Upper-mantle structure of the Baltic Shield below the Swedish National Seismological Network (SNSN) resolved by teleseismic tomography     

Tuna Eken  Z. Hossein Shomali  Roland Roberts  Reynir Bödvarsson 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,169(2):617-630

Upper-mantle structure under the Baltic Shield is studied using non-linear high resolution teleseismic P -phase tomography. Observed relative arrival-time residuals from 52 teleseismic earthquakes recorded by the Swedish National Seismological Network (SNSN) are inverted to delineate the structure of the upper mantle. The network consists of 47 (currently working) three-component broad-band stations located in an area about 450 km wide and 1450 km long. In order to reduce complications due to possible significant three-dimensionality of Earth structure, events chosen for this study lay close to in-line with the long-axis of the array  (±30°)  . Results indicate P -wave velocity perturbations of ±3 per cent down to at least 470 km below the network. The size of the array allows inversion for structures even at greater depths, and lateral variations of velocity at depths of up to 680 km appear to be resolved. Below the central part of the array (60°–64° N), where ray coverage is best, the data reveals a large region of relatively low velocity at depths of over about 300 km. At depths less than about 250–300 km, the models include a number of features, including an apparent slab-like structure dipping gently towards the north.  相似文献   

岩石层流变学的研究现状及存在问题   总被引：3，自引：5，他引：3  

李昶  臧绍先 《地球物理学进展》2001,16(2):99-108

岩石层的流变学是一门综合性的学科，它不仅包括高温高压岩力学实验，而且还包括岩石圈的地质构造，物质组成和温度场特性的研究，70年代以来岩石力学实验和地质热研究的成果推动了岩石层流变学的发展，目前，人们应用已有的实验结果建立了岩石层流变学的剖面，并以此为基础讨论了许多大地构造现象，但是，人们对流变机制的转换，水对岩石层流变性的影响等问题尚不清楚，因此，为了深入的了解岩石层流变性质在岩石层运动学和动力学中的应用，必须开展岩石层流变机制的理论和实验研究，以便建立流变性质的三维分布，本文主要分析了岩石层的流变性质随深度变化的研究结果及其在实际中的应用，讨论了确定岩石层粘度或流变强度的主要因素并对岩石层的流变学研究方向提供了一些看法。  相似文献

亚洲中东部岩石圈塑性流动网络与构造应力场   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

:板块边缘驱动作用主要通过岩石圈下层的网络状塑性流动实现其向板内的远程传递 ,并控制上层的构造变形。相应地造成构造应力场的的多层分布格局 ,主要包括下层 (含下地壳和岩石圈地幔 )、多震层 (属于上部地壳 )和浅层 (浅表地壳 )应力场。这些层中最大压应力方向可分别采用塑性流动网络共轭角平分线、震源机制解和井孔应力测量等方法加以确定。根据对亚洲中—东部下层与多震层应力场的对比表明 ,大部分地区二者的应力方向基本一致 ,表明了下层对上层的控制 ,这对了解板内应力场的一般趋势与格架提供了基础。靠近驱动边界的局部地段 ,由于上部地壳直接的传递作用 ,往往导致上、下层应力方向的显著偏差 ,有可能成为进一步了解深浅层联系和差异的一种方法  相似文献

Emplacement at granulite facies conditions of the Sesia–Lanzo metagabbros: an early record of Permian rifting?     

Gisella Rebay  Maria Iole Spalla 《Lithos》2001,58(3-4):85-104

The evolution of the pre-Alpine Corio and Monastero metagabbros points to strong chemical and mineralogical similarities with that of other Permian gabbro bodies of the Alps, which are concentrated in the Southalpine and Austroalpine domains. The structural and metamorphic pre-Alpine evolution of these gabbros records a re-equilibration following the emplacement in the deep crust (P=0.6–0.9 GPa and T=850±70 °C), exhumation through amphibolite facies conditions (P=0.5–0.35 GPa and T=570–670 °C), followed by a greenschist facies imprint (0.25≤P≤0.35 GPa and T<550 °C). This retrograde P–T evolution suggests that the exhumation occurred in a high thermal gradient regime, such as that induced by upwelling of an asthenospheric plume during continental rifting. This would be consistent with the crustal thinning known to have occurred in both the Southalpine and Austroalpine domains during Permian times. The gabbros and their country acid granulites are spatially associated with the serpentinised subcontinental mantle of the Lanzo Massif. This lithologic association and the metamorphic evolution is similar to that of the Fedoz gabbro (Austroalpine Domain of the Central Alps) and completely different from that observed in passive margins, where no remnants of the lower crust occur and the upper granitic crust directly overlies the serpentinized lherzolites. The location of Permian gabbro bodies in the Austroalpine and Southalpine domains and their absence in the Helvetic domain is evidence for asymmetric rifting.  相似文献   

Seismic anisotropy beneath Tibet: evidence for eastward extrusion of the Tibetan lithosphere?   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

J. Lav    J.P. Avouac  R. Lacassin  P. Tapponnier  J.P. Montagner 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1996,140(1-4):83-96

Strong seismic anisotropy beneath Tibet has recently been reported from the study of SKS shear wave splitting. The fast split waves are generally polarized in an easterly direction, close to the present day direction of motion of the Tibetan crust relative to stable Eurasia, as deduced from Holocene slip rates on the major active faults in and around Tibet. This correlation may be taken to suggest that the whole Tibetan lithosphere is being extruded in front of indenting India and that the anisotropic layer is the deforming asthenosphere, that accommodates the motion of the Tibetan lithosphere relative to the fixed mantle at depth. Uncertainties about this motion are at present too large to bring unambiguous support to that view. Assuming that this view is correct however, a simple forward model is used to compute theoretical delay times as a function of the thickness of the anisotropic layer. The observed delay times would require a 50–100 km thick anisotropic layer beneath south-central Tibet and an over 200 km thick layer beneath north-central Tibet, where particularly hot asthenosphere has been inferred. This study suggests that the asthenospheric anisotropy due to present absolute block motion might be dominant under actively deforming continents.  相似文献   

Faulting in zones of lithospheric extension: Quantitative analysis of natural and experimental data   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S. I. Sherman 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1996,146(3-4):421-446

Quantitative relationships between major fault parameters from geological observations and laboratory experiments are compared. Relationships are established between fault length, number, depth of fault penetration, amplitude of displacement and other characteristics. The width of destruction zones is estimated. Spacing between parallel faults of compatible length is evaluated. It is shown that there is a stable correlation between fault length and number, which is independent from the mode of loading the material under destruction. Destruction of the lithosphere is believed to occur according to the laws of deformation of Maxwell elasto-viscous body.  相似文献
