| 英文摘要 | Since the first detection of the low-velocity layer atop the 410-km discontinuity in 1990s, the seismic structure has been revealed in many subduction zones and continental craton regions. Its characteristics and mechanism of formation are among one of the hottest topics in studies of deep mantle structure, physical properties of mantle material, and geodynamic processes. We focus on the detection and feature investigation of the low-velocity layer atop the 410-km discontinuity in the northwestern Pacific subduction zone in this study. By modeling P triplicate waveforms from two intermediate-depth earthquakes, which are recorded by regional network stations, we obtain the P wave velocity structure near the 410-km discontinuity beneath northeast China and northwest area of Japan Sea. A low-velocity layer with thickness similar to 47 +/- 14 km and similar to 2% velocity anomaly is detected above the Mantle Transition Zone, covering a lateral range around 700 km. Combined with results from regional seismic tomography, high pressure and high temperature experiments and geodynamic simulations, we regard the "bottom-to-up" upwelling model an unlikely mechanism for the observed low-velocity layer; instead, we propose that the low-velocity layer may represent the partially melted silicates caused by dehydration of the cold and fast subducting Pacific slab near the 410-km discontinuity. The higher density makes it stable at the 410 km depth and produces the observed widely distributed low-velocity layer. |
