Formation and Evolution of the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic Ruo'ergai Basin,Northeastern Margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Middle Triassic Ladinian-Upper Triassic Norian series in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Ruo’ergai basin of Songpan area is characterized of large thick shallow marine-deep marine fine grained clastic.The strata are regionally unconformable between each adjacent two of the Middle-Late Triassic fine grained clastic,the Jurassic coal-containing clastic,the Cretaceous-Paleogene variegated coarse clastic。

The Present Space-Time Motion and Deformation Features of the Northeastern Margin of the Qinghai-Xizang(Tibet) Block and Its Adjacent Area

On the basis of Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA), and considering the moderate intrusion of specific block boundaries to different extents, the first-order block motion model is established for the northeastern margin of Qinghai-Xizang(Tibet) block and the kinematical model for depicting deformation of small regions as well by using GPS observations of three periods (1991, 1999 and 2001). By simulating, we obtained the motion features of the first-order blocks between the large WWN faults on the sides of the studied region, the distribution features of the principal strain rate field and the inhomogeneous motion features with space-time of the faults in the northern boundary of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) block.

华北克拉通中西部及周边地区瑞利面波相速度方位各向异性

利用“中国科学台阵探测”项目的密集流动台站以及区域固定台站的地震面波记录,采用程函面波成像方法,得到了华北克拉通中西部及周边地区14~100 s周期高分辨率的瑞利面波相速度方位各向异性分布图像.结果显示,鄂尔多斯块体内部中长周期(20~100 s)为大范围高速和弱各向异性分布特征,但在块体西南部区域各向异性明显增强,向东可一直延伸至108°E附近.我们认为,受青藏高原影响,鄂尔多斯块体西南部岩石圈已发生明显变形,高原扩张对鄂尔多斯块体的影响超出了止于六盘山逆冲推覆带的传统认识.在鄂尔多斯块体内部,长周期(80~100 s)的相速度显示高速区向中部和东南部区域收缩,各向异性强度在高速区外围明显增强,揭示了块体边界带的岩石圈在后期构造活动过程中已遭受不同程度的变形改造,厚度发生了不同程度的减薄.山西断陷带北部大同火山区附近,在20 s以上周期为显著低速异常,不同周期段各向异性存在明显差异,我们推测该区不同深度的各向异性差异与鄂尔多斯块体东北部岩石圈不同深度的几何形态以及青藏高原远程挤压效应有关.山西断陷带中南部区域,在20~60 s周期显示高速和近EW向快波方向,与鄂尔多斯块体中东部高速区具有较好的连续性,认为该区岩石圈仍保留部分原有华北克拉通岩石圈的属性.青藏高原东北缘地区不同周期相速度表现为明显的低速异常,快波方向呈现较为一致的NWW-SEE向分布特征,揭示了在高原下方壳幔介质变形连续一致,符合岩石圈垂直连贯变形模式.

2023年12月18日甘肃省积石山6.2级地震的控震构造及特征

2023年12月18日23时59分在甘肃省临夏州积石山县发生6.2级地震,造成了严重人员伤亡,及时了解此次地震的发震构造及其特征,对于分析区域未来强震危险性具有重要意义。综合区域地震构造、地质、震源机制、地震烈度和余震重定位等资料,对此次地震的控震构造及特征进行综合分析后认为,此次强震是发生在西宁—兰州断块内部的一次北北西向逆冲断层作用事件,距震中最近的拉脊山逆冲断裂带构成了此次地震的控震构造。该断裂带处于北西向日月山右旋走滑断层与北西西向西秦岭北缘左旋走滑断层交汇部位,整体呈北西至北北西向弧形展布,包含了南缘与北缘两条倾向相反的分支断裂带。震中位置、余震及烈度分布等数据指示此次地震的具体发震断层为拉脊山北缘逆冲断裂带南段的东支断层带,余震分布和极震区范围等符合逆断层型地震的上盘效应特征,但是否引起同震地表变形,还需进一步的现场调查确定。综合研究认为,此次积石山地震是在印度与欧亚板块持续陆陆碰撞作用下,青藏高原东北缘的西宁—兰州断块沿海原左旋走滑断裂向东侧向滑移过程中,在北东向挤压构造应力场下,引发日月山断层与西秦岭北缘断层构成的区域共扼走滑断裂系交汇挤压部位发生逆断层活动的结果。此次强震进一步指示青藏高原东缘的向东挤出构造体系仍是近年来我国陆内强震活动的主要控震构造,并警示应重视活断层相对发育的断块内部城镇密集区的强震灾害风险。

