大陆板有一个明显的边界,深度约为130-190公里,可能由部分融化定义. 这一发现与石层厚度的地化学和地震数据相协调.
科学领域:
- 地质学
- 地质化学
- 固体地球科学
背景情况:
- 大陆板块在地化学 (外岩,约175公里) 和地物理 (地震断层扫描,>250公里) 数据之间的厚度和定义机制存在显著差异.
- 现有的模型难以协调石化层与石化层界限的化学和热学定义.
研究的目的:
- 研究大陆内部的地震结构,并确定石层与石层界限的确切深度和性质.
- 在大陆板厚度上调和相互矛盾的地质和地化学约束.
主要方法:
- 从大陆内部模拟SS前体的地震波形.
- 在130-190公里深度对地震速度结构的分析.
主要成果:
- 在130至190公里深处发现了显著的地震速度下降 (7-9%).
- 这种深度与含有钻石的石的起源以及从粗到变形的石的过渡有关.
- 在这个深度的碳酸固体中,
结论:
- 在大约130-190公里深处的部分融化可能定义了大陆内部的板块边界.
- 这一发现为地质层厚度的地化学和地震观测提供了统一的解释.
- 部分融化的存在为刚性岩层和较弱的岩层之间存在的质对比提供了一种机制.
