基于地震反射、地震折射和广角反射资料,研究了东北大西洋横跨非洲-欧亚大陆格洛里亚断层(GF)跨板块边界的海洋地壳和上岩石圈地幔结构。该实验使用了18个海底观测站,沿N-S 150公里长的横断面,并获得了多通道地震反射剖面。对泛地震波和重力异常的建模允许估计纵波和纵波速度、密度、泊松比和讨论成分模型。提出了一个五层模型,其中1-3层对应于典型海洋地壳第2层和第3层的正常沉积物。第5层的地幔速度超过7.9 km s−1。厚度为4 km的第4层的速度在7.1 ~ 7.4 km s−1之间,与典型的海洋壳幔层明显分离。与自然类似物和已发表的实验室测量结果的比较表明,第4层可能是符合估计的pandsvelocity和计算的泊松比和密度的岩性混合物,例如橄榄石堆积、橄榄岩、辉长岩和水合地幔。我们认为构造过程产生次生孔隙,由于裂缝中的海水循环导致蛇纹岩化。反射剖面的构造和地震地层学解释表明,该板块边界段新近至近代的构造变形集中在GF的南侧,即非洲板块。
The oceanic crustal and uppermost lithospheric mantle structure across the Gloria Fault (GF) transcurrent plate boundary between Africa and Eurasia in the Northeast Atlantic is investigated based on seismic reflection, seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection data. This experiment used 18 ocean bottom stations along an N–S 150 km long traverse together with acquisition of a multichannel seismic reflection profile. Modeling ofPandSseismic waves and gravimetric anomalies allowed estimation ofP- andS-wave velocities, density, Poisson's ratio and discussion of a compositional model. A five-layer model is proposed in which layers 1–3 correspond to normal sediments through typical oceanic crust layers 2 and 3. Layer 5 yielded mantle velocities above 7.9 km s−1. Layer 4 with 4 km of thickness hasVpvelocities between 7.1 and 7.4 km s−1and is clearly separated from typical oceanic crust and mantle layers. Comparison with natural analogues and published lab measurements suggest that layer 4 can be a mix of lithologies that comply with the estimatedPandSvelocities and computed Poisson's ratio and densities, such as, olivine cumulates, peridotite, gabbro and hydrated mantle. We favour the tectonic process that produces secondary porosity from which results serpentinization due to sea water circulation in fractures. Structural and seismic stratigraphic interpretation of the reflection profile shows that Neogene to recent tectonic deformation on this segment of the plate boundary concentrated on the southern side of the GF, that is, the Africa plate.
