The Darwin Rise demise: the western Pacific guyot heights trace the trans-Pacific Mendocino fracture zone     

N. Christian Smoot  Robert E. King 《Geomorphology》1997,18(3-4)

The Darwin Rise has been proposed so many times and in so many forms and places that the time has come to make a more comprehensive examination of the region. Lying on the NW Pacific Plate between the Geisha Guyots, the Mid-Pacific Mountains, the equator, and the trenches, the region is roughly bounded by magnetic anomaly M20 (147 Ma). It was subjected to a massive outpouring of lava about 105 to 120 Ma, which created the guyots and seamounts in that region. Guyots are excellent tools for studying events of long ago because they eroded in the same lowstand in the Cretaceous and guyot relief, therefore, is a surrogate for paleo-sealevel. The relief is derived by subtracting the break depth of the summit plateau of a guyot from the regional depth. Guyot relief would necessarily be less in the center than to the periphery if the feature formed on a pre-existing rise, as has been postulated. The existence of a paleo-Darwin Rise would give concentric contours for the region in question. Of the sixty guyots used in this study, thirty-seven of these guyots were surveyed using SASS multibeam in the Marcus-Wake seamount group. Twenty-three guyots were surveyed using random track single-beam sonar surveys. An entirely different scenario is shown. Data revealed a major fracture passing through the area coevally or after the guyots formed. Because the depths to the summit are not the same now, vertical tectonics occurred after subaerial erosion. This means the fracture formed during and after the erosion (roughly 105 Ma) and influenced the normal sequence of events in guyot formation. Depending on how one deciphers trends through the Hess Rise morass, SASS bathymetry shows a continuation of the Surveyor/Mendocino fracture zone swarm inside the M20 region to the NE of these data. The fracture swarm continues to the western Pacific trench system. Based on this information, if the Darwin Rise ever existed, it had to have done so elsewhere.  相似文献

天山地震活动区的深部构造特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

胥颐 《新疆地质》1996,(2)

以地壳介质的Ｐ波速度分布和导电性为基础，描述了天山地区几个主要地震活动区域深部构造特征，地震大都发生在地壳内不同速度块体之间的过渡带附近；沿着天山的南缘和毗邻塔里木盆地的西昆仑、阿尔金等山前地带，壳内高导层由北向南、由东向西逐渐加深并增厚，它们与所在地区震源深度的分相相吻合。这种不稳定的地壳结构有长期受力情况下非常容易发生形变甚至破裂而引发地震。  相似文献

A model study on the decay of volcanic aerosol layer and verification with Pinatubo and El Chichon data     

S. Ramachandran  A. Jayaraman  B. R. Sitaram 《Journal of Earth System Science》1997,106(3):157-167

The time evolution of stratospheric aerosol layer formed after a volcanic eruption is studied taking into account the aerosol microphysical processes of growth, coagulation and sedimentation. Using a simple model we could explain the observed evolution of the Pinatubo volcanic layer which decayed in about 3 years. The experimental data obtained by Nd:YAG backscatter lidar over Ahmedabad further supports this finding. The data obtained after the El Chichon volcanic eruption also showed that the El Chichon aerosol layer decayed in about 3 years time. Thus, though the amount of SO₂ injected has been higher, in the case of Pinatubo, about two to three times more than El Chichon, it has resulted in the production of larger aerosol particles due to faster growth and coagulation processes, and subsequently a faster removal rate, to give more or less a similar background aerosol amount at the stratosphere in about 3 years time.  相似文献   

Measurement and research method of metallogenic depths of Jiaojia orefield and Linglong orefield Shandong Province, China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Taking the contribution of the tectonic force to the total hydrostatic pressure into account, the author puts forward a new method on the calculation of the depth of petrogenesis and metallogenesis which is summarized as follows: first the tectonic added hydrostatic pressured P_s is subtracted from the total hydrostatic pressure P, then using their difference P_r, according to the general method the depth of petrogenesis and metallogenesis can be determined in consideration of lateral constraint. By the new method the following data on the depths of the metallogenesis are obtained: 2 243.6 m (No. I and No. II veins with metallogenic epoch of 105 Ma) and 1 632. 38 m (No. III vein with 105 Ma) for Jiaojia orefield, and 3 454.97 m (NE-trending zone with 213.2 Ma), 1 902.79 III (ENE-trending zone with 100.28 Ma), 1 090.97 m (NE-trending zone with 80.67 Ma) and 720.55 m (NNE-trending zone with 71.86 Ma) for Linglong orefield.

Crustal structure of Dabieshan orogenic belt   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The crustal structures ofP velocity and density on the deep seismic sounding profile across the Ilabieshan orogenic belt are presented. There is a 5-km-thick crustal “root” between the Yuexi and Xiaotian where the elevation is highest on the profile. An apparent Moho offset of 4. 5 km beneath the Xiaotian-Mozitan fault marks the paleo-suture of the Triassic collision. A high-velocity anomaly zone at the depth below 3 km beneath the ultra-high pressure (UHP) zone may be correlated to the higher content of UHP metamorphic rocks.

根据USCS地震资料：分析了吉林-日本深震区地震的深度特征．结果表明：吉林-日本深震区地震位于太平洋板块与欧亚大陆板块的交界带上．其北支地震活动强于南支．同时也揭示了该区地震深度、地震频次以及地震能量之间的关系．指出其最容易发生强震的地震层位在570-580km左右。由深度资料推断板块间的作用方式，太平洋板块向欧亚大陆的挤压是一个由浅入深的过程，在不同的部位其俯冲角度与俯冲距离是不一样的，一般来说，倾角越大，俯冲越陡．水平延伸距离越短；反之，倾角越小．俯冲越平缓，水平延伸距离越长。  相似文献
