摘要:

文章基于深地震探测数据与大洋钻探资料, 研究了南海北部被动陆缘洋陆转换带张裂-破裂机制科学问题。2018—2023年在国家基金委共享航次的协助下, 实施了三维深地震探测实验, 共投放海底地震仪52台次, 海底电磁仪2台次, 放炮数量达8750炮, 累积获得了294Gb的第一手数据, 并取得了一系列的创新性成果: 1) 首次获得南海北部陆缘洋陆转换带深达上地幔的三维速度结构, 精准确定了研究区洋陆转换带三维空间展布范围宽度为10~20km; 2) 揭示南海北部陆缘异常活跃的岩浆作用, 提出了不同时间段的构造与岩浆相互作用方式, 岩浆活动随着伸展作用不断向洋迁移并逐渐占据主导地位; 3) 建立了边缘海独特的张裂-破裂地质演化模型, 最后一期强烈的岩浆活动导致岩石圈破裂, 形成由玄武岩为主的“鳄鱼嘴”构造, 同时张裂-破裂过程沿其陆缘走向又存在显著的构造-岩浆差异性。

Abstract:

Based upon the deep seismic data and IODP drilling results, this study focuses on the mechanism of rifting and breakup processes of the northern South China Sea. During the implementation of the project (2018—2023), a 3D deep seismic survey was carried out during the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation Open Research Cruise (No. NORC2018-08). A total of 52 ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) and 2 ocean bottom electro-magnetometers (OBEM) were deployed and a total of 8750 shots were fired. 49 OBSs and 1 OBEM have been recovered, and a large amount of data (294 GB) have been acquired. At the same time, a series of innovative results are obtained: 1) the 3D velocity structure of the COT in the northern margin of the SCS has been obtained for the first time, and the COT domain with width of 10 ~ 20 km is determined in 3D view; 2) the active magmatism was revealed in the northern margin of the SCS, and the styles of interaction between tectonism and magmatism were proposed in different geological stages; meanwhile, the magmatism propagated seaward and progressively increased during extension; 3) the geological model of rifting and breakup is established as the type of marginal seas, whose breakup occurred in a crocodile style dominated by basalt due to the strong magmatism during end-rifting, accompanied with significant along-strike variations in the tectonism and magmatism. This project builds up the opening mode of the SCS from the perspective of 3D deep seismic data, and promotes the Chinese basic research of the marginal sea, which has far-reaching scientific and strategic significances.
