Process-facies Types and Sequences of Devonian Volcanic Sedimentary Successions in Northern Xinjiang and Their Relation to Plate Tectonics

The process-facies types of the Devonian volcanic sedimentary successions in northern Xinjiang include explosive facies, effusive facies, pyroclastic-calcareous-terrigenous tempestite facies, and coarse^-, medium^- and fine-grained pyroclastic turbidite facies, volcanic eruption tsunamite facies, syndepositional and soft-deformed seismite facies, sandy and silt-muddy contourite facies. This paper presents their characteristics and diagnostic indicators, and discusses the temporal and spatial structures of both the process-facies and the environment-facies of the Zhifang section, east Junggar, and the Mount Sarburti section, west Junggar, and their relation to plate tectonism. The author holds that the facies analysis dominated by process-facies is the facies analysis' nucleus in an orogenic belt and active continental margin.

新疆北部泥盆纪火山沉积岩系作用相类型、序列及其与板块构造的关系

新疆北部泥盆纪火山沉积岩系的作用相类型主要包括:爆发相、溢流相,火山碎屑、钙屑、陆屑风暴岩相,火山喷发海啸岩相,粗粒、中粒、细粒火山碎屑浊积岩相,同沉积、软变形震积岩相和砂质、粉砂泥质等积岩相。文章阐述了它们的特征和识别标志,并以东准噶尔纸房剖面和西准噶尔沙尔布尔提山剖面为例,讨论了作用相和环境相的时空结构及与板块构造的关系。并认为以作用相为主体的相分析是槽区、造山带和活动大陆边缘相分析的特色所在。