Joint Inversion of the 3D P Wave Velocity Structure of the Crust and Upper Mantle under the Southeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau Using Regional Earthquake and Teleseismic Data

The special seismic tectonic environment and frequent seismicity in the southeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau show that this area is an ideal location to study the present tectonic movement and background of strong earthquakes in China's Mainland and to predict future strong earthquake risk zones. Studies of the structural environment and physical characteristics of the deep structure in this area are helpful to explore deep dynamic effects and deformation field characteristics, to strengthen our understanding of the roles of anisotropy and tectonic deformation and to study the deep tectonic background of the seismic origin of the block＇s interior. In this paper, the three-dimensional （3D） P-wave velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle under the southeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is obtained via observational data from 224 permanent seismic stations in the regional digital seismic network of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces and from 356 mobile China seismic arrays in the southern section of the north-south seismic belt using a joint inversion method of the regional earthquake and teleseismic data. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of the P-wave velocity anomalies in the shallow upper crust is closely related to the surface geological structure, terrain and lithology. Baoxing and Kangding, with their basic volcanic rocks and volcanic clastic rocks, present obvious high-velocity anomalies. The Chengdu Basin shows low-velocity anomalies associated with the Quaternary sediments. The Xichang Mesozoic Basin and the Butuo Basin are characterised by low- velocity anomalies related to very thick sedimentary layers. The upper and middle crust beneath the Chuan-Dian and Songpan-Ganzi Blocks has apparent lateral heterogeneities, including low-velocity zones of different sizes. There is a large range of low-velocity layers in the Songpan-Ganzi Block and the sub-block northwest of Sichuan Province, showing that the middle and lower crust is relatively weak. The Sichuan Basin, which is located in the western margin of the Yangtze platform, shows high-velocity characteristics. The results also reveal that there are continuous low-velocity layer distributions in the middle and lower crust of the Daliangshan Block and that the distribution direction of the low-velocity anomaly is nearly SN, which is consistent with the trend of the Daliangshan fault. The existence of the low-velocity layer in the crust also provides a deep source for the deep dynamic deformation and seismic activity of the Daliangshan Block and its boundary faults. The results of the 3D P-wave velocity structure show that an anomalous distribution of high-density, strong-magnetic and high-wave velocity exists inside the crust in the Panxi region. This is likely related to late Paleozoic mantle plume activity that led to a large number of mafic and ultra-mafic intrusions into the crust. In the crustal doming process, the massive intrusion of mantle-derived material enhanced the mechanical strength of the crustal medium. The P-wave velocity structure also revealed that the upper mantle contains a low-velocity layer at a depth of 80-120 km in the Panxi region. The existence of deep faults in the Panxi region, which provide conditions for transporting mantle thermal material into the crust, is the deep tectonic background for the area＇s strong earthquake activity.

Effect of Kunlun Ms 8.1 earthquake on crustal deformation in northeastern edge region of Qinghal-Tibet plateau

Seismic fault parameters can be inversed with Okada model based on deformation data before and after earthquakes in focal region and its adjacent area. Co-seismic displacements can be simulated by using these parameters,and then regional velocity field obtained by deducting the co-seismic displacements from the observed displacements by GPS method. We processed and analyzed the data in the northeastern edge region of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau observed during 2001 -2003 in two steps： firstly, the displacements generated by Kunlun MsS. 1 earthquake of 2001 in this region was simulated, and secondly, deducted the co-seismic displacements from it and obtained the horizontal crustal velocity field. The results reveal ： 1 ） the effect of Kunlun Ms8.1 earthquake on crustal deformation in this region is significant; 2 ）the velocity field obtained with this method is better than the original GPS velocity field in reflecting the status of regional crustal movement and strain.

Determination of the early Paleozoic accretionary complex in Southwestern Yunnan, China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean

