| 摘 要： | 一、样品1981年我所颜其德同志在南极莫森站北面海区和戴维斯站基岩砂滩及其以北的普里兹湾采集了共11个站位的沉积物样品,它们分布在南纬66°-68°区间,其中水下7个,滩面4个,见图1。南极洲除少数山峰和岩石出露外,98%面积终年为冰川所覆盖,冰盖厚度可达数千米。地质环境特殊,气候严寒干燥,常有暴风袭击。化学作用微弱,而物理作用,特别是冰川作用显著。本文通过对普里兹湾石英砂表面微结构的分析,了解极地洋区典型的石英砂微形态的类型以及与此相适应的沉积环境和塑造这种形态的机械的、物理的和化学的因素。

| Abstract: | Owing to specific geological environment the surface of quartz sand in Antarctica has a distinguishing microstructure, which has not been found in any low-latitude ocean areas and continental shelves. In this paper, by analyzing the microstructure of quartz sand surface of the Prydz Bay, we try to know the distinguishing characteristics of quartz sand surface, corresponding sedimentary environment, and the mechanical,physical and chemical factors. Our observation of several hundred electron micrographes of quartz sand indicates that on the surface of quartz sand, there are not only common collision pits and silica deposits, but also the forms which are peculiar in the Antarctic ocean area, such as widely-developed step fractures, big con-choidal fractures, glacial striae, etc. The distributions of these microstruc-t ure types are controlled strictly by the concrete and special environments. According to the regularity reflected by the mentioned-above surface mic-rostructure types, the rounded degree of the quartz sand, and features of detrital mineral associations and distributions, the collection area can be divided into two sedimentary environments, underwater area and beach area. The former can also be divided into the east sub-region and the west sub-region The factors affecting the quartz sand surface forms in the beach area are mainly the physical weathering and glacial compression action under the condition of severe cold and arid climate. So on the sand surface occur a large number of irregular fractures, conchoidal fractures and step fractures. The edges and corners of most grains are sharp, and the rounded grains are found unfrequently. The Prydz Bay is in an environment of deep sea basin. Great flow-ices occur on the ocean surface in winter, and most of them melt in summer. The sediments at the ocean bottom derive mainly from the weathered rocks of land, which are washed by ice-water, and the fragments carried by glacial. The area are affected by five water masses. They are the superficial water in the summer, the Antarctic water in the winter, the plutonic water round the Antarctica, the bottom water of Antarctica and ice shelf water. These water masses, circulations and waves provide dynamic factors for the carrying, striking and rubbing of sediments. As a result, the forms of quartz sand surface have not only the features found in the beach area, but also peculiar glacial striae in the high-latitude area. In addition, the V-shaped dissolution pits of directional arrangement can be found. Compared with the beach area, this area has more rounded grains. This paper also centres on the time sequence of the exogenic force actions which result in the overlapping of the imprints on quartz sand surface. |
