西藏及其周围地区地壳、地幔地震层析成像——印度板块大规模俯冲于西藏高原之下的证据

文中介绍有关西藏—喜马拉雅碰撞带的一项地震层析成像研究。根据一个用天然地震数据产生的全球波速模型 ,印度板块有可能以近水平状俯冲于整个西藏高原之下至 16 5～ 2 6 0km深度。西藏岩石圈具有低波速地壳和高波速下岩石圈 (75～ 12 0km深 )。在 12 0～ 16 5km深度范围 ,西藏岩石圈与俯冲的印度板块之间有一层低速软流圈物质。高原中部从地表到 310km深处有一低速体 ,说明地幔物质有可能穿过俯冲板块的脆弱部位上隆。这些结果以及野外实测的地壳缩短值说明高原的抬升得助于印度板块的近水平俯冲。我们推论俯冲印度板块的升温上浮以及上覆软流层的存在是造成西藏高原高海拔抬升以及内部地表仍相对平坦的主要原因。2 0 0 1年 1月 2 6日在印度西部发生的毁灭性大地震有可能是俯冲应力在印度板块后缘薄弱处引发的岩石圈大断裂。

Adakitic火成岩对大陆地壳增厚过程的指示:以青藏北部火山岩为例

Adakitic火成岩可以通过几种不同的岩浆作用方式产生,其中下地壳镁铁质岩石的直接部分熔融和拆沉下地壳的部分熔融可能是两种重要的adakitic火成岩形成方式。在一个大陆厚地壳背景,adakitic火成岩的产生指示了它们的岩浆源区位于大于40 km的下地壳之中,因此,暗示该大陆地壳的最小厚度超过40 km。青藏高原腹地的羌塘地区分布有40 Ma左右的“低镁”和“高镁”adakitic安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩,它们应分别是青藏高原厚大陆地壳下部镁铁质岩石直接部分熔融和拆沉的下地壳脱水熔融的产物。这套adakitic火山岩的厘定指示出在40 Ma左右时,青藏羌塘地区或更大范围的大陆地壳已经加厚到超过40 km,其地表在当时或稍后可能已经开始了隆升。     

印度—亚洲大陆主碰撞过程的火山作用响应

广泛发育在西藏冈底斯岩浆岩带中的林子宗火山岩及其与下伏地层间的区域性不整合 ,提供了印度—亚洲大陆碰撞 (在西藏南部 )的构造火成岩新证据。岩石学、主元素、微量元素、稀土元素及Nd Sr Pb同位素地球化学研究表明 ,林子宗火山岩早期带有较多陆缘弧火山岩特征 ,中期开始出现标志陆内岩浆活动的钾玄岩 ,晚期更多地显示了加厚陆壳条件下火山岩的特点 ,记录了由新特提斯俯冲消减末期过渡到印度—亚洲大陆碰撞的信息。系统的40 Ar/3 9Ar同位素测年确定林子宗火山岩的年龄区间为 4 0 .84～ 6 4 .4 7Ma ;其底部年龄给出了林子宗火山岩与下伏地层间不整合形成时间的最晚时限 (～ 6 5Ma)。该不整合面上、下之地层在沉积相、变形样式与变形程度上均截然不同 ,反映形成环境的重大变化 ,标志着一次重大的地质事件。根据上述事实 ,结合青藏高原岩浆活动的区域时空分布 ,及西藏南部地层、古生物与沉积研究成果 ,笔者认为印度—亚洲大陆碰撞开始于 6 5Ma左右(K/T界限时间 )。     

Late Triassic thickening of the Songpan–Ganzi Triassic flysch at the edge of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Growing geologic evidence documents incremental Mesozoic and early Cenozoic shortening and thickening of the Tibetan crust prior to the onset of the main Cenozoic orogenic event. The Tibetan crust shows spatial and temporal variability in thickness, style, and timing of thickening, and in plateau-forming processes. The Songpan–Ganzi area of northeastern Tibet provides evidence for shortening and thickening of the crust in Late Triassic time. An oil exploratory well (HC-1) of 7012.4 m located in the area shows at least six tectonic repetitions, resulting in more than ～46% thickening of the Triassic sequence. It indicates that the true thickness of the Songpan–Ganzi Triassic flysch is not 10–15 km as previously assumed, but not more than 3–5 km. Based on this evidence, combined with prior tectonostratigraphic studies, we propose that substantial crustal shortening and thickening, leading to initial plateau formation in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, had already occurred during the Late Triassic.     

Deep Background of Wenchuan Earthquake and the Upper Crust Structure beneath the Longmen Shan and Adjacent Areas

Abstract: By analyzing the deep seismic sounding profiles across the Longmen Shan, this paper focuses on the study of the relationship between the upper crust structure of the Longmen Shan area and the Wenchuan earthquake. The Longmen Shan thrust belt marks not only the topographical change, but also the lateral velocity variation between the eastern Tibetan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. A low-velocity layer has consistently been found in the crust beneath the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, and ends beneath the western Sichuan Basin. The low-velocity layer at a depth of ~20 km beneath the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau has been considered as the deep condition for favoring energy accumulation that formed the great Wenchuan earthquake.     

