In order to better understand the tectonic evolution of the Qaidam Basin. The authors carried out a paleomagnetic study on 39 samples of 7 sites from Hongsanhan section, northwest Qaidam Basin. Stepwise thermo-demagnetization isolated a high-temperature component (HTC), which passes the fold and reversal tests at 95% confidence level. It suggests that the HTC should be primary. Unblocking temperature (about 685℃) and the experiment of isothermal remanence indicate that hematite is the mainly carrier of the remanence. A tilt-corrected mean direction is: Ds=7.1°, Is=38.5°, α95=7.4°. Corresponding to a palaeopole at, φ＝250.1°E, λ＝72.0°N, A95=6.8°, Compared with the reference APWP of Eurasia, the sampling area occurred a non-significant rotation (3.4°±5.5°) relative to Eurasia since Eocene due to the affect of left-lateral Altyn fault, Based on the paleomagnetic results of early Cretaceous and Teritary within the Qaidam block, we can obtained the mean clockwise rotations from the samples deposited from 160 Ma to 45 Ma is 24.5°±9.0°, and from 38 Ma to present is -0.5°±7.5° relative to present geomagnetism respectively. During the Mid Eocene (45～38 Ma) rotation phase, there should existing an important early tectonic event in northern part of the present-day Tibetan Plateau, which probably represents one of large-scale strike-slip events of the Altyn strike-slip fault.  相似文献

南海西缘断裂带,北端始于17°30'N附近的海南岛南部,往南延伸止于北西走向的卢帕尔断裂,南北延伸长度约达1 600 km,十分壮观(见图1)。该断裂带除了其名称和延伸长度在不同研究者的文章中各有所不同[1—4]之外,其名称和作用至少在20世纪80年代初已得到广泛的应用,早已成习惯,如在《亚洲地质》[5]一书和杨树康等[1]、陈国达[4]等许多著名科学家的论著中不断地得到了应用。该断裂带的构造地位和作用得到地学界的普遍重视,到目前为止地学界基本上认为它就是印支亚板块与南海亚板块之间的区域性边界断裂。  相似文献

在昆仑山南部西大滩与东大滩谷地,沿西大滩活动断裂发育大量串珠状斜列分布的地震鼓包,与不同类型的地震破裂、地震楔、地震陡坎和地震凹陷伴生,在探槽剖面表现为全新世砂土层和晚更新世砾石层的背斜褶皱变形;地震鼓包长轴走向290°~300°,与西大滩活动断裂呈10°~20°交角,锐角指示西大滩断裂左旋走滑运动方向。对探槽剖面不同层位的沉积物、断层破碎带和地震崩积楔分别取样,进行热释光和光释光测年,发现西大滩断裂的地震鼓包主要形成于全新世早期,对应于10.2ka BP、8.6~8.7ka BP、7.0ka BP、6.10ka BP4期古地震事件。估算西大滩断裂全新世早期强烈地震的复发周期为0.9~1.7ka,断裂左旋走滑速率为5.3~10.0mm/a,平均约7.7mm/a。全新世晚期西大滩断裂的构造活动性显著减弱,强烈地震向南迁移至库赛湖断裂。  相似文献
