西昆仑造山带变形古应力差值、应变速率估算及结果分析

文章对西昆仑造山带早华力西变形期的古应力差值、应变速率进行了估算，并对估算的结果进行了分析。对透射电镜所拍摄的变形颗粒位错形态照片，采用位错密度、动态重结晶和亚晶粒粒径等方法进行古应力差值的估算，并估算了该期变形的应变速率。古应力差值σ１－σ３＝８０～１５０ＭＰａ，应变速率６×１０－１４～２×１０－１３ｓ－１，为中速应变。初步推算，该期变形作用大约持续了２．１６Ｍａ。     

Late Tertiary faults and their paleostress along the boundary between the Kuqa Basin and the Tianshan Mountains

Field investigation shows that the boundary between the Kuqa Basin and the Tianshan Mountains can be divided into two sections with the Yanbulak area as the dividing point. In the western section, the Mesozoic strata overlie unconformably on the Paleozoic rocks. The basin-dipping faults developed in both Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks. The eastern section is characterized by basin-dipping normal faults separating the Paleozoic strata and Tertiary. The brittle structural analysis was carried out along the basin-range boundary. 360 measurements of striations have been obtained at a total of 25 sites. Paleostress reconstruction indicates that the basin-range boundary was in an extensional condition, with some superimposed strike-slip, during the Late Tertiary. The extension could be explained by the vertical block uplift of the Tianshan Mountains.
