The Late Cenozoic red earth deposits of the Liupan Shan record its tectonic history and environmental effects. In this article we report a new Late Cenozoic red earth section from an intermontane basin in the southern part of the Liupan Shan. Lithofacies analysis, paleomagnetic and fission-track chronologies, and paleocurrent analysis have been employed to identi- fy the tectonic uplift events of the Liupan Shan. Based on the age constraints of mammal fossils, the pa- leomagnetic polarity zones of the Huating （华亭） Section can be approximately correlated with the standard polarity zones that lie between C3An.2n and C5n.ln of the Geomagnetic Polar- ity Timescale; the bottom age of this section is approximately 10 Ma. Based on this and the previous studies, we infer that a tectonic event commenced in the southern Liupan Shan in this interval between 8.3 and 8.7 Ma, accompanied by a remarkable increase in sediment accumulation rate. Field observations, fission-track dating, determinations of grain-size frequency distribu- tions and the vertebrate fossils found there suggest that the red earth deposits were reworked by water and mainly transported by fluvial-alluvial processes from the adjacent area.展开更多

The red bed/clay sediments became to accumulate at around 8.1 MaBP, which implied that the plantation surface developed since Late Cretaceous was broken by active fault, and its development was terminated. The Liupan Shan began to slightly uplift. The Liupan Shan experienced a small-scale uplift around 5.2 MaBP, inferred from the appearance of fine gravel sediments at that time. Consequently, a pediment was developed. The Liupan Shan accelerated uplift since about 3.8 MaBP at a large scale, which caused the deep incision of the rivers and the termination of fluvial and lacustrine deposition. Meanwhile, typical eolian red clay appeared since then. This uplift process is well correlated and in response to that of the Tibetan Plateau and the mountains around it.展开更多

文摘2014年8月跨越六盘山东麓断裂带,在长度约为200公里的剖面上展开了流动重力/GPS联合剖面观测.观测结果表明,测线东端的布格重力异常约为-190 m Gal(10^(-5)ms^(-2)),西端则为-250 m Gal左右.在假设地壳均一的前提下,基于Airy均衡模型,利用布格重力异常和GPS观测数据,分别计算了测线所在剖面的莫霍面深度与均衡面深度,发现六盘山地区处于正均衡异常状态.使用布格重力异常数据反演六盘山地区的地壳密度结构,并据此地壳分层结构,计算了六盘山地区均衡面与莫霍面深度,对比显示该区域亦处于均衡正异常状态.为了确定青藏高原东北缘岩石圈有效弹性厚度和六盘山隆升机制,我们利用EMG2008自由空气异常和SRTM V18.1 DEM数据,使用自由空气重力异常导纳方法,研究了以六盘山地区为中心的青藏高原东北缘岩石圈有效弹性厚度(Te)和加载机制,发现六盘山地区的Te为5 km,岩石圈加载主要来自于地表,占总加载的95%.最后,对比六盘山地区Airy均衡异常与弹性板均衡异常,发现六盘山东麓断层处地壳承载梯度值最大,表明该断裂带吸收了较多的应变能.
