The influence of stress history on the grain size and microstructure of experimentally deformed quartzite     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2016

Deformation of middle crustal shear zones likely varies with time as a result of the stress build-up and release associated with earthquakes and post-seismic deformation, but the processes involved and their microstructural signature in the rock record are poorly understood. We conducted a series of experiments on quartzite at 900 °C to characterize microstructures associated with changes in stress and strain rate, and to investigate the feasibility of carrying out grain size piezometry in natural rocks that experienced analogous changes. Differential stress (referred to simply as “stress”) was varied in two-stage experiments by changing strain rate and by stopping the motor and allowing stress to relax. The two-stage samples preserve a microstructural record that can be interpreted quantitatively in terms of stress history. The microstructure associated with a stress increase is a bimodal distribution of recrystallized grain sizes. The smaller grains associated with the second deformation stage accurately record the stress of the second stage, and the surviving coarse grains remain similar in size to those formed during the earlier stage. The transient microstructure associated with stress decrease is a “partial foam” texture containing a larger concentration of stable 120° triple junctions than occur in samples deformed at a relatively constant strain rate. Our results indicate that microstructures preserved in rocks that experienced relatively simple, two-stage deformation histories can be used to quantitatively assess stress histories.Grain growth rates during deformation are similar to rates observed in previous isostatic growth experiments, supporting theoretical approaches to recrystallized grain size, such as the wattmeter theory (Austin and Evans, 2007), that incorporate static growth rates. From an analysis of the experimental data for quartz recrystallized grain size, we find: 1) Recrystallized grain size quickly reaches a value consistent with ambient deformation conditions. We argue that this explains a good match between average grain sizes predicted by the wattmeter after complete recrystallization and the recrystallized grain sizes of the experiments. 2) The present formulation of the wattmeter overestimates the rates at which porphyroclasts recrystallize by as much as an order of magnitude, and 3) owing to problems with extrapolation of grain growth data for quartz, the wattmeter is not presently applicable to natural samples deformed at low temperatures. We present a simplified flow law for quartz, and suggest that the change in slope of the quartz piezometer at high stress (regime 1) is related to a switch to a linear viscous rheology.  相似文献

基于盆内及其周缘钻孔取芯和露头剖面资料,结合区域背景和龙王庙组地层充填厚度分析认为,四川盆地周缘龙王庙期北邻摩天岭微古陆和汉南古陆、西接康滇古陆,东南和东北分别为威信-黔江、石阡-秀山-龙山和镇巴-巫溪-巴东水下古隆起环抱;盆内呈近北东向展布的川中古隆起和阆中-通江坳陷、江津-奉节坳陷构成“一隆两坳”,南部泸州-筠连-昭通继承性坳陷依然存在;盆地及周缘向东北隅和东南隅分别接入秦岭洋和江南盆地。受此影响,龙王庙期发育连陆碳酸盐岩台地-斜坡-盆地沉积体系,连陆碳酸盐岩台地构成沉积主体,可识别出混积潮坪、局限-蒸发台地、半局限-局限台地和台地边缘沉积相类型;进一步通过碎屑岩含量与陆源方向、石灰岩、白云岩和膏盐岩含量与海域局限性和台地边缘相对位置、颗粒岩含量等分析,阐明了龙王庙期岩相古地理展布样式并建立了沉积模式。结果表明潮坪向海侧、水下古隆起、泸州-筠连-昭通坳陷周缘是颗粒滩有利发育区,乐山和资阳地区经由早寒武世早期的充填拼合作用已形成统一古隆起,震旦纪末期-早寒武世的南北向桐梓-筠连裂陷槽演变为泸州-筠连-昭通台内坳陷,研究成果对拓宽龙王庙组滩控岩溶型储层的勘探领域具有重要的指导作用。  相似文献

On the basis of measuring the magnetic parameters of sediment in Core YDZ1, combined with a grain size analysis and Carbon-14 dating, the magnetic properties of sediment and sedimentary environment in the Huanghe(Yellow River) Delta area after the last glacial maximum have been studied. The results show that the ferrimagnetic minerals of a pseudo single domain and multi domain particles dominate the magnetic properties of sediment in Core YDZ1. The imperfect anti ferrimagnetic minerals have more contribution on sediment in a depth of 24.0–22.1 m, and more stable-single domain and pseudo single domain particles exist. The susceptibility of anhysteretic remanent magnetization and the ratio of the susceptibility of anhysteretic remanent magnetization to saturation isothermal remanent magnetization show a decrease trend below depth of 24 m, a marked increase trend in a depth of 24.0–13.5 m, and a rapid decrease at depth of 13.5 m, then a fluctuation trend upward. The above two magnetic parameters and the ratio of the susceptibility of anhysteretic remanent magnetization to the mass susceptibility can be regarded as the proxy indicators for the content of clay(4 μm)and the fine-grained size(32 μm). The sedimentary environment after the last glacial maximum in the Huanghe Delta area has experienced the fluvial facies, the tidal flat facies, the neritic facies, the pro delta facies, the delta front facies and the floodplain facies. Thickness of the Holocene transgression layer is 10.5 m and the depth of substrate is about 24 m according to the YDZ1 core. The sedimentary dynamic has a variation trend with strongweak-strong, which has been proved by the Flemming triangular schema.  相似文献

