英文摘要 | Postrift subsidence of sedimentary basins in the northern margin of the South China Sea exceeds more than 2,.000 m, which points toward anomalous postrift crustal deformation. Previous studies have proposed lower crustal flow to explain this observation; however, this hypothesis has never been confirmed quantitatively. Here, we calculate the initial crustal structure and thermal lithospheric thickness of the northern margin of the South China Sea on the basis of recently measured heat flow data, tectonic subsidence curves, and present-day crustal structure. Crustal thinning processes during rifting and reduced thickness of the lower crust in the postrift are also calculated by the strain rate inversion method and thermal isostasy. Our results show that the initial (Early Cenozoic) crustal thickness of the northern margin of the South China Sea varies between 27.7 and 36.3 km, and the average proportion of the lower crust is 67%. The initial thermal lithospheric thicknesses decrease from similar to 118 to similar to 81 km from the shelf to the sea, which indicates that the offshore margin has high temperatures and low strength and is more easily stretched and deformed. The average stretching factor the margin during rifting is 1.24. The lower crust reduces in thickness during the postrift phase by values between 1 and 11 km, which increases gradually from the shelf to deep water. We suggest that the thicker weak crust and hot lithospheric structure therefore make positive contribution to the lower crustal flow, the direction of which is from the oceanic basin to the shelf. |
