Geothermal investigations in the Bohus granite area in southwestern Sweden     

Ove Landstrm  Sven ke Larson  Gustaf Lind  David Malmqvist 《Tectonophysics》1980,64(1-2)

Heat generation and heat flow were determined for the Bohus granite massif in western Sweden. This is the start of a major program concerning geothermal energy in Sweden. Neutron activation analyses, temperature measurements, thermal conductivity measurements have been carried out. As was expected the result, 76 mW m⁻², shows that even old Precambrian shields locally exhibit much higher values than normal.  相似文献   

First-order analysis of deformation of a thrust sheet moving over a ramp     

Philip Berger  Arvid M. Johnson   《Tectonophysics》1980,70(3-4):T9-T24

John L. Rich introduced the revolutionary concept that many folds in the Appalachian Mountains can be explained as superficial structures formed by passive translation of thrust blocks over ramps in detachment surfaces. The amount of layer-parallel shortening can be negligible in the formation of these folds. Rich primarily was concerned with an explanation for the Powell Valley anticline, in the southern Appalachians, but the essential kinematic features of his model of folding have been verified in other folds in the Appalachians, in the Canadian Rockies, in the Idaho-Wyoming thrust belt, and in the Pyrenees. In this paper we solve the boundary-value problem for an idealized thrust block moving over a detachment surface and ramp with zero drag, and produce theoretical fold forms in the thrust block that closely resemble those in Rich's idealized model. The anticline is narrow and rounded if the translation is small, and broad and flat-topped if the translation is large. The limbs of the anticline are symmetric. We also incorporate drag along the ramp part of the detachment surface in order to derive a possible explanation for the asymmetry of dips of the two limbs of the Powell Valley anticline. We show that drag can explain the asymmetry, particularly if drag between relatively competent rocks in opposition at the ramp caused an initial anticline to form as the thrust block began to move, and then drag reduced markedly as relatively soft shales at the base of the block were thrust over competent rocks in the ramp. The existence of the initial anticline should be reflected in asymmetry of the two limbs and in a bulge at the distal edge of the broad anticline.  相似文献   

The PT phase relations of a primary oceanite from the Reykjanes peninsula,Iceland     

Sven Maaløe  Sveinn P Jakobsson 《Lithos》1980,13(3):237-246

The field relationships and petrographic features of the oceanites of the Reykjanes peninsula suggest that they might have originated as primary magmas. The principal phase relationships of primary liquids formed by the partial melting of lherzolites are defined. The phase relations obtained for oceanite RE78 between 0 and 30 kbar at dry conditions suggest that the oceanite originated as a primary magma at 25 kbar and 1580°C, and erupted at a temperature near 1300°C.  相似文献   

Time fluctuations of small ion number density in the atmospheric surface layer     

Sven Israelsson 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1977,115(3):561-574

The standard deviations and time-spectra of small ion number density have been measured at ground level under different atmospheric stability conditions. The auto-correlation correlograms and the time-spectra imply a scale of fluctuations corresponding to 1 to 4 min. No clear relationships between standard deviations of small ion number density and micro-meteorological parameters are observed. Thus the results are not a support for Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. For the highest frequencies the slopes of the spectra seem to follow the –5/3-law fairly well and the frequencies of the peak values of individual spectra lnfS(f) increase when the atmosphere stability increases, which is valid for ordinary micrometeorological parameters.  相似文献   

Footwall mineralization during Late Miocene extension along the West Cycladic Detachment System,Lavrion, Greece     

Alexandra Berger  David A. Schneider  Bernhard Grasemann  Daniel Stockli 《地学学报》2013,25(3):181-191

The West Cycladic Detachment System (WCDS) has been mapped from the western Cycladic islands to Lavrion (mainland Greece), where several top‐to‐SSW low‐angle normal faults at different structural levels are observed. Near the detachment horizon, hydrothermal fluid flow originating from Miocene intrusions lead to high‐temperature carbonate strata‐bound Pb–Ag–Zn ore deposits. Zircon (U–Th)/He cooling ages from the mineralized footwall are 7.1 ± 0.6 to 7.9 ± 0.6 Ma. Carbon‐ and O‐isotope analyses of the carbonate host indicate high water‐to‐rock ratios during brittle deformation‐induced metasomatism, and that this interaction, unrelated to proximity of the intrusions, plays the dominant role in the mineralization. The Late Miocene geology of Lavrion is strikingly similar to Serifos island on the SE termination of the WCDS, both characterized by strong localization of detachment faulting and the interaction of brittle deformation with the injection of fluids related to granitoid intrusions.  相似文献   

