Abstract Mesozoic accretionary complexes of the southern Chichibu and the northern Shimanto Belts, widely exposed in the Kanto Mountains, consist of 15 tectonostratigraphic units according to radiolarian biochronologic data. The units show a zonal arrangement of imbricate structure and the age of the terrigenous clastics of each unit indicates successive and systematic southwestward younging. Although rocks in these complexes range in age from Carboniferous to Cretaceous, the trench-fill deposits corresponding to the Hauterivian, the Aptian to Middle Albian and the Turonian are missing. A close relationship between the missing accretionary complexes and the development of strike-slip basins is recognizable. The tectonic nature of the continental margin might have resulted from a change from a convergent into a transform or oblique-slip condition, so that strike-slip basins were formed along the mobile zones on the ancient accretionary complexes. Most terrigenous materials were probably trapped by the strike-slip basins. Then, the accretion of the clastic rock sequence occurred, probably as a result of the small supply of terrigenous materials in the trench. However, in the case of right-angle subduction, terrigenous materials might have been transported to the trench through submarine canyons and deposited there. Thus, the accretionary complexes grew rapidly and thickened. Changes both in oceanic plate motion and in the fluctuation of terrigenous supply due to the sedimentary trap caused pulses of accretionary complex growth during Jurassic and Cretaceous times. In the Kanto Mountains, three tectonic phases are recognized, reflecting the changes of the consuming direction of the oceanic plates along the eastern margin of the Asian continent. These are the Early Jurassic to early Early Cretaceous right-angle subduction of the Izanagi Plate, the Early to early Late Cretaceous strike-slip movement of the Izanagi and Kula Plates, and the late Late Cretaceous right-angle subduction of the Kula Plate.  相似文献   

Detailed current structures in the Eastern Channel of the Tsushima Strait in summer     

Osamu Katoh 《Journal of Oceanography》1993,49(1):17-30

We discussed the detailed current structures in the Eastern Channel of the Tsushima Strait, using four sets of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data, which were taken by the quadrireciprocal method (Katoh, 1988), for removing tidal currents, in summers of 1987–1989. In the Eastern Channel, diurnally averaged currents balanced almost geostrophically. In the upper layer of the deepest part of the Eastern Channel, there existed a current core which corresponded to one branch of the Tsushima Current. The current direction in this core was between NE and ENE in all observations but the magnitude of velocity in 1987 differed largely from that in 1988. Another current core with lower velocities was found near the north coast of Kyushu. Near the bottom at the deepest part of the Eastern Channel, the velocity was more or less 0.3 kt (15 cm s^–1). Along the east coast of Tsushima and in waters northeast of it, countercurrents were observed. The continuity of these countercurrents was interpreted as follows: A part of the current flowing from the Western Channel of the Tsushima Strait into the Japan Sea turns clockwise in waters northeast of Tsushima, and flows southwestward along the east coast of Tsushima. The southwestward current along Tsushima was correlated with the northeastward current in the central part of the Eastern Channel. The transport through the Eastern Channel was between 0.59 and 1.30 Sv (1 Sv=10⁶ m³s^–1). The baroclinic component, which was defined as the transport based on calculations of geostrophic current with assuming zero velocity near the bottom, was very small.  相似文献

ToruShimizu  HiroharuMatsueda  DaizoIshiyama  OsamuMatsubaya 《地质与资源》1999,8(3):185-187

