Northern Fennoscandia has experienced high-magnitude postglacial fault (PGF) events, yet the role of seismic tremors in subglacial deformations and meltwater discharge has remained obscure. We studied glacial geomorphology in Utsjoki, Finnish Lapland, an area characterized by the Utsjoki drumlin field fanning out north and northeast to the Younger Dryas End Moraines (YDEMs) in northern Norway. Paleolandslides were common on fells (i.e. mountains shaped by Pleistocene glaciations) and were formed in nunatak position evidencing fault-instability in app. 11,900 calibrated (cal) BP. An anastomosing network of eskers was found throughout Utsjoki, and was probably generated through short-lived sliding bed stages during the discharge of subglacial lake(s). The formation of networks is different from time-transgressive evolution of single-ridged eskers in arborescent (treelike) systems. The most probable triggering mechanism for the meltwater outburst(s) was an earthquake tremor(s) associated with fault-instability during the late and post-Younger Dryas (YD). The alignment of the esker network was inconsistent with parallel-to-iceflow streamlining and the eskers erode or superimpose drumlins. Hence the esker network post-dates the streamlining. In some cases, hummocky (Pulju) moraine was observed to coexist with esker network and peculiar ‘kettle’ and ‘liquefaction’ features. We propose that glacio-seismotectonic events contributed not only to landslides but were also the primary force behind subglacial evolution of esker networks and possibly even hummocky moraine.  相似文献

地层埋藏史研究是借助计算机恢复地层古厚度,动态的再现盆地的沉积发育过程,同时也是含油气系统研究的核心内容,是研究油气的生、运、聚及成藏过程的基础和关键。本文在区域概况分析的基础上,应用EASY％R。方法定量计算了柴达木盆地西部31口重点探井的剥蚀量,并应用实例详细论证了该方法恢复的剥蚀量是合理可靠的,然后应用回剥技术恢复原始地层厚度,做出了单井埋藏史图。并划分出了连续沉积型、中期剥蚀型和晚期强烈剥蚀型3种埋藏史类型。埋藏史与油气的关系密切：未遭受强烈抬升、剥蚀影响的地区能够较好的保存原生油气藏;而后期的强烈剥蚀使得早期的原生油气藏遭到破坏,同时又导致了浅层次生油气藏的形成。这对正确认识该地区沉积沉降演化历史和成藏机制,指导油气勘探具有重要作用。  相似文献

雷东宁  乔岳强  胡庆  余松  蔡永建 《大地测量与地球动力学》2017,37(2):116-121

通过遥感解译、现场地质地貌调查,获得了房县盆地内及控盆边界断裂活动、河流阶地、夷平面等基础资料,并在此基础上讨论了盆地新构造运动特征。综合分析认为,盆地内断裂早第四纪有一定的活动,晚第四纪以来未见明显活动迹象;控盆断裂第四纪以来有过活动,晚第四纪活动稍强,活动性质以正断为主,表现为隆起背景下的伸展构造环境;盆地新构造活动的显著特征表现为南北差异隆升,新生代地层整体往南倾斜。  相似文献

在精细地震资料构造解释基础上,认为上新世—第四纪是南黄海盆地新构造运动的主要活动期,对应南黄海盆地第二个阶段的断裂活动期。垂向上,新构造运动具有早晚构造响应差异:早期南北向弱挤压背景下以张性正断层为主,晚期东西向两幕挤压背景下以逆断层和褶皱为主;平面上,新构造运动影响亦具有差异:北部坳陷活动强烈、正断层发育、逆断层少量,而南部坳陷活动较弱。新构造运动与北部坳陷烃源岩的生排烃时期吻合,断裂带是重要输导体系,也是重要的潜在成藏区。  相似文献

南海具有复杂的地质构造背景,扩张结束以后,新构造运动活跃,但各区域新构造运动发生的时间及运动特征有较大差异。本文综合分析了南海各区域构造演化事件、现今构造格局及新构造运动的基本特征,认为南海新构造运动的起始时间为中中新世（约15 Ma）较合理。在此基础上,收集和整理了南海及邻区最新的地质和地球物理资料,对南海海域新构造期地层差异升降、活动断裂、天然地震以及岩浆活动等新构造表现形式进行了综合分析,系统总结了南海新构造运动特征,并根据活动断裂、天然地震以及岩浆活动等特征和分布规律分析,认为南海海域新构造的表现形式之间存在较大的耦合性。本文根据新构造运动表现形式在空间分布的不平衡性,将南海及邻区划分为1个强构造活动区、3个中等强度构造活动区以及1个弱构造活动区,并结合研究区应力场特征分析,认为南海新构造运动主要受控于东部菲律宾海板块和太平洋板块对东亚大陆边缘的持续俯冲碰撞作用。  相似文献

Cautious neotectonic hypotheses for assessing the seismic hazard in northeastern Italy     

Joanna E. Papoulia  Dario Slejko 《Natural Hazards》1992,5(3):249-268

A simplified tectonic scheme for hazard purposes was recently adopted for northeastern Italy, introducing large generalized seismogenic areas containing systems of complex geometry faults. This scheme considers only major faults with documented seismic activity. In the present analysis, a different tectonic scheme, with linear elements as seismogenic sources, is presented. The assessment of the regional seismic hazard is done with the fault rupture model, its most important advantage being the recognition that the length of fault rupture during an earthquake is an important consideration in probabilistic calculations of seismic hazard. Moreover, some structures with no associated seismicity but with notable neotectonic activity are considered, and their contribution to the results investigated. Important uncertainties such as those in the maximum possible magnitude of future earthquakes, in the location of the fault, in the focal depth, and in the attenuation law are accounted for in the calculations and their influence studied. The results identify a seismic belt running from Lake Garda to Friuli and along the Yugoslav coast and are very similar to those already known for Friuli, with the largest values corresponding to the zone around Gemona. Some slight differences in the shape of the areas of equal acceleration are probably due to the delineation of the seismic sources of the proposed model. For a cautious elaboration, some neotectonic lines without present seismicity were added into the fault model. Their contribution is negligible in the areas of highest acceleration, but increases remarkably in the areas where acceleration is not expected to exceed the medium values.  相似文献
