Latest Miocene to Quaternary horizontal and vertical displacement rates during simultaneous contraction and extension in the Southern Apennines orogen, Italy     

Luigi Ferranti  John S. Oldow 《地学学报》2005,17(3):209-214

Foreland contraction and hinterland extension in the Southern Apennines orogen of Italy produced a complex spatial and temporal pattern of vertical and horizontal displacement. Remarkably, Late Miocene to mid-Pleistocene foreland migration of the contractional front at ∼16 mm yr⁻¹ was not accompanied by uplift and the frontal thrust belt remained at or below sea level. Only following a mid-Pleistocene reduction in horizontal displacement did the frontal thrust belt and foreland begin uplift at ∼0.5 mm yr⁻¹, a rate that increased to ∼1 mm yr⁻¹ after 125 ka. Although the extensional hinterland experienced net subsidence during formation of the Tyrrhenian basin, an extensional transition zone adjacent to the frontal thrust belt records sustained uplift at ∼0.3 mm yr⁻¹. The interaction of preexisting crustal structure and deep tectonic processes resulted in time-integrated displacement rates suggesting steady-state deformation for periods of 10⁶ years. Displacement rate changes were abrupt and occurred over intervals of 10⁵ years or less.  相似文献   

Active thrust tectonics in western Sicily (southern Italy): the 1968 Belice earthquake sequence     

Carmelo Monaco  Stefano Mazzoli  Luigi Tortorici 《地学学报》1996,8(4):372-381

The 1968 Belice earthquake sequence, characterized by six main shocks with 5 < M < 5.4, represents the strongest seismic event recorded in western Sicily in historical times. The epicentral area is located in the Belice Valley, a region lacking any topographic lineament likely to result from a fault with significant offsets of any kind. Instrumental data show that hypocentres of the major shocks are distributed along a roughly N-dipping plane extending from about 36 km to 1 km depth. Fault plane solutions show pure thrusting mechanisms on N-dipping, ENE-trending planes, or oblique slip with a right-lateral component of motion along steep WSW-dipping planes, both as a result of approximate N-S shortening. The observed destruction indicates that isoseismal areas are elongated in an ENE direction. Similarly, the epiccntral distribution of events with M ≥ 4 outlines a roughly elliptical ENE-elongated area located 20 km NW of the Sciacca-Rocca Ficuzza thrust front. This ENE-striking structure, representing the regional morphotectonic feature closest to the epicentral area, consists of two main imbricate fan systems. In the southernmost system, Quaternary deposits (tentatively dated as 1.0–0.7 Myr old) are involved in a large ramp anticline uplifting them to a maximum altitude of 346 m. The occurrence of Holocene lacustrine piggy-back basins on the rear of this structure also indicates late Quaternary activity of the underlying thrust. Seismological, structural and morphotectonic observations suggest that multiple ruptures might have occurred during the 1968 sequence on a blind crustal thrust ramp located beneath the epicentral area. Slip propagated southwards along the shallow ramp-flat system characterizing the thin-skinned foreland fold and thrust belt of southwestern Sicily, being dispersed in flexural folding processes and diffuse strain along this path.  相似文献   

A possible solar-wind cause of the segmented appearance and of the changes in orientation of the plasma-tail axis of Comet Austin 1982g     

Marco Fulle  Luigi Pansecchi 《Icarus》1984,57(3):410-421

Several directional discontinuities in the plasma tail of Comet Austin 1982g are apparent on photographs obtained by different observers between 1982 Augut 17.84 and August 21.85. Furthermore, anomalous changes in the orientation of the inner tail axis with respect to the projection on the sky of the prolonged radius vector are noticed. An analysis based on the wind-sock theory of plasma comet tail orientations shows that changes in the azimuthal component of the solar-wind velocity would have produced the observed anomalies. No satellite data on interplanetary conditions were available to check the existence of such a solar-wind event. A type II–IV solar radio event observed on August 17.64, followed by a geomagnetic storm in August 20.67, might denote, however, the existence of a solar flare-generated interplanetary disturbance.  相似文献   

The determination of deep temperatures by means of the CO-CO2-H2-H2O geothermometer: an example using fumaroles in the Campi Flegrei,Italy. A comment     

