The Permian Kas Formation of SE Turkey—palynological correlation with strata from Saudi Arabia and Oman     

Ellen Stolle  M. Namik Yalin  Orhan Kavak 《Geological Journal》2011,46(6):561-573

The Kas Formation in SE Turkey was deposited as part of the Permian sequence on the northern margin of the Arabian Plate. Its stratigraphic relationship to time‐equivalent strata of the Arabian Plate was mentioned briefly in previous studies, but has not been elaborated and illustrated in detail. This biostratigraphic review of existing palaeontological data has improved the accuracy of age interpretation for the Kas Formation, and the relationship of its excellent palynological record to the international Permian chronostratigraphic units. As a result, this study has identified a number of key palynological species from the Kas Formation, which occur as well as in the ‘Basal Khuff Clastics’ of Saudi Arabia and in the ‘Khuff transition section’ of Oman. All these units have approximately the same age: Wordian to early Capitanian, based on ‘age control’ provided by Foraminifera. This study also demonstrates that, by using key palynological taxa, correlation of strata would be possible across the entire Arabian Plate in this narrow time range. Hence, the ‘Oman and Saudi Arabia Palynological Zone 6’ (OSPZ6) is applicable throughout the Arabian Plate area, including the northern regions of SE Turkey and Iraq.

武夷山成矿带燕山期岩浆-成矿活动的深部动力学机制一直是学者们研究的热点.已有的研究结果表明,武夷山成矿带及邻区的上地幔存在着显著的低速异常,可能与地表的岩浆-成矿活动存在着密切的联系.本研究利用分布在华夏地块98个固定地震台站以及59个流动地震台站所记录到的278个远震事件,采用远震层析成像方法构建了武夷山成矿带及邻区...  相似文献   

日本9.0级大地震前长波辐射异常研究   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文

方颖  张艳梅 《地球物理学报》2012,55(8):2620-2624

应用聚类分析方法对日本M_w9.0地震前长波辐射进行了分析,结果表明2010年8月在大范围的西太平洋海域,出现一个自北向南逐渐增强的季节性高温条带,该条带从日本海沟中北段开始,一直向南延伸到伊豆—小笠原海沟.同时日本海沟的地壳垂直运动自2010年8月份开始出现季节性运动消失的异常现象.这两种现象同时出现是否表明地球物理场在大地震发生前可能出现异常？地震发生前半年时间出现的热异常条带是否与此次地震有关？这些问题有待进一步探索.  相似文献   

Strain accumulation along an oblique plate boundary: the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest Iceland     

M. Keiding  T. Árnadóttir  E. Sturkell  H. Geirsson  B. Lund 《Geophysical Journal International》2008,172(2):861-872

We use annual GPS observations on the Reykjanes Peninsula (RP) from 2000 to 2006 to generate maps of surface velocities and strain rates across the active plate boundary. We find that the surface deformation on the RP is consistent with oblique plate boundary motion on a regional scale, although considerable temporal and spatial strain rate variations are observed within the plate boundary zone. A small, but consistent increase in eastward velocity is observed at several stations on the southern part of the peninsula, compared to the 1993–1998 time period. The 2000–2006 velocities can be modelled by approximating the plate boundary as a series of vertical dislocations with left-lateral motion and opening. For the RP plate boundary we estimate left-lateral motion  18⁺⁴₋₃ mm yr⁻¹  and opening of  7⁺³₋₂ mm yr⁻¹  below a locking depth of  7⁺¹₋₂ km  . The resulting deep motion of  20⁺⁴₋₃ mm yr⁻¹  in the direction of  N(100⁺⁸₋₆)°E  agrees well with the predicted relative North America–Eurasia rate. We calculate the areal and shear strain rates using velocities from two periods: 1993–1998 and 2000–2006. The deep motion along the plate boundary results in left-lateral shear strain rates, which are perturbed by shallow deformation due to the 1994–1998 inflation and elevated seismicity in the Hengill–Hrómundartindur volcanic system, geothermal fluid extraction at the Svartsengi power plant, and possibly earthquake activity on the central part of the peninsula.  相似文献

