Die Diabasvorkommen des Amazonasgebietes und das Problem des Intrusionsmechanismus     

Dr. Kurt Vollbrecht 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1964,53(2):686-706

Zusammenfassung Unter Bezug auf die beobachteten großräumigen Diabasvorkommen im Gebiet des Amazonasbeckens wird der Versuch unternommen, den Intrusionsmechanismus basaltischer Schmelzen prinzipiell zu erklären. Es läßt sich zeigen, daß das Problem der Magmenbewegung von dem der Magmaentstehung nicht zu trennen ist. Beide bedürfen der Anwendung sowohl hydrostatischer als auch hydrodynamischer Gesetzmäßigkeiten.Die Beachtung der hydrostatischen Gesichtspunkte erfordert einerseits eine Herdlage in den oberen Teilen des Erdmantels, wo aber andererseits die Entstehung der Schmelze aus thermischen Gründen nicht ohne Konvektionsströmungen denkbar ist.Die Annahme eines konvektiven Zirkulationssystems im Mantel, dessen Auswirkung gelegentlich durch Schweremessungen beobachtbar sein können, beantwortet viele wichtige offene Fragen im Problemkreis des Intrusionsmechanismus basischer Gesteine.

Basing on huge occurrence of diabase in the Amazon basin, a limited distribution of which is dealt with in this paper, an outline of the principal mechanism of intrusions of basaltic magma is attempted. Apparently, the problem of movement of magma is not allowed to be regarded without that of its origin. Both, movement and origin, are subjected to hydrostatical and hydrodynamical laws.The application of the hydrostatics demands the source of magma to be in the upper parts of the earth's mantle. In this location, however, temperature seems to be insufficient to originate melted basaltic rocks unless thermical convection takes place.The postulation of a vertical system of circulation in the mantle, the effects of which sometimes may be recognized by gravity measurements, solves some important problems of the mechanism of intrusion. In this way, among other things, the deep lying mass of higher density along the center of the Amazon basin may be determined as to triassic-jurassic age.

Résumé Considérant la présence de diabases en grande quantité dans le bassin de l'Amazone, l'auteur tente d'interpréter dans son principe le mécanisme d'intrusion des liquides basaltiques. Il semble que le problème du mouvement du magma ne peut pas être séparé de celui de son origine. Tous deux doivent être soumis à des lois hydrostatiques et hydrodynamiques.La considération du point de vue hydrostatique donne à penser que la source du magma se trouve dans la partie supérieure du manteau terrestre où cependant, pour des raisons thermiques, on ne peut penser à la formation de liquides magmatiques sans courants de convection.L'hypothèse d'un système de circulation convective dans le manteau, dont les effets ont parfois été observés par des mesures de gravité, apporte une solution à quelques problèmes concernant le mécanisme d'intrusion. Dans cet ordre d'idées, la masse profonde de forte densité située dans le centre du bassin de l'Amazone peut être rapportée au Triasique-Jurassige.

Summary The results of the analysis of the main geomagnetic field for the epoch 1945.0 in a series of spherical harmonics to the 15th degree are presented. The analysis is based on the world magnetic charts derived byVestine et al. The coefficients of the potential are calculated by least-squares approximation taking advantage of the orthogonality of the spherical harmonics over discrete ranges.

Rare gases and fossil particle tracks in the Kenna ureilite     

Laurel L. Wilkening  Kurt Marti 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(12):1465-1466

Fossil particle tracks and spallation-produced He and Ne in the Kenna ureilite indicate that it existed in space as a small object for 23 m.y. In our study of Kenna, we found no evidence of trapped He or Ne. Large amounts of heavy rare gases occur in Kenna in concentrations typical of ureilites. In a step-wise release of gases, the isotopic compositions of Kr and Xe were found to be constant above 600°C, revealing the presence of a single retentively sited component. The Xe isotopic abundances are characterized by 124:126:128:129:130:131:132:134:136 = 0.471:0.414:8.280:103.61: 16.296:81.92:100:37.70:31.23. This isotopic composition is distinct from AVCC (average carbonaceous chondritic), but similar to compositions known for some time in certain temperature fractions of Renazzo, Murray and Murchison. Kenna-type Xe appears to be one of the several components found in carbonaceous chondrites.

Binz et al. (Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 39, 1576–1579, 1975) have recently found that many volatile trace elements are strongly depleted in ureilites. Thus, the relatively large amounts of heavy rare gases present in ureilites did not result from a mixture of a volatile-rich component with the ureilite host. It appears that some material rich in carbon and heavy rare gases was incorporated into a differentiated ureilite host. All current hypotheses which purport to explain the origin of trapped gases in meteorites encounter difficulty in accounting for trapped gases in ureilites in a straightforward manner.  相似文献   

The mass and moment of inertia of the Earth     

Barbara Romanowicz  Kurt Lambeck 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1977,15(1):P1-P4

Recent revisions of geodetic and astronomical constants by the International Association of Geodesy and the International Astronomical Union lead to improved values for the earth's mass and moment of inertia. Corrections to be applied to these values before they are used as constraints in the inversion of seismic data are discussed.  相似文献   

Industrial minerals and rocks, aggregates and natural stones in the Nordic countries     

Kurt Johansson Rune B. Larsen Markku J. Lehtinen Lars Persson Mika Raeisaenen Stig A. Schack Pedersen Paer Weihed Nils-Gunnar Wik 《《幕》》2008,31(1):133-139

