Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough

Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea （NECS） shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous,and lower in High Field Strength Elements （HFSE）.These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements （LILE）,thorium and uranium contents,positive lead anomalies,negative Nb-Ta anomalies,and enrichment in Light Rare Earth Elements （LREE）.Basalts from the NECS shelf margin are akin to Indian Ocean Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt （MORB）,and rhyolites from the northern Okinawa Trough have the highest 207 Pb/ 204 Pb and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb ratios.The NECS shelf margin basalts have lower 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios,ε N d and σ 18 O than the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks.According to 40 K– 40 Ar isotopic ages of basalts from the NECS shelf margin,rifting of the Okinawa Trough may have been active since at least 3.65–3.86 Ma.The origin of the NECS shelf margin basalt can be explained by the interaction of melt derived from Indian Ocean MORB-like mantle with enriched subcontinental lithosphere.The basalts from both sides of the Okinawa Trough may have a similar origin during the initial rifting of the Okinawa Trough,and the formation of basaltic magmas closely relates to the thinning of continental crust.The source of the formation of the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks was different from that of the middle Okinawa Trough,which could have been generated by the interaction of basaltic melt with an enriched crustal component.From the Ryukyu island arc to East China,the Cenozoic basalts have apparently increasing trends of MgO contents and ratios of LREE to Heavy Rare Earth Elements （HREE）,suggesting that the trace element variabilities of basalts may have been influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate,and that the effects of subduction of the Philippine Sea plate on the chemical composition of basaltic melts have had a decreasing effect from the Ryukyu island arc to East China.

Tectonic Development of the Proterozoic Continental Margins in East Qinling and Adjacent Regions

The East Qinling and adjacent cratonic regions belong to two geotectonic units, the Sinokorean Subdomain including the Sinokorean Platform and its southern continental margin the North Qinling Belt, and the Yangtzean Subdomain comprising the Yangtze Platform and its northern continental margin the South Qinling Belt .The Qinling region may thus be subdivided into two continental margin belts separated from each other by the Proterozoic Qinling marine realm , which did not disappear until Late Triassic . The convergent crustal consumption zone ,the megasuture between the two belts ,lies between the Fengxian Shangnan line in the north and the Shanyang Xijia line in the south and was much deformed and displaced through Mesozoic intracratonic collision and compression.In the northern subdomain the Lower Proterozoic is represented by protoaulacogen volcano-sediments , the inner Tiedonggou Group and the outer marginal Qinling Group , which were folded and metamorphosed in the Luliangian orogeny ,a general process of aggregation and stabilization of the Early Proterozoic mobile belts between and around the Archaean nuclei. Genuine aulacogen occurred in the Middle Proterozoic and was represented by the Xionger rift volcanics . The Middle and Upper Proterozoic comprise the inner Guandaokou shelf sediments and the outer extensional' back- arc' Kuanping Group behind the Qinling island chain . Oceanic subduction from the south of the Qinling arc representing the Jinningian orogeny caused the folding of the Mid dle and Upper Proterozoic and emplacement of island arc-continent collision type of granite . After the Jinningian orogeny Late Sinian glacigene deposits formed the platform cover and the Erlangping back arc basin began to develop on the northern slope of the Qinling arc .In South Qinling the Lower Proterozoic Tongbe Group was probably an original marginal part of the Yangtze Platform . The passive margin began rifting in Middle Proterozoic with the formation of the inner Shennongjia aulacogen and the outer marginal Wudang aulacogen. Deformation of the Wudang and Douling groups indicating Jinningian Movement seemed to have been caused by a southward compression of the Tongbe Massif. Resumed rifting in the Sinian evidenced by the sedimentary facies pattern caused the northward separation of the Douling Massif, which formed part of the Fuping-Zhenan island chain , the northern boundary of the South Qinling Belt. In the western part of South Qinling , in the Hanzhong region , the Middle and Upper Proterozoic are represented by the Huodiya shelf sediments and the Xixiang marginal volcano sedimentaries , The Jinningian orogeny is well represented by the deformed Xixiang Group and the subduction pattern of magmatism from north to south in the Beiba area . It seems that the genuine arc-basin system in the continental margin and the aulacogen in the inner part of the platform began in the Middle Proterozoic (1800 Ma), which marks the beginning of a new tectonic megastage in lithosphere evolution.

