The Late Jurassic Zedong ophiolite: A remnant of subduction initiation within the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (southern Tibet) and its tectonic implications     

《Gondwana Research》2020

The Zedong ophiolite is the largest ophiolite massif east of Dazhuqu in the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone in the southern Tibetan Plateau. However, its age, geodynamic setting and relationship to the Xigaze ophiolite remain controversial. New zircon U–Pb ages, whole-rock geochemical and Nd–Pb isotopic data from ophiolitic units provide constraints on the geodynamic and tectonic evolution of the Zedong ophiolite. U–Pb zircon geochronology of dolerite lavas and late gabbro–diabase dikes yield weighted mean ages of 153.9 ± 2.5 Ma and 149.2 ± 5.1 Ma, respectively. Strong positive ε_Nd(t) and positive Δ7/4Pb and Δ8/4Pb values indicate derivation from a highly depleted mantle source with an isotopic composition similar to that of the Indian MORB-type mantle. The geochemistry of ophiolitic lavas and early dikes are analogous to typical island arc tholeiites whereas late dikes are similar to boninites. The geochemistry of these rock types suggests multi-stage partial melting of the mantle and gradually enhanced subduction influences to the mantle source through time. Combined with the MORB-like 162.9 ± 2.8 Ma Luobusha ophiolitic lavas, we suggest that the Luobusha lavas, Zedong lavas and early dikes originated in an infant proto-arc setting whereas late dikes in the Zedong ophiolite originated in a forearc setting. Together, they represent a Neo-Tethyan subduction initiation sequence. The Late Jurassic intra-oceanic proto-arc to forearc setting of the Zedong ophiolite contrasts with the continental margin forearc setting for the Xigaze ophiolite, which suggests a laterally complex geodynamic setting for ophiolites along the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone.  相似文献   

Infant intra-oceanic arc magmatism due to initial subduction induced by oceanic plateau accretion: A case study of the Bangong Meso-Tethys,central Tibet,western China     

《Gondwana Research》2020

The Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateaus are becoming conspicuous as giant units on the oceanic floor and have played important roles in both continental marginal orogenesis and Tethys oceanic evolution. In this study, we present mineralogical, geochronological, geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic data for basaltic lavas from the Namco ophiolite and a high-Mg pillow lava–dyke–gabbro association from the Pengco ophiolite in central Tibet. Zircon U–Pb and Ar–Ar dating reveals that the Namco lavas erupted at ∼181 Ma while the Pengco boninitic association formed at ∼164 Ma. The Namco lavas display nearly flat rare-earth element (REE) patterns with no Nb–Ta depletions as well as high ε_Nd values, characteristic of oceanic plateau lava. In contrast, the Pengco high-Mg rocks exhibit low REE concentrations below the normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB), ubiquitous Nb–Ta depletions and low ε_Nd values, and the dykes and gabbros are characterized by U-shape REE patterns, indicating that they could have derived from a depleted mantle source that was contaminated by sedimentary flux and marking a mid-Jurassic initial intra-oceanic arc magmatism erupted on the Early Jurassic Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateau represented by the Namco ophiolite. Our Pengco boninitic rocks, along with the literature data, indicate a 167–160 Ma boninitic-like initial intra-oceanic arc within the Bangong Meso-Tethys, running from the Shiquanhe area to the Naqu area with a length of ∼1000 km, which was uniformly built on the Early Jurassic Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateau. Our literature investigation also indicates a ∼175 Ma accretionary orogeny with distinct signature of the oceanic plateau involvements along the southern Qiangtang continental margin, which is manifested by regional metamorphic, magmatic and depositional records. We thus suggest that the accretion of the Early Jurassic Meso-Tethyan oceanic plateau onto the southern Qiangtang continental margin resulted in the extensive orogeny along the continental margin, jammed the subduction zone at ∼175 Ma and induced intra-oceanic subduction initiation as well as the intra-oceanic infant arc magmatism in the Meso-Tethys at ∼164 Ma.  相似文献   

Petrological,chemical and depositional aspects of eastern Himalayan coals from elephant flat area,Kameng district,Arunachal Pradesh,India     

《International Journal of Coal Geology》1987,8(3):279-297

The eastern Himalayan coals of India associated with Permian (Lower Gondwana) sediments in the Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh have petrographic and chemical properties differing from Peninsular Permian coals.The coals are moderately to highly crushed and have reached a semianthracitic stage. Macerals are highly reflecting and homogenized. Vitrinite and inertinite exhibit a crushing effect in the form of criss-cross fissures and cracks. Exinite is unidentifiable and has attained an inertinitic reflectivity. The Kameng coals are of high rank with average fixed carbon 88.75% and volatile matter 13.75% on d.a.f. basis. The reflectance values (R_o-max 2.02–2.31% in oil) of these coals are quite high with marked anisotropy.It is inferred that these peculiar coal properties have been attained due to prolonged tectonic disturbance in the area during the later Himalayan orogeny. The coal characteristics suggest that these coals were formed in a humid tropical climate within a deltaic regime. The depositional site experienced occasional marine influx due to tectonically controlled subsidence during peat accumulation.  相似文献   

Sedimentary evidence for recent eutrophication in the northern basin of Lake Taihu,China: human impacts on a large shallow lake

