Analysis of spatial relationships among geomorphic,petrographic and structural characteristics of the dartmoor tors     

Judy Ehlen 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1992,17(1):53-67

The granite tors of Dartmoor are characterized by using the regional spatial patterns of 21 geomorphic, petrographic, and structural variables. The data were derived from topographic maps, field measurement, and laboratory analysis of rock samples collected in the field. Identification of spatial patterns and comparison of patterns between variables were made on contour maps generated from the data using ARC/INFO. Three tor types—summit tors, valleyside tors, and spur tors—are semiquantitatively characterized using these data and procedures. The three types of tors are distinguished with respect to variations in relative relief, joint spacing and joint type, rock texture, grain size, and composition. Summit tors have the highest relative relief (mean: 125·7 m), contain the most potassium feldspar (>30 per cent), and have the most widely-spaced primary vertical (>300 cm) and secondary horizontal joints (> 10 cm). The rocks are the most megacrystic (> 15 per cent) and the coarsest grained. Plagioclase is also abundant in summit tors. Valleyside tors have the lowest relative relief (mean: 72·9 m) and the most widely-spaced horizontal joints (primary, 60-200 cm; secondary, > 10 cm). Grain size, vertical joint spacing, and quartz and potassium feldspar abundances are intermediate. The shapes of valleyside tors are controlled by horizontal joints and the rocks are either very feebly magcrystic or equigranular in texture. Spur tors have intermediate relative relief (mean: 115·4 m), the narrowest joint spacing (vertical joints, < 200 cm, 50-75 cm; horizontal joints <60 cm, < 10 cm) and the finest grain. In addition, the rocks are feebly magacrystic.  相似文献   

丹霞地貌概念讨论   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

刘尚仁  刘瑞华 《山地学报》2003,21(6):669-674

关于丹霞地貌概念上的不同意见,主要是：①岩性岩相上是较单一的“陆相碎屑岩”还是涵盖多种岩性岩相的“沉积岩”;②地貌上是“丹崖”,还是“赤壁丹崖”,或是“赤壁丹崖群”。根据目前已知的中外丹霞地貌的基本特征,初步认为,丹霞地貌是由砂岩砾岩为主的沉积岩经侵蚀作用所形成的赤壁丹崖群地貌。近10a来,一些丹霞地貌概念,基本上属于“中国丹霞地貌”的概念,不完全符合世界丹霞地貌的实际情况。  相似文献

Geological Evolution of Longhushan World Geopark in Relation to Global Tectonics     

Timothy M Kusky  叶明和  王军鹏  王璐 《中国地质大学学报(英文版)》2010,(1)

The South China fold belt has experienced a complex series of tectonic events that span 1.0 billion years of earth history. Longhushan (龙虎山) World Geopark is located on the Proterozoic suture between the Yangtze craton and Cathyasia block and highlights the long history of this belt. Collision of the Cathyasia and Yangtze cratons 1.0 billion years ago was associated with the formation of the Rodinian supercontinent where most of the planet's landmasses were amalgamated into one block.

岩石物理化学性质对泰宁丹霞洞穴的形成制约     

邱小平 《福建地质》2014,(1):43-49

泰宁丹霞红层由铁钙质混合胶结的较松散固结红色砂砾岩构成,岩石胶结物中CaCO3含量较高,抗压强度极低、孔隙度和含水性均较高。当岩石遇水湿润或浸泡时,或者生物风化过程中受到各种动植物分泌的有机酸作用,岩石胶结物中CaCO3易溶解流失,促使丹霞红层进一步软弱松散。冬季水结冰之后体积会膨胀,所以岩层表面产生片状裂隙。通过裂隙的毛细管效应,孔隙-裂隙水由岩石内部向结冰的表面扩散,在表面张力作用下水呈表面积最小的球状。春季化冻时岩石沿球形片状裂隙自由剥落的片状风化,圆球形洞穴开始形成,随着四季交替,年复一年,间歇性结冰和融化过程,使得洞穴逐渐扩大,形成泰宁丹霞各种形态的洞穴奇观。  相似文献   

Palaeosurfaces in central West Greenland as reference for identification of tectonic movements and estimation of erosion   总被引：6，自引：2，他引：4  

