Complex rift geometries resulting from inheritance of pre-existing structures: Insights and regional implications from the Barmer Basin rift     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2015

Structural studies of the Barmer Basin in Rajasthan, northwest India, demonstrate the important effect that pre-existing faults can have on the geometries of evolving fault systems at both the outcrop and basin-scale. Outcrop exposures on opposing rift margins reveal two distinct, non-coaxial extensional events. On the eastern rift margin northwest–southeast extension was accommodated on southwest- and west-striking faults that form a complex, zig-zag fault network. On the western rift margin northeast–southwest extension was accommodated on northwest-striking faults that form classical extensional geometries.Combining these outcrop studies with subsurface interpretations demonstrates that northwest–southeast extension preceded northeast–southwest extension. Structures active during the early, previously unrecognised extensional event were variably incorporated into the evolving fault systems during the second. In the study area, an inherited rift-oblique fault transferred extension from the rift margin to a mid-rift fault, rather than linking rift margin fault systems directly. The resultant rift margin accommodation structure has important implications for early sediment routing and depocentre evolution, as well as wider reaching implications for the evolution of the rift basin and West Indian Rift System. The discovery of early rifting in the Barmer Basin supports that extension along the West Indian Rift System was long-lived, multi-event, and likely resulted from far-field plate reorganisations.  相似文献   

Structural style in a young flexure-induced oblique extensional system,north-western Bonaparte Basin,Australia     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2015

In the north-western Bonaparte Basin (North West Shelf of Australia) Neogene to Recent flexure-induced extension superimposed obliquely over the Mesozoic rift structures. Thus, the area offers a good opportunity to investigate the dynamics and architecture of oblique extension fault systems. Analysis of basin-scale 2D and 3D seismic data along the Vulcan sub-basin shows that Neogene deformation produced a new set of extensional, en échelon faults, at places accompanied by the reactivation of the Mesozoic faults. The pre-existing Mesozoic structures strongly control the distribution of the Neogene-Recent deformation, both at regional and local scales. Main controls on the Neogene-Recent fault style, density and segmentation/linkage include: (1) the orientation of the underlying Mesozoic structures, (2) the obliqueness of the younger extension relative to the rift-inherited faults, and (3) the proximity to the Timor Trough. Three types of vertical relationships have been observed between Mesozoic and Neogene-Recent faults. Hard linkages seems to develop when both fault systems trend parallel, therefore increasing risks for trap integrity. It is suggested that the orientation of maximum horizontal stress (S_Hmax) relative to the Mesozoic faults, forming hydrocarbon traps, is critical for their potential seal/leak behaviour. Stratigraphic growth across the faults indicates that main fault activity occurred during the Plio-Pleistocene, which corresponds to the timing of tectonic loading on Timor Island and the development of lithospheric flexure. Synchronism of normal faulting with flexural bending suggests that extensional deformation on the descending Australian margin accompanied the formation of the Timor Trough.  相似文献

班公湖蛇绿混杂岩带内分布着一系列小型斜长花岗斑岩和花岗闪长岩岩体,锆石U-Pb年龄分别为97.4±1.1Ma和91.94±0.78Ma,具埃达克质岩特征,高Si O2、Al2O3和Sr,低Y和Yb,Sr/Y35,轻重稀土分异明显,亏损Nb、Ta和Ti,Cr和Ni含量很低,推测为玄武质岩浆底侵加厚下地壳部分熔融形成。辉石闪长岩脉分布于南侧日土花岗岩内,推测年龄为80~76Ma,岩石地球化学显示亏损Zr、Hf、Ti、Y等高场强元素,富集大离子亲石元素,且具较高的Sc、Y、Cr、Co、HREE和Mg#值(40),源区为经过熔体交代的上地幔。结合前人资料,本文认为班公湖地区在97~92Ma仍处于持续碰撞造山、地壳加厚过程中;92Ma之后,构造体制从碰撞期的挤压转变为碰撞后的板内伸展;80~76Ma,板内的伸展进一步加剧。  相似文献

Seasonal inundation patterns in two large savanna floodplains of South America: the Llanos de Moxos (Bolivia) and the Llanos del Orinoco (Venezuela and Colombia)     

Stephen K. Hamilton  Suzanne J. Sippel  John M. Melack 《水文研究》2004,18(11):2103-2116

Inundation patterns in two of the largest savanna floodplains of South America were studied by analysis of the 37‐GHz polarization difference observed by the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (Nimbus‐7 satellite). Flooded area was estimated at monthly intervals for January 1979 through to August 1987 using mixing models that account for the major landscape units with distinctive microwave emission characteristics. Results are presented separately for five subregions in each of the two floodplain regions to show the spatial as well as temporal variability in inundation patterns. The total area inundated during the 9 years varied between 2069 and 78 460 km² in the Llanos de Moxos (also spelled as Mojos; median area, 23 383 km²) and 1278 and 105 454 km² in the Llanos del Orinoco (median, 25 374 km²), not including the open‐water area of permanent lakes and river channels. The correlation between flooded area and river stage was used to extend the inundation records over a 30‐year period in the Moxos (1967–97) and a 58‐year period (1927–85) in the Orinoco. Interannual variability in inundation is greater in the Moxos than the Orinoco. Comparison of these data, however, with a previously published analysis of the Pantanal wetland shows that inundation patterns in these two floodplain regions are not as variable across years as they are in the Pantanal.

Silurian A-type granitoids in the southern margin of the Tongbai-Dabieshan: Evidence from SHRIMP zircon geochronology and geochemistry

The Dabieshan Orogenic belt is well known for the exhumation of early Mesozoic ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks and Jurassic–Cretaceous emplacement of voluminous granitoids. However, the tectonic evolution in the orogen during the Paleozoic, especially its magmatic response to tectonism has not received much attention. As indicated by published data, the Dabieshan orogenic belt contains different records of Paleozoic magmatic-tectonic association in different tectonic units. Occ…  相似文献

面向分类的高光谱影像局部线性嵌入算法研究     

杨明  余旭初  吴翰书  王超  林斌 《测绘科学》2012,(4):29-31

局部线性嵌入算法(LLE)能很好保存数据点的局部性质,因此有很好的数据可视化效果,但它不是一种很好的面向分类的特征提取方法。因为它存在样本外点学习能力差和忽略了样本类别信息的缺点。对此,本文提出一种分类型局部线性嵌入算法。所提方法通过计算重构误差来判定样本类别,并引进平移向量和缩放因子对距离修正,显著提高类别可分性。在对高光谱影像进行分类的试验中验证了该方法的有效性。  相似文献
