摘要

南海北部陆缘在区域板块构造和深部地幔流影响下, 发育了复杂的构造、岩浆和基底升降过程。本文采用最新提出的伸展校正回剥技术和4条长地震剖面, 对南海北部陆缘新生代伸展变形和从张裂到裂后的构造升降过程开展详细研究。结果表明南海北部陆缘伸展减薄差别大, 强伸展与弱伸展不仅具有南北分带特点, 还具有东西交替出现的分块特征。琼东南盆地、珠江口盆地中部、台西南盆地伸展减薄大, 部分地壳被减薄至10km以下; 而珠江口西部和东部伸展减薄小, 地壳厚度大都在20km以上。强伸展与弱伸展陆缘总应变不同, 但应变速率均具有张裂早期慢、晚期快的二阶段特征。强伸展陆缘最大应变速率在4×10-15~7×10-15s-1之间, 地壳最大伸展系数为4~10; 弱伸展陆缘最大应变速率小于1×10-15s-1, 最大伸展系数小于1.9。南海北部陆缘构造升降具有脉动式、快慢交替的特征。张裂期构造沉降快, 裂后构造升降表现为4幕先慢后快及东早西晚的特点。陆缘西部琼东南盆地脉动式升降主要与深部地幔上升流引起的动力地形有关。陆缘东部珠江口和台西南盆地脉动式构造升降则可能受南海打开过程及吕宋岛弧与南海陆缘碰撞的影响。

Abstract

Under the influence of regional plate tectonics and deep mantle flow, the northern continental margin of the South China Sea has developed the complicated tectonic, magmatic and basement subsidence processes. In this study, the modified technique of back-stripping and four long seismic profiles are applied to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Cenozoic extensional deformation of the northern South China Sea margin and the syn- to post-rift tectonic subsidence history. Results show a significant difference in the crustal thinning in the northern South China Sea margin. From east to west, the strong and weak extensional zones occur alternatively. The Qiongdongnan Basin, the middle segment of the Pearl River Mouth Basin, and the Taixinan Basin experienced strong extension, and part of the crust is extremely thinned to less than 10 km; while the west and east segments of the Pearl River Mouth underwent minor extension, and the crustal thickness mostly remains above 20 km. The total strain between the strong and weak extensional margins are largely different, however, the strain rates both show a two-stage characteristics: slow in the early syn-rift period and fast in the post-rift period. In the strong extensional margin, the largest strain rate ranges between 4×10-15 and 7×10-15·s-1, and the maximum extensional factor is 4~10; while in the weak extensional margin, the largest strain rate is less than 1×10-15·s-1, and the maximum extension factor is less than 1.9. Moreover, the northern continental margin of the South China Sea is characterized by pulsed and alternative fast and slow tectonic subsidence. The tectonic subsidence was rapid during the syn-rift period. The post-rift period is characterized by four episodes of slow-fast-slow-slow tectonic subsidence, which happened early in the east then late in the west. The pulsed tectonic subsidence in the Qiongdongnan Basin is mainly related to deep mantle upwelling. The pulsed tectonic subsidence in the Pearl River Mouth and the Taixinan Basins may be affected by the diachronous opening of the South China Sea and the collision between the Luzon Island Arc and the South China Sea margin.

