate at Jan Mayen     

EINAR ANDA  OLAV ORHEIM  JAN MANGERUD 《Polar research》1985,3(2):129-140

Jan Mayen is a small (373 km²) remote island in the Norwegian Sea. One third of it is covered by glaciers, all located on the Beerenberg volcano. There have been at least two Holocene periods of glacier expansion at Jan Mayen. The first may have taken place around 2500 B.P. Some glaciers had their maximum extent during the second period, around 1850 A.D. They have subsequently shown an oscillating retreat, with marked expansion around 1910, and with a minimum extent around 1950. Many glaciers advanced again around 1960. The advance of Sørbreen probably culminated around 1965. The climate appears to have been more arctic-continental than today during these two periods of glacier advances, caused by expanded pack ice cover in the East Greenland current and strong influence from the Greenland-Arctic high pressure area. The interplay between the high pressure area and the low pressure tracks in the North Atlantic Ocean determines the climate over the north-western part of the Atlantic, and this results in parallel climate and glacier variations within this region. We conclude, contrary to previous reports, that the advances of the glaciers around 1960 were caused by reduced summer temperatures and ablation, and not by increased precipitation.  相似文献   

Chemographic relationships of biotite and cordierite in the McGerrigle thermal aureole, Gaspé, Quebec     

J.Y. VAN BOSSE  A.E. WILLIAMS-JONES 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1988,6(1):65-75

Abstract Biotite and cordierite occur in a 1-km wide zone of pelitic hornfelses around the McGerrigle pluton. These phases display systematic changes in X _Fe that can be attributed to continuous reactions involving chlorite or andalusite in the system KFMASH. Through much of the zone biotite and cordierite were products of the 'breakdown'of chlorite. Close to the pluton this continuous reaction was terminated by a discontinuous reaction that introduced andalusite. Pelites which interdigitate with apophyses of the intrusive at the pluton margin contain assemblages that record a continuous reaction between biotite, cordierite, andalusite, muscovite, and quartz or, alternatively, the discontinuous breakdown of muscovite and quartz to K-feldspar and andalusite.
The mole fraction of Fe in biotite and cordierite increased significantly with the progress of the first continuous reaction and apparently decreased during the second continuous reaction. The K _D of Fe-Mg between the minerals decreased and apparently increased, respectively, during the two reactions.
Biotite-cordierite-chlorite assemblages are interpreted to have been stable at temperatures between 525° C and 615° C and biotite-cordierite-andalusite assemblages stable at temperatures between 615° C and 635° C. The confining pressure was estimated to have been < 2 kbar.
The results of this study suggest that the K _D of Fe-Mg between biotite and cordierite is a function of temperature, the Fe-Mg exchange characteristics of the controlling continuous reaction and non-ideal mixing of Fe and Mg.  相似文献   

Duration of ship-following by Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla in the Barents Sea     

KJELL EINAR ERIKSTAD  JAN OVE BUSTNES  ODD JACOBSEN 《Polar research》1988,6(2):191-194

Ship-following Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla were caught and dye-marked with picric acid on three occasions from a ship trawling in the Barents Sea in August 1986. The ship trawled regularly every 20-30 nautical miles and most of the trawl contents were fed to the birds accompanying the ship. Kittiwakes followed the ship for an average of 480-591 min. Between trawl-stations the birds rested on lifeboats and on the rail of the ship, and resting birds showed aggressive behaviour towards neighbours and intruders. The mean departure rate ranged from 4.2 to 5.1% per hour, and the turnover rate was 32 hours. It is obvious that the Kittiwakes behaved opportunistically and had adapted to exploit the waste from the commercial fisheries in the area.  相似文献   

Weichselian stratigraphy and palaeoenvironments at Bellsund, western Svalbard   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

JON Y. LANDVIK  MAGNE BOLSTAD  ANNE KATRINE LYCKE  JAN MANGERUD  HANS PETTER SEJRUP 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1992,21(4):335-358

A coastal cliff facing the ocean at the west coast of Spitsbergen has been studied, and seven formations of Weichselian and Holocene age have been identified. A reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment and glacial history shows that most of the sediments cover isotope stage 5. From the base of the section, the formation 1 and 2 tills show a regional glaciation that reached the continental shelf shortly after the Eemian. Formation 3 consists of glacimarine to marine sediments dated to 105,000–90,000 BP. Amino acid diagenesis indicates that they were deposited during a c . 10,000-year period of continuous isostatic depression, which indicates contemporaneous glacial loading in the Barents Sea. Foraminifera and molluscs show influx of Atlantic water masses along the west coast of Svalbard at the same time. Local glaciers advanced during the latter part of this period, probably due to the penetration of moist air masses, and deposited formation 4. A widespread weathering horizon shows that the glacial retreat was succeeded by subaerial conditions during the Middle Weichselian. Formation 5 is a till deposited during the Late Weichselian glacial maximum in this area. The glaciation was dominated by ice streams from a dome over southern Spitsbergen, and the last deglaciation of the outer coast is dated to 13,000 BP. A correlation of the events with other areas on Svalbard is discussed, and at least two periods of glaciation in the Barents Sea during the Weichselian are suggested.  相似文献   

