00:03 | Alright. So we're gonna look, gonna finish our little uh discussion of |
|
|
00:14 | relative to the Wilson cycle with convergent basins. So basins that form along |
|
|
00:21 | margins include four arts and four lands intra arts for jeeps, things like |
|
|
00:27 | . Um So um yeah, so that little figure I showed you at |
|
|
00:34 | beginning of this discussion on Wilson cycles we talked about stage D. So |
|
|
00:41 | is the final closure. So the figure here, we have already, |
|
|
00:46 | know, there's already been an island that was created onto the continent there |
|
|
00:53 | that's been eroded and Penta planed but it's still approaching another continent to |
|
|
00:58 | east. And then with the final , I guess this is almost the |
|
|
01:04 | stages where they collide. But then , that's been a play and we |
|
|
01:10 | with our cycle all over again. here the fore arc, fore arc |
|
|
01:18 | would be located here in four land will be loaded located on this side |
|
|
01:23 | here as I'm showing down here. yeah, that's the four land Now |
|
|
01:29 | . So you might read literature for example, the Himalayas in |
|
|
01:34 | So if this were for example, Himalayas and to the south would be |
|
|
01:41 | that crashed into it. You might um literature where they called both sides |
|
|
01:47 | this four lands. And I guess a lot of truth to that. |
|
|
01:51 | I mean, I can understand that it would be um, you |
|
|
01:55 | asymmetric into the range on the southern , but also asymmetric on the other |
|
|
02:03 | . So I think uh Folks will about this stuff. We call this |
|
|
02:11 | a rhetoric for land. Is this the overriding plate and this one would |
|
|
02:16 | called a peripheral for land because it's the on the the subduction slab |
|
|
02:23 | But I don't really worry about it much, but just F. |
|
|
02:26 | I. There are different things most of the time people think in |
|
|
02:31 | of a subduction zone with A. are kinda for land. And so |
|
|
02:36 | what this figure shows, doesn't show collision, but it just shows a |
|
|
02:41 | with four our care and the four here and then they each have their |
|
|
02:48 | sort of structures associated with them and own normal nature. So Diesel's |
|
|
02:54 | Diesels came up with this idea. mean this sort of, you |
|
|
02:57 | you have the of course the origin way, which is the mountain belt |
|
|
03:02 | then that's actually, you know, the little sphere to flex the cross |
|
|
03:08 | lift the spirit to flex. And it flexes, it produces the balls |
|
|
03:13 | here. So the bulge has a bulge in the back bulge part according |
|
|
03:20 | peter and then the four deep is , you know inboard of the |
|
|
03:26 | So you have the or genic the wedge top, this is the |
|
|
03:29 | wedge and then the four deep, is completely, you know, there's |
|
|
03:34 | structuring, it's just pushed down. I've made a couple, I went |
|
|
03:41 | this this morning and I made a of adjustments and so I'm going to |
|
|
03:46 | the replacement and anything that's highlighted, it's just two places. So this |
|
|
03:50 | say for art before, it does four are here, I guess it's |
|
|
03:55 | , but I didn't really notice that morning um in any case. So |
|
|
04:00 | four arcs typically outboard, you have a creche in every prison, |
|
|
04:05 | right here, and that's where sediments basically piled up, that are, |
|
|
04:11 | know, being deposited from the, the land. But also you |
|
|
04:16 | it can include bits of cross that scraped away by the slab, you |
|
|
04:23 | , interaction with the overriding slab with overriding plate. And they say on |
|
|
04:30 | archive, I don't know if that's necessary, but I guess, I |
|
|
04:35 | it is, occurs often and that's basically from the crust being, you |
|
|
04:40 | , up thrust related to the down slab. And then on that continental |
|
|
04:48 | , you have a little arc that a little, I mean a little |
|
|
04:51 | that forms outboard of the mountain So that's the idea. And in |
|
|
04:57 | , you have inter art basin. we're gonna look at, you look |
|
|
05:00 | at least one of those that, know, the ark itself might |
|
|
05:05 | you know, there might be you know, to maybe two episodes |
|
|
05:10 | mountain building. I mean the, know, the Andes the Andes sit |
|
|
05:15 | , let's see 1233 or or sort some parallel with three other um or |
|
|
05:23 | episode? There's the pam pain which the oldest and the famous Iranian, |
|
|
05:29 | Gondwana in then the Andes. And there those are all preserved on |
|
|
05:36 | the Chilean, the Chilean and Peruvian . Um Okay, so we're going |
|
|
05:46 | look at a fork basin here in . So there's not a little map |
|
|
05:54 | south America here, is there? me see if I can find |
|
|
05:59 | I think I have a Yeah, Ecuador is right down here. |
|
|
06:05 | And that bit we're looking at is bit sticking out there. So, |
|
|
06:13 | . Okay. And this is actually few lights. This is basically uh |
|
|
06:22 | igneous province material. All this dark stuff that was created on two Ecuador |
|
|
06:33 | the caribbean plate was inserted between north south America. So, this is |
|
|
06:40 | of an example of how continental crust , is uh, is made. |
|
|
06:47 | . It's consists of, yes, tonic blocks and really old. But |
|
|
06:53 | also new crust being created all the with the accretion of large igneous provinces |
|
|
06:58 | island arcs. And they did spectral of gravity and magnetic anomaly data. |
|
|
07:11 | you have gravity anomalies on the left magnetic anomalies on the right. And |
|
|
07:17 | you tell me whether that's if that's or three air on the left. |
|
|
07:22 | it say? Did I put it ? I didn't label. Okay, |
|
|
07:25 | didn't say so. Would that be ? Is there ocean floor out |
|
|
07:34 | Here's the map in upper left. at that. Look at the upper |
|
|
07:38 | for left now compared with this. is it? It's okay. |
|
|
07:45 | It's full gay. That's correct. this is really a high density. |
|
|
07:50 | this is a high density block because is oceanic. This is a large |
|
|
07:54 | province that was created onto it. . But what they say here is |
|
|
07:59 | said the spectral analysis of gravity and , they define three geophysical domains and |
|
|
08:06 | of domain where the magnetic anomalies associated magic rocks. Right. So they're |
|
|
08:14 | that the Mayfair rocks are well defined defined by the Magnetics. That's this |
|
|
08:21 | up here. Okay. This the coastline you can see there is the |
|
|
08:25 | as the white coastline and that spit it's a low so it's magnetically alot |
|
|
08:33 | its affiliates which are ocean floor which you know, assaults and Gabrielle is |
|
|
08:38 | magnetic rocks. Much more magnetic than . That would be you know maybe |
|
|
08:44 | here. So why is it Mm Let's see there's a base in |
|
|
08:58 | . Could it be Salter mojo? , it's perversely polarized. That's why |
|
|
09:13 | magnetic anomalies are all all low intensity I mean it's very magnetic. |
|
|
09:19 | Because it's a it's very magnetic but but it's a low then. The |
|
|
09:26 | thing you should always think of is is that their reversal polarized. Make |
|
|
09:36 | that's not may turn out that's not right. But that's the first thing |