西藏西部地区埃达克质侵入岩及铜金找矿意义

本文报道的西藏西部地区中酸性侵入岩,其形成时代为11.8～25Ma,滞后于洋壳俯冲作用,具有高Si02(56.00%～70.62%)、Al2O3(14.23%～16.85%)、K2O(1.74%～4.33%)、Na2O(一般Na2O/K2O>1)、Sr(420～938μg/g),贫Y(7.16～16.0μg/g),低MgO和CaO,富集LILE元素及LREE,亏损HREE等特征,表现出与埃达克岩相似的地球化学特征。结合其形成时代和地质背景分析,其成因与俯冲洋壳熔融无关,而与藏北埃达克质火山岩及中国东部C型埃达克岩成因相似,符合加厚地壳熔融模型。文中指出西藏西部地区埃达克岩的厘定具有重要的地球动力学意义和铜金矿找矿意义。

青藏高原深部地质特征及其形成机制探讨

本文据中-法合作期间的地震广角反射资料阐述了青藏高原的深部地壳结构及构造特征,结合地表地质现象探讨了高原的形成机制。资料表明青藏高原上、下地壳分别增厚一倍左右,最厚处达75km。它是由来自北侧并逐渐向南推挤的强大水平力,使该区地壳与其南部的印度地块相碰并受其阻挡,在经向水平挤压力的长期作用下,该区地壳终于从喜马拉雅运动早期开始,在经向上因地壳片段的褶皱和叠覆而缩短,在垂向上急剧增厚和抬升而形成高原。这是构造力与重力联合作用的结果。

西藏错那-拿日雍错地堑的第四纪正断层作用及其形成机制探讨

青藏高原内部的近东西向伸展变形在藏南地区形成了一系列近南北向裂谷带,对其中最东端的错那-沃卡裂谷带南段错那-拿日雍错地堑调查结果表明,它是第四纪活动明显的半地堑式断陷盆地。控制该盆地发育的主边界断裂带是近南北走向、倾向东侧和长80～110km左右的盆地西缘正断层,是区域内N90°～92°E方向伸展变形的产物。断裂活动速率的多种估算结果表明,该断裂带百万年时间尺度的平均垂直活动速率介于0.2～0.9mm/a之间;MIS 8和MIS 6以来的断裂平均活动速率的合理估计值是0.6±0.2mm/a;但末次冰期盛冰阶以来的断裂平均活动速率明显增加,介于1.0～2.1mm/a之间,合理的估计值为1.3±0.3mm/a,末次冰盛期以来断裂垂直活动速率的增加极可能是该断裂带进入地震丛集期的反映。该地堑近于严格的南北走向及其与当雄-羊八井地堑相似的活动强度,指示了下地壳物质侧向流动所产生的纵向拉张作用最有利于该区近南北向裂谷带的形成。

西藏南部印度-亚洲碰撞带岩石圈: 岩石学-地球化学约束

拟以岩石学和地球化学的研究为基础, 结合地球物理与构造地质学的研究成果, 从一个侧面探讨青藏高原岩石圈、特别是印度-亚洲主碰撞带岩石圈结构、组成及今后进一步的研究方向.印度-亚洲主碰撞带具有青藏高原最厚的地壳, 由初生地壳及再循环地壳两类不同性质的地壳构成; 青藏巨厚地壳是由于构造增厚及地幔物质注入(通过岩浆作用) 增厚两种机制形成的.碰撞以来藏南地壳加厚主要发生在约50~25Ma期间.青藏岩石圈地幔在地球化学和岩石学上是不均一的, 至少存在3种地球化学端元: (1) 新特提斯大洋岩石圈端元; (2) 印度陆下岩石圈端元; (3) 新特提斯闭合前青藏原有的岩石圈端元.在青藏高原还发现了一批壳幔深源岩石包体及高压-超高压矿物, 对于认识青藏深部有重要的意义.可以识别出青藏高原现今存在3种岩石圈结构类型: 第1种, 增厚的岩石圈(帕米尔型); 第2种, 减薄的岩石圈(冈底斯型); 第3种, 加厚-减薄-再加厚的岩石圈(羌塘型).这3类岩石圈是否在时间上具有先后顺序, 尚无明确的证据, 需要在今后加以注意.研究表明, 沿冈底斯带后碰撞钾质-超钾质火山活动, 可能与新特提斯洋俯冲板片在后碰撞阶段的断离及印度大陆岩石圈向青藏的持续俯冲作用有关, 但西段、中段与东段的动力学机制不相同.在青藏高原北部地区(羌塘、可可西里等地区), 后碰撞钾质-超钾质火山活动, 可能与波状外向扩展式的软流圈上隆引起的减压熔融有关.在高原北缘西昆仑、玉门等地区, 其形成机制可能为大规模走滑断层引起的减压熔融.青藏高原后碰撞火成活动具有明显而有规律的时空迁移.同碰撞的林子宗火山活动在65Ma左右始于冈底斯南部, 标志印度-亚洲大陆碰撞的开始.于45Ma左右火山活动向北迁移到羌塘-“三江”北段, 开始了后碰撞火山活动; 然后自内向外迁移, 即北向可可西里、南向冈底斯(在冈底斯内部又自西向东)、东向西秦岭迁移; 最后(6Ma以来), 再分别向高原的西北、东北、东南三隅迁移.结合已有地球物理资料, 一种可能的解释是它可能暗示由印度和亚洲大陆板块碰撞所诱发的深部物质(如中-下地壳、软流圈地幔物质) 流动.      

