Planktic foraminifera from the calcareous substrate of a ferromanganese crust in the Vityaz Fracture Zone （VFZ）, Central Indian Ridge were studied to reconstruct the early Pliocene paleoceanography of this region. Eleven species of planktic foraminifera were encountered, among them Globorotalia menardii, Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, Globigerina bulloides and Globigerinoides tuber are prominent. Predominance of N. dutertrei in the top 3 cm of the carbonate substrate is attributed to an influx of fresh water which eventually triggered their productivity by increasing the nutrient level. The presence of G. bulloides and G. menardii in significant proportions in deeper layers suggests the prevalence of open ocean upwelling. The bulk chemical compositions of the substrate at different depth intervals indicates higher enrichment of trace metals in the upper sections which could have been supplied through oceanic water by the chemical weathering of terrestrial matter during the peak of Pliocene Asian monsoon. Thus, it is concluded that during the early Pliocene the biogenic components of the substrate were distinctly contributed by both upwelling and productivity triggered by an influx of fresh water originating from the intensification of the Asian monsoon during the early Pliocene Period.  相似文献

西安地裂缝活动及其发展趋势的分析     

张骏  赵之胜  倪万魁 《地球科学与环境学报》1988,(3)

本文利用多年来各方面对西安地裂缝调查、监测和分析研究的资料,在对西安现今地裂和历史地裂时空分布特征和活动规律进行全面分析的基础上,预测和估算了西安地裂缝在未来40年左右和10年左右的活动趋势和活动量(包括扩展量、沉降量、张开量和平移量等),认为西安地裂在此期间仍将以较大速率活动。本文不仅是对西安地裂缝开展定量化研究的一种尝试,而且对西安市的市政建设和工农业生产也将具有一定的实际参考价值。  相似文献
