Earthquake Swarms and Accompanying Phenomena in Intraplate Regions: A Review     

Špičák  Aleš 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》2000,44(2):89-106

The western part of the Bohemian Massif has played an exceptional role in recent geodynamic activity of the region. It is characterised by repeated occurrences of earthquake swarms and by other manifestations of deep tectonic processes (CO ₂ emissions, anomalous ³ He content, mineral waters, mofettes, etc.). The purpose of this paper is to introduce some other intraplate regions with earthquake swarm occurrence (French Massif Central; Colli Albani and Vulsini Mts., central Italy; Southern Apennines, Italy; the Danville and Long Valley regions, California; central Arkansas), and with artificially induced earthquake swarms (Larderello, Italy, geothermal field; Coso, California, geothermal field; NE Bavaria, Germany, deep drilling project). Although these areas represent different tectonic environments, the manifestations of recent geodynamic and/or man-made activity are similar in many aspects. This coincidence most probably issues from a common cause of both tectonic and artificially induced earthquake swarms – intrusions/injections of fluids. Since the regions with earthquake swarm occurrence of tectonic origin are situated as a rule in the close neighbourhood of Quaternary volcanoes, the intruding fluids seem to be derived from magma recently transported to upper crustal layers.  相似文献

尹力峰  谭明  吴兰昊  高杰  张勇 《内陆地震》2006,20(3):219-225

介绍了油罐区砖砌防火堤的抗震验算基本原理和方法,并按照验算方法实现其通用化计算。防火堤主要受到4种荷载作用,即自重惯性力及其引起的弯矩、堤内静液压力及其引起的弯矩、堤内动液压力及其引起的弯矩、自重引起的垂直力。按不同烈度要求计算得到4种荷载作用校核堤的截面抗力和地基强度。通过两个算例检验该方法在抗震鉴定中的应用。两个防火堤典型断面的截面强度、抗滑动及抗倾覆稳定性、地基强度验算结果分别符合抗震设防7度和8度要求。防火堤作为备用体系,其抗震验算程序的通用性具有实用意义。  相似文献   

A 1.78 Ga large igneous province in the North China craton: The Xiong'er Volcanic Province and the North China dyke swarm

The 1.78 Ga Xiong'er Volcanic Province (XVP) and coeval North China giant mafic Dyke Swarm (NCDS) are the most important magmatic events occurring after the amalgamation of the North China craton (NCC). The XVP consists of 3–7 km of extrusive volcanics and some feeder dykes/sills located along the southern margin of the NCC and extending over an area > 0.06 M km². Compositions vary from basalt to rhyolite, but are predominantly intermediate in terms of silica content. There are also minor sedimentary intercalations and pyroclastic units. The sedimentary interlayers indicate an environment changing from continental-facies to oceanic-facies up-section. The XVP is characterized by fractional crystallization from an EM I type mantle source, and both continental arc (Andean-type) and rift environments have been proposed. The NCDS is widespread in the central NCC with an outcrop area > 0.1 M km², and are exposed at variable depths up to 20 km (deepest in the north). Dyke compositions vary from basalt to andesite and dacite, but are dominantly mafic, and comprise two series of magmatism. Previous studies revealed that the NCDS recorded assimilation and fractional crystallization of an EM I type magma source, with a minor DM contribution in the younger magmas. Both syn-collisional and intra-continental anorogenic environments have been proposed. Spatial and petrogenic correlations suggest a cogenetic relationship between the NCDS and XVP, and considered together, they define a Large Igneous Province (LIP) of > 0.1 M km² in area and > 0.1 M km³ in volume, which is also notable for its continuous compositional range from mafic to felsic (with no gap at intermediate compositions). The petrology is explained by a common magma source that undergoes a silica-poor and iron-enriched fractionation trend at depth followed by a silica-rich and iron-poor fractionation trend in shallow-level magma conduits (dykes) and surface lavas. A mantle plume is favored as the cause of this  1.78 Ga North China LIP.  相似文献   

Earthquake swarms in continental rifts — A comparison of selected cases in America, Africa and Europe     

M. Ibs-von Seht  T. Plenefisch  K. Klinge 《Tectonophysics》2008,452(1-4):66-77

The occurrence of earthquake swarms is typically related to magmatic activity in volcanoes, yet swarms are also common in other intracontinental regions such as continental rifts. We present here a summary of geophysical observations that have been made in earthquake swarm areas of the Rio Grande, Kenya, and Eger rifts, focusing on characteristic parameters for the origin and generation of the swarm earthquakes.Our compilation of seismological parameters such as spatial distribution and focal parameters of hypocenters, magnitude statistics, and the location of the swarm centres in the rift environments reveals major similarities. The earthquake swarms take place at shallow depth between 0 and 10 km. The maximum magnitudes are mostly less than 4.5. The b-values, indicating the magnitude frequency relation of the seismicity, are about 0.8. They are hence not deviating from a normal non-volcanic intraplate environment, but are considerably lower than those of volcanic earthquake swarms. Focal mechanism studies give uniform pictures of stress field orientation and faulting style for the swarm areas. In all three rifts, the centres of swarm activity seem to be restricted to rift valley sections that may be influenced by large-scale fracture or shear zones that intersect the rifts. We conclude that these deep-reaching zones of weakness allow intrusions of upper mantle material into crustal layers, where magma-related fluids or fluctuations of the magma bodies themselves cause the generation of earthquake swarms.  相似文献

