Abstract The Joggins Formation was deposited in the Cumberland Basin, which experienced rapid mid‐Carboniferous subsidence on bounding faults. A 600 m measured section of coastal and alluvial plain strata comprises cycles tens to hundreds of metres thick. The cycles commence with coal and fossiliferous limestone/siltstone intervals, interpreted as widespread flooding events. These intervals are overlain by coarsening‐upward successions capped by planar‐based sandstone mounds, up to 100 m in width that represent the progradation of small, river‐generated delta lobes into a standing body of open water developed during transgression. The overlying strata contain sand‐rich heterolithic packages, 1–8 m thick, that are associated with channel bodies 2–3 m thick and 10–50 m wide. Drifted plant debris, Calamites groves and erect lycopsid trees are preserved within these predominantly green‐grey heterolithic sediments, which were deposited on a coastal wetland or deltaic plain traversed by channel systems. The cycles conclude with red siltstones, containing calcareous nodules, that are interbedded with thin sandstones and associated with both single‐storey channel bodies (1–1·5 m thick and 2–3 m wide) and larger, multistorey channels (3–6 m thick) with incised margins. Numerous channel bodies at the same level suggest that multiple‐channel, anastomosed river systems were developed on a well‐drained floodplain. Many minor flooding surfaces divide the strata into parasequences with dominantly progradational and aggradational stacking patterns. Multistorey channel bodies are relatively thin, fine grained and modestly incised, and palaeosols are immature and cumulative. The abundance and prominence of flooding surfaces suggests that base‐level rise was enhanced, whereas the lack of evidence for abrupt basinward stepping of facies belts, coupled with the absence of strong fluvial incision and mature palaeosols, suggests that base‐level fall was suppressed. These architectural features are considered to reflect a tectonic architectural signature, in accordance with the high‐subsidence basinal setting. Evidence for restricted marine influence and variation in floral assemblages suggests modulation by eustatic and climatic effects, although their relative importance is uncertain.  相似文献   

青海省区域地震活动的自然节律     

朱丽霞  张晓梅 《高原地震》1997,(3)

通过对青海省区域地震活动序列的分析，发现一定强度的地震活动序列存在着内在的、有序可数的“自然节律”。并从逾渗模型的角度对这一现象做了初步解释。认为：中强地震的自然节律可能在一定程度上体现了非平衡条件下地震活动的抗混性。  相似文献

唐山地震的超晚期强余震估计   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

戴英华  李淑莲 《华北地震科学》1997,15(4):1-9

根据华北历史地震的重复性和免疫性，认为在唐山周围８５ｋｍ，２００年内，对６级地震具有一定的免疫性；在研究了唐山地震序列自身的衰减规律后，认为在今后几十几强余震的最大活动水平为５级，发生６级以上土地震的可能性很小。  相似文献

对发生在华北地区３１个Ｍ≥５地震震前区域地震活动的时间序列进行的研究得出：（１）华北地区发生Ｍ≥５地震前，区域地震活动的短期平静现象与大震发生的相关性很强。３１个Ｍ≥５地震前的平静时间主要集中在２０～８７ｄ，１２０～２１０ｄ和大于２１０ｄ。同时还得出大震前的短期平静时间与震级大小无关的结论；（２）区域地震活动在短时间内出现增强趋势，与发生大震的相关性很弱，相关的仅占总数的６．４％  相似文献

湘鄂赣二叠纪沉积盆地是在统一的陆愉－－华南陆块基础上发展而来的，根据晚古生代以来的地壳活动情况、沉积物充填序列、沉积相带及空间配置，该区可以划分为四种沉积盆地，即扬子克拉通盆地、扬子克拉通缘被动大陆边缘盆地、湘赣板内拉张盆地和华夏克拉能边缘盆地。由于没沉积盆地中层序发展的主控因素及上关效应的差异，从而决定了层序发育特点的差异，本文详细划分了各种沉积层序和沉积体系域，并进行了区域对比。在此基础上，探  相似文献

Analysis of DNAPL infiltration in a medium with a low-permeable lens     

M.J. de Neef  J. Molenaar 《Computational Geosciences》1997,1(2):191-214

In this paper we study the infiltration of DNAPL in a porous medium containing a single low-permeable lens. Our aim is to determine whether or not DNAPL infiltrates into the lens. A key role is played by the capillary pressure: DNAPL cannot infiltrate into the lens unless the capillary pressure exceeds the entry pressure of the lens. In the model this is reflected by an interface condition, the extended capillary pressure condition. To derive analytical approximations we first consider a steady-state DNAPL plume in a homogeneous medium. This results in an estimate of the DNAPL plume width as a function of depth, and an asymptotic solution for small saturations. Assuming that the extent of the lens is much larger than the width of the unperturbed DNAPL plume in the homogeneous medium, we derive an explicit criterion for DNAPL infiltration into the lens in terms of a critical inflow rate. A numerical algorithm is presented in which the extended capillary pressure condition is incorporated. The numerical and analytical results show good qualitative agreement.