|
|
09:40 | would I mean that's what I would because this is this area is obviously |
|
|
09:44 | . Look at it. It's this a topographic map and it's a big |
|
|
09:49 | like a range. This is the . Have you ever been to California |
|
|
09:54 | or Washington state? No I So you've not heard of the coastal |
|
|
10:04 | ? I think we we talked about when I was in oceanography with dr |
|
|
10:09 | . Okay so here's how that This is the this is this is |
|
|
10:17 | the ark the land arc. And it's the same as for north America |
|
|
10:24 | would be the same as the So you can view this is like |
|
|
10:28 | Oregon, northern California. And then you have the coastal ranges which is |
|
|
10:33 | mountain range and it's the exact same as this. It's a created ocean |
|
|
10:39 | to create a few light. It's exact same thing. So this is |
|
|
10:43 | really common thing. Okay. And very magnetic and their lows here because |
|
|
10:51 | reversal polarized. It's very short wave year which tells you what what does |
|
|
10:56 | wavelengths tell you with magnetic data at shallow. No question on your |
|
|
11:13 | I'm sorry this morning. Like just me feel dumb. So I like |
|
|
11:17 | just feel dumb now. Mhm. shallow short wavelength of shallow long way |
|
|
11:24 | as deep. So what's going on ? It's not shallow, shallow, |
|
|
11:35 | ? It's not shallow. It's Right. Yeah, this is this |
|
|
11:43 | this is part of the coast. is this is part of the the |
|
|
11:47 | before they turn and turn and go and form the what they call the |
|
|
11:52 | Andes that run along, you Venezuela where there'll be more on |
|
|
11:56 | but probably friday. Okay. So um right in our area, |
|
|
12:04 | wavelengths, etcetera. So they have cross section a to a prime that |
|
|
12:10 | model through here. Right the same . So it goes right through the |
|
|
12:14 | lights and right through this gravity and anomaly there. And here's what that |
|
|
12:20 | like. So this is where the crust is sticking out. And this |
|
|
12:26 | the bit this is the bit that created and this is the same. |
|
|
12:30 | mean, this cross section could go through Washington Cook should could go right |
|
|
12:34 | Seattle. Um and see that if gave me a model where they had |
|
|
12:43 | profile like this and it was an scale to fit this whole window, |
|
|
12:47 | that that bugs me. That they it like this. Especially in a |
|
|
12:52 | . Um I mean, they can show more more detail in this |
|
|
12:57 | So what are they hiding? This what I think. What are they |
|
|
13:02 | ? I mean, why don't you make it plus or minus 1000 then |
|
|
13:05 | would be a flat line, you ? But anyways enough. But this |
|
|
13:12 | the way you see here is they've that. They've just they've taken the |
|
|
13:17 | and then they just put in a of vertical, almost vertical prisons. |
|
|
13:21 | is what I was talking about with modeling. You know, this they |
|
|
13:27 | what these champions are. I they model these challenges so they can't |
|
|
13:32 | . But even these geometries, the changed from block to block. That's |
|
|
13:36 | 28 50 2700. You know, don't know. This is really disappointing |
|
|
13:42 | me. You know, they're just just using this is not a way |
|
|
13:46 | model. I mean if all you're is just changing layer geometries and susceptibilities |
|
|
13:53 | hoc. You know, I mean decided they liked the shape of this |
|
|
13:59 | and they're just gonna make everything There's nothing learned here, right? |
|
|
14:03 | I do see in the in the , I do see in the |
|
|
14:06 | you see this big low, that is because of this thing is reverse |
|
|
14:12 | . So in fact, down here are very low. So something in |
|
|
14:16 | all these organizations are very, very . They're all very, very |
|
|
14:20 | Um Yeah. And in here they've this little area here that there's a |
|
|
14:27 | rift. They might know that maybe interpreted this on the reflection data. |
|
|
14:31 | there's a fall and that's that's That's fine. But in general, |
|
|
14:35 | really would, I would grade this badly because I think just the display |
|
|
14:42 | wrong. And then this approach to . I don't think that's uh I |
|
|
14:47 | know, I don't like it. . Okay, I gave you a |
|
|
14:52 | of this. This is um the is how the caribbean plate evolved. |
|
|
14:59 | is how it happened. North Mhm. You might remember from |
|
|
15:05 | from our discussion of super kind of , North America broke apart from south |
|
|
15:11 | about 1 80 so this is 1 . So it's been growing. Ocean |
|
|
15:15 | has been opening. Nobody knows what looks like down here. They just |
|
|
15:19 | just schematic. But this proto caribbean way, there's an oceanic crust that |
|
|
15:25 | between north and south America. This about 60 million years. Whoops. |
|
|
15:31 | then there's um of course, it's beneath both of these and then complete |
|
|
15:39 | sub ducting beneath, you know, an arc out here. This is |
|
|
15:44 | ocean ocean ocean island arc, you , much like along the west pacific |
|
|
15:51 | then by 90 million years there's, this thing out there called the Galapagos |
|
|
15:57 | track, right? I mean, Galapagos hotspot, it is a small |
|
|
16:02 | . The caribbean plate, they say that this is a little, this |
|
|
16:08 | a little wrong. The caribbean, igneous province. The clip they call |
|
|
16:15 | actually formed as this ocean floor passed the hot spot. Okay, it |
|
|
16:22 | a plate out there floating around. just a silly idea. It was |
|
|
16:29 | the pacific or the fair line was abducting beneath this, you know, |
|
|
16:37 | north and south America before they broke , right? Because this was it |
|
|
16:45 | the the the ocean out here was Panther Lhasa. And this was gun |
|
|
16:52 | in subduction. Beneath this all of area, north and south America. |
|
|
17:01 | as the pacific plate was subduction beneath proto caribbean ocean, it was producing |
|
|
17:08 | island arc which is very, you , typical. But but but when |
|
|
17:14 | passed over as it passed over the hotspot, the crust was under plated |
|
|
17:21 | you know, there was probably volcanism stuff. And so the crust was |
|
|
17:26 | . And when the caribbean and when pacific plate, this thick part of |
|
|
17:32 | pacific plate that was thickened by, know, passing over the Galapagos hotspot |
|
|
17:38 | it crashed between north and south the subduction right? In this case |
|
|
17:48 | abducting to the east. Beneath the seduction zone flipped because this thickened |
|
|
17:58 | could not be subduction is too thick sub duct right? The same thing |
|
|
18:01 | going down. That's why we see overflights that created, you know in |
|
|
18:06 | . And up up here because this would not sub ducting, it's too |
|
|
18:11 | . So that the subduction polarity actually from sub ducting to the east to |
|
|
18:19 | to the west and the T. ridge, which which is right here |
|
|
18:27 | still preserved. It is, and the island of Tobago, which you've |
|
|
18:33 | heard of, The island. Tobago 100 and 200 million year old arc |
|
|
18:41 | right between here and here. It arc rocks that are this old. |
|
|
18:45 | we know this ark existed and and the, in the, in the |
|
|