Lithospheric structure and crust–mantle decoupling in the southeast edge of the Tibetan Plateau

Convergence between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate has resulted in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, and understanding the associated dynamical processes requires investigation of the structures of the crust and the lithosphere of the Tibetan Plateau. Yunnan is located in the southwest edge of the plateau and adjacent to Myanmar to the west. Previous observations have confirmed that there is a sharp transition in mantle anisotropy in this area, as well as clockwise rotations of the surface velocity, surface strain, and fault orientation. We use S receiver functions from 54 permanent broad-band stations to investigate the structures of the crust and the lithosphere beneath Yunnan. The depth of the Moho is found to range from 36 to 40 km beneath southern Yunnan and from 55 to 60 km beneath northwestern Yunnan, with a dramatic variation across latitude 25–26°N. The depth of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) ranges from 180 km to less than 70 km, also varying abruptly across latitude 25–26°N, which is consistent with the sudden change of the fast S-wave direction (from NW–SE to E–W across 26–28°N). In the north of the transition belt, the lithosphere is driven by asthenospheric flow from Tibet, and the crust and the upper mantle are mechanically coupled and moving southward. Because the northeastward movement of the crust in the Burma micro-plate is absorbed by the right-lateral Sagaing Fault, the crust in Yunnan keeps the original southward movement. However, in the south of the transition belt, the northeastward mantle flow from Myanmar and the southward mantle flow from Tibet interact and evolve into an eastward flow (by momentum conservation) as shown by the structure of the LAB. This resulting mantle flow has a direction different from that of the crustal movement. It is concluded that the Sagaing Fault causes the west boundary condition of the crust to be different from that of the lithospheric mantle, thus leading to crust–mantle decoupling in Yunnan.

Electrical conductivity of the plagioclase–NaCl–water system and its implication for the high conductivity anomalies in the mid-lower crust of Tibet Plateau

In order to investigate the origin of the high conductivity anomalies geophysically observed in the mid-lower crust of Tibet Plateau, the electrical conductivity of plagioclase–NaCl–water system was measured at 1.2 GPa and 400–900 K. The relationship between electrical conductivity and temperature follows the Arrhenius law. The bulk conductivity increases with the fluid fraction and salinity, but is almost independent of temperature (activation enthalpy less than 0.1 eV). The conductivity of plagioclase–NaCl–water system is much lower than that of albite–NaCl–water system with similar fluid fraction and salinity, indicating a strong effect of the major mineral phase on the bulk conductivity of the brine-bearing system. The high conductivity anomalies of 10^?1 and 10⁰ S/m observed in the mid-lower crust of Tibet Plateau can be explained by the aqueous fluid with a volume fraction of 1 and 9%, respectively, if the fluid salinity is 25%. The anomaly value of 10^?1 S/m can be explained by the aqueous fluid with a volume fraction of 6% if the salinity is 10%. In case of Southern Tibet where the heat flow is high, the model of a thin layer of brine-bearing aqueous fluid with a high salinity overlying a thick layer of partial melt is most likely to prevail.

西藏过铝花岗岩锆石群型的成因信息

锆石是西藏过铝花岗岩最重要的副矿物,为了探讨过铝花岗岩的成因,对西藏过铝花岗岩体中的锆石含量、晶体形态和群型分布特征进行了研究,结果表明,可明显分出5种锆石晶体形态;锆石主要在过铝环境条件下,岩浆结晶温度较低时形成,结晶范围为600～900℃,其中冈底斯带结晶温度高于喜马拉雅带。不同构造-岩浆带锆石群型特征反映的成因信息不同,喜马拉雅带为壳源成因,而冈底斯带除了壳源成因之外,还有幔源成分的加入,反映了青藏高原岩石圈组成和演化的不均一性。     

藏南错戳龙高湖面阶地的形成时间及相应的古降水量的计算

利用原地生成宇宙成因核素确定了藏南错戳龙的高湖面阶地的形成时间为3.4～3.6kaB.P.。在3.4～3.6kaB.P.之前,错戳龙是外泄的;在3.4～3.6kaB.P.期间,错戳龙的湖水维持在较高水平,降水和蒸发在高湖面保持着平衡;之后随着气温下降,季风减弱,湖泊不断退缩,至今湖面已下降了120m。利用J.E.Kutzbach水能联合方程,对错戳龙高湖面时的降水量进行了计算,结果显示错戳龙在3.4～3.6kaB.P.时年降水量约为530±10mm,之后随着印度季风强度的大幅降低,错戳龙的年降水量至今为320mm,下降了200mm/a。这一结果表明随着全球升温,印度季风将会明显增强,印度季风影响区域的降水也将会显著增加。
