The onset of extension during lithospheric shortening:a two-dimensional thermomechanical model for lithospheric unrooting   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

We model the evolution of the lithosphere during its shortening and consequent gravitational collapse with special emphasis on the induced variations in the surface stress regime and dynamic topography. In particular, we analyse the conditions leading, immediately after lithospheric failure, to local extension, eventually coeval with compression. Different crustal rheologies and kinematic conditions as well as thermally imposed mechanical rupture are considered. Numerical calculations have been performed by using a 2-D finite element code that couples the thermal and mechanical equations for a Newtonian rheology with a temperature-dependent viscosity. The results show that, after the failure of a gravitationally unstable lithospheric root, the replacement of lithospheric mantle by warmer asthenospheric material induces a considerable variation in the dynamic topography and in the surface stress regime. The occurrence of local extension, its intensity and its spatial distribution depend mainly on whether convergence continues throughout the process or ceases after or before the lithospheric failure. Similarly, uplift/subsidence and topographic inversion are controlled by kinematic conditions and crustal rheology. Mechanical rupture produces drastic changes in the surface stress regime and dynamic topography but only for a short time period, after which the system tends to evolve like a continuous model.  相似文献   

走滑断层震间形变GPS观测站点布设的合理性分析     

邹镇宇  江在森  武艳强  魏文薪  刘晓霞 《地震》2018,38(1):26-34

针对单条断层合理布设GPS站点可准确反映断层形变状态。 远场布设的有效距离与近场的布设间隔是影响断层运动分析结果的重要因素。 远场有效距离为变形宽度的边界, 其与断层闭锁深度之间的关系约为6.31倍; 近场间隔利用分段折线近似替代断层震间形变曲线, 根据形变曲线的变化特点将形变区域分区, 得到“近场区”和“过渡区”与断层闭锁深度之间的关系。 并且, 对川滇块体东边界目前站点布设状态对结果可能的影响进行初步分析。 研究结果可对今后GPS站点布设方案提供理论参考。  相似文献   

Geophysical evidence for thrusting of crustal materials from orogenic belts over both sides of the Yangtze Block and its geological significance     

Yingkang LI  Jianwei GAO  Jian HAN  Yu'e YANG 《中国科学:地球科学(英文版)》2019,(5):812-831

Based on deep geophysical detections, we have reconstructed the crustal structure from the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau to the Jiangnan-Xuefeng orogenic belt. The results suggest that the Yangtze Block was overthrusted by crustal materials in its NW direction from the eastern Tibetan Plateau but in its SE direction from the Jiangnan orogen. These overthrusting effects control the crustal structure from the western Sichuan to the western area of the Jiangnan orogen-Xuefeng orogenic belt. The eastward extruded materials from the eastern Tibetan Plateau were blocked by the rigid basement in the Sichuan Basin, where upper-middle crust was overthrusted whereas the lower crust was underthrusted beneath the Sichuan Basin. The underthrusted unit was absorbed by crustal folding, shortening and thickening in the Yangtze Block, forming the Xiongpo and Longquan Mountains tectonic belts and resulting in the NW-directed thrusting of the Pujiang-Chengdu-Deyang fault, and the western hillsiden fault in the Longquan Mountain. These results provide resolution to the controversy where the eastward extrusion material from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had gone. Overall, that Yangtze Block was subjected to thrusting of the crustal materials from the orogenic belts over its both sides. This finding has implications for the study of the intracontinental orogenic mechanism in South China, the reconstruction of tectonic evolutionary history and the kinematics processes during the lateral extrusion of the Tibet Plateau.  相似文献   

Triple oxygen isotope constraints on the origin of ocean island basalts     

Xiaobin Cao  Huiming Bao  Caihong Gao  Yun Liu  Fang Huang  Yongbo Peng  Yining Zhang 《Acta Geochimica》2019,(3):327-334

Understanding the origin of ocean island basalts(OIB) has important bearings on Earth's deep mantle.Although it is widely accepted that subducted oceanic crust, as a consequence of plate tectonics, contributes material to OIB's formation, its exact fraction in OIB's mantle source remains ambiguous largely due to uncertainties associated with existing geochemical proxies. Here we show, through theoretical calculation, that unlike many known proxies, triple oxygen isotope compositions(i.e.D^(17 )O) in olivine samples are not affected by crystallization and partial melting. This unique feature, therefore, allows olivine D^(17 )O values to identify subducted oceanic crusts in OIB's mantle source. Furthermore, the fractions of subducted ocean sediments and hydrothermally altered oceanic crust in OIB's mantle source can be quantified using their characteristic D^(17 )O values. Based on published D^(17 )O data, we estimated the fraction of subducted oceanic crust to be as high as 22.3% in certain OIB, but the affected region in the respective mantle plume is likely to be limited.  相似文献