Accretionary complex study provides important knowledge on the subduction and the geodynamic processes of the oceanic plate,which represents the ancient ocean basin extinction location.Nevertheless,there exist many disputes on the age,material source,and tectonic attribute of the Lancang Group,located in Southwest Yunnan,China.In this paper,the LA-ICP-MS detrital zircon U‒Pb chronology of nine metamorphic rocks in the Lancang Group was carried out.The U‒Pb ages of the three detrital zircons mainly range from 590-550 Ma,980-910 Ma,and 1150-1490 Ma,with the youngest detrital zircons having a peak age of about 560 Ma.The U‒Pb ages of the six detrital zircons mainly range from 440-460 Ma and 980-910 Ma,and the youngest detrital zircon has a peak age of about 445 Ma.In the Lancang Group,metamorphic acidic volcanic rocks,basic volcanic rocks,intermediate-acid intrusive rocks,and high-pressure metamorphic rocks are exposed in the form of tectonic lens in schist,rendering typical melange structural characteristics of“block+matrix”.Considering regional deformation and chronology,material composition characteristics,and the previous data,this study thinks the Lancang Group may be an early Paleozoic tectonic accretionary complex formed by the eastward subduction of the Changning-Menglian Proto-Tethys Ocean,which provides an important constraint for the Tethys evolution.

Crustal P-wave velocity structure in the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and insights into crustal deformation

The transitional area between the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Ordos Block and Alxa Block,also being the northern segment of the North-South Seismic Belt, is characterized by considerably high seismicity level and high risk of strong earthquakes. In view of the special tectonic environment and deep tectonic setting in this area, this study used two seismic wide-angle reflection/refraction cross profiles for double constraining, so as to more reliably obtain the fine-scale velocity structure characteristics in both the shallow and deep crust of individual blocks and their boundaries in the study area,and further discuss the seismogenic environment in seismic zones with strong historical earthquakes. In this paper, the P-wave data from the two profiles are processed and interpreted, and two-dimensional crustal velocity structure models along the two profiles are constructed by travel time forward modeling. The results show that there are great differences in velocity structure,shape of intra-crustal interfaces and crustal thickness among different blocks sampled by the two seismic profiles. The crustal thickness along the Lanzhou-Huianbu-Yulin seismic sounding profile(L1) increases from ~43 km in the western margin of Ordos Block to ~56 km in the Qilian Block to the west. In the Ordos Block, the velocity contours vary gently, and the average velocity of the crust is about 6.30 km s-1; On the other hand, the velocity structures in the crust of the Qilian Block and the arclike tectonic zone vary dramatically, and the average crustal velocities in these areas are about 0.10 km s-1 lower than that of the Ordos Block. In addition, discontinuous low-velocity bodies(LVZ1 and LVZ2) are identified in the crust of the Qilian Block and the arc-like tectonic zone, the velocity of which is 0.10–0.20 km s-1 lower than that of the surroundings. The average crustal thickness of the Ordos Block is consistently estimated to be around 43 km along both Profile L2(Tongchuan-Huianbu-Alashan left banner seismic sounding profile) and Profile L1. In contrast to the gently varying intra-crustal interfaces and velocity contours in the Ordos Block along Profile L1, which is a typical structure characteristic of stable cratons, the crustal structure in the Ordos Block along Profile L2 exhibits rather complex variations. This indicates the presence of significant structural differences in the crust within the Ordos Block. The crustal structure of the Helan Mountain Qilian Block and the Yinchuan Basin is featured by "uplift and depression" undulations, showing the characteristics of localized compressional deformation.Moreover, there are low-velocity zones with alternative high and low velocities in the middle and lower crust beneath the Helan Mountain, where the velocity is about 0.15–0.25 km s-1 lower than that of the surrounding areas. The crustal thickness of the Alxa Block is about 49 km, and the velocity contours in the upper and middle-lower crust of the block vary significantly. The complex crustal velocity structure images along the two seismic sounding profiles L1 and L2 reveal considerable structural differences among different tectonic blocks, their coupling relationships and velocity structural features in the seismic zones where strong historical earthquakes occurred. The imaging result of this study provides fine-scale crustal structure information for further understanding the seismogenic environment and mechanism in the study area.

