The structure of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 5°S was investigated during a recent cruise with the FS Meteor. A major dextral transform fault (hereafter the 5°S FZ) offsets the ridge left-laterally by 80 km. Just south of the transform and to the west of the median valley, the inside corner (IC – the region bounded by the ridge and the active transform) is marked by a major massif, characterized by a corrugated upper surface. Fossil IC massifs can also be identified further to the west. Unusually, a massif almost as high as the IC massif also characterizes the outside corner (OC) south of the inactive fracture zone and to the east of the median valley. This OC massif has axis-parallel dimensions identical to the IC massif and both are bounded on their sides closest to the spreading axis by abrupt, steep slopes. An axial volcanic ridge is well developed in the median valley both south of the IC/OC massifs and in an abandoned rift valley to the east of the OC massif, but is absent along the new ridge-axis segment between the IC and OC massifs. Wide-angle seismic data show that between the massifs, the crust of the median valley thins markedly towards the FZ. These observations are consistent with the formation of the OC massif by the rifting of an IC core complex and the development of a new spreading centre between the IC and OC massifs. The split IC massif presents an opportunity to study the internal structure of the footwall of a detachment fault, from the corrugated fault surface to deeper beneath the fault, without recourse to drilling. Preliminary dredging recovered gabbros from the scarp slope of the rifted IC massif, and serpentinites and gabbros from the intersection of this scarp with the corrugated surface. This is compatible with a concentration of serpentinites along the detachment surface, even where the massif internally is largely plutonic in nature. 相似文献

The Jan Mayen microcontinent was as a result of two major North Atlantic evolutionary cornerstones—the separation of Greenland
from Norway (~54 Ma), accompanied by voluminous volcanic activity, and the jump of spreading from the Aegir to the Kolbeinsey
ridge (~33 Ma), which resulted in the separation of the microcontinent itself from Eastern Greenland (~24 Ma). The resulting
eastern and western sides of the Jan Mayen microcontinent are respectively volcanic and non-volcanic rifted margins. Until
now the northern boundary of the microcontinent was not precisely known. In order to locate this boundary, two combined refraction
and reflection seismic profiles were acquired in 2006: one trending S–N and consisting of two separate segments south and
north of the island of Jan Mayen respectively, and the second one trending SW–NE east of the island. Crustal P-wave velocity
models were derived and constrained using gravity data collected during the same expedition. North of the West Jan Mayen Fracture
Zone (WJMFZ) the models show oceanic crust that thickens from west to east. This thickening is explained by an increase in
volcanic activity expressed as a bathymetric high and most likely related to the proximity of the Mohn ridge. East of the
island and south of the WJMFZ, oceanic Layers 2 and 3 have normal seismic velocities but above normal average crustal thickness
(~11 km). The similarity of the crustal thickness and seismic velocities to those observed on the conjugate M?re margin confirm
the volcanic origin of the eastern side of the microcontinent. Thick continental crust is observed in the southern parts of
both profiles. The northern boundary of the microcontinent is a continuation of the northern lineament of the East Jan Mayen
Fracture Zone. It is thus located farther north than previously assumed. The crust in the middle parts of both models, around
Jan Mayen island, is more enigmatic as the data suggest two possible interpretations—Icelandic type of oceanic crust or thinned
and heavily intruded continental crust. We prefer the first interpretation but the latter cannot be completely ruled out.
We infer that the volcanism on Jan Mayen is related to the Icelandic plume. 相似文献

