对广东省中南部广(州)-从(化)活动断裂带北段断层泥中的石英碎粒进行了扫描电子显微镜(SEM)微形貌分析和电子自旋共振法(ESR)测年。研究结果显示,石英微形貌特征在断裂活动的刻蚀阶段主要表现为放射状、阶步状断口以及平直擦痕,在后期溶蚀阶段以Ⅰ_(A)类和Ⅰ_(B)类特征为主兼有Ⅰ_(C)类和Ⅱ-Ⅲ类形迹;石英ESR年龄为234~296 ka BP。据此分析,该研究地段的广从断裂带在第四纪至少有4次活动,其主要活动期在中更新世中晚期至晚更新世早期,在上新世也有轻微活动;断裂运动性质以快速滑动的粘滑为主,兼有缓慢运动的蠕滑;力学性质为压剪性和张剪性并存。尽管这些特征显示该地段广从断裂带在全新世活动性较弱,但断裂带造成的岩石破碎性和地形反差致使工程建筑的地基非常脆弱。因此,对该地段流溪河特大桥及周边地段应切实加强潜在地质灾害的监测和防治。
The southeastern Chinese Loess Plateau is the terminal deposition area of dusts transported by the East Asian winter monsoon and the frontal area penetrated by the East Asian summer monsoon,and thus a climate sensitive region.This paper reports a rock magnetic study of a Quaternary loess-paleosol section in such a region.We tried to reconstruct the paleoclimate evolution history in the region during 1.95–0.40 Ma with magnetic parameters.The results show a general up-section decreasing trend of the ratio of HIRM/(SIRM–IRM100 mT),indicating a long-term decreasing trend of hematite coercivities in the deposits,which can be mainly related to the cooling and aridification trend of the environment in interglacial depositional area and glacial dust source region.The ratio,lf/ARM,widely used to reflect the variations of magnetic mineral grain size,manifests a long-term increasing trend of the magnetic mineral grain size and tends to indicate an overall weakening trend of the East Asian summer monsoon that controlled the pedogenic intensity.Although the regional multi-segmented paleoclimatic records revealed by several magnetic parameters in our study,the long-term Asian cooling and aridification trend inferred here is of global correlation significance.
Sediments of core YSJD-86GC(referred to as86GC)collected from the southern South China Sea were selected for environmental magnetic studies.Combined with the published chronological framework,sediment magnetic properties were revealed for the study area since the MIS3 stage.The rock magnetic results indicate that low-coercivity magnetite is the main magnetic mineral within the sediments.Also,a certain amounts of hematite are present.The King plot and Day plot,which reflect the magnetic particle size,show that fine-grained pseudo-single-domain phase magnetic particles dominate the magnetic minerals in the sediments.Comparison of magnetic parameters and geochemical indicators show that magnetic properties of core 86GC sediments reflect a terrigenous input.Simultaneously,magnetic characteristics of the studied sediment are influenced by the quantity of terrigenous sediment input,oxidation-reduction conditions of the provenance area,and the transportation environment and distance.Sea level fluctuation caused by global climate change was the main factor for variation in concentration of magnetic minerals and magnetic particle size of thestudied core sediments.Thus,variation of sediment magnetic properties in the study area can be used as an indirect indicator of sea level fluctuation.