Inversion of two-phase extensional basin systems during subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate in the SW Korean Peninsula:Implication for the Mesozoic “Laramide-style” orogeny along East Asian continental margin

During subduction, continental margins experience shortening along with inversion of extensional sedimentary basins. Here we explore a tectonic scenario for the inversion of two-phase extensional basin systems, where the Early-Middle Jurassic intra-arc volcano-sedimentary Oseosan Volcanic Complex was developed on top of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic post-collisional sequences, namely the Chungnam Basin. The basin shortening was accommodated mostly by contractional faults and related folds. In the basement, regional high-angle reverse faults as well as low-angle thrusts accommodate the overall shortening, and are compatible with those preserved in the cover. This suggests that their spatial and temporal development is strongly dependent on the initial basin geometry and inherited structures.Changes in transport direction observed along the basement-sedimentary cover interface is a characteristic structural feature, reflecting sequential kinematic evolution during basin inversion. Propagation of basement faults also enhanced shortening of the overlying sedimentary cover sequences. We constrain timing of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous(ca. 158-110 Ma) inversion from altered K-feldspar 40 Ar/39 Ar ages in stacked thrust sheets and K-Ar illite ages of fault gouges, along with previously reported geochronological data from the area. This "non-magmatic phase" of the Daebo Orogeny is contemporaneous with the timing of magmatic quiescence across the Korean Peninsula. We propose the role of flat/low-angle subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate for the development of the "Laramide-style" basement-involved orogenic event along East Asian continental margin.

Latitudinal and interannual variations of the spring phytoplankton bloom peak in the East Asian marginal seas

Combined studies of latitudinal and interannual variations of annual phytoplankton bloom peak in East Asian marginal seas(17°–58°N, including the northern South China Sea(SCS), Kuroshio waters, the Sea of Japan and the Okhotsk Sea) are rarely. Based on satellite-retrieved ten-year(2003–2012) median timing of the annual Chlorophyll a concentration(Chl a) climax, here we report that this annual spring bloom peak generally delays from the SCS in January to the Okhotsk Sea in June at a rate of(21.20±2.86) km/d(decadal median±SD). Spring bloom is dominant feature of the phytoplankton annual cycle over these regions, except for the SCS which features winter bloom. The fluctuation of the annual peak timing is mainly within ±48 d departured from the decadal median peak date, therefore this period(the decadal median peak date ±48 d) is defined as annual spring bloom period. As sea surface temperature rises, earlier spring bloom peak timing but decreasing averaged Chl a biomass in the spring bloom period due to insufficient light is evident in the Okhotsk Sea from 2003 to 2012. For the rest of three study domains, there are no significant interannual variance trend of the peak timing and the averaged Chl a biomass. Furthermore this change of spring phytoplankton bloom timing and magnitude in the Okhotsk Sea challenges previous prediction that ocean warming would enhance algal productivity at high latitudes.

EAST ASIA MARGINAL BASINS SEDIMEN-TOGENESIS FEATURES

The alternations of sedimentogenic and asedimentogenic belts on the continental shelf and slope are distinctive features in the East Asia marginal basins.These sedimentogenesis characteristics areconditioned by the terrigenous material supply and their distribution patterns. Facial analysis of the marginal basins reveals a number of typical facial models which are comparablewith the geosynclinal and subplatform formations of the ancient basins. The paragenetical situation and simultaneous coexistence of these facial models in the modern margi-nal seas indicate that the ancient formation could be deposited in the same way,at the same time andeven in the same basin.

Application of Geoid Anomalies to the Tectonic Research in the East Asian Continental Margin

In this paper, we calculated multi-scale residual geoid anomalies with the method of geoid separation processing, according to EGM2008 ultra-high order gravity field model, remove-restore technique and Stokes integral. The East Asian continental margin was selected as the study area. The residual geoid anomalies have been calculated by programming. On the basis of residual geoid anomalies at various orders, the interlayer geoid anomalies at different depths were calculated to depict the spatial distribution characteristics of the residual geoid. Finally, we conducted a detailed geophysical interpretation for the study area according to the geoid anomalies in combination with other geophysical datasets. Four conclusions can be outlined as follows: 1) it is impracticable that geoid anomalies are used in the interpretation of the shallow objects due to the influence of the terrain; 2) the anomalies of residual geoid can reflect the intensity of small-scale mantle convection in the asthenosphere; 3) the interlayer geoid anomalies can reflect the magmatic activities associated with the mantle convection and mantle plume in different scales; 4) the study of the geoid may provide an approach for the research of the subduction zone, mantle convection and mantle plume.