In March and April 1995 a cooperative German, Costa Rican, and United States research team recorded onshore-offshore seismic data sets along the Pacific margin of Costa Rica using the R/V Ewing. Off the Nicoya Peninsula we used a linear array of ocean bottom seismometers and hydrophones (OBS/H) with onshore seismometers extending across much of the isthmus. In the central area we deployed an OBS/H areal array consisting of 30 instruments over a 9 km by 35-km area and had land stations on the Nicoya Peninsula adjacent to this marine array and also extending northeast on the main Costa Rican landmass. Our goal in these experiments was to determine the crustal velocity structure along different portions of this convergent margin and to use the dense instrument deployments to create migrated reflection images of the plate boundary zone and the subducting Cocos Plate. Our specific goal in the central area was to determine whether a subducted seamount is present at the location of the 1990, M 7 earthquake off the Nicoya Peninsula and can thus be linked to its nucleation. Subsequently we have processed the data to improve reflection signals, used the data to calculate crustal velocity models, and developed several wide-aperture migration techniques, based on a Kirchhoff algorithm, to produce reflection images. Along the northern transect we used the ocean bottom data to construct a detailed crustal velocity model, but reflections from the plate boundary and top and bottom of the subducting Cocos plate are difficult to identify and have so far produced poor images. In contrast, the land stations along this same transect recorded clear reflections from the top of the subducting plate or plate boundary, within the seismogenic zone, and we have constructed a clear image from this reflector beneath the Nicoya shelf. Data from the 3-D seismic experiment suffer from high-amplitude, coherent noise (arrivals other than reflections), and we have tried many techniques to enhance the signal to noise ratio of reflected arrivals. Due to the noise, an apparent lack of strong reflections from the plate boundary zone, and probable structural complexity, the resulting 3-D images only poorly resolve the top of the subducting Cocos Plate. The images are not able to provide compelling evidence of whether there is a subducting seamount at the 1990 earthquake hypocenter. Our results do show that OBS surveys are capable of creating images of the plate boundary zone and the subducting plate well into the seismogenic zone if coherent reflections are recorded at 1.8 km instrument spacing (2-D) and 5 km inline by 1 km crossline spacing for 3-D acquisition. However, due to typical high amplitude coherent noise, imaging results may be poorer than expected, especially in unfavorable geologic settings such as our 3-D survey area. More effective noise reduction in acquisition, possibly with the use of vertical hydrophone arrays, and in processing, with advanced multiple removal and possibly depth filtering, is required to achieve the desired detailed images of the seismogenic plate boundary zone. 相似文献

Accurate hypocentre determination in the seismogenic zone of the subducting Nazca Plate in northern Chile using a combined on-/offshore network 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The coupled plate interface of subduction zones—commonly called the seismogenic zone—has been recognized as the origin of fatal earthquakes. A subset of the after-shock series of the great Antofagasta thrust-type event (1995 July 30; M w = 8.0) has been used to study the extent of the seismogenic zone in northern Chile. To achieve reliable and precise hypocentre locations we applied the concept of the minimum 1-D model, which incorporates iterative simultaneous inversion of velocity and hypocentre parameters. The minimum 1-D model is complemented by station corrections which are influenced by near-surface velocity heterogeneity and by the individual station elevations. By relocating mine blasts, which were not included in the inversion, we obtain absolute location errors of 1 km in epicentre and 2 km in focal depth. A study of the resolution parameters ALE and DSPR documents the importance of offshore stations on location accuracy for offshore events. Based on precisely determined hypo-centres we calculate a depth of 46 km for the lower limit of the seismogenic zone, which is in good agreement with previous studies for this area. For the upper limit we found a depth of 20 km. Our results of an aseismic zone between the upper limit of the seismogenic zone and the surface correlates with a detachment zone proposed by other studies; the results are also in agreement with thermal studies for the Antofagasta forearc region. 相似文献

南海西北部莺歌海盆地低速层的特征及其成因探讨 总被引：6，自引：1，他引：6
对垂直于莺歌海盆地走向的两条广角反射地震剖面数据的模拟结果表明，莺歌海盆地在3.5-9km深度范围存在低速层，对多道反射地震数据及钻孔测井数据的进一步分析表明，该低速层的上界面埋深从盆地中心的1.5km往周变为5km，表现出明显的穿时性，包含的地层在盆地中心地带有部分第四系和第三系，往北西和南东只有部分第三系，没有第四系，低速层形成的原因在盆地不同部位有所差异；盆地的西北和东南部主要由沉积物快速堆积及其引起的欠压实造成而盆地中心地带则除沉积物快速堆积外，多期的活动热流体及其底辟作用可能是造成低速层上界面抬升的主要原因。 相似文献

The Ninetyeast Ridge is a well-studied hot spot trail in the Indian Ocean. A recent geophysical survey in its central portion
near 17° S included Hydrosweep bathymetric mapping, Parasound echosounder profiles, and high resolution seismic reflection
data. These data reveal a number of small cones of a few hundreds of meters in diameter and up to 200 m height. Seismic evidence
exists regarding a magmatic origin of these features. Different events of basaltic flow and tuff deposition intercalated with
hemipelagic oozes of Eocene to present age, as being known from nearby drilling, allow dating of these latest stages of volcanic
activity. An activity of at least 6 Ma longer than termination of the dominant constructional phase of the ridge can be demonstrated.
These eruptions occur at shallow water depth, and seem to be related to tectonic lineaments in the area. Transtensional stresses
together with a more durable magmatic source beneath this part of the ridge allow magma to ascend along pull-apart structures.
The age discrepancy found calls for special attention when trying to reconstruct global plate motions.