为了解2013年11月23日吉林前郭M_S5.8和2018年5月28日吉林松原M_S5.7地震震源区的地壳速度结构及其孕震环境,本研究收集了东北地区CEA固定台站、NECESSArray流动台站和五大连池WAVESArrary流动台站的连续波形数据,使用背景噪声成像方法,获得了前郭地震和松原地震震源区地壳S波速度结构.结果显示,这两个地震主要发生在相对高波速异常区,而震源区下方存在明显低波速异常,且该低速层呈北北东走向,并有向北延展的趋势.结果表明,震源区相对高波速异常区易于积累能量孕育地震,而震源区下方的低波速异常可能代表了流体作用.这种流体作用会降低断层面有效正应力从而触发地震.这种流体作用可能和太平洋板块深俯冲至我国东北地区（包括前郭地震和松原地震震源区）下方的地幔转换内形成"大地幔楔"结构与动力学密切相关.在"大地幔楔"结构中,由于地幔转换带中滞留板块脱水作用和地幔角流作用,容易形成热湿物质上涌,进而导致松辽盆地中北部岩石圈物质拆沉、地幔流体入侵至中下地壳、然后作用于断裂带,从而导致了两个震源区中强度地震的发生.  相似文献   

The vP Velocity Structures of Sub-blocks in the North China Craton from Active Source Waveform Modeling and Tectonic Implications     

LIU Hanqi  TIAN Xiaofeng  LIU Baofeng  WANG Honglei 《中国地震研究》2019,33(2):276-287

We present the 1-D crustal velocity structure of the major tectonic blocks of the North China Craton(NCC) along 36°N based on synthetic seismogram modeling of long-range wide-angle reflection/refraction data. This profile extends from southwest Yan'an of central Shaanxi Province of China(109.47°E), across the southern Trans-North China Orogen(TNCO), the southwestern part of the North China Plain(NCP), the Luxi Uplift(LU) and the Sulu Orogen(SLO), ending at Qingdao City of Shandong Province, the eastern margin of China(120.12°E) along 36°N. We utilized reflectivity synthetic seismogram modeling of the active source data to develop 1-D velocity structures of the sub-blocks of the NCC. Our final model shows that the NCC crust varies remarkably among the tectonic units with different velocity structure features. Higher lower crustal velocity and Moho depth ～42 km is a major feature of the crust beneath southern Ordos Blockt. The TNCO which is composed of Lyuliangshan Mountains(LM), Shanxi Graben(SXG) and Taihangshan Mountains(TM) shows dominant trans-orogenic features. The NCP shows a dominant thickening of sediments, sharp crust thinning with Moho depth ～32 km and significant lower average velocity. The SLO and the LU shows a stratified crust, higher average velocity and crust thinning with Moho depth of ～35 km. Our model shows the coincidence between the deep structure and the surface geology among all the tectonic sub-blocks of the NCC.  相似文献

喜马拉雅构造带及其临近区域是印度板块与欧亚大陆板块挤压碰撞的前缘地带.本文利用GPS实测速度场与震源机制解数据分别计算了研究区域现今地壳岩石圈表面的GPS应变场及岩石圈内部的主应力分布,研究了印度板块持续挤压作用下板块边界带地壳岩石圈现今地壳形变的空间分布特征.结果显示,南北向的剧烈挤压变形与东西向的拉伸变形是现今青藏高原南缘地壳岩石圈的主要变形特征.其中南北向的地壳挤压变形主要集中在主前缘冲断带与雅鲁藏布江缝合带之间.东西方向上,南北走向的亚东—谷露断裂是区域地壳东西向伸展变形的重要分界断裂.75°E是研究区域地壳形变的另一条显著不连续边界,其西侧地壳主压应变强度低、方向弥散且最大主压应力方向一致性较差,而东侧地壳主压应变方向与主压应力方向以及地壳水平运动速度场方向均具有较好的一致性.布格重力异常的小波多尺度辨析结果显示该分界带与循喜马拉雅西构造结楔入欧亚大陆的印度板块密切相关.  相似文献

为加强海上天然地震观测和岩石圈结构研究,我们在南海西沙群岛建立了石岛流动地震台,进行了为期一年多的观测试验.观测结果表明,虽然岛礁区的地震数据受热带气旋影响期间背景噪声较大,但仍能记录到MW 6级以上的地震.本文对具有清晰P波波形的远震记录进行了接收函数处理和计算模拟,得到台站下简单的地壳结构模型,其莫霍面深度为28 km,上地壳顶部有一层2 km厚的低速层,横波速度只有23 km/s,向下逐渐过渡到横波速度为38 km/s的下地壳.与已有的研究结果比较,发现石岛台与琼中台的地壳结构模型是西沙海槽剖面的自然延伸,西沙地块的地壳结构属减薄型陆壳,可与华南地块的正常陆壳对比.  相似文献