Investigating internal waves east of the Hainan Island using optical satellite remote sensing data

Marginal water east of the Hainan Island is where internal waves occur frequently. Few studies have been conducted on these internal waves so far, and their formation mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the author uses the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite data (CBERS) to detect and calculate the distribution, direction, wavelength and amplitude of internal waves in this area. The results show that the direction of these internal waves is offshore and their wavelength is about 150-200 m. The internal waves can be postulated as formed by upwelling or reversed tide.

A quantitative research for present-time crustal motion in Fujian Province, China and its marginal sea── Synthetical analysis of GPS measurement, fault deformation survey, leveling and focal mechanism solution

Based on the Chinese mainland GPS network (1994~1996), Fujian GPS network (1995~1997), cross fault deformation network (1982-1998), precise leveling network (1973~1980) and focal mechanism solutions of the recent several tens years, we synthetically and quantitatively studied the present-time crustal motion of the southeast coast of Chinese mainland-Fujian and its marginal sea. We find that this area with its mainland together moves toward SE with a rather constant velocity of 11 .2±3.0 mm/a. At the same time, there is a motion from the Quanzhou bay pointing to hinterland, with a major orientation of NW, extending toward two sides, and with an average velocity of 3.0±2.6 mm/a. The faults orienting NE show compressing motions, and the ones orienting NW show extending motions. The present-time strain field derived from crustal deformation is consistent with seismic stress field derived from the focal mechanism solutions and the tectonic stress field derived from geology data. The principal stress of compression orients NW (NWW) - SE (SEE). Demarcated by the NW orienting faults of the Quanzhou bay and Jinjiang-Yongan, the crustal motions show regional characteristics f the southwest of Fujian and the boundary of Fujian and Guangdong are areas of rising, the northeast of Fujian are areas of sinking. The horizontal strain rate and the fault motion of the former are both greater than the later. The side-transferring motion of Hymalaya collision zone and the compression of the west pacific subduction zone affect the motion of the research area. The amount of motion affected by the former is larger than the later, but the former is homogeneous and the later is not, which indicates that the events of strong earthquakes in this region relate more directly with western pacific subduction zone.

南海的右行陆缘裂解成因

南海成因是西太平洋边缘海动力学研究的重要部分,也关系到特提斯、环太平洋两大超级会聚带的相互作用,是国内外地学界长期研究的热点问题。西太平洋边缘海内带,尤其是日本海和南海在形成时代、海盆形态和海底地貌、海底扩张的多轴、多阶段、由东向西扩展特征、岩石圈地慢的地球化学异常等方面具有共同特征,可能在成因上也相似。南海的海盆的楔形形状、海底扩张及陆架盆地的断陷的由北向南发展和自东向西推进的特征、地壳伸展减薄和海底扩张程度的由东向西减弱都可用尖端向西的“剪刀模型”来描述,即南海的张开是近南北向右行剪切力作用下东亚陆缘发生裂解的结果。南海张开的同时在海盆内及其西缘印支半岛上发育大量近南北向右行走滑断裂,表明当时存在区域性的近南北向右行剪切应力;而在其东缘现在看不到大型近南北向右行走滑断裂,可能是在中中新世以后受从赤道附近滑移北上并沿马尼拉海沟仰冲的菲律宾群岛所破坏的结果。晚中生代以来,在西太平洋构造域、特提斯构造域西段(印度)及东段(澳大利亚)先后发生了朝欧亚大陆的、不同方向和速度的会聚。在这三大作用的复合和竞争的动力学背景下,东亚陆缘发生了有地幔参加传动的“超级剪切”,其应力场经历了左行压扭体制和右行张扭体制交替的阶段性变化。