氧化还原障在热液铀矿成矿中的作用   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

铀是变价元素,氧化还原条件控制铀的迁移和沉淀。铀在氧化环境中呈U~(6+)形式存在,在还原条件下则以U~(4+)形式存在。氧化态六价铀主要以可溶的碳酸铀酰/氟化铀酰络合物形式在水溶液中迁移,还原态四价铀主要以沥青铀矿和铀石等形式富集沉淀成矿。热液铀矿的形成需要一对空间上密切共生的氧化障/氧化剂和还原障/还原剂,二者缺一不可。首先,氧化障中氧化剂将富铀岩石中的铀大量氧化形成U~(6+),溶解进入水溶液迁移;第二,高氧化性富铀溶液遇到还原障,U~(6+)还原成U~(4+)沉淀下来,富集形成铀矿。前人虽然对铀的地球化学性质及氧化还原反应在铀成矿中作用已比较了解,但如何在实际铀矿成矿系统中准确识别氧化还原障,有效利用氧化还原障的控矿机理指导找矿,还存在一些模糊认识,制约了铀成矿理论的发展和找矿方法的提升。本文以我国最重要的砂岩型铀矿、火山岩型铀矿、花岗岩型铀矿和变质型铀矿为例,总结了与铀矿化有关的氧化还原障的主要类型,探讨了红层等蒸发盐地层(氧化障),有机质、煌斑岩等中基性岩脉(还原障)与铀矿之间的关系及控矿机制,揭示了成矿盆地中铀-煤、铀-气(油)共生的机制,阐明了翁泉沟硼、铁、铀矿共生原因,建立了不同类型铀矿成矿模型。  相似文献   

缅甸中部抹谷早白垩世构造岩浆作用及对特提斯演化的启示     

陈希节  许志琴  Kyaing Sein  孟元库  蔡志慧 《地质学报》2016,90(11):3060-3080

本文系统报道了缅甸抹谷变质带中部Yinmabin花岗闪长岩体及其基性岩墙的主量元素、微量元素及锆石U-Pb年龄和Lu-Hf同位素组成,重点讨论了花岗闪长岩和基性岩墙的岩石成因、物质来源及其地质意义。抹谷Yinmabin花岗闪长岩体主量元素显示富钠(N2O/K2O=1.5~1.75)、准铝(ACNK=0.94~0.97)和钙碱性岩石系列的地球化学特征。样品富集轻稀土(LREE)元素、大离子亲石元素(LILE),相对亏损高场强元素(HFSE)。岩体的主、微量元素地球化学特征均显示其具有活动陆缘I型花岗岩的地球化学属性。抹谷Yinmabin花岗闪长岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为131~135 Ma,其εHf(t)值在-15.66~-2.99之间,平均值为-8.77,单阶段模式年龄(tDM)为795~1569 Ma;而后期侵位的辉绿岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为120~118 Ma,其εHf(t)值在-13.72~+5.82之间,平均值为-2.72,单阶段模式年龄(tDM)为570~1341 Ma,表明这些岩石可能主要来源于古老下地壳部分熔融但同时也受到地幔物质的加入混染。与滇西以及北拉萨岩浆带的Lu-Hf同位素特征十分相近,暗示抹谷-毛淡棉地块早白垩世岩浆岩带与波密-察隅-高黎贡-拉萨岩浆岩带形成环境相似,可能是腾冲岩浆岩带向南延伸的一部分。结合岩石成因、源区性质和区域构造演化,认为抹谷花岗闪长岩体及基性岩墙的形成与中特提斯洋板块的俯冲作用密切相关,同时俯冲-碰撞转换的时限应该在120 Ma左右。这对于研究抹谷地体在中生代期间中特提斯洋俯冲碰撞过程具有重要的地质意义。  相似文献   

Fissure swarms and fracture systems within the Western Volcanic Zone,Iceland – Effects of spreading rates     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2016

The Western Volcanic Zone (WVZ) in Iceland is ∼120 km long and 40 km wide. It offers an opportunity to study rift zones in a local ultra-slow spreading area close to a hotspot. Fractures were mapped from aerial photographs and digital elevation models. Most surface fractures are located in the southern part of the WVZ. The majority of the fractures have a north-northeasterly orientation, some deviations occur from this, especially in the north part of the WVZ. Fracture orientations are therefore quite uniform in the southern, faster spreading part of the WVZ, but more irregular in the slower-spreading northern part. This suggests different stress fields in the north part, which could be due to the influence of the Hreppar microplate and possibly also due to stress fields induced by crustal deformation because of changes in glacial load in the area. Such glacially-induced stress fields may have similar or even more influence than crustal spreading in the slower spreading northern part of the WVZ. Lower fracture density towards the north within the WVZ suggests lower frequency of rifting events in the north part, in accordance with less spreading in the north as measured by GPS geodetic measurements.  相似文献