18:51 | atlantic now is subjecting to the west this proto caribbean most certainly was |
|
|
18:57 | Okay, so then as the, the, you know, this, |
|
|
19:02 | the pacific plate moved in here, switch, it was just basically torn |
|
|
19:08 | parts of its abducted beneath south Parts of it just ended up, |
|
|
19:13 | know, being lifted away. This the Cayman trough. There's to transform |
|
|
19:19 | to the north and south. So so this was actually feral on plate |
|
|
19:24 | was ripped off the pacific because it not subject and then the subduction zone |
|
|
19:31 | . It. Does that make sense you? Everything I said yes. |
|
|
19:39 | , so there's a lot of people have ideas about the caribbean plate. |
|
|
19:42 | just telling you my, the way look at it. Um Some people |
|
|
19:46 | that there was like the caribbean plate here floating around. That's just that's |
|
|
19:51 | a silly idea um when you think it, but that's but serious people |
|
|
19:55 | that in any case. Yeah. the pacific plate, it was subduction |
|
|
20:01 | these two continents when they broke apart it continued to subject until the thickened |
|
|
20:07 | province of the caribbean encountered it. would not subject to the polarity |
|
|
20:12 | And as the plates specific and fair abducted beneath these two continents um it |
|
|
20:22 | part of it was just torn off the caribbean plate was as it was |
|
|
20:28 | between north and south America and the the Tobago trough. I mean |
|
|
20:35 | I'm sorry that she's called Tobago I think this is Chanel go |
|
|
20:40 | she is a student of mine in case, but the ridge still exists |
|
|
20:44 | here because the island of Tobago which right right down here on Tobago has |
|
|
20:52 | million year old art rocks. So we are again, just outboard of |
|
|
20:57 | Grenada basin where I did my she worked on the Tobago trough which |
|
|
21:01 | a fore arc basin. See its of the ark and the slab is |
|
|
21:06 | ducting to the east to the west . And here's a nice beautiful three |
|
|
21:14 | rendering of it. It's showing so the island arc here, there's the |
|
|
21:19 | of ancient this fossil arc that barb Tobago sits on top of and probably |
|
|
21:26 | as well. This whole there's a a basement ridge right through here. |
|
|
21:32 | , so this is not the same of ridge that was shown in the |
|
|
21:37 | with the outer archive that that where's at? It's not this outer |
|
|
21:46 | It's not the same in this case was it's capped, it's a captured |
|
|
21:51 | arc. Um Right so here's free gravity again, I'm not going to |
|
|
21:58 | you anymore asking if it's free air . Um but this island arc, |
|
|
22:03 | is the remnant island. Remember we at this with the with japan. |
|
|
22:08 | looked at when we talked about ocean and back arc basins. So this |
|
|
22:12 | the this is the the island arc arc, the remnant arc and this |
|
|
22:19 | is a four RQ. And the Barbados is actually you know there are |
|
|
22:27 | secretion there. I mean the christian prison because the Orinoco down here in |
|
|
22:34 | America Venezuela just pours out so much . This is all filled and the |
|
|
22:41 | field is enormous and it's actually you push it up so we can look |
|
|
22:46 | right there is a weird look at models A. Two A. |
|
|
22:51 | They're both east west. This one here. You can see it down |
|
|
22:55 | as well which goes from the hinge the trace of the subduction zone all |
|
|
23:00 | way up to the arc and then . Two B. Prime which is |
|
|
23:02 | little bit shorter. Right? And what those look like. So here's |
|
|
23:08 | a. two. This one Yeah this is the long one |
|
|
23:12 | 2 a. And here's the bit arc that was captured when the when |
|
|
23:18 | so you can see the other subduction was dipping this way and that and |
|
|
23:24 | when that flipped the slab fell away this slab developed after that, that's |
|
|
23:29 | that worked. So you know subduction because this thing would not sub |
|
|
23:35 | I mean this part here wasn't But the old arc would not sub |
|
|
23:39 | the largest province. And then the subduction zone developed going this way and |
|
|
23:48 | B. Two, B. Which just to the north. I'm |
|
|
23:51 | one and two. This is this the old arc right here. So |
|
|
23:57 | is very nice data, very nice . And she did some pretty good |
|
|
24:03 | here. This is all these you know, she had densities for |
|
|
24:06 | these layers and lot of well And there's some refraction data in and |
|
|
24:12 | there. I don't know if it's on these. No there's a bunch |
|
|
24:16 | refraction stations. Okay. And then four arc which is really kind of |
|
|
24:25 | , it almost qualifies as a complex because the sub This uh the the |
|
|
24:36 | basin which is a four art. and the uh cook inlet basin here |
|
|
24:44 | is also part of the forearm. ? So what's going on here is |
|
|
24:48 | have the subduction zone where the you know, plunging to the |
|
|
24:53 | it connects with the transform boundary over . And the slab is dipping |
|
|
24:58 | In fact these are the depths of slab 50,050 km and in Alaska there's |
|
|
25:10 | big fall system called the Denali fault . Now, I don't know if |
|
|
25:14 | if it is um little sphere or . I don't know if it's a |
|
|
25:20 | or if it's just penetrating through the . My sense is that it's not |
|
|
25:26 | hysteric and you have all these other which are sort of you know, |
|
|
25:33 | you know, sort of sub parallel the whole trench system. Um This |
|
|
25:40 | formed in the middle I see middle into early Miocene. Um They're saying |
|
|
25:46 | north striking false. So there's north faults in here. In fact, |
|
|
25:52 | look at the data, the leftist data and the right is um magnetic |
|
|
26:00 | . And right away you can see can see a basis in these |
|
|
26:05 | I think this is a residual, is residual reduced the polling numbers I |
|
|
26:11 | . But right away you can see inside these folks are very um you |
|
|
26:19 | long wavelength and so the gravity didn't estimates of the shape and depth of |
|
|
26:27 | basin and see they what do they ? They did a residual separating observe |
|
|
26:36 | 92 components, one representing low density fill and right and then the the |
|
|
26:43 | basement. They say that that together magnetic and gravity and seismic reflection analyses |
|
|
26:53 | an asymmetric basin comprised surprising sedimentary rocks four km thick. So the |
|
|
27:02 | Alright, so there are some models here. Okay, there's models right |
|
|
27:09 | . And you can see that the is deepening to the northwest. |
|
|
27:15 | Which is very interesting. Okay, these months there's a B and |
|
|
27:20 | A B and C. And I the there were, you know, |
|
|
27:26 | wavelength differences in this zone are just . I mean it's very easy to |
|
|
27:30 | this, but the asymmetry, they're deeper this way, not this |
|
|
27:37 | Right. So asymmetry always makes me of four land bases. Right? |
|
|
27:46 | if this is a subduction zone then four land, the asymmetry should be |
|
|
27:52 | other way around with getting deeper to southeast. But they're actually getting |
|
|
27:57 | Right? They're getting I'm sorry, getting deeper to the northwest. So |
|
|
28:06 | what in the world's going on? is this asymmetry in the I mean |