被动大陆边缘是大陆岩石圈经伸展、减薄、破裂后形成的, 位于大陆与大洋之间, 是地表主要沉积沉降场所和油气聚集区域。由于初始构造背景和流变结构差异, 区域板块构造和深部地幔作用不同, 大陆岩石圈伸展、减薄、破裂过程以及陆缘岩浆、流体和沉积过程等存在较大差别, 形成不同陆缘类型, 如蛇纹岩化地幔剥露型(Pickup et al, 1996)、深部地幔过度伸展型(Huismans et al, 2011)以及富岩浆型(Geoffroy, 2005)等。陆缘基底升降过程也常偏离纯剪切理论模型的预测(Mckenzie, 1978; Jarvis et al, 1980), 如环北极陆缘盆地(Cloetingh et al, 1990)、澳大利亚西北陆缘北卡那封盆地(Driscoll et al, 1998)、北大西洋挪威陆缘(Praeg et al, 2005)、Faeroe-Shetland盆地(Nadin et al, 1997)和南大西洋加蓬盆地(Dupré et al, 2007)等。由于陆缘升降过程是岩石圈对充填负载(水和沉积等)和地壳内应力产生的构造负载的响应和地形调整(Zhao et al, 2018c; Zhao, 2021)。因此, 陆缘或盆地基底升降量包含充填负载升降量和构造负载升降量(构造升降)两部分(Zhao et al, 2018c; Zhao, 2021)。构造升降则由岩石圈尺度的均衡构造升降和由深部地幔流引起的动力升降(动力地形)组成(Zhao et al, 2018c; Zhao, 2021)。前者是岩石圈内厚度、密度或板内应力变化等在岩石圈底界面附近达到重力均衡后产生的地形变化, 如陆缘伸展减薄、前陆盆地逆冲增厚、相变、岩浆活动或板内应力变化等, 大都具有幅度小和波长短(< 102km)的特点(Praeg et al, 2005); 后者是指地幔密度变化产生的粘性流动作用到岩石圈底部形成的长波长(102~103km)、较大幅度的地表垂直位移变形, 板块俯冲和深部热地幔上涌等是地幔密度异常、热浮力和地幔对流的主要来源(Lithgow-Bertelloni et al, 1998; Praeg et al, 2005; 刘少峰, 2009)。由于引起动力地形的作用力是变化的, 所以动力地形是动态的, 与处于平衡状态的均衡地形不同(Lithgow-Bertelloni et al, 1997)。研究被动大陆边缘基底构造升降史, 对认识陆缘伸展、减薄、破裂过程、区域板块构造运动和深部地幔流等有重要意义。
南海受欧亚板块、印度洋和太平洋板块相互作用及影响, 是华南地块在新生代通过多幕伸展、减薄、以及自东向西穿时破裂后形成的(Briais et al, 1993; Wang et al, 2009; 任建业 等, 2011; Li et al, 2012a; Li et al, 2012b; 李三忠 等, 2018)。区域板块构造诱发了深部地幔上升流, 使南海地幔潜温比正常高出~100~300℃(Hoang et al, 1998; 鄢全树 等, 2007; Wang et al, 2012; Yang et al, 2019), 喷发大面积OIB类型碱性玄武岩, 分布在雷琼半岛(13—0Ma)(Wang et al, 2012; 徐义刚 等, 2012) 、珠江口盆地(20—17Ma)(邹和平 等, 1995)、北部湾盆地涠洲岛(5.9—0Ma)(李昌年 等, 2005)、中南半岛(17—0Ma)(Hoang et al, 1998)、南海海盆(13.8—3.5Ma)(王贤觉 等, 1984; 鄢全树 等, 2008; Zhao et al, 2019)以及礼乐滩和南沙地块(2.7—0.4Ma)(Kudrass et al, 1986)等。南海北部陆缘是全球被动陆缘中比较独特的一类, 地震成像发现下地壳高速层发育在南海东北陆缘上陆坡位置(Yan et al, 2001; 卫小冬 等, 2011), 而不是在陆缘伸展减薄最大的洋陆过渡带, 并缺失向海倾斜火山熔岩层(郝天珧 等, 2011), 与挪威—格陵兰等富岩浆型陆缘不完全一致(Geoffroy, 2005)。南海北部陆缘还广泛发育超伸展拆离构造(Lester et al, 2014; Lei et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2018; Zhao et al, 2018b; Zhou et al, 2018; 庞雄 等, 2018; 任建业 等, 2018), 又与伊比利亚—纽芬兰等贫岩浆型陆缘有一定相似之处。但南海大洋钻探(Wang et al, 2000; Li et al, 2015a; Sun et al, 2018)在洋陆过渡带既没有钻遇蛇纹岩化地幔, 也没有发现向洋倾斜熔岩反射层, 而是钻到了大洋中脊玄武岩, 发现南海陆缘陆洋转换快, 有大量岩浆参与(Sun et al, 2019), 并受俯冲板块影响(Zhao et al, 2022), 近年来多被认为是介于贫岩浆型和富岩浆型之间的过渡类型(Larsen et al, 2018; Ding et al, 2020)。此外, 前人对南海陆缘的伸展过程也有不同认识, 岩石圈不同圈层应变定量计算表明南海陆缘发生了随深度增加的伸展变形(佟殿君 等, 2009; 赵中贤 等, 2011; 雷超 等, 2013; Zhao et al, 2018b), 然而部分反射地震解释却揭示有蛇纹岩化地幔的剥露(Franke et al, 2014; 任建业 等, 2018)。在板块构造、深部地幔流、岩石圈差异伸展和岩浆过程等影响下, 南海北部陆缘基底构造升降史也很复杂, 出现幕式和脉动式特征(焦养泉 等, 1997; 林畅松 等, 1999; 吴能友 等, 2003; 马明 等, 2019), 而且裂后沉降还有早期慢后期快的特点, 如琼东南和莺歌海盆地裂后早期慢速沉降发生在23—11.6Ma, 晚期快速沉降发生在11.6—0Ma(Xie et al, 2006; 崔涛 等, 2008; 袁玉松 等, 2008; Zhao et al, 2013; Shi et al, 2017); 珠江口盆地珠三凹陷裂后早期慢速沉降时间为30—18.5Ma, 后期快速沉降时间为18.5—16Ma(陈梅 等, 2017); 珠一凹陷裂后快速沉降也出现在18.5—16.5Ma(赵中贤 等, 2010; 刘明辉 等, 2015); 珠二凹陷裂后快速沉降发生在23—14Ma(Xie et al, 2014; He et al, 2017); 台西盆地裂后快速沉降发生在30—18Ma(Lin et al, 2003)。前人也提出了多种不同的解释, 如岩石圈随深度伸展(Davis et al, 2004; 佟殿君 等, 2009; Yin et al, 2011; 雷超 等, 2013), 裂后拉伸和地壳减薄(袁玉松 等, 2008; Zhao et al, 2013), 下地壳流(Clift et al, 2015)、岩浆侵入(Shi et al, 2005)、地幔热异常(杨军 等, 2015; Shi et al, 2017)以及地幔上升流引起的动力地形(Lithgow-Bertelloni et al, 1997; Wheeler et al, 2000; Wheeler et al, 2002; Xie et al, 2006; Zhao, 2021)等。但这些工作多分散在某个盆地或区域, 或聚焦在裂后某个阶段, 缺少对整个陆缘从张裂开始的完整认识。此外, 前人多采用常规回剥方法计算载水盆地沉降(Sclater et al, 1980)或空盆构造沉降(Zhao et al, 2013), 由于该方法无法消除张裂阶段早期地层受后期多幕拉伸减薄的影响, 并不能准确获得张裂阶段各时期地层厚度和构造升降量(Zhao, 2021)。因此, 本文拟采用Zhao(2021)提出的伸展校正回剥技术, 对南海北部陆缘的4条测线详细开展随时间变化的伸展应变速率计算和基底构造升降史研究, 深入认识陆缘新生代伸展应变特征和从张裂到裂后的构造升降过程。

