Active tectonics of the Himalaya     

James F Ni 《Journal of Earth System Science》1989,98(1):71-89

The Himalayan mountains are a product of the collision between India and Eurasia which began in the Eocene. In the early stage of continental collision the development of a suture zone between two colliding plates took place. The continued convergence is accommodated along the suture zone and in the back-arc region. Further convergence results in intracrustal megathrust within the leading edge of the advancing Indian plate. In the Himalaya this stage is characterized by the intense uplift of the High Himalaya, the development of the Tibetan Plateau and the breaking-up of the central and eastern Asian continent. Although numerous models for the evolution of the Himalaya have been proposed, the available geological and geophysical data are consistent with an underthrusting model in which the Indian continental lithosphere underthrusts beneath the Himalaya and southern Tibet. Reflection profiles across the entire Himalaya and Tibet are needed to prove the existence of such underthrusting. Geodetic surveys across the High Himalaya are needed to determine the present state of the MCT as well as the rate of uplift and shortening within the Himalaya. Paleoseismicity studies are necessary to resolve the temporal and spatial patterns of major earthquake faulting along the segmented Himalayan mountains.  相似文献   

Bauxite development in the North Apuseni mountains, western Romania     

Georgeta E. Ionescu 《Cretaceous Research》1993,14(6)

The stratigraphic and palaeogeomorphologic conditions of bauxite formation in the North Apuseni mountains are related to the geotectonic evolution of western Romania during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Bauxitization, accumulation and preservation of the bauxites were directly associated with karst development in the area under study. The petrographic and mineralogic nature of the bauxite deposits reveal superimposed aliagenetic, catagenic and, locally, metamorphic features. A comparative analysis of the principal chemical components of the different bauxite-bearing zones of the North Apuseni mountains are used to show similar development.  相似文献

Abstract Based on petrological, structural, geological and geochronological research, the authors summarize the progress of ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic rock study since 1989 by Chinese geoscientists and foreign geoscientists in the Dabie-Su-Lu region. The authors introduce and discuss a two-stage exhumation process for the UHP metamorphic rocks that have various lithologies; eclogite, ultramafics, jadeitic quartzite, gneiss, schist and marble. The metamorphic history of UHP metamorphic rocks is divided into three stages, that is, the pre-eclogite stage, coesite eclogite stage, and retrograde stage. Prior to UHP metamorphism, the ultramafics had a high temperature environment assemblage of mantle and others had blueschist facies assemblages. The granulite facies assemblages, which have recorded a temperature increase event with decompression, have developed locally in the Weihai basaltic rocks. Isotopic ages show a long range from > 700 Ma to 200 Ma. The diversity in protoliths of UHP metamorphic rocks may be related to the variation of isotopic ages older than 400 Ma. The Sm-Nd dating of ~ 220 Ma could reflect the initial exhumation stage after the peak UHP metamorphism in relation to the collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze blocks and subsequent events. Petrological and structural evidence imply a two-stage exhumation process. During the initial exhumation, the UHP metamorphic rocks were sheared and squeezed up in a high P/T regime. In the second exhumation stage the UHP metamorphic rocks were uplifted and eventually exposed with middle crustal rocks.  相似文献

华蓥山地区上二叠统长兴阶生物礁顶部普遍存在一套数米至十余米厚的钙结壳．含有钙结壳中常见的渗滤豆石、钙质结核、蜂窝状构造、根模、钙化细菌丝体、花瓣构造、微型钟乳石等典型组构，并伴有变形构造、溶蚀构造和角砾化等现象。这套钙结壳的发现对研究华南二、三叠纪之交的古气候，古地理和沉积发育史具有重要意义，本文主要描述钙结壳的岩石学特征，并简要讨论了本地区钙结壳的成因。  相似文献   

太行山区龙华河群的建立与否定     

徐朝雷  徐有华  张平 《地球科学》1985,(4)

太行山北段早前寒武系龙华河群为六十年代所建,后来发现五台山区的五台群底界已延入龙华河群之中。近年来,许多新资料表明,它实际上包括了龙泉关群、五台群及滹沱群的一部分。因而,应废除龙华河群,并对它进行重新划分。  相似文献

根据内蒙古阴山山系及邻近地区的布格重力异常分布特征，发现阴山、大青山山地和呼包盆地地区的布格重力异常分布与地形高程呈“同步型”的特异变化特征.而该地区航磁异常分布呈现为阴山山区是大面积负磁异常区，呼包盆地为强正磁异常区的特异磁异常分布特征.通过对地震、大地电磁数据、特别是重力数据资料的处理分析，给出阴山山系和呼包盆地地区的地壳结构，均表明地壳底界面都没有明显的下凹与上凸，且盆地北缘为两大块体的接触带.这些特征可能表征着阴山山系和呼包盆地重磁异常呈特异变化的一些原因.  相似文献

北祁连九个泉蛇绿岩中的玄武岩的MORB，根据其地质产状和地球化学特征又可以分为两部分，剖面下部的玄武岩为N－MORB，上部的玄武岩主要为E－MORB。玄武岩多数具有Nb负异常，从下向上，九个朱武岩的Th,Nb,LREE,Zr等含量及（La/Yb)N,(La/Sm)N,Ce/Zr,Zr/Y,Th/.La,Th/Yb比值逐渐增加，并伴随着Y，Yb,Lu,Sc含量，Zr/Nb和La/Nb比值以及εEd(t)的逐渐减小，不相容元素比值及εNd(t)之间具有很好的相关性，上述特征反映不均一地幔部分熔融过程中N－MORB源区和富集地幔之间的混合作用，微量元素和Nd同位素地球化学特征表明九个泉蛇绿岩形成于弧后盆地中的海山环境，玄武岩的化学成分在垂向上的变化记录了海山生长并逐渐远离扩张脊的动态的地质过程，海山可能是形成蛇绿岩的一种重要环境。  相似文献