|
|
28:10 | model looks pretty good. Um you , anomalies. Uh yeah, but |
|
|
28:19 | in the world do you think um fact these are magnetic anomalies. |
|
|
28:25 | Right. Uh What in the Tell me why you think it's asymmetric |
|
|
28:33 | the northwest? Tell me what you about that. I'm gonna go to |
|
|
28:37 | this this map gives you a hint saying it's it's getting asymmetric to the |
|
|
28:47 | towards the Alaska range. Any mm I mean why would it be |
|
|
29:04 | sin not a fault. I'm not . Okay, I think that this |
|
|
29:13 | not a for our basin, I , I think it's a four land |
|
|
29:20 | to the Alaska range. And it's this way because it's because because relative |
|
|
29:29 | this, the fleischer that produced it the Alaska rate. And I think |
|
|
29:34 | existence of the canine mountains is also the fore arc basin should be out |
|
|
29:42 | here, should be out here Um I think this is actually an |
|
|
29:46 | arc basin. It's between this I don't know what the age of |
|
|
29:51 | ranges are, but if I were guess, I would say that, |
|
|
29:57 | , this is this is this is They're saying that the base informed in |
|
|
30:04 | to Miocene. So that's like whatever , 50 million years on that |
|
|
30:09 | So they're pretty, pretty darn I think that yeah, I think |
|
|
30:16 | an inter arc or for land which sort of suggests for land and |
|
|
30:24 | it was there before before this stuff had much of an effect. That's |
|
|
30:30 | I think without knowing anything more. mean, I'm not an expert in |
|
|
30:33 | part of the world, but just at these crustal geometries and these basic |
|
|
30:37 | and their relationship to the surrounding mountain . That's what I think. |
|
|
30:44 | I'm not gonna test you on But I think that's I think that's |
|
|
30:48 | going on. Another thing that's going here is, look at this here's |
|
|
30:53 | here's the question, you have areas this magnetic anomaly map. This is |
|
|
30:58 | pass filtered. But it's still high well. Never mind. Never mind |
|
|
31:02 | that. I won't tell you Uh I'm not sure if that means |
|
|
31:05 | . Alright, so let's let's move . Another example. This is actually |
|
|
31:12 | inter art. Right? So this that the island arc and this is |
|
|
31:18 | so now we're in, here's our of the Andes. And before Ecuador |
|
|
31:21 | were looking right up here. But now we're looking down here in |
|
|
31:26 | Andes, chile Bolivia Argentina. And the Andes, usually the bolivian Andes |
|
|
31:36 | call there's this region called the The high plain. And I guess |
|
|
31:42 | know that, sorry. Um but , yeah, atop the Andes on |
|
|
31:46 | of them is just this basin. can see it in the topography |
|
|
31:49 | This kind of smooth area. Um an intra arc, it's the second |
|
|
31:58 | uh what do they call it? do I have? The second highest |
|
|
32:02 | genic plateau on earth. Any guesses the highest one is. Would it |
|
|
32:09 | a rest ever since the mountain. you're close, you're really close talking |
|
|
32:19 | Lap tow would be the highest, , is that the tibetan plateau, |
|
|
32:26 | ? Very well. So, Tibet the highest plateau on earth. The |
|
|
32:32 | highest plateau is the bolivian altiplano. yeah, does it say? How |
|
|
32:41 | do I have a height here? don't, I'm sure it's in the |
|
|
32:44 | . I don't have it here. um it's in this paper by |
|
|
32:48 | Another. But okay, so here's is what is this amplitude of? |
|
|
32:53 | don't know what this amplitude is Oh, I see. They're |
|
|
33:05 | this must be the base of the . I think this is, this |
|
|
33:09 | be the base of the crust. models should tell me. Yeah. |
|
|
33:12 | , that's the base of the crust think. Is that right? I |
|
|
33:18 | know. No, I don't know that is. I don't know what |
|
|
33:22 | is. G oil or something. should know what that is. In |
|
|
33:31 | case, they're claiming that there's a body that's beneath the altiplano. |
|
|
33:40 | Um our analysis reviews that magmatic that means magmatic under planing may provide |
|
|
33:49 | contribution to surplus uplift on par with spirit removal that's called drips. And |
|
|
33:59 | they also say area is a static in islands are roughly zero. And |
|
|
34:06 | they're saying that it's in static That that idea. I mean, |
|
|
34:13 | having a baby, it can't be ice, a static equal living. |
|
|
34:17 | sitting over a subduction zone. I , I don't care if the static |
|
|
34:22 | is zero. It just means you know, it just, I |
|
|
34:26 | know what that means. It means their calculations are, you know, |
|
|
34:30 | just fortuitous. It's serendipity. It's really, I mean this is, |
|
|
34:36 | is a sub ducting slab, it's day, there's seismicity. I |
|
|
34:41 | you know, this area is not , it's not a stable, you |
|
|
34:47 | region. But let's just look at , just look at their analysis |
|
|
34:51 | So here's the elevation and and I this is meters what it is. |
|
|
35:02 | I don't have this pastry. They a couple of things, so it's |
|
|
35:10 | 550 500. So this is the , I guess this is some best |
|
|
35:15 | through that. Maybe this is there maybe this is a geode anomaly. |
|
|
35:22 | not sure. I'll make a I'll need to look this stuff up |
|
|
35:27 | I'll figure it out. I look this this morning. I thought I |
|
|
35:33 | . Alright anyways here's their model, their bouquet, here's their free |
|
|
35:38 | this is nice. So the comparison free air anomaly. Again it's really |
|
|
35:45 | should really expand this but I mean say it's essentially zero. I don't |
|
|
35:52 | , it looks to me to be plus or -50 or 100 mg |
|
|
35:58 | Um But the bouquet is predictable, ? You gotta have a big low |
|
|
36:02 | beneath the mountain range. And um saying that there's this live magma saurus |
|
|
36:14 | this magma reservoir down here that's sort supporting this thing and they do have |
|
|
36:21 | surface wave anomaly. There is a wave anomaly. So um A. |
|
|
36:28 | . B. M. Stands for altiplano puna magma body. And and |
|
|
36:39 | they have this shear shear wave velocities um they say are supporting it. |
|
|
36:46 | is a there is a velocity low doubt about that. Um But |
|
|
36:55 | so it's not it's not like it's magma because That would have zero |
|
|
37:02 | Um Also the shear wave velocity of mohawk, shear wave velocity of parental |
|
|
37:11 | and is 4.5 and more. Um rose, lower crustal philosophies like like |
|
|
37:22 | rose and granule lights are less than . Typically There are 4.3 which is |
|
|
37:31 | think this check mark here. So is probably, I mean this |
|
|
37:37 | this model goes from this model. is his position? Do they show |
|
|
37:45 | model? Um Oh I think this the model here. So 68. |
|
|
37:57 | it's going roughly from here. It go offshore. Doesn't go into the |
|
|
38:02 | area, does it? Yeah, think this yellow line shows that |
|
|
38:08 | Um So I don't know. I , I think that's a little slow |
|
|
38:20 | upper mantle. Um So they're saying this is the source body. |
|
|
38:27 | so the lower cross, yeah, mantle and the mojo is here and |
|
|
38:32 | have some feeder into this feature here that's this feature here. Right, |
|
|
38:37 | . Um Yeah, I don't I mean, I guess you could |
|
|
38:43 | something in there, but I don't . I mean yeah, I don't |
