Resumé L'existence d'une phase tectonique intraviséenne dans la chaîne varisque d'Europe a été admise par divers auteurs. Le présent travail apporte des précisions sur la nature de cet événement dans le Nord du Massif Central, les Vosges et la Forêt Noire, c'est à dire dans la zone interne varisque. Des données nouvelles concernent les Vosges et la Forêt Noire. Dans le domaine étudié, cet événement géodynamique n'est pas phcatif et se caractérise par une période d'instabilité au cours du Viséen supérieur qui conduit à d'importants phénomènes de resédimentation, résultats de l'érosion de paléoreliefs. Cette période d'instabilité se prolonge au cours du Viséen supérieur où une emersion généralisée se produit dans la zone moldanubienne. Dans les zones externes septentrionales, la déformation synmétamorphique qui se déplace vers l'extérieur de la chaîne est contemporaine de cet événement. Dans le massif armoricain (zone externe), il se traduit par des mouvements décrochants. Cet événement s'explique par un épaississement crustal, conséquence directe de la collision varisque et se traduit par un soulèvement qui précède la phase de déformation paroxysmale d'âge tardi-viséen et carbonifère supérieur.

The existence of an Intravisean tectonic phase in the variscan belt of Europe is admitted by some authors. The present work specifies the characteristics of such an event in the northern part of the French Massif Central, in the Vosges mountains and in the Black Forest, i.e. in the internal variscan zone. New data are given for the Vosges and the Black Forest. In the considered domain the geodynamic event does not have a folding effect. It leads to a period of instability during Late Visean, inducing important resedimentation processes as a result of erosion of the paleoreliefs. A generalized emersion of the Moldanubian Zone occurs at the same time. This event coincides with the migration toward the North of the syn-metamorphic deformation in the extern parts of the belt. In the Armorican Massif (external zone) strike slip faults are active during the same period. That event can be explained by the crustal thickening resulting from the variscan collision. The uplift preceds the paroxysmal Late Visean and Upper Carboniferous tectonic phase.

Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Autoren vertreten die Meinung, daß das mitteleuropäische Variszikum innerhalb des Visé von einer tektonischen Phase betroffen wurde. Die gegenwärtige Arbeit soll eine genauere Vorstellung von den Ereignissen geben, welche sich um diese Zeit im nördlichen Zentralmassiv, den Vogesen und dem Schwarzwald abspielten. Innerhalb des angeführten Bereiches läßt sich nirgends eine Faltung beobachten. Es handelt sich vielmehr um ein geodynarmsches Ereignis, welches sich im obereren Visé als eine Periode der Instabilität mit sehr beachtlichen Erosionen einerseits und ebenso bedeutenden Resedimentationen andererseits äußert. Diese Zeit der Instabilität mündet noch im Laufe des obersten Visé in einer allgemeinen Heraushebung des Moldanubikums. Das Intra-Visé Ereignis ist zeitgleich mit der nordwärtigen Wanderung der synmetamorphen Deformation in den externen Zonen. Im armorikanischen Massiv fällt es anscheinend mit bedeutenden Blattverschiebungen zusammen. Offensichtlich steht hinter den Vorgängen als Ursache eine relativ plötzliche Krustenverdickung im Zusammenhang mit der variszischen Kollision. Die Heraushebung geht der paroxysmalen Deformation im späten Visé bzw. frühen Oberkarbon voraus.