Environmental change in Lake Taihu and its catchment since the early to middle part of the twentieth century has left a clear geochemical record in the lake sediments. The human activities in the lake and its catchment responsible for the change include agriculture, fishery, urbanisation, sewage and industrial waster disposal. Sediment cores were collected from Meilian Bay of northern Lake Taihu to investigate the record of anthropogenic impacts on the lake’s ecosystem and to assess its natural, pre-eutrophication baseline state. Two marked stratigraphic sediment units were identified on the basis of total phosphorus concentration (TP), pigments, total organic carbon (TOC)/total nitrogen (TN), δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N corresponding to stages in the lake history dominated by phytoplankton, and by aquatic macrophytes. Results show that as TP loading increased from the early 1950s the lake produced sediments with increasing amounts of organic matter derived from phytoplankton. In the early 1950s, the first evidence for eutrophication at the Meilian Bay site is recorded by an increase in C/N values and in sediment accumulation rate, but there is little change in phosphorus concentrations, pigments, δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N at this time. After 1990 a more rapid increase in trophic status took place indicated by increased levels of phosphorus, pigments, δ¹⁵N and by decreased δ¹³C and TOC/TN values in the lake sediments. The first increase in trophic status of the early 1950s results mainly from agricultural development in the catchment. In contrast, the acceleration from ca. 1990 originates from the recent development of fisheries and the urbanisation and industrialisation of the catchment.  相似文献

Geochronological and geochemical constraints on the petrogenesis of Early Eocene metagabbroic rocks in Nabang (SW Yunnan) and its implications on the Neotethyan slab subduction     

《Gondwana Research》2015,28(4):1474-1486

Mafic rocks similar to those of the Gangdese belt have been poorly reported in the Nabang area (SW Yunnan Province in SW China) of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. This led to a widely-accepted assumption that Early Eocene mafic rocks are absent in Nabang. This paper reports new zircon U–Pb, Lu–Hf isotopic, whole-rock elemental and Sr–Nd isotopic data for the recently identified Tongbiguan and Jinzhuzhai metagabbroic plutons. Our data show that the two mafic plutons crystallized at 53.2 ± 0.4 Ma and 53.6 ± 0.7 Ma, respectively, with zircon in-situ ε_Hf(t) values ranging from − 3.1 to + 4.9. Our data confirm the presence of Early Eocene mafic rocks in Nabang, contemporaneous with the major magmatic flare-ups of ~ 52 Ma in South Tibet. The rocks show high-K calc-alkaline basalt and basaltic andesite composition. They are characterized by subparallel spiky patterns with enrichment in LILEs, depletion in HFSEs and P–Ti negative anomalies. They show (Nb/La)n = 0.21–0.63, Ce/Pb = 2.99–9.91 and Nb/U = 5.2–14.1, along with high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(t) ratios of 0.7061–0.7077 and ε_Nd(t) values of − 3.4 to − 5.6. Such geochemical signatures are similar to those of the synchronous Dangxung gabbroic and Yangbajing ultrapotassic rocks. Their least-contaminated samples can petrogenetically be attributed to input of slab-derived fluid into the lithospheric mantle. In conjunction with other available data, the mafic suite can be geochronologically and geochemically correlated to those in South Lhasa and are probably the equivalents of the Gangdese southeastward extension. Their formation might tectonically be related to slab rollback in response to the decreasing convergence rate. The termination of the Neotethyan subduction in SW Yunnan might be later than ~ 52 Ma, identical to that in South Tibet.  相似文献   

Impact of projected climate change on the hydrology in the headwaters of the Yellow River basin          下载免费PDF全文

Located in the northeast of the Tibetan Plateau, the headwaters of the Yellow River basin (HYRB) are very vulnerable to climate change. In this study, we used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to assess the impact of future climate change on this region's hydrological components for the near future period of 2013–2042 under three emission scenarios A1B, A2 and B1. The uncertainty in this evaluation was considered by employing Bayesian model averaging approach on global climate model (GCM) multimodel ensemble projections. First, we evaluated the capability of the SWAT model for streamflow simulation in this basin. Second, the GCMs' monthly ensemble projections were downscaled to daily climate data using the bias‐correction and spatial‐disaggregation method and then were utilized as input into the SWAT model. The results indicate the following: (1) The SWAT model exhibits a good performance for both calibration and validation periods after adjusting parameters in snowmelt module and establishing elevation bands in sub‐basins. (2) The projected precipitation suggests a general increase under all three scenarios, with a larger extent in both A1B and B1 and a slight variation for A2. With regard to temperature, all scenarios show pronounced warming trends, of which A2 displays the largest amplitude. (3) In the terms of total runoff from the whole basin, there is an increasing trend in the future streamflow at Tangnaihai gauge under A1B and B1, while the A2 scenario is characterized by a declining trend. Spatially, A1B and B1 scenarios demonstrate increasing trends across most of the region. Groundwater and surface runoffs indicate similar trends with total runoff, whereas all three scenarios exhibit an increase in actual evapotranspiration. Generally, both A1B and B1 scenarios suggest a warmer and wetter tendency over the HYRB in the forthcoming decades, while the case for A2 indicates a warmer and drier trend. Findings from this study can provide beneficial reference to water resource and eco‐environment management strategies for governmental policymakers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
