Lake-level changes can significantly affect paleoenvironmental evolution, resource occurrence, terrestrial carbon budget, and biodiversity in continental basins. Climate is one of the most critical factors controlling lake-level changes. Paleoclimate of the Early Jurassic has been evidenced by oscillating icehouses to (super) greenhouses with interrupted intermittent extreme climatic events (hyperthermal and cooling), e.g., the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (~183 Ma) and the late Pliensbachian cooling event (~185 Ma). Lake-level evolution and hydrologic cycling on Earth’s surface during the Early Jurassic icehouses-to-(super)greenhouses are thus far poorly understood due to a lack of continuous high-resolution nonmarine evidence. Here we present a super-long nonmarine lake level record for this pivotal interval from the early Pliensbachian to Toarcian by sedimentary noise modeling, and construct a 16.7-Myr-long astronomical time scale (174.2 Ma to 190.9 Ma) based on cyclostratigraphy analysis of rock color datasets (CIE b*) of the Qaidam Basin. Our results document lake-level oscillations on a 5-to 10-million-year (Myr) scale which shows a pronounced correlation with long-term climate variation and extreme climatic events, and 1- to 2.5-Myr-scale lake-level changes that are prominently paced by the 2.4-Myr long-eccentricity forcing and the 1.2-Myr obliquity forcing. At the Pliensbachian Stage, the 1.2-Myr-scale lake-level changes are in phase with the coeval sea-level variations. Orbitally forced growth and decay of the ephemeral or permanent ice sheets in polar regions are interpreted to control the synchronous ups-and-downs of continental lake level and global sea level. However, during the Toarcian ice-free greenhouses to (super)greenhouses, the 1.2-Myr-scale lake-level variations show an anti-phase relationship with global sea level, indicating a ‘seesaw’ interaction between continental reservoirs (lakes and groundwater) and global oceans. The 2.4-Myr long-eccentricity cycles mainly regulate variations of lake level and sea level by controlling the growth and decay of small-scale continental ice sheets, which is especially notable during the Pliensbachian Stage. These findings indicate a remarkable transition of hydrological cycling pattern during the Pliensbachian-Toarcian icehouses to (super)greenhouses, which provides new perspectives and evidence for investigating the hypothesis of global sea-level changes (e.g., glacio-eustasy and aquifer-eustasy) and long-period astronomical forcing in nonmarine stratigraphy.

湖泊水位的变化会对大陆盆地的古环境演变、资源发生、陆地碳预算和生物多样性产生重大影响。气候是控制湖泊水位变化的最关键因素之一。早侏罗世的古气候表现为从冰室到(超级)温室的振荡,以及间歇性的极端气候事件(高热和冷却),例如托阿克洋缺氧事件(约 183 Ma)和普利恩巴赫晚期冷却事件(约 185 Ma)。由于缺乏连续的高分辨率非海洋证据,人们对早侏罗世冰室到(超级)温室期间地球表面的湖泊水位演化和水文循环还知之甚少。在此,我们通过沉积噪音建模,展示了从早普利恩巴赫期到托阿克期这一关键时期的超长非海洋湖泊水位记录,并根据对盖达姆盆地岩石颜色数据集(CIE b*)的环地层学分析,构建了一个长达 16.7-Myr 的天文时间尺度(174.2Ma 至 190.9Ma)。我们的研究结果表明,500 万年至 1000 万年尺度的湖泊水位震荡与长期气候变异和极端气候事件有明显的相关性,而 1 至 2.5 百万年尺度的湖泊水位变化则主要受 2.4 百万年长自心率和 1.2 百万年钝倾率的影响。在普利恩巴赫期,1.2Myr尺度的湖泊水位变化与同时期的海平面变化相一致。极地地区短暂或永久冰盖在轨道作用下的增长和衰减被解释为控制了大陆湖泊水位和全球海平面的同步涨落。然而,在托阿克世无冰温室到(超级)温室期间,1.2Myr尺度的湖泊水位变化与全球海平面呈现反相关系,表明大陆水库(湖泊和地下水)与全球海洋之间存在 "跷跷板 "互动。2.4-Myr 长自心圆周期主要通过控制小尺度大陆冰盖的生长和衰减来调节湖泊水位和海平面的变化,这在普利恩巴赫期尤为明显。这些发现表明,在普利恩斯巴奇-托阿尔奇安冰室到(超级)温室期间,水文循环模式发生了显著的转变,这为研究全球海平面变化(如冰川-极乐世界和含水层-极乐世界)假说以及非海洋地层中长周期天文作用提供了新的视角和证据。