Abundance of larval rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) in relation to the maximum turbidity zone and associated macroplanktonic fauna of the middle St. Lawrence estuary     

Julian J. Dodson  Jean-Claude Dauvin  R. Grant Ingram  B. d’Anglejan 《Estuaries and Coasts》1989,12(2):66-81

We tested the hypothesis that the distribution and retention of larval smelt (Osmerus mordax) in the middle estuary of the St. Lawrence River is related to the maintenance of other planktonic organisms in the maximum turbidity zone (MTZ). We documented the horizontal and vertical distribution of larval smelt, macrozooplankton, and suspended particulate matter over four tidal cycles at each of three stations located along the major axis of the turbid upstream portion of the middle estuary. During summer, the turbid, warm, and low salinity waters of the two upstream stations were characterized byNeomysis americana, Gammarus sp. (principallyG. tigrinus), larval smelt,Mysis stenolepsis, andCrangon septemspinosus. The more stratified and less turbid waters of the downstream station were characterized by a coastal marine macrozooplanktonic community and the almost total absence of smelt larvae. Within the MTZ, the distribution ofN. americana coincided with the zone of longest average advective replacement times (null zone). Smelt larvae were distributed further upstream within the MTZ thanN. americana. Overall, larger larvae were distributed further upstream than smaller larvae. The relationship between turbidity and larval density at a specific time was weak (due to resuspension of sediments but not larvae), but the mechanism responsible for producing higher residence times for both sediment and larvae on a longer term basis appears the same. The daily movement and skewed nature of the null zone (due to the general cyclonic circulation of the middle estuary) defines a geographic zone over which the larval smelt population oscillates and remains despite the mean downstream velocities over the water column.  相似文献   

Single-pyroxene thermobarometry   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Jean-Claude C. Mercier   《Tectonophysics》1980,70(1-2)

Enstatites in peridotites from the Vourinos ophiolites, Greece, have exceptionally high Cr/Al ratios, though the pyroxenes are in equilibrium with picotite. Phase-chemistry data yield new empirical relations for the critical effect of Cr on Al solubility, in full agreement with local Cr/Al ratio variations observed in some massifs. These new relations allow application of the single-pyroxene thermobarometer to Cr-rich parageneses and revision of the general method of calculation of pressure and temperature estimates previously suggested for both spinel and garnet facies. The revised method is still based on thermodynamics, but emphasis is given to the fundamental distinction between experimental pure systems and natural complex ones as a result of the observed non-ideality of many solutions dealt with and of the interaction between Al and Cr. The impossibility of extrapolating experimental spinel-facies Al-solubility data for Cr-free systems to natural peridotites, leads to construction of an empirical Al(px) model based on geophysical, petrological and geochemical constraints, such a model yielding realistic estimates. Geotherms constructed fall into three categories, depending on the regional tectonic environment: oceans and continental extension zones, advanced rifting/ridges, and cratonic domains. Typical geotherms so obtained are similar to those proposed earlier (Mercier and Carter, 1975) but with the addition of the new high-temperature rift/ridge type.  相似文献   

Two examples of subaqueously welded ash-flow tuffs: the Visean of southern Vosges (France) and the Upper Cretaceous of northern Anatolia (Turkey)     

Jean-Luc Schneider  Claude Fourquin  Jean-Claude Paicheler 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1992,49(3-4)