六盘山断裂带及其邻区地壳结构

新生代期间,中国大陆西部受印度一欧亚板块碰撞和青藏高原隆升影响,以地壳缩短、增厚、陆内造山和强烈地震活动等为主要特征.在青藏高原东北边缘,高原物质侧向移动被鄂尔多斯地块所阻,在六盘山地区发育了一系列左旋斜冲断裂.断裂带周缘构造变形强烈,地震活动频繁,是研究青藏高原横向扩展控制大陆内部弥散变形的理想场所.本文对穿越青藏高原东北缘一六盘山断裂带一鄂尔多斯地块的宽角反射与折射地震资料使用层析成像和射线反演算法进行成像,获得了研究区地壳速度结构模型,其结果反映出六盘山断裂带两侧地壳结构、构造特征差异显著:1)上地壳层析成像结果显示鄂尔多斯盆地一侧地壳上部速度较低,等值线呈近水平状,具有典型的沉积盆地特征,而青藏高原东北缘一侧上地壳速度相对较高,横向变化剧烈,呈褶皱状,二者的分界为海原一六盘山逆冲走滑断裂;2)全地壳射线反演结果显示鄂尔多斯地块地壳速度梯度大,下地壳底部速度高由铁镁质物质组成,具有典型稳定古老克拉通的特征,青藏高原东北缘地壳速度总体较低,主要由长英质及长英-铁镁质过渡物质组成,具有典型造山带的特征,而六盘山断裂带下方地壳速度结构复杂,层面呈拱形,部分层出现速度逆转,为两个构造单元的接触过渡带;3)青藏高原东北缘一侧地壳厚度~50 km,鄂尔多斯地块地壳厚度~42 km,六盘山断裂带下方莫霍面发生叠置,揭示出青藏高原东北缘、鄂尔多斯地壳在六盘山下汇聚,较薄且刚性的鄂尔多斯地壳挤入较厚且塑性的青藏高原东北缘地壳中的构造模式.

昆仑山与汶川强烈地震对青藏块体东北缘地壳运动及应变积累的影响

充分应用GPS、区域水准、跨断层等地形变观测资料,借助非震负位错反演,结合地震活动,综合研究2001年11月14日昆仑山Ms8.1级地震对青藏块体东北缘地壳运动与应变积累的影响。通过分析笔者认为,青藏块体内部Ms8.1级巨大地震能量释放产生的扰动应力场对NE向主压背景应力场的调制作用,导致块体边界构造区域地壳差异运动和应力应变状态发生变化。其中,对阿尔金断裂东段与祁连山断裂带西段的应变积累状态反映减缓为主的影响,而对祁连山断裂带中东段则反映促进应变积累为主的影响。这种影响是一定时期、一定程度的。近期青藏块体东北缘区域应力场处于昆仑山、玉门、民乐等地震后的恢复状态。而由2008年5月12日汶川Ms8.0地震后有限的GPS、跨断层短水准观测资料,可推测汶川地震对甘川交界东段-甘川陕交界区应变积累状况一定程度促进影响。

华北陆块东北缘张三沟岩组SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究及其地质意义

出露于华北陆块东北缘的张三沟岩组为一套变质火山-沉积岩系,前人根据变质程度和地层对比将其划归古元古代。本文通过SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究,获得2517±9Ma、2518±7Ma和2534±26Ma原岩年龄,2439±24Ma、2464±73Ma和2433±71Ma变质年龄。这表明该套变质岩层形成于新太古代晚期,变质时代在新太古代末—古元古代初。结合区域资料,其变质年龄可能代表了古龙岗陆块与位于其北东侧的其它陆块(如佳木斯陆块)碰撞造山的时代,表明华北克拉通在新太古代末—古元古代初期经历过一次重要的克拉通化。

罐罐岭断裂带最新活动特征

断层的最新活动时代以及分段特征一直在重大工程安全性评价中具有特别重要的意义。在解决黄河黑山峡地震地质问题时,通过对罐罐岭断裂带的航片解译、野外追踪调查、地形地貌测量和古地震槽探资料研究,从而确定了该断裂带的活动时代以及分段特征。该断裂带发育在青藏块体东北缘,是中卫-同心弧形活动构造带的一部分,总体走向近EW,长约60km,分为5条不连续的次级断层,各段成左阶羽列,晚第四纪以来表现出强烈的左旋走滑兼挤压逆冲活动特征。断层错断了一系列山脊、小冲沟和阶地等,发育醒目的断层陡坎。研究发现,罐罐岭断裂最新一次地震破裂发生在距今700～1200a之间,最大同震位移位于罐罐岭附近,全新世以来水平左旋最大错距达6m。

东北地区晚古生代海相地层属于大陆边缘沉积的确定

东北地区晚古生代海相地层围绕佳—蒙地块呈环带状分布。岩屑长石砂岩等非稳定型沉积发育,岩性横向变化较大,岩相不稳定,火山岩发育等说明其属于活动型沉积。从佳—蒙地块的核心到边缘缝合带可见有古陆—类陆表海—陆棚海—深海的较为明显岩相带变化。从环带状分布、活动型沉积和构造岩相带有规律分布等方面确定东北地区晚古生代海相地层属于佳—蒙地块的大陆边缘沉积。

