Discussion: denudation rates in southeast Northumberland since the Devensian glaciation     

Richard Clark 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1998,23(12):1135-1139

Field examination and review of previous studies show that glacial landforms are widespread in southeast Northumberland and across the local altitude range. Ice-contact deposits occur on the main valley floors. Numerous subglacial channels descend to or close to present valley floors, and many of the lesser valleys have carried meltwater and glaciofluvial sediment. In major part, the land surface retains its end-glacial form and age. Evidence for a landscape largely end-glacial in form and age rather than one produced since loss of ice cover by laterally diverse erosion indicates that rates of denudation over the last 15 ka have been less than those obtained from height differences between actual surface and a reconstructed notional end-glacial surface.

Landform and sediment imprints of fast glacier flow in the southwest Laurentide Ice Sheet     

David J. A. Evans  Chris D. Clark  Brice R. Rea 《第四纪科学杂志》2008,23(3):249-272

Evidence for former fast glacier flow (ice streaming) in the southwest Laurentide Ice Sheet is identified on the basis of regional glacial geomorphology and sedimentology, highlighting the depositional processes associated with the margin of a terrestrial terminating ice stream. Preliminary mapping from a digital elevation model of Alberta identifies corridors of smoothed topography and corridor‐parallel streamlined landforms (megaflutes to mega‐lineations) that display high levels of spatial coherency. Ridges that lie transverse to the dominant streamlining patterns are interpreted as: (a) series of minor recessional push moraines; (b) thrust block moraines or composite ridges/hill–hole pairs constructed during readvances/surges; and (c) overridden moraines (cupola hills), apparently of thrust origin. Together these landforms demarcate the beds and margins of former fast ice flow trunks or ice streams that terminated as lobate forms. Localised cross‐cutting and/or misalignment of flow sets indicates temporal separation and the overprinting of ice streams/lobes. The fast‐flow tracks are separated by areas of interlobate or inter‐stream terrain in which moraines have been constructed at the margins of neighbouring (competing) ice streams/outlet glaciers; this inter‐stream terrain was covered by more sluggish, non‐streaming ice during full glacial conditions. Thin tills at the centres of the fast‐flow corridors, in many places unconformably overlying stratified sediments, suggest that widespread till deformation may have been subordinate to basal sliding in driving fast ice flow but the general thickening of tills towards the lobate terminal margins of ice streams/outlet glaciers is consistent with subglacial deformation theory. In this area of relatively low relief we speculate that fast glacier flow or streaming was highly dynamic and transitory, sometimes with fast‐flowing trunks topographically fixed in their onset zones and with the terminus migrating laterally. The occurrence of minor push moraines and flutings and associated landforms, because of their similarity to modern active temperate glacial landsystems, are interpreted as indicative of ice lobe marginal oscillations, possibly in response to seasonal climatic forcing, in locations where meltwater was more effectively drained from the glacier bed. Further north, the occurrence of surging glacier landsystems suggests that persistent fast glacier flow gave way to more transitory surging, possibly in response to the decreasing size of ice reservoir areas in dispersal centres and also locally facilitated by ice‐bed decoupling and drawdown initiated by the development of ice‐dammed lakes.

Folding of a detachment and fault – Modified detachment folding along a lateral ramp,southwestern Montana,USA     

《Journal of Structural Geology》2014

The inversion of the Middle Proterozoic Belt sedimentary basin during Late Cretaceous thrusting in Montana produced a large eastwardly-convex salient, the southern boundary of which is a 200 km-long oblique to lateral ramp subtended by a detachment between the Belt rocks and Archean basement. A 10 km-long lateral ramp segment exposes the upper levels of the detachment where hanging wall Belt rocks have moved out over the Paleozoic and Mesozoic section. The hanging wall structure consists of a train of high amplitude, faulted, asymmetrical detachment folds. Initial west-east shortening produced layer parallel shortening fabrics and dominantly strike slip faulting followed by symmetrical detachment folding. “Lock-up” of movement on the detachment surface produced regional simple shear and caused the detachment folds to become asymmetrical and faulted. Folding of the detachment surface after lock-up modified the easternmost detachment folds further into a southeast-verging, overturned fold pair with a ramp-related fault along the base of the stretched mutual limb.  相似文献