The importance of data assimilation components for initial conditions and subsequent error growth 数据同化组件对初始条件和后续误差增长的重要性
IF 5.7 2区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2023-12-15 DOI: 10.1007/s11430-023-1229-7

Despite a specific data assimilation method, data assimilation (DA) in general can be decomposed into components of the prior information, observation forward operator that is given by the observation type, observation error covariances, and background error covariances. In a classic Lorenz model, the influences of the DA components on the initial conditions (ICs) and subsequent forecasts are systematically investigated, which could provide a theoretical basis for the design of DA for different scales of interests. The forecast errors undergo three typical stages: a slow growth stage from 0 h to 5 d, a fast growth stage from 5 d to around 15 d with significantly different error growth rates for ensemble and deterministic forecasts, and a saturation stage after 15 d. Assimilation strategies that provide more accurate ICs can improve the predictability. Cycling assimilation is superior to offline assimilation, and a flow-dependent background error covariance matrix (Pf) provides better analyses than a static background error covariance matrix (B) for instantaneous observations and frequent time-averaged observations; but the opposite is true for infrequent time-averaged observations, since cycling simulation cannot construct informative priors when the model lacks predictive skills and the flow-dependent Pf cannot effectively extract information from low-informative observations as the static B. Instantaneous observations contain more information than time-averaged observations, thus the former is preferred, especially for infrequent observing systems. Moreover, ensemble forecasts have advantages over deterministic forecasts, and the advantages are enlarged with less informative observations and lower predictive-skill model priors.

尽管有特定的数据同化方法,但数据同化(DA)一般可分解为先验信息、观测类型给出的观测前向算子、观测误差协方差和背景误差协方差等组成部分。在经典的洛伦兹模型中,系统地研究了先验信息成分对初始条件(IC)和后续预测的影响,这为设计不同规模的先验信息提供了理论依据。预报误差经历了三个典型阶段:从 0 h 到 5 d 的缓慢增长阶段;从 5 d 到 15 d 左右的快速增长阶段(集合预报和确定性预报的误差增长率明显不同);以及 15 d 后的饱和阶段。循环同化优于离线同化,对于瞬时观测数据和频繁的时间平均观测数据,与流量相关的背景误差协方差矩阵(Pf)比静态背景误差协方差矩阵(B)能提供更好的分析;但对于不频繁的时间平均观测数据,情况则恰恰相反,因为当模式缺乏预测能力时,循环模拟无法构建信息丰富的先验,而与流量相关的 Pf 无法像静态 B 那样有效地从信息量低的观测数据中提取信息。瞬时观测数据比时间平均观测数据包含更多的信息,因此前者更受欢迎,特别是对于不频繁的观测系统。此外,集合预报比确定性预报更有优势,而且在观测信息量较少和模型预报技能较低的情况下,集合预报的优势会进一步扩大。

A lunar time scale from the perspective of the Moon’s dynamic evolution 从月球动态演变的角度看月球时间尺度
IF 5.7 2区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2023-12-15 DOI: 10.1007/s11430-022-1183-4