Pyroclastic deposits interpreted as subaqueous ash-flow tuff have been recognized within Archean to Recent marine and lacustrine sequences. Several authors proposed a high-temperature emplacement for some of these tuffs. However, the subaqueous welding of pyroclastic deposits remains controversial.The Visean marine volcaniclastic formations of southern Vosges (France) contain several layers of rhyolitic and rhyodacitic ash-flow tuff. These deposits include, from proximal to distal settings, breccia, lapilli and fine-ash tuff. The breccia and lapilli tuff are partly welded, as indicated by the presence of fiamme, fluidal and axiolitic structures. The lapilli tuff form idealized sections with a lower, coarse and welded unit and an upper, bedded and unwelded fine-ash tuff. Sedimentary structures suggest that the fine-ash tuff units were deposited by turbidity currents. Welded breccias, interbedded in a thick submarine volcanic complex, indicate the close proximity of the volcanic source. The lapilli and fine-ash tuff are interbedded in a thick marine sequence composed of alternating sandstones and shales. Presence of a marine stenohaline fauna and sedimentary structures attest to a marine depositional environment below storm-wave base.In northern Anatolia, thick massive sequences of rhyodacitic crystal tuff are interbedded with the Upper Cretaceous marine turbidites of the Mudurnu basin. Some of these tuffs are welded. As in southern Vosges, partial welding is attested by the presence of fiamme and fluidal structures. The latter are frequent in the fresh vitric matrix. These tuff units contain a high proportion of vitroclasis, and were emplaced by ash flows. Welded tuff units are associated with non-welded crystal tuff, and contain abundant bioclasts which indicate mixing with water during flowage. At the base, basaltic breccia beds are associated with micritic beds containing a marine fauna. The welded and non-welded tuff sequences are interbedded in an alternation of limestones and marls. These limestones are rich in pelagic microfossils.The evidence above strongly suggest that in both examples, tuff beds are partly welded and were emplaced at high temperature by subaqueous ash flows in a permanent marine environment. The sources of the pyroclastic material are unknown in both cases. We propose that the ash flows were produced during submarine fissure eruptions. Such eruptions could produce non-turbulent flows which were insulated by a steam carapace before deposition and welding. The welded ash-flow tuff deposits of southern Vosges and northern Anatolia give strong evidence for existence of subaqueous welding.  相似文献   

Mount Etna eruptions of the last 2,750 years: revised chronology and location through archeomagnetic and <Superscript>226</Superscript>Ra-<Superscript>230</Superscript>Th dating     

Jean-Claude Tanguy  Michel Condomines  Maxime Le Goff  Vito Chillemi  Santo La Delfa  Giuseppe Patanè 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2007,70(1):55-83

A careful re-examination of the well-known written documents pertaining to the 2,750-year-long historical period of Mount Etna was carried out and their interpretation checked through the high-accuracy archeomagnetic method (>1,200 large samples), combined with the ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th radiochronology. The magnetic dating is based upon secular variation of the direction of the geomagnetic field (DGF) and estimated to reach a precision of  ±40 years for the last 1,200 years, and ±100 to 200 years up to circa 150 B.C. Although less precise, the ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th method provides a unique tool for distinguishing between historic and prehistoric lavas, which in some cases might have similar DGFs. We show that despite the abundance of details on ancient historical eruptions, the primary sources of information are often too imprecise to identify their lava flows and eruptive systems. Most of the ages of these lavas, which are today accepted on the geological maps and catalogues, were attributed in the 1800s on the basis of their morphology and without any stratigraphical control. In fact, we found that 80% of the “historically dated” flows and cones prior to the 1700s are usually several hundreds of years older than recorded, the discrepancies sometimes exceeding a millennium. This is proper the case for volcanics presumed of the “1651 east” (actually ∼1020), “1595” (actually two distinct flows, respectively, ∼1200 and ∼1060), “1566” (∼1180), “1536” (two branches dated ∼1250 and ∼950), “1444” (a branch dated ∼1270), “1408” (lower branches dated ∼450 and ∼350), “1381” (∼1160), “1329” (∼1030), “1284” (∼1450 and ∼700), “1169 or 812” (∼1000) eruptions. Conversely, well-preserved cones and flows that are undated on the maps were produced by recent eruptions that went unnoticed in historical accounts, especially during the Middle Ages. For the few eruptions that are recorded between A.D. 252 and 750 B.C., none of their presumed lava flows shows a DGF in agreement with that existing at their respective dates of occurrence, most of these flows being in fact prehistoric. The cinder cones of Monpeloso (presumed “A.D. 252”) and Mt. Gorna (“394 B.C.”), although roughly consistent magnetically and radiochronologically with their respective epochs, remain of unspecified age because of a lack of precision of the DGF reference curve at the time. It is concluded that at the time scale of the last millennia, Mount Etna does not provide evidence of a steady-state behavior. Periods of voluminous eruptions lasting 50 to 150 years (e.g., A.D. 300–450, 950–1060, 1607–1669) are followed by centuries of less productive activity, although at any time a violent outburst may occur. Such a revised history should be taken into account for eruptive models, magma output, internal plumbing of the volcano, petrological evolution, volcano mapping and civil protection.  相似文献   