|
|
38:50 | don't think I really agree with this idea, but in any case I |
|
|
38:56 | think it's any clear. Okay, that's kind of an academic study but |
|
|
39:02 | is an inter arc and they did it. I think the blue just |
|
|
39:08 | be the difference, I guess they , it's like on our modeling, |
|
|
39:12 | is GM says, by the you can probably recognize that um |
|
|
39:23 | I'll learn about these figures, slides slides 14 and 15, Alright, |
|
|
39:30 | move forward. That's like a four basis. Now, foreland basins are |
|
|
39:34 | the most kind of, you passive margin for the bases. They |
|
|
39:39 | the most, you know, those where the biggest fields are, Most |
|
|
39:44 | the most of the oil and gas produced from these kinds of basins. |
|
|
39:51 | on the right Fleming and George that shows sort of like the mechanical form |
|
|
39:58 | . You have a mountain belt, abducting in this, you know, |
|
|
40:03 | rising here is producing a mountain belt that mountain belt in turn flexes |
|
|
40:09 | you have like a bulge back here bulge. And they're typically these are |
|
|
40:16 | shape basins, right? The deepest is near the the thrust, the |
|
|
40:22 | belt and in planet would look like . So, you know, the |
|
|
40:29 | abducting to the south here and then have a foreland basin and then you |
|
|
40:34 | have some four balls through here. implant that's what would look like this |
|
|
40:38 | from peter to sell. I this is a real famous paper and |
|
|
40:42 | again, the figure I showed you which with the whole four land system |
|
|
40:47 | according to them, there's four there's the wedge top, let's |
|
|
40:53 | what do they say? They the four different zones. Um |
|
|
41:03 | wedge top zone is the mass of that accumulates on the top of the |
|
|
41:08 | part of the origin IQ wedge. it can include piggyback and thrust top |
|
|
41:14 | . So you have little mini basins here in the watch top. And |
|
|
41:18 | the four deep deep zone out here consists of sediments deposited between the structural |
|
|
41:25 | of the thrust belt and the proximal flag of the four bolts. And |
|
|
41:30 | typically thickens rapidly rapidly towards the front the thrust thrust belt. Which makes |
|
|
41:36 | . It gets its thinking, you , in this case to the |
|
|
41:40 | the four balls deep zone is the region of the potential flexible uplift. |
|
|
41:47 | the back back bulge is the mass sediment that accumulates in the shadow, |
|
|
41:52 | broad zone of the potential. So are the that's kind of like the |
|
|
41:59 | and these are like again, these also called retro art for land. |
|
|
42:07 | , I'm showing you this just because think it's just a really cool |
|
|
42:10 | Um and this is in the um in the southeast of France. This |
|
|
42:18 | where where the great coat theron theron come from down in here. Um |
|
|
42:27 | uh yeah, so you have foreign and it kind of, that can |
|
|
42:33 | you can have this is called a , right? The with with with |
|
|
42:39 | 24 so one formed and and according them. Um Let's see the structure |
|
|
42:48 | the floor thrust is Triassic gypsum and and the and the upper and the |
|
|
42:59 | upper four land throughout system is cretaceous limestone. And uh yeah and even |
|
|
43:08 | top of these little guys, just four land bases that are farming. |
|
|
43:12 | it just shows you sort of like en echelon sort of geometry that can |
|
|
43:18 | . Um I think, you there's a lot of artistic license going |
|
|
43:23 | in here, but these rocks obviously and they're just, you know, |
|
|
43:29 | know these horizons somewhere and they're just them to be here. But it |
|
|
43:36 | a very beautiful geologic cross section. , so let's look at the western |
|
|
43:44 | sedimentary basin which is really huge. can see here there's A. |
|
|
43:49 | C. And this is uh this Manitoba, this is Saskatchewan. Um |
|
|
43:57 | the basin just is just enormous uh geology on top. And you can |
|
|
44:04 | of course you get to the, know, old young younger layers to |
|
|
44:08 | center and older, you know, the outside. And of course there's |
|
|
44:13 | Canadian rockies. So here again is topography zooming in on the topography and |
|
|
44:23 | , it's very nice. This is anomalies tell me Stephanie y this is |
|
|
44:34 | big gravity low gravity loan because where am I Western Canadian can you um |
|
|
44:52 | me? Because it's there's the Mhm. Oh is that mountain |
|
|
45:07 | Canadian rockies, Bernice. Uh Most british, I mean Canadian rockies which |
|
|
45:15 | mostly in british Columbia. Right. , this is Alberta. It's probably |
|
|
45:34 | gravity. Is it? No having low, I'm sure it has something |
|
|
45:49 | do with the crust. Yeah, it's mojo it's because it's rooted in |
|
|
45:58 | mantle. Okay, here's the residual that. The 15 km upper continuation |
|
|
46:07 | . What does that mean that it 15 km? Is that where they |
|
|
46:20 | minimize the topography to the 15th? bouquet correction minimizes topography, but this |
|
|
46:30 | a residual these are residual bouquet What would be the regional, the |
|
|
46:42 | would be the upward continued map. if you upward continue the data 15 |
|
|
46:53 | and subtract that from the original you get these residual works. |
|
|
47:03 | so this is this is another just view of it and it's showing some |
|
|
47:07 | the main geologic features. Of course deepest parts are just this hatchet |
|
|
47:14 | the the so this is the deepest of the of the western Canada |
|
|
47:19 | Of course there's the Williston basin down . I guess there's another little tiny |
|
|
47:23 | up here And then just basically the of the basics, of course there's |
|
|
47:31 | big giants fall cycles in the Great Lake. This is the snowbird, |
|
|
47:38 | is the boundary called the snowbird boundary . Yeah. So and all |
|
|
47:47 | You might remember this map when we about super kind of cycles. We're |
|
|
47:51 | in this part of the world where these different trains have been created to |
|
|
47:57 | . You know, basically the core North America with these old are key |
|
|
48:03 | rocks up there. So here's that map. Not not the one just |
|
|
48:09 | the one before that superimposed onto our , onto our residual gravity. So |
|
|
48:15 | the deepest part, here's the And in which you might notice is |
|
|
48:21 | lot of these these shear zone the Great Slave. These faults line |
|
|
48:27 | with some pretty big anomalies. I mean, your first order rule |
|
|
48:32 | thumb, you know, anomalies with order of 10 Milligan's. What's the |
|
|
48:37 | here? We're going from nine plus minus nine. So this whole range |
|
|
48:41 | 10 or 20 million girls. So every anomaly, you see anything. |
|
|
48:46 | these anomalies are on the order of , 10 millions. They're not high |
|
|
48:50 | though they are low amplitude. They're big anomalies. They're actually pretty |
|
|
48:57 | So, you know, it makes sort of think that these structures are |
|
|
49:03 | these anomalies, right? And you really see the low in here in |
|
|
49:09 | gravity data. So let's move Let's go up to the northeast to |
|
|
49:15 | . We're gonna go up here to part, the uh there's a fossil |
|
|
49:21 | that turned into a race that's now low again called the Peace River |
