Discussion on the Influence of Weakness Body on Compression Structure Deformation Through Analogue Modeling and Its Application
-
摘要: 为了研究软弱地质体对挤压构造变形的影响, 利用物理模拟方法, 设置了6组实验模型, 探讨软弱体不同面积、所处位置和挤压应力方向对构造变形的影响, 最后基于模拟结果, 讨论了软弱体对莺—琼两盆地凹陷中心挤压褶皱发育的影响.结果表明: 在挤压作用下, 软弱区先迅速隆起, 随后隆起向无软弱体区延伸发育, 软弱区隆起发育范围大于无软弱体区隆起范围, 且其褶皱变形比无软弱体区变形更强烈; 随着软弱体铺设面积不断增大, 软弱区的变形范围越来越大, 变形也越来越强烈, 而无软弱体区变形范围基本保持不变; 软弱区离所受挤压边界距离越近, 挤压构造变形发育就越早, 表现越强烈, 反之, 构造变形发育晚且表现弱; 正向挤压比斜向挤压形成的构造变形更强烈.由分析可知, 与莺—琼两盆地凹陷中心的挤压褶皱发育特征相关的因素主要是: 软弱体和其与受斜向挤压作用带间有一定距离.笔者推测, 斜压应力主要来源于印支地块的左旋挤出作用, 其褶皱个体发育的区域大小与软弱体初始面积大小有关.Abstract: To investigate the influence of weakness body on compression, we carry out six sets of analogue modeling experiments to study the impact of size, location as well as the force direction of weakness body on structural deformation.Based on the modeling results, effects of weakness body on compression structure deformation in the Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basin are discussed.Experiments show that during compression, uplift first appears and propagates rapidly in area with weakness body, then the uplift appears in non-weakness body, the uplift area in weakness body is bigger than that in area without weakness body, and its fold deformation is stronger than that of non-weakness body.With larger weakness body, the deformation region of weakness body becomes bigger, and the deformation gets stronger.However, the deformation region of non-weakness body stays stable.When the weakness body is located closer to compressive boundary, the deformation of compressive structures appears earlier and stronger; otherwise the deformation is later and weaker.The compressive deformation is stronger under normal compression than that under oblique compression.By experimental modeling, we conclude that the features of compression fold in middle sag of Yinggehai basin and Qiongdongnan basin may be related with distance of oblique compress boundary and the existence of weakness body, and the oblique compress stress comes from sinistral slip of Indochina block.Some fold size is connected with initial size of weakness body.
