中文摘要:喜马拉雅和相邻的西藏高原,构成了地球上最大的高原和异常厚地壳的地区,是作为印度板块和亚洲板块新生代碰撞的结果,并被认作是典型的陆-陆碰撞[1.2.3.]地带。在此,我们报道了用深地震反射剖面方法进行本区地壳成像的第一个结果,试验的100km长剖面,布置在特提斯喜马拉雅(TethyanHimalaya)最南端,且跨过了喜马拉雅山脊,接近高喜马拉雅(HighHimalaya)地带,剖面显示了在地壳中部有一强反射带。它可能代表了一个活动的道冲断裂,印度板块是沿此断裂俯冲到藏南之下;上地壳反射使人们联想到上地壳存在着大规模的叠瓦状结构;莫霍反射来自本区双倍正常地壳厚度的巨厚地壳的底部。这些结果对西藏南端地壳增厚,是由于印度大陆地壳整体俯冲到包括特提斯喜马拉雅地区地壳之下的观点,给予了实质性的支持。 |

Deep Seismic Reflection Evidence for Continental Underthrusting beneath Southern Tibet |

Abstract:The Himalaya and adjacent Tibetan plateau, constituting Earth's largest region of elevated topography and anomalously thick crust, formed as a consequence of Cenozoic collision between india and Asia-itself considered the archetypal continent-continent collision. Here we rePOrt the first results from an attempt to image the structure of the crust beneath this region using deep seismic reflection profiling. Our ̄100km-long profile, acquired in the Tethyan Himalaya, shows a midcrustal reflection that probably marks the active thrust fault along which the indian plate is underthrusting southern Tibet; upper-crustal reflections with geometries suggestive of large-scale structural imbrication of the upper crust; and Moho reflections from the base of the double-normal-thickness crust underlying the region. These results lend substantial support to the view that crustal thickening beneath southernmost Tibet was accomplished by wholesale underthrusting of indian continental crust beneath the structurally imbricated upper crust comprising the Tethyan Himalaya. |