地表温度（LST）作为陆地环境相互作用过程研究中的重要地学参量,其时空分异与下垫面属性、地形地貌格局等息息相关。本文基于2000—2020年MOD11C3数据,采用GIS空间分析、空间重心模型及改进的半径法等手段,对新疆地区月、季、年及昼夜等序列时空尺度LST的分布特征及变化趋势进行研究,并借助LUCC、DEM等多源遥感数据进一步探讨各类下垫面、不同地貌单元及部分典型区域的LST垂直递减率、增减温及热（冷）岛效应等地理特征。结果表明：① 研究期间新疆年均LST为9.45 ℃,呈减温和增温趋势的区域分别占研究区面积的13.3%和86.7%,增温区域占绝大部分,故近20年研究区整体呈升温趋势（0.024 ℃·a^-1）,较全国高出约0.01 ℃·a^-1,其中春季增幅最大,冬季次之;夜间LST变化明显强于白天,春、夏两季昼夜温差均大于23.7 ℃,而冬季最小（约15 ℃）;研究区年际高、低温重心迁移轨迹大多分布于LST变幅较大区域,各月LST空间分布及高低温重心转移轨迹均表现出以7月为中点的年内强对称性规律。② 不同下垫面地表冷热环境空间分布差异较显著。其中以荒漠和裸土为主的未利用地年均LST最高（13.42 ℃）且昼夜温差最大（23.6 ℃）,高寒区冰川年均LST最低（-7 ℃）且昼夜温差（14.3 ℃）最小,其他下垫面年均LST在2.6~11 ℃之间,昼夜温差较小且较一致（平均16.75 ℃）。③ 东西走向的“三山夹两盆”地貌结构,使新疆LST的纬度地带规律被大幅削弱。研究区各山区（群）LST垂直递减率不尽相同,地处较高纬的阿尔泰山递变（0.63 ℃/100 m）最明显,山体高大的帕喀昆阿山群递变（0.57 ℃/100 m）次之,天山山脉递变（0.54 ℃/100 m）最小。另外各山区（群）山麓处均出现了不同程度的逆温现象,而山腰处LST垂直递减率线性拟合效果最佳。④ 本研究所选取的部分典型城市大都表现出不同程度的热岛效应。其中乌鲁木齐市热岛效应最为强烈,伊宁市其次,哈密市最微弱,而阿克苏市则表现出绿洲城市冷岛效应,但各城市热（冷）岛效应均存在一定环数（8环）范围的冷、热岛足迹。  相似文献

跨越中蒙边境线的戈壁天山断裂带是一条大型左旋走滑断裂带,东西展布约700 km。通过解译分析Landsat ETM卫星遥感影像和SRTM数字高程模型(DEM)数据,对戈壁天山断裂带晚新生代构造活动及其地貌特征进行了研究。结果表明,沿戈壁天山断裂带发育了一系列断层陡坎、系统的水系错位、挤压脊等典型的走滑构造地貌类型。遥感影像解译结果还显示3处系统水系错位,均受戈壁天山断裂左旋走滑运动的影响,表现出系统的左旋水平位错。结合历史地震数据、先存的基底构造和断层系统,本区地震活动性呈现出不可预测性和复杂性。此外,发育在断裂带上的3个大型挤压脊构造中:Karlik Tagh和Gurvan Sayhan就位于走滑断裂的终端,其走滑分量减弱并逐渐转为以逆冲分量为主的构造特征。Nemegt Uul位于2条不连续的走滑断裂的汇合和叠置部位。走滑断层均穿过了挤压脊构造,同时伴随有逆冲作用分量,造成了挤压脊沿走向和垂直走向上的构造地貌生长,显示了是陆内造山带演化的重要过程。  相似文献

Morphology and origin of an evaporitic dome in the eastern Tithonium Chasma, Mars     

Davide Baioni  Forese Carlo Wezel 《Planetary and Space Science》2010,58(5):847-857

A 3.4 km-high, dome-shaped upland in eastern Tithonium Chasma (TC) coincides with areas containing abundant surface signatures of the sulphate mineral kiersite, as identified by the OMEGA image spectrometer. The dome has surface features on its summit, flanks, and at its base that were apparently formed by liquid water released from melting ice. These features include a variety of karst landforms as well as erosive and depositional landforms. The surface of the dome has few impact craters, which suggests a relatively young age for the dome. Rock layers in the dome are laterally continuous but are visibly deformed in some places. The mineralogical and structural characteristics of the dome suggest that it was emplaced as a diapir, similar to many salt diapirs on Earth.  相似文献   

HUMAN MODIFICATION OF KOREAN LANDFORMS FOR GEOMANTIC PURPOSES*     

HONG‐KEY YOON 《Geographical review》2011,101(2):243-260

The geomantic idea of chosan pibo is a particular way of remedying the inadequacies of a geomantic landscape by building small mounds of earth or stones and has been a significant motivation for modifying the environment in Korea. This idea is a part of ancient Chinese geomancy, or feng shui, for determining auspicious sites. Historically, three principal geomantic means have been used to compensate for shortcomings at an auspicious site: building religious structures, such as temples; creating hills, planting trees, or changing directions of watercourses; or making other symbolic gestures, such as naming objects and places. In this article I concentrate on the second, modifying landforms to compensate for the geomantic shortcomings of a place. The quasi‐religious zeal shown by feng shui practitioners in Korea to improve the local geomantic landscape is worthy of comparing and contrasting with the European Christian idea, held by medieval monastic monks, that humanity is a partner of God in improving the environment.  相似文献

在晚白垩世-始新世夷平面基础上,由于断裂作用形成了贝加尔裂谷系。断裂作用最大幅度超过10 km。在裂谷系中心部位发育的断层长度最大、最深、最早,并以准对称形式向四周扩展。贝加尔裂谷系是在地幔隆起和印度-欧亚大陆碰撞双重作用下形成。贝加尔裂谷系与中国东部新生代断陷盆地和汾渭裂谷系同时形成,并有密切的成因联系。它们的形成不仅受太平洋板块的俯冲和印度-欧亚大陆碰撞的制约和影响,而且位于中国西南部的地幔流发散中心,呈扇状向太平洋区流动,可能是它们在更深层次上的共同场源基础。  相似文献