|
|
49:27 | And uh it's in this area Um Peace River Arch and the southernmost |
|
|
49:36 | of the Great Slave fault. This Hay River fault. Right? So |
|
|
49:40 | the dash line, right? This british Columbia here. This is |
|
|
49:44 | So we're at the northern part of two states right here. We're looking |
|
|
49:49 | this part right in here. And if you look at that on |
|
|
49:54 | of the gravity, you can see there's definitely another. Again, these |
|
|
49:59 | anomalies that are, you know, well, but there's also some other |
|
|
50:04 | . But again, remember these are big anomalies. In fact from here |
|
|
50:08 | here, that's probably only 20 mg probably the highest range. So they're |
|
|
50:13 | subtle. Well, let's just look there's there's a there's about a bazillion |
|
|
50:22 | wells in this basin. I mean is well studied. Um This is |
|
|
50:29 | this is a fan of ice pack means it's paleozoic, mesozoic and cenizo |
|
|
50:36 | in that time frame. So with crustal thing, it's a sedimentary thickness |
|
|
50:43 | um of the fan or a Zoe Yeah, surface to pre Cambridge basically |
|
|
50:54 | Cambrian basement And the Contour O is . But then in the shaded area |
|
|
51:01 | 500 because you know, it gets thick is the asymmetry of the |
|
|
51:07 | We can lay down on top of residual anomalies. And all of a |
|
|
51:12 | it's a little more confusing, isn't ? I mean these gravity anomalies aren't |
|
|
51:20 | . I mean there's some curtains some know there's some pull around these anomalies |
|
|
51:25 | so these anomalies looked to be structural um Yeah maybe here. So |
|
|
51:37 | Yeah so this is basically the the shape of the basin and it's not |
|
|
51:44 | reflected in this graph. You But remember like I said, these |
|
|
51:48 | not really big knowledge, these are showing something else. And we're going |
|
|
51:53 | get to that here. Here's just map pre Cambrian structure. So instead |
|
|
51:58 | the fan rizzo thickness this is preconstruction . They are of course quite |
|
|
52:06 | And we can look at the residual anomalies on top of that and you |
|
|
52:11 | . Okay this is not showing any now. Um So that means there |
|
|
52:17 | be this must be um Maybe there's topographic topography. Let's look just like |
|
|
52:23 | topography real quick. Yeah there are highs in here. Okay. That's |
|
|
52:31 | . Alright. That makes sense to . Okay. Alright so now let's |
|
|
52:38 | at the magnetic so here's total magnetic anomalies. This is just just |
|
|
52:45 | And by the way there's two cross . I'm gonna show you the end |
|
|
52:49 | correlate I mean that that that coincide these this line here and this one |
|
|
52:55 | , that's what those represent. But magnetic anomaly dated. I mean just |
|
|
52:59 | mean the Canadian, the three countries collect the best mag data are Canada |
|
|
53:06 | and Finland. Can you guess Because of how close they are to |
|
|
53:14 | polls. No because of mining. there are those countries don't have |
|
|
53:23 | I mean they have wide areas where where there's outcropping basement rocks basically |
|
|
53:29 | Okay. That's why. That's Okay so the but these these anomalies |
|
|
53:36 | just beautiful and you can really see shape of this just basin in |
|
|
53:41 | Right? I mean you have this wavelength stuff. You know basically the |
|
|
53:45 | is outcropping over all these areas. then as you get close to the |
|
|
53:51 | know the Canadian rockies are over here you get close to them. The |
|
|
53:55 | starts you know plunging to the southwest it's getting you know these phenomena wavelengths |
|
|
54:02 | a little bit longer. Then these here and then in the deepest part |
|
|
54:08 | long smooth magnetic grab magnetic anomalies. is telling you that the base is |
|
|
54:14 | really deep. And then they're even beneath. All of a sudden you |
|
|
54:17 | to pick up this chatter. The wavelength stuff so you can really see |
|
|
54:22 | shape of this basin. You know probably getting deep. Looks like to |
|
|
54:27 | like there's a there's a it gets little shallow and then deep bronze and |
|
|
54:32 | you get and then down here into Williston remember is down here. So |
|
|
54:38 | can really see the shape of the . Canadian basin in this magnetic and |
|
|
54:42 | only data, It's really stunning. you ask me um here's the |
|
|
54:48 | T. P. What does our do remember? We're Northern hemisphere. |
|
|
54:52 | gonna shift everything to the north. where is the north pole at its |
|
|
54:57 | over here? It's over here So it's going to shift things kind |
|
|
55:01 | northeast. And if you look, I go back and forth, you |
|
|
55:06 | see that it's doing that. In . Look at the tsunami right |
|
|
55:12 | Right when I go to total field TPc it moves everything to the north |
|
|
55:19 | little bit. All right, we display the uh pre Cambrian, right |
|
|
55:28 | basement contours on top of that. can definitely see that you know they're |
|
|
55:33 | deeper deeper, deeper down into this here. And remember these contours are |
|
|
55:39 | from wells. So it's it's no what's causing those big anomalies? We'll |
|
|
55:46 | the terrain boundaries. And here's a of the basement terrain. Remember this |
|
|
55:50 | and crust? Where's the trans I think the trans Hudson is is |
|
|
55:56 | a bit going through here and you the Wyoming terrain that are down |
|
|
56:01 | Wyoming creighton. I think this is slave up here. Um And superior |
|
|
56:08 | over here. This is the Where's the trans Hudson? Okay so |
|
|
56:26 | . Internal trans hood. Yeah that's these are. This is an old |
|
|
56:31 | genic event and our key and provinces these reds and pinks. And you |
|
|
56:35 | some protozoa like up here. These . These are also protozoa. Okay |
|
|
56:43 | that's the geology map of this. this is this is not well I'll |
|
|
56:48 | I'll get to that. But here are looking at that on top of |
|
|
56:50 | magnetic data in color trans here. if we if we make the magnolias |
|
|
56:59 | , this is really very nice. it shows you some of these boundaries |
|
|
57:04 | to be sure they had to have this magnetic data to help them do |
|
|
57:09 | right? It's just not not a but still there's a lot of wild |
|
|
57:17 | to remember. Okay, here's our anomalies. This is our teepee |
|
|
57:23 | And now we're gonna overlay it on same sort of map but separated by |
|
|
57:29 | which are solid colors to sub cropping is you know, just hatched |
|
|
57:36 | So it's it's nearly the same map you can see. So so you |
|
|
57:42 | an outcropping here and then it's you , remember we had all those wells |
|
|
57:45 | here. So that's how this thing defined and there's enough penetrations here and |
|
|
57:50 | combine that with the magnetic day. can make a really nice basement train |
|
|
57:54 | . So I think there's a pretty degree of confidence that these these are |
|
|
58:00 | trains and yeah, here it is the color film. I mean what |
|
|
58:08 | what the color is gone. So a really interesting, really important um |
|
|
58:14 | of study of basement and foreland basis there's just so much data and |
|
|
58:22 | Okay and then here's and then here's cross section through this. So you |
|
|