1 地质概况

南海是西太平洋边缘海, 处于欧亚、印度—澳大利亚和太平洋板块交汇处, 其西、南、东三面被弧形俯冲带环绕(Li et al, 2021)。南海北部陆缘宽阔, 前震旦纪结晶基底和早古生代加里东褶皱带广泛分布, 与邻近华南块体具有相同的构造属性(Sun et al, 2014a)。中生代, 南海北部陆缘受古太平洋俯冲影响, 发育燕山期花岗岩和主动大陆边缘(Sun et al, 2014a)。陆缘从主动向被动转变多被认为发生在晚白垩纪到早古近纪(~100—55Ma)(Taylor et al, 1983; Shi et al, 2012; Ye et al, 2018)。张裂初始不整合进一步揭示陆缘东部张裂发生在古近纪, 并在晚始新世传播到西部(Franke et al, 2014)。新生代多幕伸展活动(Franke et al, 2014; Ye et al, 2020)不仅在南海陆缘形成了许多大型沉积盆地, 如台西南、珠江口、琼东南和莺歌海盆地等, 也使大陆岩石圈在~33Ma破裂和发生海底扩张(图1)。大洋钻探和海底磁条带揭示海盆打开首先发生在东部和西北次海盆, 在~23.6Ma向西南次海盆传播, 并在~16—15Ma停止扩张(Taylor et al, 1983; Briais et al, 1993; Li et al, 2015b; Sun et al, 2018)。

The South China Sea Basin is composed of the eastern sub-basin, the northwestern sub-basin and the south-western sub-basin. The white short lines are the seafloor magnetic anomalies (Briais et al, 1993). In the northern continental margin of the South China Sea, there are the Yinggehai, Qiongdongnan, Pearl River Mouth and Taixinan Basins from west to east. The gray straight lines are multi-channel seismic survey lines, and the red dots mark the oil and gas wells and IODP drilling cites. The bold red lines 1-4 stand for four reflection seismic lines used here, and points P1-24 are selected to perform the detailed tectonic subsidence analysis.