Observation of Plasma Instabilities in Quiescent Prominences     

M. Ryutova  T. Berger  Z. Frank  T. Tarbell  A. Title 《Solar physics》2010,267(1):75-94

We study dynamics of quiescent prominences using several data sets taken with the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) on Hinode. We find a number of processes occurring at different stages of prominence evolution that are common for all of our chosen cases and, having universal character, can be related to fundamental plasma instabilities. We combine the observational evidence and theory to identify these instabilities. Here we discuss three examples: i) prominence cavity formation and its evolution, associated with a screw-pinch instability; ii) development of a regular series of plumes and spikes typical to the Rayleigh?–?Taylor (RT) instability; and iii) the appearance of growing ripples at the prominence/corona interface, often followed by a sudden collimated mass upflow, attributed to the Kelvin?–?Helmholtz (KH) instability. The conditions for transition from a linear (rippling mode) to nonlinear stage of the KH instability, known to have an explosive character, are specified. Given excellent Hinode data, all three aspects of prominence dynamics allow quantitative analysis.  相似文献   

A new perspective on the significance of the Ranotsara shear zone in Madagascar     

Guido Schreurs  Jörg Giese  Alfons Berger  Edwin Gnos 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2010,99(8):1827-1847

The Ranotsara shear zone in Madagascar has been considered in previous studies to be a >350-km-long, intracrustal strike-slip shear zone of Precambrian/Cambrian age. Because of its oblique strike to the east and west coast of Madagascar, the Ranotsara shear zone has been correlated with shear zones in southern India and eastern Africa in Gondwana reconstructions. Our assessment using remote sensing data and field-based investigations, however, reveals that what previously has been interpreted as the Ranotsara shear zone is in fact a composite structure with a ductile deflection zone confined to its central segment and prominent NW–SE trending brittle faulting along most of its length. We therefore prefer the more neutral term “Ranotsara Zone”. Lithologies, tectonic foliations, and axial trace trajectories of major folds can be followed from south to north across most of the Ranotsara Zone and show only a marked deflection along its central segment. The ductile deflection zone is interpreted as a result of E–W indentation of the Antananarivo Block into the less rigid, predominantly metasedimentary rocks of the Southwestern Madagascar Block during a late phase of the Neoproterozoic/Cambrian East African Orogeny (c. 550–520 Ma). The Ranotsara Zone shows significant NW–SE striking brittle faulting that reactivates part of the NW–SE striking ductile structures in the flexure zone, but also extends along strike toward the NW and toward the SE. Brittle reactivation of ductile structures along the central segment of the Ranotsara Zone, confirmed by apatite-fission track results, may have led to the formation of a shallow Neogene basin underlying the Ranotsara plain. The present-day drainage pattern suggests on-going normal fault activity along the central segment. The Ranotsara Zone is not a megascale intracrustal strike-slip shear zone that crosscuts the entire basement of southern Madagascar. It can therefore not be used as a piercing point in Gondwana reconstructions.  相似文献   

Calcium,Na, K and Mg Concentrations in Seawater by Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Applications to IAPSO Seawater Reference Material,Hydrothermal Fluids and Synthetic Seawater Solutions     

Philippe Besson  Jefferson Degboe  Benjamin Berge  Valérie Chavagnac  Sébastien Fabre  Gilles Berger 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2014,38(3):355-362

We report a measurement procedure to determine simultaneously the major cation concentrations (Na, Ca, K and Mg) of seawater‐derived solutions by inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectrometry. The best results were obtained when the IAPSO (‘standard’) seawater reference material was diluted by thirty times with Milli‐Q^® water. We obtained an average reference value r_K (the ratio of the mass fraction of potassium to that of chlorine, i.e., (g kg^?1)/(g kg^?1)) for IAPSO seawater of 0.0205 ± 0.0006 (2.9% RSD), not significantly different from 0.0206 ± 0.0005 (2.4% RSD) for seawater composition reported in the literature. The measured Na, Ca and Mg concentrations correspond to r_Na, r_Ca and r_Mg values of 0.5406 ± 0.0026 (0.5% RSD), 0.02192 ± 0.00048 (2.2% RSD) and 0.06830 ± 0.00047 (0.7% RSD), respectively, in line with previous values measured by wet‐chemistry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry or wet‐chemical titration. Our measurement procedure was used successfully on synthetic seawater solutions and high‐temperature hydrothermal fluids.  相似文献   

Basic Properties of Mutual Magnetic Helicity     

P. Demoulin  E. Pariat  M. A. Berger 《Solar physics》2006,233(1):3-27

We derive the magnetic helicity for configurations formed by flux tubes contained fully or only partially in the spatial domain considered (called closed and open configurations, respectively). In both cases, magnetic helicity is computed as the sum of mutual helicity over all possible pairs of magnetic flux tubes weighted by their magnetic fluxes. We emphasize that these mutual helicities have properties which are not those of mutual inductances in classical circuit theory. For closed configurations, the mutual helicity of two closed flux tubes is their relative winding around each other (known as the Gauss linkage number). For open configurations, the magnetic helicity is derived directly from the geometry of the interlaced flux tubes so it can be computed without reference to a ground state (such as a potential field). We derive the explicit expression in the case of a planar and spherical boundary. The magnetic helicity has two parts. The first one is given only by the relative positions of the flux tubes on the boundary. It is the only part if all flux tubes are arch-shaped. The second part counts the integer number of turns each pair of flux tubes wind about each other. This provides a general method to compute the magnetic helicity with discrete or continuous distributions of magnetic field. The method sets closed and open configurations on an equal level within the same theoretical framework.  相似文献
