The complicated structural and rheologic properties of Western Carpathian lithosphere reflect the complex geodynamic history of the Carpathian orogen. Based on critical analysis of earlier models, new interpolation of existing geophysical data and results of integrated modelling, a new map of the lithosphere thickness for the Carpathian–Pannonian region has been constructed. The map allows for the distinction of a frontal orogen collision zone in the NE (from increased lithosphere thickness) as well as a zone of oblique collision with the Bohemian Massif in the West, where lithosphere is not significantly thickened. The MOHO discontinuity beneath the Western Carpathian hinterland (Danube and East Slovak Basins), as defined by deep reflection seismic profiling, is relatively shallow. This probably reflects recent crustal extension related to oblique collision between the European plate and the ALCAPA block and an increase of the asthenospheric updoming from the Middle Miocene onward.Crustal thickness reflects the combined effects of deep-seated orogenic processes and mantle thermal evolution beneath the Pannonian Basin system. In this study, we focus particularly the structures of: (1) the Late Alpine collision and Neogene back arc basin development, including deep-seated contacts between colliding plates, a zone of slab detachment, the compressional accretionary wedge of the Outer Western Carpathian Flysch Belt, and extensional structures produced by subduction rollback and asthenosphere upwelling; (2) Early Alpine structures related to Cretaceous thrust-stacking, including subhorizontal reflection packages (interpreted as multi-generational extensional structures), the underplated intra-Penninic (Oravic) continental ribbon, and ophiolite traces of the Meliatic oceanic suture; and (3) north-dipping reflectors interpreted as remnant Hercynian lithotectonic fragments with opposed vergency to the subducted Alpine units.  相似文献   

Effect of soil crusting on the emission and transport of wind-eroded sediment: field measurements on loamy sandy soil   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Dirk Goossens   《Geomorphology》2004,58(1-4):145-160

Field data are reported for the horizontal and vertical flux of wind-eroded sediment on an agricultural field in northern Germany. Measurements were made during a windstorm that hit the region on 18 May 1999. The magnitude of both fluxes was significantly affected by the presence of a surface crust covering the test field. Measuring the physical crust strength at 45 locations with a torvane, the relationships between crust strength (τ) and the horizontal (F_h) and vertical (F_v) sediment fluxes were investigated. Both fluxes decreased as the surface crust became stronger. The decay behaved as an exponential function for both types of flux. The horizontal sediment flux over a crusted surface can be accurately predicted by completing Marticorena and Bergametti's [Journal of Geophysical Research 100 (1995) 16415] erosion model with a crust function. The vertical particle flux over crusted soil can be calculated by adding a similar function to Alfaro and Gomes's [Journal of Geophysical Research 106D (2001) 18075] dust production model. The study also suggests that the gradual bombardment of a surface crust by impacting particles does not immediately result in a decay of the crust's protective effect, provided that the crust has a minimum thickness. However, once the crust becomes perforated, its protective effect disappears very quickly, leading to much higher horizontal and vertical sediment fluxes than predicted for undamaged crusted soil.  相似文献

Seismic velocity model of the crust and uppermost mantle around the Mirnyi kimberlite field in Siberia