珠江口盆地位于南海北部陆缘中部, 是南海最大的沉积盆地, 盆地内断层走向变化指示存在两幕伸展活动, 第一幕伸展发生在早始新世, 应力方向为NNW—SSE向; 第二幕伸展发生在晚始新世—早渐新世, 应力方向为NS向(Franke, 2013; Ye et al, 2020)。两幕伸展分别形成了早期文昌组陆相、湖相碎屑沉积, 以及恩平组湖相、河流相和浅海相沉积(赵中贤 等, 2009; Jian et al, 2019; Xie et al, 2019)。盆地裂后期构造相对平静, 发育海相环境, 但仍有大量小断层形成于深水区, 走向变为NWW向(Sun et al, 2014b)。通过多幕构造活动, 盆地形成了南北分带的构造格架, 包括北部隆起带、珠一坳陷带(恩平、西江、惠州凹陷等)、珠三坳陷带(阳江、文昌凹陷等)、中央隆起带(东沙、神狐隆起)、珠二坳陷带(白云、开平、顺德凹陷等)、南部隆起带和珠四坳陷带(荔湾、鹤山、兴宁、靖海凹陷等)(图1)(Pang et al, 2018)。
琼东南盆地位于南海北部陆缘西部, 东部是珠江口盆地, 西部是莺歌海盆地(图1)。盆地张裂阶段发生于45—23Ma (Zhao et al, 2018c), 伸展断层走向为NE、E和NW向, 并在~23Ma停止活动(Zhao et al, 2018c; Lei et al, 2020)。盆地基底发生强烈减薄, 东部主要发育对称地堑, 西部为不对称半地堑结构(Zhao et al, 2015a)。23Ma后盆地进入裂后阶段, 构造沉降早期慢, 后期快(Zhao et al, 2018c)。裂后岩浆活动主要在东部(Gao et al, 2016; Lei et al, 2016; Zhao et al, 2016), 多边形断层出现在中中新世(吴时国 等, 2009)。盆地基底格架仍表现出南北分带的特征, 包括北部坳陷带、中央坳陷带(长昌、宝岛、松南、陵水和乐东凹陷)和南部隆起带(Zhao et al, 2015a; Lei et al, 2016)。盆地沉积环境由晚始新世的河湖相、渐新世海陆过渡相、早中中新世滨浅海相转变为晚中新世以后的浅海—深海相(Xie et al, 2008; Su et al, 2011)。

2 数据与方法

2.1 多道地震数据

在南海北部陆缘的琼东南和珠江口盆地, 选取4条多道地震测线, 在钻井数据约束下开展构造沉降计算和分析(图1)。测线1位于琼东南盆地西部, 从西北向东南依次过北部隆起、涯北凹陷、陵南低凸起、陵水凹陷和南部隆起带, 长约220km(图2)(Zhao, 2021)。测线2位于琼东南盆地东部, 从北向南依次过神狐隆起、长昌凹陷和南部隆起带, 共长195km(图3)(Zhao et al, 2015a)。沿多道地震测线1和2, 沉积层序、基底和Moho反射都很清晰, 其构造、地层和地壳结构等已有详细分析(Zhao et al, 2015a; Zhao, 2021)。上部新生代地层被划分出9个层序界面(45、33.9、28.4、25.5、23、16、11.6、5.5和0Ma)(图2、3)(Zhao et al, 2015a; Zhao et al, 2018c; Zhao, 2021), 下部壳幔边界Moho面具有低频、强振幅和中等连续反射特征, 双层反射时间在8—10s(图2和3)。Moho反射和沉积基底(45Ma)之间为残余地壳, 其厚度通过折射地震得到的地壳平均速度~6.5km·s-1 (Nissen et al, 1995; Qiu et al, 2001) 与残余地壳反射时间相乘计算得到(图2、3)。地震测线3位于珠江口盆地西部, 由北向南依次过北部隆起、恩平—阳江凹陷、神狐隆起、开平凹陷和南部隆起, 长约260km(毛云华 等, 2020)(图4)。地震测线4位于珠江口盆地中部, 从北向南依次经过北部隆起、西江凹陷、番禺低隆起、白云凹陷、云荔低凸起、荔湾凹陷和南部隆起, 长约390km(图5)。地震测线3和4由中国海洋石油公司提供, 在钻井约束下, 其新生代地层解释了10个地层界面(56、38、33.9、23、21、16、12.5、10、5.3和0Ma), 并在图4、5中标出了其中的8个。由于两条测线的Moho反射不清晰, Moho面深度和残余地壳厚度主要通过重力模拟得到(张云帆 等, 2007; Zhao et al, 2022), 其中测线3参考了张云帆 等(2007)的结果(图4), 测线4参考了Zhao等(2022)的重力模拟结果(图5)。