Volcanic hazards at Mount Semeru,East Java (Indonesia), with emphasis on lahars   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jean-Claude Thouret  Franck Lavigne  Hiroshi Suwa  Bambang Sukatja  Surono 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2007,70(2):221-244

Mt. Semeru, the highest mountain in Java (3,676 m), is one of the few persistently active composite volcanoes on Earth, with a plain supporting about 1 million people. We present the geology of the edifice, review its historical eruptive activity, and assess hazards posed by the current activity, highlighting the lahar threat. The composite andesite cone of Semeru results from the growth of two edifices: the Mahameru ‘old’ Semeru and the Seloko ‘young’ Semeru. On the SE flank of the summit cone, a N130-trending scar, branched on the active Jonggring-Seloko vent, is the current pathway for rockslides and pyroclastic flows produced by dome growth. The eruptive activity, recorded since 1818, shows three styles: (1) The persistent vulcanian and phreatomagmatic regime consists of short-lived eruption columns several times a day; (2) increase in activity every 5 to 7 years produces several kilometer-high eruption columns, ballistic bombs and thick tephra fall around the vent, and ash fall 40 km downwind. Dome extrusion in the vent and subsequent collapses produce block-and-ash flows that travel toward the SE as far as 11 km from the summit; and (3) flank lava flows erupted on the lower SE and E flanks in 1895 and in 1941–1942. Pyroclastic flows recur every 5 years on average while large-scale lahars exceeding 5 million m³ each have occurred at least five times since 1884. Lumajang, a city home to 85,000 people located 35 km E of the summit, was devastated by lahars in 1909. In 2000, the catchment of the Curah Lengkong River on the ESE flank shows an annual sediment yield of 2.7 × 10⁵ m³ km⁻² and a denudation rate of 4 10⁵ t km⁻² yr⁻¹, comparable with values reported at other active composite cones in wet environment. Unlike catchments affected by high magnitude eruptions, sediment yield at Mt. Semeru, however, does not decline drastically within the first post-eruption years. This is due to the daily supply of pyroclastic debris shed over the summit cone, which is remobilised by runoff during the rainy season. Three hazard-prone areas are delineated at Mt. Semeru: (1) a triangle-shaped area open toward the SE has been frequently swept by dome-collapse avalanches and pyroclastic flows; (2) the S and SE valleys convey tens of rain-triggered lahars each year within a distance of 20 km toward the ring plain; (3) valleys 25 km S, SE, and the ring plain 35 km E toward Lumajang can be affected by debris avalanches and debris flows if the steep-sided summit cone fails.  相似文献

How was Taiwan created?   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Jean-Claude Sibuet  Shu-Kun Hsu   《Tectonophysics》2004,379(1-4):159-181

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   

Radiogenic lead mobility in the Shea Creek unconformity-related uranium deposit (Saskatchewan,Canada): migration pathways and Pb loss quantification     

Philippe Kister  Michel Cuney  Viacheslav N. Golubev  Jean-Jacques Royer  Christian Le Carlier De Veslud  Jean-Claude Rippert 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2004,336(3):205-215

The average Pb/U ratio of the Shea Creek unconformity-type uranium deposit has been estimated at 0.071±0.015. The calculation was performed on a volume enclosing the orebody to take into account the possible radiogenic lead migration within the ore zone. Despite this precaution, this ratio is significantly lower than the expected ratio (0.211) assuming a main U deposition around 1315 Ma, as suggested by previous UPb isotopic dating. Although part of the radiogenic lead can be trapped as galena within the orebody, about 60% of Pb have migrated more than 700 m away from the orebody, preferentially along the unconformity.