The Nordic countries, including Greenland, have a long tradition in mining. The industrial minerals sector is expanding in most Nordic countries and extensive development has taken place during the last few years. The main commodities mined are carbonate rocks, quartz, feldspar, apatite, olivine and talc.
A number of diferent types of dimension stones are quarried in all countries. Rock aggregates are increasingly important, replacing sand and gravel aggregate as construction materials in some countries due to the need to protect ground water supplies.  相似文献   

Glacier fluctuations in the southern Peruvian Andes during the late‐glacial period,constrained with cosmogenic 3He     

Gordon R.M. Bromley  Brenda L. Hall  Joerg M. Schaefer  Gisela Winckler  Claire E. Todd  Kurt M. Rademaker 《第四纪科学杂志》2011,26(1):37-43

The occurrence of pronounced climate reversals during the last glacial termination has long been recognised in palaeoclimate records from both hemispheres and from high to low latitudes. Accurate constraint of both the timing and magnitude of events, such as the Younger Dryas and Antarctic Cold Reversal, is vital in order to test different hypotheses for the causes and propagation of abrupt climate change. However, in contrast to higher‐latitude regions, well‐dated records from the Tropics are rare and the structure of late‐glacial tropical climate remains uncertain. As a step toward addressing this problem, we present an in situ cosmogenic ³He surface exposure chronology from Nevado Coropuna, southern Peru, documenting a significant fluctuation of the ice margin during the late‐glacial period. Ten tightly clustered ages from a pair of moraines located halfway between the modern glacier and the Last Glacial Maximum terminus range from 11.9 to 13.9 ka and give an arithmetic mean age of 12.8 ± 0.7 ka (1σ). These data constitute direct evidence for a readvance, or prolonged stillstand, of glaciers in the arid Andes of southwestern Peru. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Peak-Size Distributions of Proton Fluxes and Associated Soft X-Ray Flares     

A. Belov  V. Kurt  H. Mavromichalaki  M. Gerontidou 《Solar physics》2007,246(2):457-470

A database combining information about solar proton enhancements (SPEs) near the Earth and soft X-ray flares (GOES measurements) has been used for the study of different correlations through the period from 1975 to May 2006. The emphasis of this work is on the treatment of peak-size distributions of SXR flares and SPEs. The frequency of SXR flares and solar proton events (>10 and >100 MeV, respectively) for the past three solar cycles has been found to follow mainly a power-law distribution over three to five orders of magnitude of fluxes, which is physically correct beyond the “sensitivity” problem with the smallest peak values. The absence of significant spectral steepening in the domain of the highest peak values demonstrates that during the period considered, lasting 30 years, the limit of the highest flare’s energy release has not yet been achieved. The power-law exponents were found to be −2.19±0.04, −1.34±0.02, and −1.46±0.04, for the total SXR flare distribution and the total SPE distributions (for both E _P>10 MeV and E _P>100 MeV), respectively. For SPEs associated with flares located to the West of 20° W, the exponents are −1.22±0.05 (E _P>10 MeV) and −1.26±0.03 (E _P>100 MeV). The size distribution for corresponding flares follows a power law with a slope of −1.29±0.12. Thus, X-ray and proton fluxes produced in the same solar events have very similar distribution shapes. Moreover, the derived slopes are not incompatible with a linear dependence between X-ray flare power and proton fluxes near the Earth. A similar statistical relation is obtained independently from the direct comparison of the X-ray and proton fluxes. These all argue for a statistically significant relationship between X-ray and proton emissions.  相似文献   

The stellar-disk electric (short) circuit: observational predictions for a YSO jet flow     

Kurt Liffman 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2007,311(1-3):69-74

We discuss the star-disk electric circuit for a young stellar object (YSO) and calculate the expected torques on the star and the disk. We obtain the same disk magnetic field and star-disk torques as given by standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) analysis. We show how a short circuit in the star-disk electric circuit may produce a magnetically-driven jet flow from the inner edge of a disk surrounding a young star. An unsteady bipolar jet flow is produced that flows perpendicular to the disk plane. Jet speeds of order hundreds of kilometers per second are possible, while the outflow mass loss rate is proportional to the mass accretion rate and is a function of the disk inner radius relative to the disk co-rotation radius.  相似文献   

Pseudosection modelling for a selected eclogite body from the Koralpe (Hohl), Eastern Alps     

Emilie Bruand  Kurt Stüwe  Alexander Proyer 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2010,99(1-2):75-87

In the Kor-, Saualpe and Pohorje regions of the Eastern Alps eclogite bodies occur within metapelitic gneisses. The bodies are between 1 meter and several hundreds of meters in size and some of them were defined by Haüy (1822) as the type locality for the rock type “eclogite”. A growing body of petrological work has documented the metamorphic evolution of the metapelites surrounding the eclogites. However, few phase diagrams have been constructed for the eclogite bodies themselves. Here we use recently available activity models for amphiboles to present new thermodynamic pseudosections for the Hohl locality of the Koralpe eclogites. We show that this eclogite reached peak conditions in a narrow PT field obliquely oriented in PT space between 16.5 and 20.5 kbar and 620°C to 720°C and that its metamorphic evolution was likely to have occurred under water saturated conditions. We conclude that eclogite and the surrounding metapelites have certainly undergone the same metamorphic peak in Eo-alpine time. Comparison of our results with different PT estimates on the eclogite from Pohorje, suggest that a PT gradient from Koralpe to Pohorje is likely.  相似文献