58:26 | see it's it's I can't read. is that's only four km I |
|
|
58:34 | But we're not at the deepest We're gonna look at another foreland basin |
|
|
58:41 | in in europe. Uh here's some alps, there's France um uh |
|
|
58:52 | I mean that's that's german Switzerland Germany italy Austria and Czech Czech |
|
|
58:59 | And we have a four land base this is the elevation. So you |
|
|
59:02 | the alps right here. But as up to, yeah, it's called |
|
|
59:14 | molasses for invasion. The molasses Now they're saying measured gravity. That's |
|
|
59:21 | not right. It's bouquet and that and you know, I can tell |
|
|
59:24 | bouquet because there's a big load when took the alps rooted into the |
|
|
59:29 | here's their basement death. And they contours that goes down to just, |
|
|
59:35 | is just not at all correct. no basin on this planet. The |
|
|
59:41 | basin in the world is probably Bay Bengal and that's about 18 km. |
|
|
59:47 | this is just, this is just wrong um Alright, the mojo depth |
|
|
59:55 | down from 24 to 55 kilometers. buy that. Um And then the |
|
|
60:00 | . A. B. Goes from kilometers down 245 I guess. I |
|
|
60:06 | that. And then they actually have cross section here. So from north |
|
|
60:10 | uh going north to south. And is a really good example of what |
|
|
60:17 | talking about. When I say this this is not observed gravity. This |
|
|
60:22 | boo gay gravity. And it shows it's going down and it's basically following |
|
|
60:28 | base of the crust. Right? have all these short wavelengths superimposed on |
|
|
60:34 | , but it's basically following the bases now, if we and then they |
|
|
60:41 | the L. A. B. I guess I guess that's about I |
|
|
60:46 | , I don't think they modeled the A. B at all. I |
|
|
60:50 | , I think this model is too to do that. But any |
|
|
60:55 | yeah, you can see the asymmetric of the basin right here in |
|
|
61:04 | What about do we have another Yeah, the Himalayas, the |
|
|
61:09 | Tibetan Plateau. So here's the, highest continental plateau and here's a geologic |
|
|
61:20 | of sorts to have all the basins blue, I think. And um |
|
|
61:26 | study that they're working on is this right here. It is called the |
|
|
61:31 | right here. And this is right the northern sort of flank of the |
|
|
61:37 | Andes and zooming into that area. is their geologic map. And it's |
|
|
61:46 | interesting because it doesn't give the impression this is like asymmetric in anyway, |
|
|
61:51 | this is, I guess they're calling a four land. But it seems |
|
|
61:55 | me it's more like an like an arc I think. Um Yeah yeah |
|
|
62:03 | they made a cross section uh through cross section C. And they have |
|
|
62:11 | an empty data. So many caloric and they're showing um hi res |
|
|
62:19 | This is receptivity. Um Yeah so recent of course in the base then |
|
|
62:26 | have a cross section here so that have buddha and alleys in red and |
|
|
62:32 | anomalies in this blue. So there's much really going on. They have |
|
|
62:37 | residual gravity in black bhaskar. Yeah don't know. That's weird to |
|
|
62:56 | This is very weird. Um Let's there's G. 1234. Do those |
|
|
63:05 | up? They're not identified here. well okay so they see they have |
|
|
63:13 | this would be the this is the part. Yeah the southwestern part. |
|
|
63:18 | here you have the thrust but then have back thrust on a normal |
|
|
63:22 | So this this is sort of I to me I don't see any asymmetry |
|
|
63:28 | typical of four land. So I know I would call this an intra |
|
|
63:31 | just because you have things going on here and the range here. So |
|
|
63:39 | the total range Is about 80 So these guys are on the order |
|
|
63:46 | 20. So these c I would I would agree with this. These |
|
|
63:51 | being um I'm not sure what they for a residual but I like the |
|
|
63:56 | profile better than their and this residual you can really see the structures these |
|
|
64:04 | . These are acceptable I think I never remember, you should never model |
|
|
64:12 | data. I don't understand anyways. , so that's the last example of |
|
|
64:20 | four land and of those where we We're at 247 jeez I went through |
|
|
64:26 | too fast. Any questions on that on that material? Um No I |
|
|
64:37 | to go through it again but not . Alright well let's just see, |
|
|
64:50 | me just breeze through it so you catch that part because this is um |
|
|
65:01 | right so last stage conversion margins for you know at the last the final |
|
|
65:08 | , the second phase of the Wilson , the conversion phase and then a |
|
|
65:14 | zone with four arc inter art possibly land basins of course for our christian |
|
|
65:21 | . And then the four land fore basin and the four land has Wedge |
|
|
65:29 | Deep 4 Bulge back bullets components to . We looked at a couple of |
|
|
65:35 | examples Ecuador which you have the impression a few lights there. And that |
|
|
65:46 | a little study the open lights The low was reversed polarity probably. |
|
|
65:51 | you can see the basin getting deeper with these longer wavelengths on the magnetic |
|
|
65:57 | and of course this is booth because has a high out here. The |
|
|
66:03 | section through it which is as I would be quite similar to Oregon, |
|
|
66:09 | California Washington kind of the coastal range . Um I did I did argue |
|
|
66:16 | their ad hoc rock properties here. decided what they decided the general trees |
|
|
66:22 | they just put in place rock properties they made these curves fit. And |
|
|
66:27 | think that's just a flawed way to things. I don't think you can |
|
|
66:31 | anything from that. I think if want to make models you want modeling |
|
|
66:35 | be useful you want to challenge the people. And they would what they |
|
|
66:40 | claim with this, what this seismic would say well this supports our, |
|
|
66:46 | supports our interpretation and a lot of are happy to do stuff because you |
|
|
66:52 | they're supporting their interpretation and you know just repeating what the other people are |
|
|
66:58 | . But I think it's a disservice want the models if they're not going |
|
|
67:03 | challenge any aspect of it. If you're doing is making your models fit |
|
|
67:07 | other people think then you're not really anything. I mean just just doing |
|
|
67:13 | . So yeah, that's horrible. we looked at the Tobago trough and |
|
|
67:19 | went through this long explanation of how formed and how you know, Tobago |
|
|
67:25 | is bounded by an active bridge. art and a fossil island art which |
|
|
67:34 | formed out here during the you know the when the pacific plate or fair |
|
|
67:40 | plate was abducting beneath this great art central America, as some people call |
|
|
67:47 | . And then we looked at my friend here, the Canada basin which |
|
|
67:51 | a back arc and obvious ridge roman . But then the Tobago trough which |
|
|
67:57 | students Chanel worked on and which is between this fossil art that extends north |
|
|
68:06 | Tobago trough is concentric with the lesser active island art. The Tobago trough |
|
|
68:13 | in here. And then it's the is that it's this bit of um |
|
|
68:19 | our current million year old art She made a couple of gravity models |
|
|