青藏块体东北缘近期地壳水平运动与应变积累

利用青藏块体东北缘2001—2004年、2004—2007年GPS水平运动速度场结果,借助负位错模型,研究该区当前的地壳水平运动特征与应变积累状况。分析表明:经昆仑山、玉门、民乐地震后一段时间的调整,2004—2007年青藏块体东北缘总体反映与长期背景场一致的应变场重构特性。祁连山断裂带东段应变大体维持2001—2004年的积累背景;祁连山断裂带中—西段、庄浪河断裂南段及甘南地块、河西走廊较2001—2004年应变积累有所增强;阿尼玛卿断裂带东段、秦岭北麓断裂存在应变积累趋势。

青藏块体东北缘跨断层形变典型震例总结与预测判据指标分析

针对青藏块体东北缘跨断层监测区及周边发生的5.8级以上地震,结合以往研究结果,对跨断层资料进行了重新梳理,重点分析了1995年永登5.8级、2000年景泰5.9级、2003年民乐—山丹6.1级和2013年岷县漳县6.6级地震前出现的跨断层形变异常。结果表明：这4次典型地震前出现的跨断层异常数量较多,为13-23项不等;分布范围较广,震中距在600km范围内,相对集中出现在300km左右范围内,也有近震区异常;异常特征以逆断加速、趋势转折、活动加剧、突跳、大幅变化等为主;震前2-3年或稍长时间开始出现异常,震前半年至1年半时段异常集中出现,具有中期背景或短期前兆意义,异常空间分布有向震中区汇聚迁移的特征。

鄂尔多斯块体东北缘的P波速度精细结构

筛选出2009年以来26个台站记录的726条天然地震的7 100条P波到时数据和91 513条相对到时数据,采用双差层析成像方法反演了鄂尔多斯块体东北缘地壳浅层15km深度以内的P波速度三维精细结构。结果显示,研究区西北部存在明显的连续的高速体,高速体的横向面积随着深度逐渐增加,东部和南部则表现为相对低速的分布特征。速度横向不均匀性在各个深度都存在,但在不同深度上又有差异,这种速度横向分布的差异性与地震活动性和断裂构造具有一定的相关性。从0~15km的深度剖面看,地震多发生在相对高速区或者高、低速过渡区,这在一定程度上反映了区域地壳介质体比较脆弱,断裂构造在纵横方向上差异活动比较剧烈,易于吸收并储存应变能,产生了较强的地震活动。凉城一带的地壳下方存在1个"Y"字型的相对高速区通道,并与NW向展布的黑老夭-杀虎口活动断裂组对应,呈现了该区新近纪—第四纪玄武岩喷发的运移轨迹,而1976年和林格尔6.2级地震的发生更是与该部位火山喷发引起热力"焊接"后形成闭锁区段有关。文中给出的P波速度三维精细结构,为揭示鄂尔多斯块体东北缘的地壳介质体的物化性质及地震孕育的深部构造环境提供了直观的地震学依据。

川滇块体东北缘晚第四纪区域气候-地貌分析及其构造地貌年代学意义

地貌年代是新构造特别是活动构造定量研究的瓶颈问题。通过对川滇块体北东边界构造带所在的区域气候变化过程和地貌研究成果的综合分析,利用众多的年代学数据,从区域尺度对地貌的年代、形态和物质组成等特征对比分析,探讨了该区冰川地貌、河流阶地和冲洪积扇的演化特征,揭示了区域气候变化与区域性地貌演化存在的内在对应关系。气候变化产生的气温、湿度、降水量等变化控制了该区冰川地貌和流水地貌的演化。区域内冰川地貌主要是末次冰期的产物,对应于末次冰期两个冰阶,河流作用在7～10ka和1～5ka两个阶段改造末次冰期堆积地貌形成相应的侵蚀地貌。主要河流阶地发育对应于降水量剧烈变化的气候过程,其中形成三级阶地面的流水下切作用最强,随后堆积的深厚物质是二级阶地的主体,并一直没有被后期流水下切作用蚀穿,与气候变化的强度等特点对应。区内冲洪积扇主要有3个堆积时期,即3～5ka,7～10ka和20～25ka,主要发育在气候变化最剧烈的时期,大量的碎屑物形成并短距离搬运堆积。将区域分析综合的结果应运到康定南团结乡附近的地貌分析,可以很好的理解该区的地貌演化,用侵蚀改造的地貌演化结论否认了以前的堆积地貌认识,理清了地貌发育的年龄序列。综合分析与应用的结果表明,区域气候-地貌-构造系统研究对于活动构造年代学具有非常重要的意义。
