Petrographic point counting data of sandstones and compositions of conglomerates of upper Permian-lowermost Triassic Wutonggou low-order cycle from Zhaobishan, North Tarlong, Taodonggou, and Dalongkou sections in the southern and northern foothills of Bogda Mountains were used to interpret the temporal and spatial variations of lithology of the Eastern North Tianshan Suture, which is the sediment source area. Three compositional trends were identified. A trend of upwardincreasing quartz content and granitic pebbles in Zhaobishan section suggests a change from the undissected volcanic arc, accretionary wedge and trench setting to predominantly transitional volcanic arc and subordinate accretionary wedge and trench, in the eastern part of the Eastern North Tianshan Suture. In North Tarlong and Taodonggou sections, however, the lithic content decreases and the contents of quartz and granitic pebbles increase up sections. These trends indicate that the western part of the Eastern North Tianshan Suture changed from an undissected volcanic arc to the transitional volcanic arc, accretionary wedge and trench. No clear trend in the lithic-rich sandstones of the Dalongkou section indicates that sediments were derived from the undissected volcanic arc in the Eastern North Tianshan Suture and local rift shoulders. Compositional variations of studied rocks suggest that the Eastern North Tianshan Suture was an amalgamated complex with great spatial and temporal heterogeneities in lithology and experienced persistent unroofing during late Permian-earliest Triassic. This study reconstructs a key element of the Chinese Tianshan Suture and serves as an example to understand the unroofing processes of ancient sutures.展开更多

A new synchronous stratigraphic unit, the lower QZJ LC is defined. The lower and upper boundaries of this cycle include a regionally correlative disconformity, erosional unconformity, and conformity, across which significant and abrupt changes in palaeoenvironments and tectonic and climatic conditions occurred. The lower boundary is an erosional unconformity and disconformity with a high-relief topography that juxtaposes lacustrine deposits of the underlying HYC LC with the overlying meandering stream deposits of the lower QZJ LC, and was caused by a regional tectonic uplift. The up- per boundary is a disconformity and local erosional unconformity and conformity, juxtaposing stacked paleosols developed on fluvial sediments with overlying fluvial and loessial deposits of the upper QZJ LC. The paleosols indicate landscape stability and a prolonged period of subaerial exposure and minimal deposition and suggest that climatic conditions were semiarid with strong precipitation seasonality in the Tarlong-Taodonggou half graben and subhumid in the Dalongkou area. The fluvial-loessial deposits indicate a renewed tectonic uplift and a change in the atmospheric circulation pattern. The newly-defined lower QZJ LC facilitates accurate palaeogeographic reconstruction in the study area during a period of major tectonic and climatic changes. The interpreted tectonic and climatic conditions provide a critical data point in the mid-latitude east coast of NE Pangea during the Mid-Permian icehouse-hothouse transition. The results demonstrate that a process-response approach is effective in time- stratigraphic analysis of complex fluvial-lacustrine strata in a highly-partitioned rift basin.展开更多

文摘为刻画北冰洋中部的地脉动特征,并探究北极变暖对地震背景噪声的潜在影响,本文分析了2021年8月北冰洋洋中脊国际联合考察计划在加克洋中脊东段布设的9台海底地震仪(ocean bottom seismometer,OBS)的记录.在通常由海浪拍打海岸产生的单频地脉动频段内(10~20s),并未观测到显著的能量波峰.在双频地脉动(double frequency microseism,DFM)的频段内(2~10s),其功率谱密度比其他开阔大洋低20~40dB,尤其是在加克洋中脊轴线以外布设的OBS,其功率谱更为微弱.这种极弱的DFM可归因于永久性冰盖的存在,它阻碍了大气与海洋之间的相互作用,从而抑制了DFM的产生.基于对组成地脉动的瑞利波的极化分析,以及DFM的功率谱与海浪波高之间的相关性结果,海底记录到的微弱DFM应产生于北巴伦支海及其周边海域.作为北极变暖的热点区域,北巴伦支海不断减少的海冰进口量加剧了该区的海气相互作用.海洋学数据显示,此处风驱海浪的方向存在高度变化性,加之存在的永久性冰盖,两者可能促使相反传播的波列形成,从而发生海浪非线性相互作用,激发DFM.由于传播过程中的能量衰减效应,DFM能量持续减弱,导致离轴布设的OBS无法观测到明显的能量峰值.相比之下,沿轴布设的OBS在2~5s的短周期DFM频段内观测到更强的功率谱,这与洋中脊轴内较厚的松散沉积层造成的DFM能量放大效应有关.