A geologic time scale is a chronological system that separates the geological strata of a planetary body into different units in temporal sequence and shows its progressive evolution. The time scale of the Moon was established a half-century ago during the telescopic-early Apollo exploration era, using data with limited spatial coverage and resolution. The past decades have seen a wide array of studies, which have significantly extended our understanding of global lunar geologic evolution. Based on a comprehensive review of lunar evolution with respect to the dynamical changes, we propose two major updates to the current lunar time scale paradigm to include the evolution of both endogenic and exogenic dynamic forces now known to have influenced early lunar history. Firstly, based on the temporal interplay of exogenic and endogenic processes in altering the Moon, we defined three Eon/Eonothem-level units to represent three dynamical evolutionary phases. Secondly, the pre-Nectarian System is redefined and divided as the magma ocean-era Magma-oceanian System and the following Aitkenian System beginning with the South Pole-Aitken basin. The ejecta of this basin, Das Formation, was deposited on the primordial lunar crust as the oldest stratum produced from exogenic processes. The updated lunar time scale, facilitated by the post-Apollo exploration and research advances, provides an integrated framework to depict the evolution of the Moon and has important implications for the geologic study of other terrestrial planets.

地质时间尺度是一种年代学系统,它将行星体的地质层按时间顺序分成不同的单元,并显示其逐渐演变的过程。月球的时间尺度是半个世纪前在望远镜-早期阿波罗探测时代利用有限的空间覆盖和分辨率数据建立的。在过去的几十年里,我们开展了大量的研究,极大地扩展了我们对全球月球地质演变的认识。在全面回顾月球演化动态变化的基础上,我们对目前的月球时间尺度范式提出了两大更新建议,以纳入目前已知的影响早期月球历史的内源和外源动力的演化。首先,根据改变月球的外源和内源过程在时间上的相互作用,我们定义了三个Eon/Eonothem级单元,分别代表三个动力学演化阶段。其次,重新定义了前内行星系统,并将其划分为岩浆洋时代的岩浆洋系统和从南极-艾特肯盆地开始的艾特肯系统。该盆地的喷出物 Das Formation 沉积在原始月壳上,是外生过程产生的最古老地层。阿波罗之后的探索和研究进展促进了月球时间尺度的更新,为描述月球的演变提供了一个综合框架,并对其他陆地行星的地质研究产生了重要影响。

摘要 建立现代花粉与植被之间的定量关系仍然是第四纪古生物学领域的一项关键而又复杂的工作。R值是一个成熟的传统指标,其特点是简单、直接适用,可用于校准地表花粉与现代植被之间的非线性差异。本研究通过 1987 年至 2021 年间发表的 R 值,为中国建立了一个全面的花粉 R 值数据集。该数据集经过严格的筛选、校准和标准化流程编制而成,包含 898 个现代花粉采样点和 2115 个花粉 R 值数据条目,涵盖 152 个花粉类群,涵盖 65 科 113 属。综合提取的 R 值得出以下结论:(1) 宏观空间分析在特定地点尺度上验证了先前建立的知识。显然,中国各地的花粉 R 值差异在统计学上是显著的。约三分之二的花粉类群表现出代表性不足(如杉木科、榛属、稔属、柽柳属、香蒲科、禾本科和豆科),而其余三分之一的类群则表现出代表性过高(如松属、杉属、桦属、麻黄属、藜属和蒿属)。代表性不足的程度超过了代表性过剩的程度,蓖麻科、柞树科、蓼科和菊科的代表性模式取决于植被类型。(2)花粉 R 值在中国境内有明显的空间分布格局。在中国东部木本植被区,R 值由北向南逐渐下降,这与气温和降水量的上升有关。相反,在中国北部和西部的草本植被区,R 值从东到西和从东北到西南逐渐降低,这与干旱加剧有关。尽管如此,花粉 R 值仍因花粉类群、植被类型和气候区域的不同而存在差异,甚至同一类群在不同植被类型和气候条件下也存在差异。这凸显了花粉 R 值及其对花粉植被关系解释的复杂性。(3) 花粉 R 值与相对花粉产量估计值有相似之处,并呈适度的正相关。然而,将它们作为植被的代表进行判定需要细微的考虑,因为这两个指标都表达了植被中的花粉代表性,显示了它们与现代植被的多方面关系。进一步的建议表明,在评估现代植被中的花粉代表性时,应使用中位数或对数变换的 R 值对化石花粉含量进行加权。这种方法强调了全面考虑不同空间尺度和植被类型中的差异和趋同的必要性,尤其是在不同地区的相同花粉类群中观察到的差异。

