    摘要:

    已发表的大量海洋地质、地球物理调查和海底钻探文献资料表明,现今大西洋、印度洋、太平洋的不同部位——海底高原、深海平原、海沟、转换断层以至大洋中脊都可以找到大陆残块或大陆壳的痕迹。值得注意的是,大洋盆地中已经发现的大陆残块,在全球磁异常图上,大多位于南美洲、非洲、欧洲、南极洲、大洋洲的大陆磁异常带向相邻大洋盆地延伸部分,二者互相印证。这说明,具有大陆磁异常特征的这部分大洋盆地的基底具有大陆壳的性质,这是否意味着现代大洋的相当一部分深海盆地并不是以典型的大洋地壳,而是以大陆属性的地壳为基底的。然而,在世界地质图上,这些深海盆地的底多被以海底磁异常条带为基础的海底扩张模型解释为白垩纪的大洋地壳。这就不得不使我们对根据Vine—Matthews假说建立的海底扩张模型产生质疑。基于上述事实,我们认为,在大地构造研究中,不仅要在各时代的造山带中寻找消失的大洋,而且要在各个时期的海洋中寻找消失的大陆,才能更准确地进行古构造—古地理再造,还原各地史时期大地构造的真实面貌。我们认为,大陆经裂谷作用转化为大洋,大洋经造山作用转化为大陆的过程中,必然存在着地球各层圈之间,特别是壳幔之间的物理、化学作用。因此,大地构造研究必须从全球整体出发,注意物质水平运动的同时,还要更加注意研究壳与幔、幔与核,以及壳、幔、核的不同层次之间能量的转换和物质转化过程,才能对大陆与大洋的形成和演化过程作出正确的判断。

    Abstract:

    A great volume of marine geological and geophysical survey and ocean floor drilling data available demonstrates that there are many ancient continental fragments and crustal remnants discovered from different localities, namely ocean floor plateau, abyssal plain, mid ocean ridge, transform fault as well as ocean trench, in the present day Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. It is interesting to note that a considerable number of fragments are distributed mainly in continental magnetic anomaly areas of South America, Africa, Europe, Antarctica and Oceania extending into oceanic basins, as is shown on the Magnetic Anomaly Map of the World, suggesting that parts of the recent oceans are deep sea basins with floors being of the nature of continental crust rather than oceanic crust. Nevertheless, the floors of these deep sea basins on the Geological Map of the World are illustrated as Cretaceous oceanic crust by the use of the model of sea floor spreading produced according to the Vine—Matthews hypothesis, which does not agree with where it is. For this reason, we cannot but question about the present model employed. In our opinion, in order to effectively make paleotectonic—paleogeographic reconstruction and restore the tectonics of various geological stages to its original features, it is necessary to search not only for disappeared oceans in the orogenic belts of different periods, but also for submerged land masses in the oceans of different periods in studying their tectonics. We consider that during the processes when a continent was transformed into an ocean due to rifting or an ocean into a continent through orogeny there invariably took place physical and chemical action between Earth’s layered spheres, especially between the crust and mantle. Therefore, if the problem concerning the formation and evolution of continents and oceans is expected to be satisfactorily explained, we must direct our more attention towards how and why material and energy transformation occur between the crust and mantle and the mantle and core, and between the layers within the crust, mantle and core, while studying the horizontal motion of material.