周在明  杨燕明  陈本清 《海洋科学》2016,40(10):82-90

为了进一步了解海岛岬湾海岸表层沉积物粒度的时空分布特征和形成机制,作者以福建东山岛乌礁湾为典型研究区,通过秋、春、夏3个不同季节海滩表层沉积物的采集和点位测量,综合应用激光法和筛析法进行粒度测定。结果表明,东山乌礁湾海滩表层沉积物以0.16～0.50 mm之间的中、细砂为主,并含有少量的粗砂和细砾,这与区域砂质沉积背景有关;湾内从南到北剖面沉积物粒径由粗砂到细砂逐渐变细,主要受剖面地形、局地物源、季节性风浪作用和近岸往复水动力的影响。时间变化上,各取样站位表现出沉积物粒径粗、细不同程度的多种变化趋势,以秋季为参考,整体上表现为由南到北粒级的变小、增大和稳定,这与东北、南南西季风影响下的浪、潮作用以及沿岸流系格局变化下的水动力环境有关。  相似文献

Mapping cropland fallow areas in myanmar to scale up sustainable intensification of pulse crops in the farming system     

Murali Krishna Gumma  Prasad S Thenkabail  Kumara Charyulu Deevi  Irshad A Mohammed  Pardhasaradhi Teluguntla  Adam Oliphant 《地理信息系统科学与遥感》2018,55(6):926-949

Cropland fallows are the next best-bet for intensification and extensification, leading to increased food production and adding to the nutritional basket. The agronomical suitability of these lands can decide the extent of usage of these lands. Myanmar’s agricultural land (over 13.8 Mha) has the potential to expand by another 50% into additional fallow areas. These areas may be used to grow short-duration pulses, which are economically important and nutritionally rich, and constitute the diets of millions of people as well as provide an important source of livestock feed throughout Asia. Intensifying rice fallows will not only improve the productivity of the land but also increase the income of the smallholder farmers. The enhanced cultivation of pulses will help improve nutritional security in Myanmar and also help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental degradation. The objectives of this study was to use remote sensing methods to identify croplands in Myanmar and cropland fallow areas in two important agro-ecological regions, delta and coastal region and the dry zone. The study used moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250-m, 16-day normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) maximum value composite (MVC), and land surface water index (LSWI) for one 1 year (1 June 2012–31 May 2013) along with seasonal field-plot level information and spectral matching techniques to derive croplands versus cropland fallows for each of the three seasons: the monsoon period between June and October; winter period between November and February; and summer period between March and May. The study showed that Myanmar had total net cropland area (TNCA) of 13.8 Mha. Cropland fallows during the monsoon season account for a meagre 2.4% of TNCA. However, in the winter season, 56.5% of TNCA (or 7.8 Mha) were classified as cropland fallows and during the summer season, 82.7% of TNCA (11.4 Mha) were cropland fallows. The producer’s accuracy of the cropland fallow class varied between 92 and 98% (errors of omission of 2 to 8%) and user’s accuracy varied between 82 and 92% (errors of commission of 8 to 18%) for winter and summer, respectively. Overall, the study estimated 19.2 Mha cropland fallows from the two major seasons (winter and summer). Out of this, 10.08 Mha has sufficient moisture (either from rainfall or stored soil water content) to grow short-season pulse crops. This potential with an estimated income of US$ 300 per hectare, if exploited sustainably, is estimated to bring an additional net income of about US$ 1.5 billion to Myanmar per year if at least half (5.04 Mha) of the total cropland fallows (10.08 Mha) is covered with short season pulses.  相似文献   

川中地区中二叠统栖霞组滩控岩溶型白云岩储层特征及主控因素   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

四川盆地中部地区栖霞组的白云岩是该区主要储层,储层成因的主流观点是热液白云岩化。目前勘探实践发现,优质储渗体形成与早期相控岩溶作用有关。通过取芯及测录井资料进行了详细分析,研究结果表明,该类白云岩储层主要位于栖霞组中上部颗粒滩发育的地层中,按其宏微观产出状态可分为溶斑状云岩、溶洞充填云岩、针孔状基质云岩和致密基质云岩。储集岩物性以溶洞充填云岩最佳,储层类型属裂缝—孔洞型储层。进一步分析显示:研究区栖霞组滩相地层沉积后随即经历了一定时间的整体抬升暴露,期间接受早成岩期岩溶作用,形成了具相控特征的岩溶系统,早期淡水岩溶作用是优质孔洞型储层形成的关键。在中二叠沉积期后不久的东吴运动高峰期,热液流体上涌将岩溶系统及其部分围岩交代为白云岩。由于岩溶系统内部保留了较多的残余自由空间,经热液白云岩化调整后形成的白云石更为自形,且保存了较多的晶间孔隙。而相比之下,岩溶系统基岩已在早期埋藏中趋于致密,云化后形成的云岩物性较差。仅有部分颗粒岩仍然保留了一定的原始孔隙,云化后针孔较为发育。栖霞组白云岩储层具有相控性,规模性和继承性三大发育特点。提出优质储层分布受控于岩溶系统,为区内栖霞组白云岩储层成因提供了新的思路,对该区储层分布预测及进一步的勘探部署也具一定指导意义。  相似文献

连续消光是指在正交偏光显微镜下,岩石薄片随载物台旋转而发生消光强弱连续变化的现象。作为人工鉴定岩石薄片的重要依据,提取后的连续消光特征可以用于实现岩石薄片的自动分析。结合数字图像处理技术与聚类划分算法,开发出一套能够分割出孔隙、颗粒轮廓,实现颗粒类别划分,并对结果做定量分析的岩石薄片分析系统。从矿物的消光特征本质出发,连续消光特征提取精确与否是能否有效划分颗粒类别的关键环节。因此,针对系统在连续消光特征提取过程中的消光位对齐与消光基值去除操作分别设置了对照组。以鄂尔多斯盆地某区长6段砂岩薄片在正交偏光镜下的角度域序列图像进行实验,结果表明,所开发的基于岩石薄片分析系统能够提取到更为精确的连续消光特征,且该系统定量分析结果与专业人员鉴定结果基本一致。  相似文献
