Principal faults in the Shatsky Rise and their influence upon the evolution of the geological structure in the East Black Sea Region     

A. L. Meysner 《Moscow University Geology Bulletin》2009,64(4):214-219

A fault was traced along the southwestern margin of the Shatsky Rise. It extends to land where it crosses the Mountainous Crimea. Interpretation and analysis of marine seismic and magnetic survey data, as well as geological data on land, allow stating that the fault originated during the rift evolution stage of the East Black Sea Basin. Currently, the fault is in the sea and is a channel for migrating hydrocarbon fluids. Another fault was traced from the West Caucasus into the sea, where it separates the Shatsky Rise into two structural units.  相似文献

日本9.0级大地震前长波辐射异常研究   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文

应用聚类分析方法对日本M_w9.0地震前长波辐射进行了分析,结果表明2010年8月在大范围的西太平洋海域,出现一个自北向南逐渐增强的季节性高温条带,该条带从日本海沟中北段开始,一直向南延伸到伊豆—小笠原海沟.同时日本海沟的地壳垂直运动自2010年8月份开始出现季节性运动消失的异常现象.这两种现象同时出现是否表明地球物理场在大地震发生前可能出现异常？地震发生前半年时间出现的热异常条带是否与此次地震有关？这些问题有待进一步探索.  相似文献

Strain accumulation along an oblique plate boundary: the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest Iceland     

M. Keiding  T. Árnadóttir  E. Sturkell  H. Geirsson  B. Lund 《Geophysical Journal International》2008,172(2):861-872

We use annual GPS observations on the Reykjanes Peninsula (RP) from 2000 to 2006 to generate maps of surface velocities and strain rates across the active plate boundary. We find that the surface deformation on the RP is consistent with oblique plate boundary motion on a regional scale, although considerable temporal and spatial strain rate variations are observed within the plate boundary zone. A small, but consistent increase in eastward velocity is observed at several stations on the southern part of the peninsula, compared to the 1993–1998 time period. The 2000–2006 velocities can be modelled by approximating the plate boundary as a series of vertical dislocations with left-lateral motion and opening. For the RP plate boundary we estimate left-lateral motion  18⁺⁴₋₃ mm yr⁻¹  and opening of  7⁺³₋₂ mm yr⁻¹  below a locking depth of  7⁺¹₋₂ km  . The resulting deep motion of  20⁺⁴₋₃ mm yr⁻¹  in the direction of  N(100⁺⁸₋₆)°E  agrees well with the predicted relative North America–Eurasia rate. We calculate the areal and shear strain rates using velocities from two periods: 1993–1998 and 2000–2006. The deep motion along the plate boundary results in left-lateral shear strain rates, which are perturbed by shallow deformation due to the 1994–1998 inflation and elevated seismicity in the Hengill–Hrómundartindur volcanic system, geothermal fluid extraction at the Svartsengi power plant, and possibly earthquake activity on the central part of the peninsula.  相似文献

低纬度环球带和环太平洋带大地震的幕式活动分析   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文

统计分析低纬度环球带(E带)和环太平洋带(P带)在1900～2008年间M_W≥7.5地震的时空分布,进一步证实两者本身和两者之间都存在15～18年的幕式交替活动. 将这两大地震带分别划分为5个地震区,发现这些分区地震幕式活动互不相同, 但E带各区奇数幕与偶数幕年均地震数之比OER均大于1.58, 而P带各区的OER均小于0.93, 显示出前者以奇数幕活跃为特征, 后者以偶数幕活跃为特征. 对这些地震区的组合分析进一步证明,从幕式活动的共性看, 中太平洋地区宜纳入E带. 本文推论:低纬度环球带是另一条全球尺度地震带;大地震幕式活动的成因应归因于板块运动有几十年时间尺度的非平稳幕式运动;未来5～8年, E带的大地震还会比P带多.  相似文献

Global Plate Motions and Their Impact on the Earth''s Surface Area Change     

Cao Shuai  Zhang Keliang  Wei Dongping 《中国地震研究》2010,24(3):344-352

Based on their Euler poles,we calculated the relative velocities between every two plates in the typical global plate motion models,respectively,and estimated the area change along these boundaries. In our calculations,plates on both sides accommodated area changes depending on the boundary types: extensional, convergent or transform, so we can estimate area change of each plate and then globally. Our preliminary results show that the area of the southern hemisphere increased while that of the northern hemisphere decreased over the past 1 million years,and global area has increased by 26,000km2 to 36,000km2,which corresponds to the 160m～250m increment on the Earth's radius if all these area increments are attributed to Earth's expansion. Taking the NUVEL-1 model as an example,of the 14 plates in this model,11 are decreasing,but the global area has increased because of the larger increment amount from Africa,North America and Antarctica. Finally,we also discussed factors affecting the global area change such as subduction zone retreating and back-arc spreading.  相似文献   

Intra-arc extension in Central America: Links between plate motions, tectonics, volcanism, and geochemistry     

J. Phipps Morgan  C.R. Ranero  P. Vannucchi 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2008,272(1-2):365-371

This study revisits the kinematics and tectonics of Central America subduction, synthesizing observations of marine bathymetry, high-resolution land topography, current plate motions, and the recent seismotectonic and magmatic history in this region. The inferred tectonic history implies that the Guatemala–El Salvador and Nicaraguan segments of this volcanic arc have been a region of significant arc tectonic extension; extension arising from the interplay between subduction roll-back of the Cocos Plate and the ~ 10–15mm/yr slower westward drift of the Caribbean plate relative to the North American Plate. The ages of belts of magmatic rocks paralleling both sides of the current Nicaraguan arc are consistent with long-term arc-normal extension in Nicaragua at the rate of ~ 5–10mm/yr, in agreement with rates predicted by plate kinematics. Significant arc-normal extension can ‘hide’ a very large intrusive arc-magma flux; we suggest that Nicaragua is, in fact, the most magmatically robust section of the Central American arc, and that the volume of intrusive volcanism here has been previously greatly underestimated. Yet, this flux is hidden by the persistent extension and sediment infill of the rifting basin in which the current arc sits. Observed geochemical differences between the Nicaraguan arc and its neighbors which suggest that Nicaragua has a higher rate of arc-magmatism are consistent with this interpretation. Smaller-amplitude, but similar systematic geochemical correlations between arc-chemistry and arc-extension in Guatemala show the same pattern as the even larger variations between the Nicaragua arc and its neighbors.  相似文献