低纬度环球带和环太平洋带大地震的幕式活动分析   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文

统计分析低纬度环球带(E带)和环太平洋带(P带)在1900～2008年间M_W≥7.5地震的时空分布,进一步证实两者本身和两者之间都存在15～18年的幕式交替活动. 将这两大地震带分别划分为5个地震区,发现这些分区地震幕式活动互不相同, 但E带各区奇数幕与偶数幕年均地震数之比OER均大于1.58, 而P带各区的OER均小于0.93, 显示出前者以奇数幕活跃为特征, 后者以偶数幕活跃为特征. 对这些地震区的组合分析进一步证明,从幕式活动的共性看, 中太平洋地区宜纳入E带. 本文推论:低纬度环球带是另一条全球尺度地震带;大地震幕式活动的成因应归因于板块运动有几十年时间尺度的非平稳幕式运动;未来5～8年, E带的大地震还会比P带多.  相似文献   

Global Plate Motions and Their Impact on the Earth's Surface Area Change     

Cao Shuai  Zhang Keliang  Wei Dongping 《中国地震研究》2010,24(3):344-352

Based on their Euler poles,we calculated the relative velocities between every two plates in the typical global plate motion models,respectively,and estimated the area change along these boundaries. In our calculations,plates on both sides accommodated area changes depending on the boundary types: extensional, convergent or transform, so we can estimate area change of each plate and then globally. Our preliminary results show that the area of the southern hemisphere increased while that of the northern hemisphere decreased over the past 1 million years,and global area has increased by 26,000km2 to 36,000km2,which corresponds to the 160m～250m increment on the Earth's radius if all these area increments are attributed to Earth's expansion. Taking the NUVEL-1 model as an example,of the 14 plates in this model,11 are decreasing,but the global area has increased because of the larger increment amount from Africa,North America and Antarctica. Finally,we also discussed factors affecting the global area change such as subduction zone retreating and back-arc spreading.  相似文献   

Permian High Ba-Sr Granitoids: Geochemistry, Age and Tectonic Implications of Erlangshan Pluton, Urad Zhongqi, Inner Mongolia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Abstract: Erlangshan Pluton from Urad Zhongqi, central Inner Mongolia, is located in the middle segment of the northern margin of the North China Plate. The rocks consist mainly of diorites with gneissic structure. Petrochemical characteristics reveal that the diorites belong to metaluminous, high-potassium calc-alkaline series, with chemical signatures of I-type granites. They are characterized by low SiO2 contents (56.63%–58.53%) and A/CNK (0.90–0.96), high Al2O3 contents (17.30%–17.96%) and Na2O/K2O ratios (1.20–1.70), enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE, e.g., Ba=556–915 ppm, Sr=463–595 ppm), and relative depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE, e.g., Nb, Ta, Ti) in primitive mantle-normalized spidergram, and right-declined rare earth element patterns with slightly negative Eu anomalies (d?Eu=0.72–0.90). They have Sr/Y ratios (20–25) evidently less than Kebu Pluton (49–75) to its east. Sensitive high resolution ion micro-probe U-Pb zircon dating of the diorites has yielded an intrusive age of 270±8?Ma. This leads us to conclude that Erlangshan diorites were formed by mixing between the middle or lower crustal-derived magma and minor mantle-derived mafic magma, followed by fractional crystallization, which was trigged by crustal extension and fault activity in post-collisional setting.  相似文献   

基于统计检验法研究Amurian板块相对独立性   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

Amurian 板块是Zonenshain等提出的提出的东北亚地区内部一个构造亚板块.Amurian板块自提出以来就一直受到地学界的广泛重视.它到底是欧亚大陆的一部分,还是独立于欧亚大陆之外的一个独立次级构造块体?这个问题一直是是东亚,乃至欧亚大陆构造动力学研究的核心问题之一.许多学者从地质和地球物理学两个角度研究了Amurian板块存在的可能性.但是复杂的构造特征和稀少且弥散的地震分布使得Amurian问题充满了争议.全球卫星定位系统(GPS)技术的不断进步使得在短时间获得高精度、大范围、准实时的地壳运动观测数据,并确定地壳运动速度场成为可能.本文利用东北亚地区最新GPS资料,从大地测量学角度对东北亚地区的地壳运动特征进行分析,基于统计检验方法重点研究Amurian板块相对欧亚大陆的独立性及其边界等问题.  相似文献