We present the first detailed seismic velocity models of the crust and uppermost mantle around the Mirnyi kimberlite field in Yakutia, Siberia. We have digitized vintage seismograms that were acquired in 1981 and 1983 by use of Taiga analogue seismographs along two perpendicular seismic profiles. The 370-km long, northwest striking profile I across the kimberlite pipe was covered by 41 seismographs, which recorded seismic signals from 21 chemical shots along the line, including one off-end shot. The perpendicular, 340-km long profile II across profile I ca. 30 km to the south of the Mirnyi kimberlite field was covered by 45 seismographs, which recorded seismic signals from 22 chemical shots, including four off-end shots. Each shot involved detonation of between 1.5 and 6.0 tons of TNT, distributed in individual charges of 100–200 kg in shallow water (< 2 m deep). The data is of high quality with high signal/noise ratio to the farthest offsets. We present the results from two-dimensional ray tracing, forward modelling.Both velocity models show normal cratonic structure of the ca. 45-km-thick crust with only slight undulation of the Moho. However, relatively small seismic velocity is detected to 25-km depth in a ca. 60-km wide zone around the kimberlite pipe, surrounded by elevated velocity (> 6.3 km/s) in the upper crust. The lower crust has a relatively constant velocity of 6.8–6.9 km/s. It appears relatively unaffected by the presence of the kimberlite field. Extremely large P-wave velocity (> 8.7 km/s) of the sub-Moho mantle is interpreted along profile I, except for a 70-km wide zone with a “normal” Pn velocity of 8.1 km/s below the kimberlite. Profile II mainly shows Pn velocities of 8.0–8.2 km/s, with unusually large velocity (> 8.5 km/s) in two, ca. 100-km wide zones, at its southwestern end, one zone being close to the kimberlite field. The nature of these exceptionally large, sub-Moho mantle velocities is not yet understood. The difference in velocity in the two profile directions indicates anisotropy, but the effect of unusual rock composition, e.g. from a high concentration of garnet, cannot be excluded.  相似文献   

论新疆深大断裂特征与地震的关系(2)     

宋和平 《内陆地震》2006,20(1):1-9

新疆独有的地貌形态及展布特征反映了地壳岩石圈深部物质运移变化的结果。由于地理位置和所处的构造部位的不同,中部天山山脉、北部阿尔泰山脉、西南部昆仑—阿尔金山脉在地壳岩石圈深部特征都有很大差异,它们有整体共性的必然联系,也有区域个性的特殊面貌。了解和认识岩石圈结构及其变化特征,对于分析研究该区域构造环境、应力场和地震的发生等有重要意义。  相似文献   

鄂尔多斯块体西缘及西南缘深部电性结构与该区地质构造的关系   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

对在地理位置上具有一定代表性的鄂尔多斯块体西缘及西南缘的３ 条大地电磁剖面进行了分析。盐池—阿拉善左旗剖面：整条剖面上均有壳内低阻层和上地幔低阻层分布,低阻层在银川断陷盆地上隆。定边—景泰剖面：壳内低阻层仅出现在弧形断裂带区,但上地幔低阻层在整个剖面上都有分布。在弧形断裂带区上地幔低阻层埋藏深度加大,但并不上隆,这与北面银川断陷盆地的上地幔上隆形成反照。分析认为,银川断陷盆地属于拉张性质,而弧形断裂带区属于挤压性质,由于均衡调整作用,造成了两者上地幔结构的反差。成县—西吉剖面：以天水太京测点为界,其南、北两段的电性结构差异较大,这为划分南、北两个地质单元提供了深部结构上的依据  相似文献

基于Ｍａｘｗｅｌｌ和Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ流变模型，以延续时间与松弛期的比值，即松弛数，作为衡量指标，对地壳、上地幔不同层次的变形属性进行了判别。结果表明，除软流圈地幔主要为粘性流动外，其上各层的情况是：在漫长的地质过程中，不仅岩石圈地幔和下地壳属于粘性，上地壳也有可能处于粘性流动状态；在延续数十年的情况下，上地壳以及岩石圈地幔都可能呈弹性状态；延续时间介乎二者，通常上地壳为弹性，下地壳和岩石圈地幔为粘性或滞弹粘性。此外，还结合变形属性的判别，就岩石圈地幔的流动和板内的驱动力远程传递等问题进行了讨论  相似文献

根据黄海及其周边地区的布格重力资料，通过多种方法处理，得到有关断裂的信息并求取了研究区的地壳厚度分布. 经过与地震层析成像结果、地质资料的对比和综合分析，认为朝鲜半岛西缘断裂带和济州岛南缘断裂带均为深大断裂，断裂带的两侧速度结构存在较大差异. 推断朝鲜半岛和南黄海分别属于不同的地质单元. 根据对岩石层结构的综合分析，认为中朝与扬子块体在黄海海域的接触关系是扬子块体推覆于中朝块体之上. 从目前的地震层析成像、重力异常、地壳厚度分布等结果来看，还不足以判断扬子与华南块体结合带在黄海海域中的准确位置.  相似文献