Microbially-mediated formation of Ca-Fe carbonates during dissimilatory ferrihydrite reduction: Implications for the origin of sedimentary ankerite 在亚铁酸盐异纤还原过程中微生物介导的钙铁碳酸盐形成:沉积角闪石起源的影响

The origin of sedimentary dolomite has become a long-standing problem in the Earth Sciences. Some carbonate minerals like ankerite have the same crystal structure as dolomite, hence their genesis may provide clues to help solving the dolomite problem. The purpose of this study was to probe whether microbial activity can be involved in the formation of ankerite. Bio-carbonation experiments associated with microbial iron reduction were performed in batch systems with various concentrations of Ca2+(0–20 mmol/L), with a marine iron-reducing bacterium Shewanella piezotolerans WP3 as the reaction mediator, and with lactate and ferrihydrite as the respective electron donor and acceptor. Our biomineralization data showed that Ca-amendments expedited microbially-mediated ferrihydrite reduction by enhancing the adhesion between WP3 cells and ferrihydrite particles. After bioreduction, siderite occurred as the principal secondary mineral in the Ca-free systems. Instead, Ca-Fe carbonates were formed when Ca2+ ions were present. The CaCO3 content of microbially-induced Ca-Fe carbonates was positively correlated with the initial Ca2+ concentration. The Ca-Fe carbonate phase produced in the 20 mmol/L Ca-amended biosystems had a chemical formula of Ca0.8Fe1.2(CO3)2, which is close to the theoretical composition of ankerite. This ankerite-like phase was nanometric in size and spherical, Ca-Fe disordered, and structurally defective. Our simulated diagenesis experiments further demonstrated that the resulting ankerite-like phase could be converted into ordered ankerite under hydrothermal conditions.

沉积白云石的起源是地球科学中一个长期存在的问题。一些碳酸盐矿物(如红柱石)与白云石具有相同的晶体结构,因此它们的成因可能为解决白云石问题提供线索。本研究的目的是探究微生物活动是否可能参与角闪石的形成。以海洋铁还原菌 Shewanella piezotolerans WP3 为反应介质,以乳酸盐和铁酸盐分别作为电子供体和受体,在不同浓度 Ca2+(0-20 mmol/L)的批处理系统中进行了与微生物铁还原有关的生物碳化实验。我们的生物矿化数据表明,Ca-添加剂通过增强 WP3 细胞与铁酸盐颗粒之间的粘附力,加快了微生物介导的铁酸盐还原反应。生物还原后,菱铁矿是无钙系统中的主要次生矿物。相反,当 Ca2+ 离子存在时,会形成 Ca-Fe 碳酸盐。微生物诱导的钙铁碳酸盐中的 CaCO3 含量与初始 Ca2+ 浓度呈正相关。在 20 mmol/L Ca-amended 生物系统中产生的 Ca-Fe 碳酸盐相的化学式为 Ca0.8Fe1.2(CO3)2,接近铁闪石的理论组成。这种类似钙钛矿的相具有纳米级尺寸和球形、钙铁无序和结构缺陷。我们的模拟成岩实验进一步证明,在热液条件下,生成的类方解石相可以转化为有序方解石。我们引入了 "原钾长石 "这一术语来定义具有接近钾长石的化学计量但阳离子排列紊乱的钙铁相。在本研究的基础上,我们在此提出,微生物活动提供了可陨落的碳酸钙铁前驱体,是沉积钾长石成因的一个重要因素。