东亚及其大陆边缘新生代构造迁移与盆地演化

构造迁移是盆地发展演化过程中十分普遍的地质现象,但西太平洋地区相关研究程度较低,本文基于近10年来对中国东部海域渤海湾盆地、南黄海盆地、东海陆架盆地和南海盆地等所开展的大量研究工作,并综合前人研究成果,对西太平洋地区中最具有代表性的中国东部及邻近海域的新生代构造迁移特征进行了系统讨论。西太平洋活动大陆边缘位于欧亚、太平洋和印度三大板块的交汇处,占据了全球板块汇聚中心的独特位置,并同时受到印度板块的挤入、太平洋板块的后退式俯冲、台湾造山带的楔入的联合作用,自新生代以来,形成了宽阔的自西向东后退式的沟弧盆体系。中国东部及邻区作为西太平活动大陆边缘的重要组成部分,在这个大地构造背景下,新生代的构造特征总体也表现出自西向东的迁移规律,具体表现在盆地的断裂活动性、沉积作用、断陷的萎缩与消亡等自西向东变新逐步演化,新生代的生、储、盖、圈、运、保六大油气成藏要素也表现出西早东晚、自西向东迁移的特征。这种成藏规律的识别对于中国东部油气、天然气水合物勘探具有非常重要的指导意义。最后,从板缘、板内和板下过程和机制,探讨了盆内和盆间的新生代构造迁移机制,这种构造-岩浆-成盆-成藏等的向洋变新迁移和跃迁是晚中生代以来挤出构造和新生代北西向壳内伸展、印度和欧亚板块碰撞诱发的软流圈向东流动的远程效应及太平洋俯冲带的跃迁式东撤的联合效应。

东亚大陆边缘的板块重建与构造转换

东亚大陆边缘中新生代期间的动力学演化始终是地质研究的难点和热点,特别是对其大陆边缘性质、类型和演化过程始终不明朗,并存在巨大争论。系统综述了40多年来已有东亚大陆边缘二叠纪以来板块重建的主要方案,特别是近10年来东亚陆缘新的研究成果,侧重探讨了晚三叠世以来东亚大陆边缘类型转换、不同构造域的交接—转换过程。认为东亚陆缘总体经历了三叠纪前的被动陆缘阶段、晚三叠世—早白垩世的大陆岩浆弧发育的安第斯型活动陆缘阶段、早白垩世晚期—始新世的走滑拉分盆地发育的安第斯型活动陆缘阶段和渐新世以来的日本型活动大陆边缘阶段。这对于认识中国东部海域渤海湾、黄海、东海和南海盆地成因具有指导意义。同时,分析了各阶段海—陆分布特征及其变迁规律、板块格局变动过程及其动力学背景。

中国东部中一新生代活动大陆边缘构造-岩浆作用演化和发展

本文论述中国东部中－新生代由科迪勒拉型转变为西太平洋活动大陆边缘过程中的构造－岩浆作用及其演化。在印支旋回（２５０～１８５Ｍａ），初始欧亚板块与古太平洋板块强烈挤压俯冲，并伴随大范围改造型花岗岩类的发育。在燕山早期（１８５～１４０Ｍａ），继续俯冲，改造型花岗岩进一步发育，并开始有同熔型花岗岩类的形成。在约１４０Ｍａ两类花岗岩的形成达到高潮。在１４０～１００Ｍａ广泛发育安山－流纹岩系。燕山晚期（１００～７０Ｍａ）由于弧后扩张，配合红色盆地的广泛形成，发育碱性火山岩和碱性花岗岩带．新生代中国东部大陆花岗岩和中－酸性火山岩活动消失，代之以玄武岩活动；边缘海和岛弧逐渐形成，钙碱性火山岩系转入岛弧地带。

吐哈盆地东缘泥盆纪花岗岩的确定及其地质意义

通过对吐哈盆地东缘四顶黑山超单元中的黑云母花岗岩进行锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年,获得(386±5)Ma(MSWD=1.01)的206Pb/238U表面年龄。根据该岩体的岩石学和锆石的矿物学特征,将此年龄解释为该岩体的侵位年龄。根据这一定年结果和该花岗岩与围岩(被当地地质工作者归入古元古代星星峡群的变质岩)具有相同的构造变形特征,结合已有的年代学、岩石化学和相关地质资料,可以得出如下初步结论:①吐哈盆地东缘与南缘为同一古生代活动陆缘的不同部分,其形成演化与以康古尔塔格碰撞带中洋壳残片为代表的古洋岩石圈板块向西伯利亚古板块之下的俯冲有关;②吐哈盆地东缘以近东西走向、向南倾斜的片理或片麻理为特征的变质变形事件发生在386Ma以后。
