英文摘要 | The crustal structure in Sundaland, where the Eurasian, Indo-Australian and Pacific plates are converged, is of great importance to understanding the tectonic evolution of continent-ocean transitions and associated material recycling and energy exchange. In this study, we analyze the P-wave receiver function waveforms of 19 broadband seismic stations in Sundaland and apply the H-kappa stacking technique to estimate both crustal thickness and average V-p/V-s ratio. Different processing parameters are jointly employed to reduce the uncertainty of H-kappa estimation. We then combine previous results from 146 broadband stations to obtain the spatial variation of crustal thickness and V-P/V-s ratio, as well as their correlations. The results show that the average crustal thickness is about 32 km in Sundaland, obviously less than the global average beneath orogenic belts but close to that beneath extensional areas, suggesting that the crust in the region has been extended and thinned. A thicker crust with an average of 38 km, however, can be found beneath the Khorat plateau basin. In the volcanic arcs, the V-P/V-S ratio is significantly high (>1.81 and even >1. 87), spatially corresponding to the regions where low velocity layers appear within the crust, probably indicating the existence of partially molten materials. In non-volcanic areas, the crustal V-P/V-S ratios are generally less than 1.76, although relatively high V-P/V-S ratios (>1. 81 and even reach up to 1.99) appear in some local areas. Therefore, we infer that the crust is dominantly felsic in composition in Sundaland, but in some local areas, the crust is dominated by mafic composition or partial melting due to the underplating and upwelling of basaltic magma. P-wave receiver function waveforms present double or multiple peaks at the arrivals around the Ps and PPPS phases in midwestern Indochina, northwestern Borneo and middle Malay peninsula, where we speculate that the crust and mantle have interacted strongly with each other. We do not observe a clear correlation between the crustal thickness and V-P/V-S ratio for the whole Sundaland region, suggesting a complex regional variation in the crustal structures and composition. However, the negative correlations can be clearly found in both the Khorat plateau basin and volcanic areas in southeastern Indochina. According to the regional tectonics and various geophysical observations, we infer that the crust in Khorat plateau basin and its adjacent areas might be thickened during the extrusion of the Indochina terrane, and mantle upwelling may exist in southeastern Indochina, accounting for both the crustal extension and magmatic underplating. |
