Abstract

Taishan Mountain in the eastern China is a normal-fault-controlled range that formed during the Meso-Cenozoic, in response to large-scale extension and lithospheric thinning of the North China Craton. However, constraints on the timing of the polyphase extensional events which formed the Taishan edifice remain poorly resolved, hindering a detailed understanding of the landscape evolution of this prominent mountain. Here, we conducted apatite (U-Th)/He dating on sixteen samples from three profiles perpendicular in the Taishan Mountain, with a major view to control structures in Taishan Mountain and to resolve the Meso-Cenozoic landscape evolution. The newly determined apatite (U-Th)/He ages show a wide variation range of ~113 to 30 Ma, indicating a slow and protracted cooling history. The inverse thermal history modeling results reveal two pulses of enhanced cooling at ~80 to 60 and 55 to 50 Ma, which we interpret as exhumation related to normal fault activity. Furthermore, one-dimensional modeling indicates that the magnitude of tectonic exhumation is constrained at ≥15 m/Myr across the Yunbuqiao, Zhongtianmen, and Taishan Piedmont faults. Integrating this study and published studies, we suggest that Taishan Mountain underwent four-stage evolution since 100 Ma: (1) the whole Taishan Mountain commenced a continuous and slow exhumation under a weaker tensional environment at ~100 to 80 Ma, (2) the joint growth and interactions within a normal fault system resulted in rapid uplift and promoted the formation of the Proto-Taishan Mountain at ~80 to 60 Ma, (3) the Taishan Mountain underwent exhumation at ~55 to 50 Ma, interpreted as a tectonic response to the Taishan Piedmont Fault, and (4) the last stage (~50 to 0 Ma), the Taishan Mountain experienced protracted exhumation related to normal faulting until now. We attribute the extensive normal faulting to the subduction and slab rollback of the Izanagi-Pacific Plates, which shaped the present-day geomorphology of Taishan Mountain.
中国东部泰山正断层相关地貌演化的磷灰石(U-Th)/He 热年代学约束
位于中国东部的泰山是中新生代时期因华北克拉通大规模延伸和岩石圈减薄而形成的正断层控制山脉。然而,对形成泰山大厦的多期伸展事件的时间限制仍然没有得到很好的解决,这阻碍了对这座突出山峰的地貌演化的详细了解。在此,我们对泰山三个垂直剖面的16个样品进行了磷灰石(U-Th)/He测年,主要目的是控制泰山构造,解析中新生代地貌演化。新测定的磷灰石(U-Th)/He年龄在约113-30Ma之间变化很大,表明冷却历史缓慢而漫长。反向热史建模结果显示,在〜80至60 Ma和55至50 Ma出现了两次强化冷却,我们将其解释为与正常断层活动有关的掘起。此外,一维建模表明,云步桥、中天门和泰山皮德蒙特断层的构造抬升幅度被限制在≥15 m/Myr。综合本研究和已发表的研究,我们认为泰山自100Ma以来经历了四个阶段的演化:(3) 在〜55至50Ma,泰山山体经历了隆升,被解释为对泰山山腹断层的构造响应;以及 (4) 在最后阶段(〜50至0Ma),泰山山体经历了与正断层有关的长期隆升,直至今日。我们将大范围的正断层归因于伊三纳格-太平洋板块的俯冲和板块回滚,从而形成了今天的泰山地貌。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