Provenance of the Lower Jurassic pyroclastic sediments in the Zigui Basin: Implication for crustal thickening in the eastern Qinling orogenic belt 秭归盆地下侏罗统火成岩沉积的成因:对秦岭东部造山带地壳增厚的影响

The Late Triassic witnessed significant collisional orogenic events in the Qinling orogenic belt, accompanied by magma underplating and tectonic deformation. These processes potentially resulted in substantial crustal thickening and uplift of the Qinling orogen. However, due to the absence of igneous rock records from this period in the eastern section of the Qinling orogen, the changes in crustal thickness during this orogenic process have not been thoroughly investigated. A series of foreland basins emerged during the Early Mesozoic to the south of the East Qinling orogenic belt. These basins have preserved clastic sedimentary rocks derived from the uplift and erosion of the orogenic belt. These sedimentary records serve as crucial records to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the Qinling orogen. To further clarify the collisional orogenic process of the Qinling orogenic belt, this study conducted in situ volcanic lithic fragment geochemistry, detrital zircon U-Pb chronology and trace element composition analysis on the sandstones of the Lower Jurassic Tongzhuyuan Formation in the Zigui Basin. The results suggest that the sandstones, which exhibit a significant abundance of volcanic lithic fragments, has a characteristic detrital zircon age group of 250–200 Ma, indicating a major provenance from the Triassic volcanic rocks. Combined with regional correlation and paleocurrent analysis, the detrital zircon U-Pb age data show that the source area of volcanic rocks should be in the Qinling orogenic belt to the north of the basin. This interpretation is further supported by the Triassic granitic rocks exposed in the western part of the orogenic belt, representing the magmatism during the Triassic collisional orogenesis in the Qinling orogen. Based on the co-varying relationships between present-day crust thickness with the chemical compositions of granite rocks and zircons, the La/Yb ratio of volcanic lithic fragments in the Tongzhuyuan Formation and the Eu/Eu ratio of detrital zircons with Triassic ages indicate that the Qinling orogen experienced crustal thickening during the Late Triassic, reaching its maximum thickness of 60–70 km at ca. 220–210 Ma. This crustal thickening in the eastern Qinling orogen is temporally consistent with that in the western orogen as recorded by the Triassic granitic rocks and may be related to large-scale crustal shortening and magmatism during the collisional orogeny.

晚三叠世,秦岭造山带发生了重大的碰撞造山事件,并伴随着岩浆下溢和构造变形。这些过程可能导致秦岭造山带地壳大幅增厚和隆起。然而,由于秦岭造山带东段缺乏这一时期的火成岩记录,因此尚未对这一造山过程中地壳厚度的变化进行深入研究。早中生代,东秦岭造山带南部出现了一系列前陆盆地。这些盆地保存了造山带抬升和侵蚀过程中形成的碎屑沉积岩。这些沉积记录是重建秦岭造山带演化历史的重要记录。为进一步阐明秦岭造山带的碰撞造山过程,本研究对秭归盆地下侏罗统竹园组砂岩进行了原位火山岩碎屑地球化学、锆英石U-Pb年代学和微量元素成分分析。结果表明,该砂岩含有大量火山岩碎屑,其锆英石年龄组特征为250-200 Ma,表明其主要来源于三叠系火山岩。结合区域相关性和古海流分析,碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄数据表明,火山岩的源区应在盆地北部的秦岭造山带。造山带西部出露的三叠纪花岗岩,代表了秦岭造山带三叠纪碰撞造山时期的岩浆活动,进一步支持了这一解释。根据现今地壳厚度与花岗岩和锆石化学成分的共变关系,桐竹园地层中火山岩碎屑的La/Yb比值和三叠纪年龄的锆石碎片的Eu/Eu比值表明,秦岭造山带在晚三叠世经历了地壳增厚,在约220-210Ma时达到最大厚度60-70km。秦岭造山带东部的地壳增厚与西部造山带三叠纪花岗岩记录的地壳增厚在时间上是一致的,可能与碰撞造山运动中大规模的地壳缩短和岩浆活动有关。