2.2 伸展校正回剥技术

张裂陆缘一般经历多幕伸展活动, 为校正后期伸展减薄过程对早期地层厚度的影响, 准确获得从张裂到裂后的无负载构造沉降, 这里选取了Zhao(2021)提出的一维伸展校正回剥技术(公式1)。与常规方法相比(Sclater et al, 1980; Zhao et al, 2013), 新方法不仅可以对埋藏地层进行去压实, 校正沉积负载、水负载、古水深和基准面变化的影响, 还可以校正沉积盆地多幕伸展过程中后期拉伸对早期地层减薄的影响。
EBS i = β wc β i × ST i × ρ m − ρ s ρ m + PWD i × ρ m − ρ w ρ m − ΔBL i
式中ρw、ρs和ρm分别是水(1030kg·m-3)、沉积物和软流圈地幔(3184kg·m-3)平均密度。βwc是全地壳总伸展系数(为初始地壳厚度32km与现今地壳厚度比值, 地震测线1—4的地壳总伸展系数见图6—9所示, 由于下地壳高速层和岩浆体主要分布在南海东北陆缘(Yan et al, 2001; 卫小冬 等, 2011), 对陆缘中、西部的4条测线影响较小, 这里在计算4条测线的地壳伸展系数时, 没有考虑岩浆作用的影响), βi是从张裂开始到时间i的全地壳伸展系数。EBSi、STi、PWDi和ΔBLi分别是从张裂开始到时间i的无负载构造沉降、去压实沉积物厚度、古水深和基准面变化。

Fig. 9 The strain rate (a) and whole crustal extension factor (b) of each period calculated on the basis of the total crustal extension factor and fault growth rates along seismic line 4 (see Fig. 1 for the location)

为消除后期拉伸减薄的影响和恢复地层初始沉积时的厚度, 这里需要两个参数: (1)现今地层剖面通过逐层回剥去压实后的地层厚度; (2)陆缘伸展过程中随时间变化的应变速率或伸展系数。Zhao(2021)认为断层活动速率随时间变化可以反映陆缘多幕伸展强度的变化, 提出根据各时期断层活动速率(fi)对总应变(全地壳总伸展系数βwc)进行权重分配(公式2), 据此计算各时期断层强度加权的应变速率(Gi); 同时给出公式(3)计算从张裂开始到地层i形成时的全地壳伸展系数(βi)。

β i = exp ∑ i = 1 n G i ( t ) ⋅ Δ t i
其中, βwc是全地壳总伸展系数(总应变), n是地层个数, Δti是地层i经历的时间(Myr), fi是与地层i对应的断层活动速率(m·myr-1), Gi是与地层i对应的断层活动速率加权的应变速率, βi是从张裂开始到地层i形成时的全地壳伸展系数。

现今地层剖面通过逐层回剥可获得去压实后的厚度, 这是在保持沉积物颗粒密度不变的条件下, 把地层按地质年代从新到老的顺序逐层剥去, 剩下地层的孔隙和厚度恢复到原来的状态(Sclater et al, 1980)。地层正常压力下单一岩性的孔隙度和深度关系服从指数分布 ϕ = ϕ 0 × e − c z, ϕ是深度为z处的孔隙度, ϕ 0是地表孔隙度, c是压实系数。实际地层包含多种岩性, 应采用混合比例加权法求得孔隙度。例如, 已知地层a上下界面深度为Z1、Z2, 经回剥去压实恢复到地层a′, 上下界面深度为Z1′、Z2′。假设地层a、a′的地表孔隙度为 ϕ 0, 压实系数为c, 地层a单位面积上孔隙水所占体积为: V w = ∫ Z 1 Z 2 ϕ 0 × e − c z d z = ϕ 0 c ( e − c z 1 − e − c z 2 ), 地层a单位面积上沉积颗粒体积为: V s = Z 2 − Z 1 − ϕ 0 c ( e − c z 1 − e − c z 2 ), 当地层a经去压实恢复到地层a′时, 根据沉积物颗粒体积不变, 即可得到公式(4), 据此计算出去压实后各地层界面的深度和厚度。
Z 2 ' − Z 1 ' − ϕ 0 c ( e − c z 1 ' − e − c z 2 ' ) = Z 2 − Z 1 − ϕ 0 c ( e − c z 1 − e − c z 2 )
通过剥去上覆地层, 公式(1)中剩余沉积地层总厚度为ST的平均密度为: ρ s = ∑ i ϕ i ⋅ ρ w + ( 1 − ϕ i ) ⋅ ρ g i ⋅ T i ST, 其中 ϕ i、 ρ g i、 T i分别是回剥后剩余沉积物中第i层的平均孔隙度、颗粒密度和地层厚度。
除了多幕伸展应变速率, 地层厚度、岩性、古水深和基准面变化等都是影响基底构造沉降计算(公式1)的重要参数。为获取这些参数, 前人开展了大量工作, 如琼东南盆地高精度的构造—沉积—沉降过程分析(Xie et al, 2006; Zhao et al, 2015b, 2018a, 2018c; Zhao, 2021)和珠江口盆地伸展模拟和沉积—沉降过程分析(赵中贤 等, 2009, 2010, 2011; Xie et al, 2014; 毛云华 等, 2020)等。利用这些参数本文计算了沿4条测线各时期的构造升降速率(图10—13)。并对24口模拟井的构造升降过程进行了详细分析(图14、15)。同时总结了南海北部陆缘裂后脉动式构造升降的时空变化规律(图16)。