Koryu矿山位于北海道南西部,为一浅成低温热液型Au-Ag石英脉型矿床.矿床产于中新世黑色泥岩中的东西向剪切带内.矿床含有8个主要脉体,总体呈东西走向,在水平、垂直方向上均发生结构、构造的变化.1号脉和3号脉中冰长石K-Ar年龄为0.8~1.2 Ma,表明矿化时代为更新世.根据矿脉体的穿插关系和脉内矿物共生关系得出矿区有2期矿化,早期矿化可分3个阶段（即E-Ⅰ,E-Ⅱ,E-Ⅲ）,晚期矿化可分成7个阶段（即L-Ⅰ,L-Ⅱ,L-Ⅲ,L-Ⅳ,L-Ⅴ,L-Ⅵ,L-Ⅶ）.宽矿脉体由多阶段矿化组成,Au-Ag矿化主要与L-Ⅲ阶段矿化密切相关.早期矿化形成的特征矿物为钙菱镁矿、钙锰辉石及少量矿石矿物;晚期矿化形成大量矿石矿物.含AuAg的矿物主要为银金矿、螺状硫银矿-辉硒银矿、硫锑铜银矿-硫砷铜银矿、浓红银矿-淡红银矿、辉铜银矿、马硫铜银矿、碲银矿和黝铜矿.而脉石矿物为绿泥石、蒙脱石、石英.区内许多成矿阶段均含富气相流体包裹体,这表明沸腾作用在整个过程中间歇发生.早期矿化温度（263~283℃）稍高于晚期矿化温度（246~260℃）.成矿溶液盐度为0.5%~6.0% NaCl当量,尽管CO₂含量在晚期矿化阶段达0.4%（质量分数）.这些特征表明成矿流体最大压力为3.1~6.8 M Pa,相当于古潜水面下430~850 m深度.石英形态学结合流体包裹体研究证实流体沸腾作用反复发生,导致SiO₂过饱和,形成结构各异的二氧化硅矿物.在脉体形成过程中,SiO₂重结晶形成石英.稳定同位素资料、矿物共生组合特征、石英结构特征和流体包裹体特征综合研究得出Koryu金-银矿床成矿模式如下：矿床矿化分为明显的两期,即早期和晚期,分别对应类型1和类型2两种热液流体.早期流体具相对高的W¹⁸O值（-5.3‰~-4.7‰）,温度不低于260℃;晚期流体W¹⁸O值相对偏低（-9.3‰~-6.0‰）,温度250℃以上.类型1流体发生深部循环,淋滤Ca和M n元素,在早期矿化过程中形成钙菱镁矿、钙锰辉石.与浅成水混合的类型2流体沿新通道上升,富含Au、Ag元素.在晚期矿化过程中,流体上升至沸腾带（ < 850 m）,金、银在250℃沉淀成矿.  相似文献   

On Structure and Temporal Variation of the Bifurcation Current off the Kii Peninsula   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Kii Bifurcation Current is often found along the southwest coast of the Kii Peninsula, and its frequency of occurrence reaches about 70% in the period from 1988 to 1996 (Takeuchi et al., 1998a). In order to clarify the structure and short-period variability of the Kii Bifurcation Current, detailed observations were made four times on board the R/V Seisui-maru of Mie University on October 29–31, 1996, on June 24–26, 1997, October 14–16, 1997, and December 3–4, 1997. The measured horizontal structure of the Kii Bifurcation Current indicates that the eastern portion of the Current (eastward flow near Cape Shionomisaki) consists of a part of the current zone of the Kuroshio. It is shown that the current structure, including the Kii Bifurcation Current in the vicinity of Cape Shionomisaki, is stable when the Kuroshio is flowing in a stationary straight path, but that the current structure is considerably changed when small-scale eddies pass by the cape. Such short-period variation can be monitored by using the daily variation of the sea level difference between Kushimoto and Uragami. In particular, in the case of October 29–31, 1996, when an eminent small-scale eddy passed by Cape Shionomisaki, and when the Kuroshio axis tentatively moved southwards about 50 km apart from the coast, the Kii Bifurcation Current seems to have disappeared.  相似文献   

Air-sea gas transfer in a shallow,flowing and coastal environment estimated by dissolved inorganic carbon and dissolved oxygen analyses     

Osamu Abe  Atsushi Watanabe  V. V. S. S. Sarma  Yohei Matsui  Hiroya Yamano  Naohiro Yoshida  Toshiro Saino 《Journal of Oceanography》2010,66(3):363-372

We estimated gas exchange rates in Kabira Reef at Ishigaki Island, southwest Japan, using a mass balance calculation with dual “biological” tracers: dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and dissolved oxygen (DO). The nighttime results allowed us to obtain reasonable gas transfer velocity k _w values, all of which exceeded those obtained in wind-dominant studies. The difference is likely due to the contribution of turbulence generated by the interaction between the current and bottom topography. The k _w obtained during high tides is consistent with that reported by Raymond and Cole (2001), whereas k _w during low tides is significantly higher, which seems to be caused by enhanced friction with the bottom of the reef and/or bubble-induced gas transfer by wave breaking at the reef crest.  相似文献   