The recurrent extreme El Niño events are commonly linked to reduced vegetation growth and the land carbon sink over many but discrete regions of the Northern Hemisphere (NH). However, we reported here a pervasive and continuous vegetation greening and no weakened land carbon sink in the maturation phase of the 2015/2016 El Niño event over the NH (mainly in the extra-tropics), based on multiple evidences from remote sensing observations, global ecosystem model simulations and atmospheric CO2 inversions. We discovered a significant compensation effect of the enhanced vegetation growth in spring on subsequent summer/autumn vegetation growth that sustained vegetation greening and led to a slight increase in the land carbon sink over the spring and summer of 2015 (average increases of 23.34% and 0.63% in net ecosystem exchange from two independent datasets relative to a 5-years average before the El Niño event, respectively) and spring of 2016 (6.82%), especially in the extra-tropics of the NH, where the water supply during the pre-growing-season (November of the previous year to March of the current year) had a positive anomaly. This seasonal compensation effect was much stronger than that in 1997 and 1998 and significantly alleviated the adverse impacts of the 2015/2016 El Niño event on vegetation growth during its maturation phase. The legacy effect of water supply during the pre-growing-season on subsequent vegetation growth lasted up to approximately six months. Our findings highlight the role of seasonal compensation effects on mediating the land carbon sink in response to episodic extreme El Niño events.

反复出现的极端厄尔尼诺事件通常与北半球(NH)许多分散区域的植被生长和陆地碳汇减少有关。然而,基于遥感观测、全球生态系统模型模拟和大气二氧化碳反演的多种证据,我们在此报告了在 2015/2016 年厄尔尼诺事件的成熟阶段,北半球(主要是热带外地区)植被普遍持续变绿,陆地碳汇没有减弱。我们发现,春季植被生长增强对随后的夏季/秋季植被生长有明显的补偿效应,这种补偿效应维持了植被绿化,并导致 2015 年春季和夏季陆地碳汇略有增加(2015 年春季和夏季陆地碳汇分别平均增加 23.34% 和 0.63%)。根据两个独立数据集,相对于厄尔尼诺现象发生前的 5 年平均值,净生态系统交换量分别增加了 23.34% 和 0.63%)和 2016 年春季(6.82%),尤其是在北半球的热带外地区,生长前季节(前一年的 11 月至当年的 3 月)的水分供应出现了正异常。这种季节补偿效应远远强于 1997 年和 1998 年,大大缓解了 2015/2016 年厄尔尼诺事件对成熟期植被生长的不利影响。生长季前期的供水对随后植被生长的遗留影响持续了约六个月。我们的研究结果凸显了季节补偿效应在调解陆地碳汇以应对偶发性极端厄尔尼诺事件中的作用。

Plate tectonics in the Archean: Observations versus interpretations 阿歇纪的板块构造:观测与解释

