摘要:应用岩石地球化学数据定量、半定量估算岩浆弧地壳厚度的方法包括:钙碱性岩套K2O含量、w(Sr)/w(Y)值、w(La)N/w(Yb)N值,玄武质岩石Na2O含量、CaO含量、w(Ce)/w(Y)值等。目前提出的定量公式对厚度在20~45 km范围内的俯冲造山带地壳厚度反演结果可靠性较高。中酸性岩w(Dy)/w(Yb)值可以指示造山带是否存在加厚的地壳。应用岩石地球化学数据定量、半定量反演造山带地壳厚度的公式要求:明确其适用条件与应用范围;有足够数量的样本;进行数据筛选并且剔除离群值。藏南冈底斯弧的实例研究表明,w(La)N/w(Yb)N值能够估算碰撞造山带古地壳厚度,印度板块与亚洲大陆碰撞引起的地壳显著增厚导致冈底斯地体中酸性岩浆岩w(Sr)/w(Y)值、w(La)N/w(Yb)N值在40 Ma以来明显跃升。三江地区三叠纪义敦岛弧地壳厚度为60 km;福建长乐—南澳构造带早白垩世时期岩浆弧的地壳厚度为42 km;辽西地区中侏罗世—早白垩世时期火山岩地壳厚度为50~65 km。

Abstract: The petrogeochemical data, which include K2O content, w(Sr)/w(Y) and w(La)N/w(Yb)N of calcalkaline suite, and Na2O and CaO contents and w(Ce)/w(Y) of basaltic rocks, can be used to quantitatively or semiquantitatively estimate the crustal thickness of magmatic arc. The quantitative formulas are reliable to calculate the crustal thickness (2045 km) of subduction orogenic belt. w(Dy)/w(Yb) of intermediateacidic rocks can constrain the thick crust with more than 50 km. The proper application for quantitatively or semiquantitatively estimating the crustal thickness of orogenic belt requires that obeying the conditions and scopes of the method, gathering a dataset for analysis as large as possible, and doing data screen and outlier elimination. For the case of Gangdese in the southern Tibet, it concludes that w(La)N/w(Yb)N can be used to estimate the thickness of crustal thickness in the postcollisional environment. The remarkable jump of w(Sr)/w(Y) and w(La)N/w(Yb)N of intermediate magmatic rocks in Gangdese terrane since 40 Ma is due to the crust thickening caused by the collision between India plate and Asia continent. The crustal thickness of Triassic Yidun island arc in Sanjiang area is 60 km; that of Early Cretaceous magmatic arc in ChangleNanao tectonic zone of Fujian is 42 km; that of Middle JurassicEarly Cretaceous volcanic rocks in the western Liaoning is 5065 km.

0引言
定量或半定量地确定造山带地壳厚度具有重要的理论意义,地壳厚度变化是造山过程中构造运动的直观表现。基于Airy均衡理论,地壳厚度变化必然导致地表高程的变化,而地表高程的起伏会影响大陆的古气候(行星风系、温度)、古環境,进而对生物的演化产生影响[12]。Chiaradia研究认为,斑岩铜矿的规模与岛弧地壳厚度存在正相关关系[3];因此,恢复造山带(古)地壳厚度具有指导矿产勘探选区的重要意义。……