3 结果与讨论

3.1 南海北部陆缘强、弱伸展南北分带及东西分块特征

南海北部陆缘具有大陆岩石圈伸展减薄特征, 通过对比分析珠江口盆地和琼东南盆地4条测线的地壳厚度(图2—5), 发现南海北部陆缘伸展减薄空间上差别很大, 强伸展与弱伸展不仅表现为南北分带的特点(图1), 地壳在隆起带伸展减薄小, 在坳陷带伸展减薄大(图2—5), 还表现为东西交替出现的分块特征(图1)。陆缘西部琼东南盆地伸展减薄程度大, 中央凹陷剩余地壳厚度均小于10km, 如陵水凹陷地壳厚度为~7.8km(图2), 长昌凹陷为~2.8km(图3)。中央凹陷两侧隆起地壳厚度则增加至~16~25km(图2、3)。然而, 珠江口盆地西部陆缘伸展减薄程度低, 地壳厚度由陆向海较均匀, 保持在~18~26km(图4)。珠江口盆地中部陆缘从陆向海方向伸展减薄程度增加, 地壳厚度从北部隆起的26km减薄至南部白云—荔湾深水区的8~9km(图5)。珠江口盆地东部陆缘伸展减薄程度再次减小, 其中潮汕凹陷地壳厚度为~25km (张云帆 等, 2007)。台西南盆地陆缘又出现了从陆向海的快速伸展减薄, 北部陆架区地壳厚度为~25km, 陆坡区减薄至~4km, 至洋陆过渡带地壳厚度又增加至~12~15km(Lester et al, 2014)。因此, 南海北部陆缘地壳伸展减薄东西向很不均匀(图1a), 弱伸展区域地壳厚度大都在20km以上, 强伸展区域则有地壳厚度被显著减薄至10km以下(图2—5), 而且陆缘西部琼东南盆地伸展减薄比东部珠江口盆地更为显著(图3和5)。南海北部陆缘这种空间不均匀伸展特征是由中生代基底构造格架和新生代伸展过程联合控制的。南海北部陆缘中生代基底是由NE和NW走向大型断裂分割的不同属性地块组成的, 晚中生代地层和沉积环境也具有东西分异特征(陈汉宗 等, 2005; 易海 等, 2012; Sun et al, 2014a)。新生代在近SE向伸展应力作用下, 陆缘产生了南北分带的构造格架, 同时陆缘伸展过程中还发生了顺时针旋转(Sun et al, 2009), 旋转极在Briais等(1993)根据磁条带确定的印支地块西侧, 使陆缘东部岩石圈破裂和海底扩张都要比西部早。当东部海盆扩张时(~33—23.6Ma), 西部陆缘仍在持续伸展减薄, 使陆缘西部琼东南盆地伸展应变明显比东部珠江口盆地大(Hayes et al, 2005)。由于基底地块构造属性不同, 具有东西分异特征(陈汉宗 等, 2005; 易海 等, 2012; Sun et al, 2014a), 在新生代伸展作用下陆缘还表现出东西向强伸展和弱伸展交替出现的分块特征(图1)。那么, 强、弱伸展块体之间如何受大型走滑断层调节?走滑断层与洋盆内转换断层和南部陆缘走滑断层(图1a)是否相连?这些问题还需进一步分析。