<p>Plate tectonics theory, established in the 1960s, has been successful in explaining many geological phenomena, processes and events that occurred in the Phanerozoic. However, the theory has often struggled to provide a coherent framework in interpreting geological records in continental interior and Precambrian period. In dealing with the relationship between plate tectonics and continental geology, continental interior tectonics was often separated from continental margin tectonics in the inheritance and development of their structure and composition. This separation led to the illusion that the plate tectonics theory is not applicable to Precambrian geology, particularly in explaining the fundamental geological characteristics of Archean cratons. Although this illusion does not mean that the Archean continental crust did not originate from a regime of plate tectonics, it led to the development of alternative tectonic models, often involving vertical movements under a regime of stagnant lid tectonics, including not only endogenous processes such as gravitational sagduction, mantle plumes and heat pipes but also exogenous processes such as bolide impacts. These vertical processes were not unique to the Archean but persisted into the Phanerozoic. They result from mantle poloidal convection at different depths, not specific to any particular period. Upgrading the plate tectonics theory from the traditional kinematic model in the 20th century to a holistic kinematic-dynamic model in the 21st century and systematically examining the vertical transport of matter and energy at plate margins, it is evident that plate tectonics can explain the common geological characteristics of Archean cratons, such as lithological associations, structural patterns and metamorphic evolution. By deciphering the structure and composition of convergent plate margins as well as their dynamics, the formation and evolution of continental crust since the Archean can be divided into ancient plate tectonics in the Precambrian and modern plate tectonics in the Phanerozoic. In addition, there are the following three characteristic features in the Archean: (1) convective mantle temperatures were 200–300°C higher than in the Phanerozoic, (2) newly formed basaltic oceanic crust was as thick as 30–40 km, and (3) the asthenosphere had a composition similar to the primitive mantle rather than the depleted mantle at present. On this basis, the upgraded plate tectonics theory can successfully explain the major geological phenomena of Archean cratons. This approach provides a new perspective on and deep insights into the evolution of early Earth and the origin of continental crust. In detail, Archean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) rocks would result from partial melting of the over-thick basaltic oceanic crust at convergent plate margins.

板块构造理论建立于 20 世纪 60 年代,成功地解释了新生代发生的许多地质现象、过程和事件。然而,在解释大陆内部和前寒武纪的地质记录时,该理论往往难以提供一个连贯的框架。在处理板块构造与大陆地质学之间的关系时,大陆内部构造与大陆边缘构造在其结构和组成的继承和发展方面常常被割裂开来。这种割裂导致了一种错觉,即板块构造理论不适用于前寒武纪地质学,尤其是在解释 Archean Cratons 的基本地质特征方面。虽然这种错觉并不意味着阿新世大陆地壳不是起源于板块构造体系,但它导致了替代构造模型的发展,这些模型通常涉及停滞盖构造体系下的垂直运动,不仅包括重力下陷、地幔羽流和热管等内生过程,还包括螺栓撞击等外生过程。这些垂直过程并非阿新世所独有,而是一直持续到新生代。它们产生于不同深度的地幔极对流,并非任何特定时期所特有。将板块构造理论从 20 世纪的传统运动模式提升到 21 世纪的运动-动力整体模式,并系统地研究板块边缘物质和能量的垂直运移,显然板块构造可以解释阿新世陨石坑的共同地质特征,如岩性关联、构造模式和变质演化。通过解读汇聚板块边缘的结构和组成及其动力学特征,可将阿新世以来大陆地壳的形成和演化划分为前寒武纪的古板块构造和新生代的现代板块构造。此外,阿新世有以下三个特征:(1) 对流地幔温度比新生代高 200-300°C ;(2) 新形成的玄武岩洋壳厚达 30-40 千米;(3) 星体层的成分与原始地幔相似,而不是现在的贫化地幔。在此基础上,升级版板块构造理论可以成功地解释阿尔川陨石坑的主要地质现象。这一方法为早期地球的演化和大陆地壳的起源提供了新的视角和深刻的见解。具体而言,阿新世的碳酸盐岩-闪长岩-花岗闪长岩(TTG)岩石是由板块边缘收敛处过厚的玄武质大洋地壳部分熔融而成。片麻岩穹窿和绿岩龙骨的构造模式是由TTG岩浆的浮力驱动置放及其与汇聚边缘的玄武岩地壳相互作用产生的,而绿岩带中的孔雀石则是古板块构造体系中地幔羽流活动的产物。高品位变质岩的广泛平面分布,而不是成带分布,是片麻岩穹窿与绿岩带分离的标志。在双峰火山群中缺少钙碱性安山岩,这表明在大洋俯冲带上方的花岗岩大陆地壳风化过程中缺少沉积增生楔。彭罗斯型蛇绿岩的缺失表明,在微板块的俯冲起始过程中,只有厚洋壳的上部火山岩被剥离,形成玄武岩增生楔。蓝晶岩和绿帘岩以及典型的成对变质带的缺失表明,汇聚板块边缘是通过热俯冲或在中等地热梯度下对厚洋壳的硬碰撞而过度增厚的。因此,只有正确认识和理解阿基坦板块的性质,板块构造学才能合理解释其基本地质特征。