基于地震折射剖面的菲律宾海板块15～20°N九州—帕劳海岭的地壳结构变化     

A.Nishizawa  K.Kaneda  Y.Katagiri  J.Kasahara  张洁 《世界地震译丛》2011,(3)

得到了菲律宾海板块15～20°N之间4条垂直于九州—帕劳海岭(KPR)剖面的重合广角和多道地震反射数据。九州—帕劳海岭为晚始新世时期形成的残余岛弧,其下的地壳厚度沿走向由8km变至20km,并且总是大于西侧西菲律宾海盆和东侧帕里西维拉海盆的相邻洋壳厚度。4条剖面中地壳最厚的区域位于九州—帕劳海岭与冲之鸟礁接壤处,初步推断可能是下地壳增厚的缘故。没有明显的证据能证明,在伊豆—小笠原—马里亚纳岛弧共轭断裂对应部分之下有推测出的P波速度为6.0～6.5km/s的厚(>5km)中地壳层。我们的结果表明,15～20°N的九州—帕劳海岭之下的地壳,相对于报道有P波速度6.0km/s的中地壳层的更北部海岭地区而言,属于不太成熟的岛弧地壳。  相似文献   

On sexual dimorphism in Paleoparadoxia tabatai     

Yoshikazu  Hasegawa Yojiro  Taketani Hajime  Taru Osamu  Sakamoto Makoto  Manabe 《Island Arc》1994,3(4):513-521

Abstract Upon studying the well preserved skulls referred to Paleoparadoxia tabatai from Japan, the short and low skull of the Yanagawa specimen requires an explanation. Six cranial and dental characters lead us to suggest that the Yanagawa individual is a female while the Izumi, Ohnohara, and Itsukaichi skulls are male. The important characters in the Yanagawa skull are its shortness and shallow depth, less pronounced sagittal and nuchal crests, smaller zygoma, and the small dentition with especially poorly erupted canines, most of which are indicative of weak masticatory musculature.  相似文献   

Emplacement processes of proto-arc basalt in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana arc system     

Yuki Kusano  Osamu Ishizuka  Rosemary Hickey-Vargas  Richard J. Arculus 《Island Arc》2021,30(1):e12401

Ascertaining the emplacement mechanism of oceanic basaltic lavas is important in understanding how ocean floor topography is produced and oceanic plates evolve, particularly during the early stages of crustal development of a supra-subduction zone. A detailed study of the volcanic stratigraphy at International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1438 in the Amami Sankaku Basin, west of the Kyushu–Palau Ridge, has revealed the development of lava accretion and ridge topography on the Philippine Sea plate at about 49 Ma. Igneous basement rocks penetrated at Site U1438 are the uppermost 150 m of ~6 km-thick oceanic crust, and comprise, in a downhole direction, sheet flows (12.6 m), lobate sheet flows (61.3 m), pillow lavas (50.7 m), and thin sheet flows (25.3 m). The lowermost sheet flows are intercalated with layers of limestone and epiclastic tuff. Lithofacies analysis reveals that the lowermost sheet flows, limestone, and tuff formed on an axial rise, the pillow lavas were emplaced on a ridge slope, and the lobate sheet flows formed off ridge on an abyssal plain. The lithofacies of the basement basalt corresponds to the upper portions of fast-spreading oceanic crust, suggesting that subduction initiation was associated with intermediate to fast rates of seafloor spreading. The surface sheet flows are olivine–clinopyroxene-phyric basalt and differ from the lower basalt flows that contain phenocrysts of olivine and plagioclase, with or without clinopyroxene. The depleted chrome-spinel composition and olivine–clinopyroxene phenocryst assemblage in the surface sheet flows suggests a slight contribution of water for magma generation not present for the lower basalt flows. Considering the lithological difference between the backarc and forearc oceanic crust in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana arc, with sheet flow dominant in the former, seafloor spreading occurred faster in the later stage of subduction initiation.  相似文献