3.2 南海北部陆缘伸展先慢后快二阶段特征

通过应变速率分析, 发现南海北部陆缘强伸展与弱伸展地块虽然拉伸应变量不同, 但应变速率在时间上均具有先慢、后快二阶段特征(图6—9)。在强伸展陆缘, 如琼东南盆地和珠江口盆地中部陆缘, 最大伸展应变速率均在4×10-15~7×10-15s-1之间, 地壳最大伸展系数为4~10(图6、7和9)。在弱伸展陆缘, 如珠江口盆地西部, 最大拉伸应变速率小于1×10-15s-1, 最大伸展系数小于1.9(图8)。但南海北部陆缘张裂期应变均表现出先慢后快二阶段特征。在琼东南盆地, 应变速率在张裂早期(45—28.4Ma)均小于3×10-15s-1, 在张裂晚期(28.4—23Ma)增加到4×10-15~7×10-15s-1(图6、7)。在珠江口盆地中部陆缘, 应变速率在张裂早期(56—38Ma)小于1×10-15s-1, 在张裂晚期(38—33.9Ma)达到4×10-15s-1(图9)。在珠江口盆地西部陆缘(开平凹陷除外), 应变速率在张裂早期(56—38Ma)小于3×10-16s-1, 在张裂晚期(38—33.9Ma)增加至1×10-15s-1(图9)。张裂陆缘伸展应变先慢后快的特点具有全球性特征, 如大西洋共轭陆缘和澳大利亚—南极共轭陆缘等, 被认为是由应变积累引起岩石圈强度降低和应变速率增加导致的(Brune et al, 2016)。在珠江口盆地西部陆缘开平凹陷, 张裂期应变速率则有早快、晚慢的特点, 可能与存在继承性基底断层, 并在张裂早期就被活化有关(图4)。在珠江口盆地西部和中部裂后阶段(33.9—16Ma), 发育弱断层活动和低伸展应变(图4、5、8和9), 可能与南海穿时打开过程相关。

3.3 南海北部陆缘脉动式构造升降及裂后先慢后快、东早西晚的发育特征

采用伸展校正回剥新技术, 获得了南海北部陆缘从张裂到裂后各时期构造升降量和速率(图10—15), 发现陆缘构造升降从东到西都表现为脉动式、快慢交替的特征(图10—15)。陆缘西部琼东南盆地自始新世以来经历了快—慢—快—慢4个阶段构造升降过程(图10、11和14): 张裂早期(45—28.4Ma)基底构造沉降快, 张裂晚期(28.4—23Ma)至裂后早期(23—11.6Ma)基底构造沉降慢或缓慢抬升, 裂后中期(11.6—5.5Ma)基底构造沉降变快, 裂后晚期(5.5—0Ma)基底构造沉降再次变慢。珠江口盆地新生代以来主要经历了快—慢—快—慢—快5个阶段构造升降演化(图12、13和15): 张裂阶段(56—33.9Ma)基底构造沉降大, 裂后早期(33.9—23Ma)基底构造沉降慢, 裂后中期(23—10Ma)基底构造沉降快, 裂后晚期10—5.3Ma基底构造沉降减慢, 裂后晚期5.3—0Ma基底构造沉降再次加快。在珠江口盆地中部发生强伸展减薄的白云—荔湾深水区, 张裂后期(38—33.9Ma)基底也出现缓慢构造沉降或抬升(P22—P24, 图15)。在陆缘局部隆起或断层上升盘, 张裂早期基底均表现为构造抬升, 如图14和15中的P7、P12、P13、P15、P17、P18、P20和P23。
结合前人在台西南盆地(Lin et al, 2003)和莺歌海盆地(Xie et al, 2006)开展的构造沉降研究, 发现南海北部陆缘各盆地脉动式、快慢交替构造升降在时间上并不同步, 尤其是在裂后阶段, 构造升降表现为4幕先慢后快及东早西晚的特征(图16): 第1幕缓慢构造沉降或抬升发生在陆缘破裂前后, 持续约10~20Myr, 最早出现在东部台西南盆地(Lin et al, 2003), 然后逐渐向西迁移至珠江口盆地和琼东南盆地(图16)。第2幕快速构造沉降持续~10Myr, 最早也出现在台西南盆地, 并向西迁移至珠江口、琼东南和莺歌海盆地(图16)。第3幕构造抬升和第4幕构造沉降发生顺序也都东早西晚, 持续时间均约5Myr(图16)。