Johan M. Bonow  Karna Lidmar-Bergstrm  Peter Japsen 《Global and Planetary Change》2006,50(3-4):161-183

Landform analysis of basement rocks has been undertaken with the aid of digital elevation data, aerial photographs and field observations in central West Greenland (69°15′N–66°00′N). Palaeosurfaces have been identified, dated relatively to each other, used to quantify uplift and fault movements and also used to estimate differential erosion. Two types of palaeosurfaces were mapped across the Precambrian basement: a surface at low elevation with distinct hills (hilly relief), and two planation surfaces formed across different types of basement rocks. The hilly relief surface emerges as an inclined surface from Cretaceous cover rocks in Disko Bugt and is interpreted as a stripped late Mesozoic etch surface. This surface is cut off towards the south by a less inclined planation surface, which is younger and thus of Cenozoic age. It is similar to the post-Eocene (Miocene?) planation surfaces identified on Disko and Nuussuaq in other studies. The planation surface splits in two southwards towards high areas around Nordre Isortoq and Sukkertoppen Ice Cap. The upper planation surface forms near-summit areas of tectonic blocks dipping in different directions and with different tilts. The uplift centres define the crests of two mega blocks, separated by the ‘Sisimiut Line’ which coincides with the Precambrian Ikertôq thrust zone. A partially developed lower planation surface indicates a first uplift of maximum 500 m followed by a second uplift of maximum 1000 m. We infer that these uplift events occurred during the late Neogene based on correlation with similar surfaces on Nuussuaq and the timing of exhumational events estimated from apatite fission track analyses of samples from a deep borehole on Nuussuaq (reported elsewhere). The difference between a reconstruction of the upper planation surface across the entire area and the present topography was used as an estimate of erosion of basement rock since the formation of the upper planation surface. The erosion is unevenly distributed and varies from almost none on the well-preserved planation surfaces to 800–1300 m along valleys, and even more in the fjords. Erosion is less within areas of gneiss in granulite facies, than in areas of gneiss in amphibolite facies.  相似文献

Key Groundwater Control Factors of Deep Buried Coalfield by Landform and Sedimentation in the Northern Ordos Basin     

Jian Yang  Ji Liu  Hao Huang  Xiangyang Liang 《地球科学进展》2019,34(5):523-530

There were three landforms (i.e. desert, bedrock platform and loess gully) in deep-buried coalfield of northern Ordos Basin. Water inflow of working face in desert area was 1~2 orders of magnitude larger than that in other landform areas. In order to find out the key controlling factors of the directly water filled aquifers on the roof of the coal seam, we carried out research from the aspects of topography, landform and geological sedimentation. The results showed that desert landform provides abundant recharge water for underlying aquifers because of gentle topography, large precipitation infiltration coefficient, thick and water-rich quaternary system. While bedrock platform and loess gully landform were the water sources with weak recharge capacity of underlying aquifers. The sandstone-mudstone interbedding structure formed by continental deposits resulted in the absence of regional stable aquifers in Jurassic and Cretaceous strata on the roof of coal seams. Pumping tests of boreholes showed that all strata belong to weak to medium water-rich aquifers. The groundwater level of Cretaceous aquifer decreased by 20~130 m in three mines. There was a close hydraulic relationship between shallow and deep aquifers. The Mesozoic strata belonged to fluvial deposits. Qilizhen sandstone and Zhenwudong sandstone aquifers were mainly developed on the roof of the coal seam, which were characterized by thick medium-coarse sandstone sections. The geological and sedimentary conditions of direct water-filled aquifer were similar, but the amount of borehole water, cumulative pre-drainage water and water inflow from goaf in desert geomorphic area were much larger than those in bedrock platform and loess gully geomorphic area. The water-rich of the aquifer was mainly controlled by geomorphology, and the water sources of the deep aquifers were meteoric precipitation and Quaternary aquifer. In different mines with similar Quaternary conditions in Mu Us Desert, there were also great differences in the amount of borehole water, cumulative pre-drainage water and water inflow from goafs. The difference was related to the thickness and lithology of the aquifers. It reflected that the geological sedimentary conditions of the coal seam roof were also important factors to control the water-rich of the aquifers. Topography, landform and geological sedimentation were the key factors to control the water-rich of the aquifer directly and the water inflow from the working face.  相似文献
