A hydrogeochemical study of the impact of land use on the composition of natural waters in the Vouzela region in northern Portugal was carried out during the summer of 1983. Water samples were collected from spring and major streams in the area and analyzed for major constituents and some trace elements. Analysis of variance and subsequent pairwise contrast tests demonstrated that waters from agricultural areas are significantly enriched in constiluents such as Na, K, Ca, Mg, Sr, Cl, SO₄, and NO₃. High concentrations of these ions in agricultural areas are the result of both the application of fertilizers and enhanced evaporation by the intensive irrigation of agricultural lands. Constitutents such as H₄SiO₄, HCO₃, F, and probably Li, which are typically related to mineral weathering, were not affected by land use. In waters from forested areas the concentration of most constituents was about 20% higher than in waters from uncultivated areas with mainly a grass cover. This reflects the difference in the evapotranspiration of these two vegetation types. The chemistry of the Rio Zela clearly reflects differences in land use in the Rio Zela valley.  相似文献   

Thermodynamics of plagioclase II: Temperature evolution of the spontaneous strain at the I\bar 1 \leftrightarrow P\bar 1 phase transition in anorthite     

Simon A. T. Redfern  Ekhard Salje 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1987,14(2):189-195

The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters of pure anorthite with high Al/Si order reveals the predicted tricritical behaviour of the \(I\bar 1 \leftrightarrow P\bar 1\) phase transition at T _c ^* =510 K. The spontaneous strain couples to the order parameter Q° as x _i∝S _xQ ⁱ Q°² with S _xQ ¹ =4.166×10^?3, S _xQ ² =0.771×10^?3, S _xQ ³ =?7.223×10^?3 for the diagonal elements. The temperature dependence of Q° is $$Q^{\text{o}} = \left( {1 - \frac{T}{{510}}} \right)^\beta ,{\text{ }}\beta = \tfrac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{4}}}$$ A strong dependence of T _c ^* , S _xQ ⁱ and β is predicted for Al/Si disordered anorthite.  相似文献   

Nests of intermediate depth (70–160 km) earthquakes adjacent to active volcanoes during 1963–1982     

Michael J. Carr 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1983,19(3-4)

Uniform maps of circumpacific convergence zones constructed by the same projection and scale reveal three main associations between intermediate depth seismicity and contemporaneous volcanic activity. First, in areas of high seismicity there are usually few active volcanoes. Second, in areas of low to moderate seismicity aseismic domains can often be recognized beneath the active volcanoes. Third, adjacent to the aseismic domains there are nests of seismicity located a few 10's of km away from the active volcanoes usually in the direction of the trench. More than 40 such nests are identified in the circumpacific and Indonesian arcs. These three associations may be related to melting near the upper surface of the underthrust slab. A fluid phase, either silicate melt or a hydrous fluid released by dehydration of the slab, would lower the strength of the slab and create aseismic zones beneath the active volcanoes. Nests of earthquakes can develop by stress concentration at the margins of the weak zones. Areas not volcanically active have little or no fluid phase and a higher level of seismicity.  相似文献   

A new technique for determining the surface level of salt marshes and other uncompacted sedimentary environments     

Alan P. Carr 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1983,8(3):293-296

The method described involves the use of an electro-optical distance measurer mounted on a theodolite. Observations are taken onto a series of acrylic reflectors, aligned at right angles to the line of sight, and slope distances and vertical and horizontal angles are recorded. From these data it is possible to obtain surface heights to an accuracy of ±0·5 cm at 200 m and to avoid any direct disturbance of the site under investigation.  相似文献   

内蒙古苏尼特左旗南两类花岗岩同位素年代学及其构造意义   总被引：93，自引：1，他引：92

内蒙古北部索伦缝合带（索伦-苏尼特左旗-锡林浩特）被多数中外学者认为是西伯利亚板块南缘和华北板块北缘的最终缝合带,本文选择该缝合带上苏尼特左旗南两类花岗岩-与俯冲有关和与碰撞有关的岩浆岩（分别叫弧岩浆岩和碰撞岗岩）进行同位素年代学研究,结果表明：（1）弧岩浆活动有两期,分别约为490Ma和310Ma(锆石U-Pb,SHRIMP);碰撞花岗岩的侵位年代在230-250Ma(Rb-Sr全岩和锆石U-Pb);（2）根据本文新的年代学数据,索伦缝合带的最终缝合时间可能是在230-310Ma,这显然不同于国内多数学者坚持的“晚泥盆世碰撞”模式;而Sengor等推测的“晚二又开展碰撞”模式与本文数据一致。  相似文献   

