青藏高原及邻区地幔对流应力场及地球动力学含义

Mantle Convection Generated Stress Field Beneath Tibetan Plateau and Its Adjacent Areas and Its Geodynamic Implication

  • 摘要: 基于改进的Runcorn模型,利用布格重力异常计算了青藏高原及邻区地幔对流应力场。数值结果显示,青藏高原中部、北部和天山为应力发散区,对应地幔上升流,而塔里木、柴达木、四川盆地等地区则为应力汇聚区,对应下降区。地幔对流形态与地表特征之间的相关性表明,青藏高原下小尺度地幔对流可能是控制该区区域性构造过程的重要因素之一。

     

    Abstract: The collision and compression between the India and Eurasia plates can not generate all the tectonic features of Tibetan Plateau and the uplift of Kunlun,Tianshan and great depression of Tarim and other basins.We have to seek an other geodynamic mechanism to clarify the continental dynamic process.The stress field induced by mantle convection beneath Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent areas is calculated by using the Bouguer gravity anomalies based on an improved Runcorn's scheme.The stress divergent zones,corresponding upwellings of mantle flow,are located beneath central and northern Tibetan Plateau and Tianshan,while convergent ones,downwellings,under Tarim,Qaidam and Sichuan basins.
