Rock Exhumation Rates in Motuo Section of Yarlung Tsangpo River: Evidence from Biotite Ar/Ar Chronology
-
摘要: 为揭示东喜马拉雅构造结及其周边区域完整地质演化过程，对采集自雅鲁藏布江墨脱段10块基岩样品进行黑云母40Ar/39Ar测年，并利用“Pecube”软件对年龄代表隆升剥露速率进行定量计算.样品黑云母40Ar/39Ar年龄范围为11.25~24.04 Ma，对应隆升剥露速率范围为0.25~0.51 km/Ma.雅鲁藏布江墨脱段地壳隆升剥露速率存在明显南北差异，北段隆升剥露速率高出约0.2 km/Ma.年代学数据及计算结果表明，与东喜马拉雅构造结内部相比，雅鲁藏布江下游墨脱段为地壳隆升剥露活动相对较弱区域.与喜马拉雅地体向拉萨地体俯冲过程相关北西、北西西走向逆断层活动，不仅在东喜马拉雅构造结内部区域发育，在其东侧雅鲁藏布江墨脱段也可能发育.Abstract: To reveal the tectonic evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and its surrounding areas, in this paper it reports 10 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotite from Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. It quantitatively interprets the rock's uplift and exhumation rates represented by these ages, using a modeling code "Pecube". Biotite 40Ar/39Ar ages in this paper are in the range of 11.25-24.04 Ma. Corresponding exhumation rates are in the range of 0.25-0.51 km/Ma. The rock exhumation rates in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River have obvious differences between northern and southern, which is characterized by the northern exhumation rates about 0.2 km/Ma higher than the southern. The ages and simulation results show that relative to the inside of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, the exhumation rates in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River are lower. And the NW/NWW-trending thrust fault zones which were resulted by the collision between Himalayan terrane and Lhasa terrane, not only located in the inside of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, but also probably located in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