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF STANDARD AND CONTINUOUS VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDINGS1     

C. E. MOLANO  M. SALAMANCA  R. A. VAN OVERMEEREN 《Geophysical Prospecting》1990,38(7):705-718

Analytical solutions of vertical electrical soundings (VES) have mostly been applied to groundwater exploration and monitoring groundwater quality on terrains of fairly simple geology and geomorphology on which the electrode arrays are symmetrical (e.g. Schlumberger or Wenner configurations). The sounding interpretation assumes flat topography and horizontally stratified layers. Any deviations from these simple situations may be impossible to interpret analytically. The recently developed GEA-58 geoelectrical instrument can make continuous soundings along a profile with any colinear electrode configuration. This paper describes the use of finite-difference and finite-element methods to model complex earth resistivity distributions in 2D, in order to calculate apparent resistivity responses to any colinear current electrode distribution in terrains in which the earth resistivities do not vary along the strike. The numerical model results for simple situations are compared with the analytical solutions. In addition, a pseudo-depth section of apparent resistivities measured in the field with the GEA-58 is compared with the numerical solution of a real complex resistivity distribution along a cross-section. The model results show excellent agreement with the corresponding analytical and experimental data.  相似文献   

Source and Differentiation of Deccan Trap Lavas: Implications of Geochemical and Mineral Chemical Variations   总被引：7，自引：5，他引：7  

LIGHTFOOT  P. C.; HAWKESWORTH  C. J.; DEVEY  C. W.; ROGERS  N. W.; CALSTEREN  P. W. C. VAN 《Journal of Petrology》1990,31(5):1165-1200

The basalt stratigraphy of the Deccan Trap between MahabaleshwarGhat and Belgaum over-steps the basement from north to south.Sr-isotope and Zr/Nb ratios, and Sr, Rb, and Ba concentrationscorrelate portions of the post-Poladpur stratigraphy over 250km along the Western Ghats, thereby confirming a southerly componentof dip of 0?06?. At the southwestern margin, the stratigraphyextends upwards from the compositionally uniform Ambenali Formation(Cox & Hawkesworth, 1984) into a sequence of grossly heterogeneousflow units which have been allocated to the Mahabaleshwar andPanhala Formations (Lightfoot & Hawkesworth, 1988). TheMahabaleshwar Formation is represented only by a sequence ofhighly fractionated flows (termed the Kolhapur unit) with similar⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr₀ to the Mahabaleshwar (0?7045), but with Sr<240ppm and TiO₂>2?25%. Succeeding the Kolhapur unit are a seriesof flows with high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr₀ (0?7045-0?705), Zr/Nb > 13,and low Sr (< 200 ppm), which have been allocated to thePanhala Formation, and a group of flows with high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr₀(0?707–0?708) and Sr (>230), but trace element concentrationssimilar to the Mahabaleshwar Formation; these have been allocatedto the Desur unit of the Panhala. Geochemical variations in flows overlying the Ambenali definetwo distinct trends: one is attributed to gabbro fractionation,and the other to variations in the compositions of the parentalmagmas, and arguably their source regions. There is little evidencefor significant crustal contamination in these flows, and thedegree of fractionation and the composition of the phase extractare shown to vary along strike within the Mahabaleshwar Formation.The high TiO₂ content of Kolhapur unit flows is shown to bethe result of shallow-level gabbro fractionation, rather thanthe presence of a primitive high-Ti magma. Mahabaleshwar Formationbasalts exhibit a broad negative correlation between the degreeof fractionation and Sr-isotopic composition. The endmemberwith lower ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr₀ has different Zr/Y from the Ambenali basalts,and would appear to have been generated by lower degrees ofmelting of a similar source. The other endmember has more radiogenicSr, lower Zr/Nb, similar Zr/Y, but higher mg-number. The simplestinterpretation is that these magmas were more primitive andhence hotter and more able to interact with the lithosphereen route to the surface, and that they then mixed to producethe Mahabaleshwar array. The Panhala Formation basalts ploton the Sr-Nd array defined by the Mahabaleshwar Formation, andthe Desur unit basalts plot on an extension of this array; thissuggests that the source characteristics are also lithospheric.The absolute elemental abundances may then be a function ofmelting and fractionation. We are impressed by the apparentswitch from crustal lithospheric contributions to mantle lithosphericcontributions through the stratigraphy, and suggest that this,together with the more protracted fractionation of the magma,reflects a change in the availability of the lithospheric componentsaccompanying the southerly migration of the volcanic edifice. ^* Present address: Geoscience Laboratories, Ontario Geological Survey, 11th Floor, 77, Grenville Street, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1W4, Canada  相似文献
