| 英文摘要 | We analyze the upper mantle structure of western China based on tomographic results. The results show that the uppermost mantle of the Tibetan plateau and western Yunnan are widely dominated by slow seismic velocities. At greater depths, however, these slow velocities are mostly concentrated in the Qiangtang area of northern Tibet, the Songpan-Ganzi area of eastern Tibet and western Yunnan, which are surrounded by fast velocities in the India, Tarim, Qaidam, Ordos and Sichuan basins. A synthetic analysis indicates that the velocity variations at these depths are closely related to the lithospheric mantle structure and deep dynamic features of the Tibetan plateau and surrounding areas. Among them, the slow velocities beneath the Qiangtang area reflect the partial mantle upwelling produced by the northward penetration of the Indian continental lithosphere into the Tibetan plateau; the slow velocities beneath the Songpan-Ganzi terrain are related to the lateral deep flow of eastern Tibet and the obstruction of the rigid lithosphere of the Sichuan basin, while the slow velocities beneath western Yunnan is apparently affected by the eastward subduction of the India-Burma plate. These three areas are considered to be underlain by an anomalous mantle. On the contrary, the fast upper mantle velocities of the areas surrounding the Tibetan plateau, such as the India continent, Tarim, Qaidam, Ordos and Sichuan basins, reflect the features of the lithospheric mantle structure in tectonically stable continental blocks. We infer that the mantle upwelling and ductile deformation are not distributed throughout the Tibetan plateau, rather concentrated in the Qiangtang Songpan-Ganzi and western Yunnan, which has resulted in the thinning of the lithosphere and volcanic and magmatic activities. |