Rheology of continental lithosphere and seismic anisotropy 大陆岩石圈流变学和地震各向异性
IF 5.7 2区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2023-12-13 DOI: 10.1007/s11430-022-1171-3

Abstract

Rheology of rocks controls the deformation of the Earth at various space-time scales, which is crucial to understand the tectonic evolution of continental lithosphere. Researches of rock rheology are mainly conducted via high-pressure and high-temperature rheological experiments and multi-scale observations and measurements of naturally deformed rocks. At present, a large amount of data from such kinds of studies have been accumulated. This paper first provides an up-to-date comprehensive review of the rheological mechanisms, fabric types and seismic properties of the main rock-forming minerals at different depths of continental lithosphere, including olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, amphibole, plagioclase, quartz and mica. Then, progress in high-pressure and high-temperature experiments and natural deformation observations is introduced, mainly regarding the rheological strength and behavior, seismic velocity and anisotropy of lithospheric mantle peridotite, eclogite, mafic granulite, amphibolite and felsic rocks. Finally, by taking the Tibetan Plateau as an example, the application of rock rheology for quantitative interpretation of seismic anisotropy data is discussed. The combination of mineral deformation fabrics and seismic anisotropy is expected to make an important breakthrough in understanding the rheological properties and structure of continental lithosphere.

摘要 岩石流变控制着地球在不同时空尺度上的变形,这对于理解大陆岩石圈的构造演化至关重要。岩石流变学研究主要通过高压和高温流变学实验以及对天然变形岩石的多尺度观测和测量来进行。目前,此类研究已积累了大量数据。本文首先对大陆岩石圈不同深度的主要成岩矿物(包括橄榄石、正长石、挛辉石、闪石、斜长石、石英和云母)的流变机制、构造类型和地震性质进行了最新的全面综述。然后,介绍了高压、高温实验和自然变形观测的进展,主要涉及岩石圈地幔橄榄岩、辉绿岩、黑云母花岗岩、闪长岩和长英岩的流变强度和行为、地震速度和各向异性。最后,以青藏高原为例,讨论了岩石流变学在地震各向异性数据定量解释中的应用。矿物变形织构与地震各向异性的结合有望在理解大陆岩石圈的流变特性和结构方面取得重要突破。

Researches of rock rheology are mainly conducted via high-pressure and high-temperature rheological experiments and multi-scale observations and measurements of naturally deformed rocks. At present, a large amount of data from such kinds of studies have been accumulated. This paper first provides an up-to-date comprehensive review of the rheological mechanisms, fabric types and seismic properties of the main rock-forming minerals at different depths of continental lithosphere, including olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, amphibole, plagioclase, quartz and mica. Then, progress in high-pressure and high-temperature experiments and natural deformation observations is introduced, mainly regarding the rheological strength and behavior, seismic velocity and anisotropy of lithospheric mantle peridotite, eclogite, mafic granulite, amphibolite and felsic rocks. Finally, by taking the Tibetan Plateau as an example, the application of rock rheology for quantitative interpretation of seismic anisotropy data is discussed. The combination of mineral deformation fabrics and seismic anisotropy is expected to make an important breakthrough in understanding the rheological properties and structure of continental lithosphere.</p>","PeriodicalId":21651,"journal":{"name":"Science China Earth Sciences","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138681514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