Marine risk assessment: linear alkylbenzenesulponates (LAS) in the North Sea     

Temara A  Carr G  Webb S  Versteeg D  Feijtel T 《Marine pollution bulletin》2001,42(8):635-642

The fate of linear alkylbenzenesulponates (LAS) in estuaries and coastal areas of the North Sea has been characterized with simple environmental models. The predicted concentration range in the estuaries around the North Sea (0.9-9 microg LAS l(-1)) was validated by monitoring data (1-9 microg LAS l(-1)). In offshore sites of the North Sea, it is estimated--and experimentally verified for a few sites--that the LAS concentration is below analytical detection limit (i.e., 0.5 microg LAS l(-1)). The effects of LAS on marine organisms have been reviewed. For short-term acute tests, there was no significant difference (p = 0.83) between the mean LC50 values of freshwater and marine organisms (mainly pelagic species tested, 4.1 and 4.3 mg LAS l(-1), respectively). For longer-term chronic tests, it appeared that the sensitivity (mean no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) value) of marine and freshwater organisms (0.3 and 2.3 mg LAS l(-1), respectively) was significantly different pt-test = 0.007). The predicted no-effect-concentrations (PNEC) were 360 and 31 microg LAS l(-1), for freshwater and marine pelagic communities, respectively. Given that the maximum expected estuarine and marine concentrations are 3 to > 30 times lower than the PNEC, the risk of LAS to pelagic organisms in these environments is judged to be low.  相似文献

'Driving people crazy': A geography of boy racers in Christchurch, New Zealand     

Ryan Falconer  Simon Kingham 《New Zealand geographer》2007,63(3):181-191

Abstract:   So-called 'boy racers' form a subculture, which is subject to ongoing public scrutiny and media attention, usually negative. This study aimed to deconstruct the term 'boy racer' and to explore the subculture in detail, within the context of Christchurch, New Zealand, using a phenomenological ethnographic approach. This included conducting semistructured interviews and observing the activities of participants. Results show the subculture has a relatively diverse membership and a range of associated behaviours, activities and attitudes. Moreover, performances within the subculture are linked to place, and are seen by other members of the community as threats to normative boundaries.  相似文献   

Morphologies and emplacement mechanisms of the lava flows of the Faroe Islands Basalt Group,Faroe Islands,NE Atlantic Ocean     

Simon R. Passey  Brian R. Bell 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2007,70(2):139-156

The Palaeogene Faroe Islands Basalt Group (FIBG) comprises three eruptive sequences or formations, all emplaced into a subaerial environment during the development of the extensive continental flood basalt province that stretches from East Greenland through the Faroe Islands and into the Faroe-Shetland Basin. The Beinisvørð Formation, having a tabular-classic facies architecture, is composed of a sequence of simple flows each comprising a single sheet lobe. The Beinisvørð Formation is overlain by the distinctly contrasting Malinstindur Formation that has a compound-braided facies architecture. The Enni Formation occurs at the top of the sequence and consists of a mixture of simple and compound flows with tabular-classic and compound-braided facies architectures, respectively. Surface and internal characteristics of the sheet lobes of the Beinisvørð and Enni formations indicate emplacement through inflation, which is more obvious for the tube-fed compound flows of the Malinstindur and Enni formations. The difference between the simple and compound flow sequences of the FIBG is, most likely, linked to the manner in which the lava was supplied during the eruption and the eruptive style of the volcanic system. The sheet lobes were erupted over laterally extensive areas from fissure systems which had a continuous supply of lava, which contrasts with the tube-fed compound flows which were erupted in a gradual, piecemeal manner from point-sourced, low shield volcanoes with limited areal extents.  相似文献