Roberto Cioni  Luigi Marini 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1990,53(1):67-69

Three points raised in the paper by Tedesco and Sabroux (1987) are dealt with. (1) The inconsistency between the water partial pressure calculated by Tedesco and Sabroux (1987) and saturation pressure is due to the improper use of the water-gas-shift reaction as a geothermometer. In fact Tedesco and Sabroux (1987) do not take into account the distribution of gas species between the coexisting vapour and liquid phases. (2) The depth of the “steam reservoir” is evaluated by Tedesco and Sabroux (1987) in too simplistic a way. This matter should be treated with greater care owing to the high social impact of any consideration on the Phlegraean Fields system. (3) The reliability of carbon monoxide determination at the concentration level encountered at Solfatara depends on the collection method rather than on the gas-chromatographic technique.  相似文献   

The Double Solid Reactant Method for modeling the release of trace elements from dissolving solid phases: I. Outline and limitations     

Marina Accornero  Luigi Marini 《Environmental Geology》2008,55(8):1627-1635

A Double Solid Reactant Method was elaborated from a suggestion of Marini (Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide: Thermodynamics, kinetics, and reaction path modeling. Developments in Geochemistry, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007) to simulate the release of trace elements during the progressive dissolution of solid phases. The method is based on the definition, for each dissolving solid, of both an entity whose thermodynamic and kinetic properties are known (either a pure mineral or a solid mixture) and a special reactant, that is, a material of known stoichiometry and unknown thermodynamic and kinetic properties. The special reactant is utilised to take into account the concentrations of trace elements in the dissolving solid phase. In this communication, the influence of several trace elements on the ΔG _f ^o, ΔG _r ^o and log K of the minerals considered by Lelli et al. (Environ Geol, 2007) and Accornero and Marini (Geobasi, 2007a; Proceedings of IMWA symposium, Cagliari, 27–31 May 2007b) was evaluated assuming ideal mixing in the solid state. These effects were found to be negligible for albite and the leucite–latitic glass, limited for muscovites and chlorites, and slightly more important for apatites. These influences become progressively higher with increasing concentration of trace elements in these minerals. Based on these deviations in thermodynamic parameters, special reactants should not include oxide components with molar fractions higher than 0.003.

Pressure dependence of structural parameters of paragonite     

Paola Comodi  Pier Francesco Zanazzi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1997,24(4):274-280

The compressibility and structure of a 2M₁ paragonite with composition [Na_0.88K_0.10Ca_0.01Ba_0.01] [Al_1.97Ti_0.007Fe_0.01Mn_0.002Mg_0.006]Si_3.01Al_0.99O₁₀OH₂ were determined at pressures between 1 bar and 41 kbar, by single crystal X-ray diffraction using a Merrill-Bassett diamond anvil cell. Compressibility turned out to be largely anisotropic, linear compressibility coefficients parallel to the unit cell edges being β_a=3.5(1)·10^?4, β_b=3.6(1)·10^?4, β_c=8.3(3)·10^?4 kbar^?1 (β_a:β_b·β_c=1:1028:2.371). The isothermal bulk modulus, calculated as the reciprocal of the mean compressibility of the cell volume, was 650(20) kbar. The main features of the deformation mechanism resulting from structural refinements at pressures of 0.5, 25.4, 40.5 kbar were: –?variation in sheet thickness, showing that compression of the c parameter was mainly due to the interlayer thickness reduction from 3.07 Å at 0.5 kbar to 2.81 Å at 40.5 kbar; –?the compressibility of octahedra was greater than that of tetrahedra, the dimensional misfit between tetrahedral and octahedral sheets increased with P, so that tetrahedral rotation angel α increased from 15° at 0.5 kbar to 21.6° at 40.5 kbar; –?the basal surface corrugation (Δz) of the tetrahedral layer, due to the different dimensions of M1 and M2 octahedra and to the octahedral distortion, decreased with P (Δz=0.19 and 0.12 Å at 0.5 and 40.5 kbar respectively). Comparison of the new data on paragonite with those of a K-muscovite and a Na-rich muscovite (Comodi and Zanazzi 1995) revealed a clear trend toward decreasing of compressibility when Na substitutes for K atoms in the interlayer sites.  相似文献