3.4 南海北部陆缘构造升降机制

南海北部陆缘脉动式、快慢交替的构造升降特征与理论预测的张裂期快、裂后慢二阶段沉降模型不同(Mckenzie, 1978; Jarvis et al, 1980), 可能受岩石圈不规则伸展、区域板块作用和深部地幔活动等影响。前人研究表明, 台西南盆地渐新世(~37—30Ma)构造抬升是由陆缘减薄过程中小规模次生地幔对流引起的(Lin et al, 2003), 随后地幔对流减弱诱发了快速构造沉降(~30—18Ma)(Lin et al, 2003)。珠江口盆地与东部次海盆直接相邻, 其在陆缘破裂前后的缓慢构造沉降或抬升(~38—23Ma)可能与软流圈上涌产生的次生地幔流相关(Xie et al, 2021), 也可能与岩浆底辟有关(Shi et al, 2005), 随后的快速构造沉降(~23—10Ma)也有多种解释, 包括南海洋中脊跳跃(He et al, 2017; Xie et al, 2021), 岩浆活动后的热冷却(Shi et al, 2005), 动力地形(Xie et al, 2006), 沉积负载引起下地壳流(Liao et al, 2011; Clift et al, 2015)等。盆地在~10—5.3Ma的构造抬升和在~5.3—0Ma的构造沉降被解释为与吕宋岛弧与南海陆缘碰撞和随后台湾造山运动有关(He et al, 2017)。珠江口盆地荔湾深水区在~23Ma后的大幅度快速沉降(P24, 图15)还可能叠加了邻近大洋岩石圈热冷却拖曳作用。在琼东南盆地, 前人研究表明陆缘破裂前后的深部地幔上升流引起了基底缓慢构造沉降或抬升(~28.4—11.6Ma)(Zhao, 2021), 随后地幔上升流减弱或消失产生了快速构造沉降(~11.6—5.5Ma)(Zhao, 2021)。盆地在~5.5—0Ma慢速构造沉降可能与台湾造山运动相关, 但其西北部的快速构造沉降(P1—P3, 图14)很可能由红河右行走滑引起(Zhao et al, 2018c)。由此可见, 前人对南海北部陆缘构造升降的解释复杂多样, 尤其是对珠江口盆地构造升降机制的解释充满争议。南海北部陆缘脉动式构造升降, 尤其是裂后先慢后快、东早西晚的特点, 是否与南海自东向西穿时破裂过程相关, 是否有较为统一的机制来解释, 还需要开展更多的工作。结合前人研究, 本文初步分析认为珠江口盆地裂后早期(33.9—23Ma)的缓慢沉降或抬升可能与陆缘破裂和南海打开相关, 由于陆缘岩石圈破裂造成岩石圈挠曲回弹和南海快速扩张导致软流圈上涌诱发次生地幔对流, 使陆缘沉降减缓甚至抬升; 随着南海持续扩张, 洋中脊不断远离陆缘、向南跃迁直至停止活动, 陆缘受到地幔对流的影响不断减弱, 并在裂后23—10Ma发生快速沉降(图15、16)。由于琼东南盆地远离西南次海盆(~500km), 琼东南盆地所在陆缘裂后(23—11.6Ma)的缓慢沉降或抬升受洋中脊传播到并在西南次海盆扩张的影响小, 更可能是受到已经揭示的地幔上升流引起的动力抬升的控制(Zhao, 2021), 并随着动力抬升的消失, 陆缘在11.6—5.5Ma产生快速沉降(图14、16)。此外, 在地壳强烈减薄区域, 如白云凹陷(P22, 图5、16)、荔湾凹陷(P24, 图5、16)和台西南盆地(Lin et al, 2003)等, 陆缘均在张裂后期有很大的伸展应变速率(图9), 但却产生了缓慢沉降或抬升(P22、P24, 图15), 这可能与陆缘强烈伸展引起的次生地幔对流有关。次生地幔对流是岩石圈伸展过程中由于软流圈上涌和温度结构不均匀产生的小型地幔粘性流动, 尺度通常在~100km或更小(Keen, 1985; Buck, 1986)。小型地幔流动将会减缓岩石圈冷却沉降, 并使地表抬升(Buck, 1985), 但其幅度通常受裂谷形态、应变速率和黏度的影响(Buck, 1986)。在南海陆缘强伸展减薄区, 次生地幔对流强度如何, 对陆缘升降带来多大影响, 还需要开展数值模拟加以具体分析。

4 结论

采用最新提出的伸展校正回剥技术, 对南海北部陆缘新生代伸展应变和从张裂到裂后的构造升降过程开展了详细研究。南海北部陆缘伸展减薄空间上差别大, 强伸展与弱伸展不仅具有南北分带特点, 还表现出东西交替出现的分块特征。琼东南盆地、珠江口盆地中部、台西南盆地陆缘伸展减薄大, 部分地壳厚度被减薄至10km以下; 而珠江口西部、珠江口盆地东部陆缘伸展减薄小, 地壳厚度大都在20km以上。强伸展与弱伸展陆缘拉伸应变不同, 但应变速率在时间上均具有张裂早期慢、晚期快的二阶段特征。强伸展陆缘最大伸展应变速率在4×10-15~7×10-15s-1之间, 地壳最大伸展系数为4~10; 弱伸展陆缘最大拉伸应变速率小于1×10-15s-1, 最大伸展系数小于1.9。南海北部陆缘构造升降具有脉动式、快慢交替的特征。张裂期构造沉降快, 裂后构造升降表现为4幕先慢后快及东早西晚的特点。陆缘西部琼东南盆地脉动式升降主要与深部地幔上升流引起的动力地形有关。陆缘东部珠江口和台西南盆地脉动式构造升降则可能受南海打开过程以及吕宋岛弧与南海陆缘碰撞的影响。