68:27 | that. And you notice, you tell she worked with someone like me |
|
|
68:31 | it's not just a bunch of billion blocks. These are all the same |
|
|
68:35 | colors, are the same density. it's all the same density, same |
|
|
68:40 | . And you know, there's not lot of, you know, arbitrary |
|
|
68:45 | stuck in there doing this and which is something that I just I |
|
|
68:49 | don't allow. Okay. And then looked at this setting. The basin |
|
|
68:53 | is thought to be a foreland But I think I'm gonna differ from |
|
|
68:58 | basic, based on the geometry of basin. That is, it's asymmetric |
|
|
69:03 | the deepest part to the north and rather than to the south and |
|
|
69:09 | which is what a foreland basin geometry be like if it's related to the |
|
|
69:15 | slab. If it's if that remember a certain there's a certain geometry to |
|
|
69:21 | things, where is that? We'll back to our cells model right, |
|
|
69:26 | a certain geometry, if you have mountain belt here, the four land |
|
|
69:32 | be asymmetric with the deepest part going towards the mountain belt. And in |
|
|
69:39 | example it's going the opposite. So makes me scratch my head. And |
|
|
69:46 | I just look at these other I this is very complicated area anyways, |
|
|
69:54 | this is a Miocene basin, You . So maybe no older than 50 |
|
|
70:02 | . A. It may be older the key name out. So it |
|
|
70:11 | be a four land related to the range. And I'll bet if I |
|
|
70:17 | for literature, I'd find some papers say that. And we looked at |
|
|
70:24 | gravity magnetic data over this over this , you can clearly see the basin |
|
|
70:30 | deeper right here. Um Yeah. then we look at the cross |
|
|
70:35 | these are man profiles showing that asymmetry things dipping to the northeast Northwest |
|
|
70:44 | then we jump down to uh an known inter arc basin, which is |
|
|
70:51 | Andes altiplano. So you can argue there are two inter inter art |
|
|
70:57 | And I think I should probably say that way from now on. And |
|
|
71:02 | idea is that the altiplano is a aesthetic equilibrium and that um that the |
|
|
71:14 | it uh huh Beneath the altiplano is low density um is a low density |
|
|
71:25 | uh whatever magma reservoir that is, know, kind of supporting, supporting |
|
|
71:35 | the central part of the altiplano. don't know if I believe that. |
|
|
71:38 | think it's I think it's absolutely I think it's okay to publish a |
|
|
71:43 | like, don't get me wrong, not saying this is worthless, I'm |
|
|
71:47 | saying that, I don't agree with conclusion. You know, this is |
|
|
71:50 | course is a nice way to compare air to bouquet, even though this |
|
|
71:55 | air does not really follow the Um Yeah, then we looked into |
|
|
72:02 | of the normal nature of the components four of four lands and sort of |
|
|
72:08 | mechanics of how they form and um those elements I look at this fun |
|
|
72:15 | example of of a foreland duplex in court theron area in the southeast of |
|
|
72:25 | , which is, you know, is just north of, what's that |
|
|
72:30 | spanish topping Catalan uh what's the city Spain? It's up here in the |
|
|
72:39 | northeastern coast it's called anyways. I it, I hate losing my |
|
|
72:48 | Okay, so um and then the of the western Canada basin, which |
|
|
72:54 | look at a bit of a lots of maps and the surface |
|
|
72:59 | which is sort of, you very predictable, you know, getting |
|
|
73:05 | um younger to the center to you know, as you go towards |
|
|
73:11 | mountain range. Um Here's the Again, we did look at a |
|
|
73:20 | of the things we looked at the of the arch area closely. And |
|
|
73:26 | we looked at the other areas as . These cross sections of course are |
|
|
73:32 | lines to cross sections. Actually at very end I gave you a hard |
|
|
73:36 | but this bouquet anomaly the low is by the by the crust. Remember |
|
|
73:42 | is these are anomalies. These wavelengths you know, hundreds of kilometers |
|
|
73:48 | There's there's no way something in the could support the anomaly. It has |
|
|
73:53 | be produced by the contrast at the of the cross. Alright. And |
|
|
73:59 | we residual. Is that with a km continuation. Right. Regionals made |
|
|
74:05 | up to 15 km. subtract that the observed and that gives you a |
|
|
74:11 | . And then we sort of looked that against some surface features that are |
|
|
74:16 | well well known and well understood. just the basic thickness here but also |
|
|
74:22 | these regional false um made a point they correlated with this map from |
|
|
74:28 | Hoffman, famous Canadian geologist. I a question. Can you explain back |
|
|
74:36 | back to the residual gravity anomaly. you explain what you're saying earlier? |
|
|
74:40 | know you probably explained it before but the difference between the regional you |
|
|
74:47 | So you make a regional, you make a regional first and you subtract |
|
|
74:52 | the original data. Right. You make a reason when you, I |
|
|
74:59 | you could do a high pass filter data but I think those are really |
|
|
75:07 | maps because they just they have so artifacts from that short wavelength you know |
|
|
75:12 | filter matching thing that goes on. not necessarily wiener matching but but but |
|
|
75:18 | that in the frequency domain high pass past noise. Right? So I |
|
|
75:26 | know I mean I I think it's to make a low pass filter first |
|
|
75:30 | make a upward continue the data first makes a regional those make smooth regional |
|
|
75:38 | . And then you remember from the that we went through right we showed |
|
|
75:42 | the regional which was a very smooth field. Then we subtract that from |
|
|
75:47 | from the original data and that will leave you with a residual. Right |
|
|
75:53 | the regional field of this is gonna a big broad high high up |
|
|
75:58 | This big broad low you know it's of it's going to be some kind |
|
|
76:02 | saddle shape if you can visualize Just thinking of the longer, if |
|
|
76:07 | can just smooth out all this short in your mind in your eye you |
|
|
76:11 | see that the region would just be smooth. Right? It would be |
|
|
76:17 | high and broadly low. Then when subtract that from the original data you |
|
|
76:23 | up with a residual. Okay and what this is. Okay and were |
|
|
76:35 | thinking of Barcelona spain earlier? Yeah I've been there. I gave |
|
|
76:43 | talk? There was. Um where are we at here? |
|
|
76:48 | Um, why was I think in , where was I thinking of? |
|
|
76:53 | slide was that? Oh, was year? There was this one |
|
|
76:58 | Yeah. Barcelona is just down Yeah, I don't know why I |
|
|
77:06 | . Anyways. Um Okay. So then we were laying on, |
|
|
77:11 | were laying these um, different maps top of the data, which is |
|
|
77:18 | nice thing to do. And showing that there are anomalies that correlate with |
|
|
77:23 | things. So, these are low anomalies. So, they're, you |
|
|
77:31 | , they you would, using rules thumb, you would say these are |
|
|
77:35 | , but we know they're not because a bunch of wells, right? |
|
|
77:40 | a bunch of well control on these . So they're not structural. I |
|
|
77:44 | , there may be a little bit structure in them, you see, |
|
|
77:46 | some pull of these contours, but not structural. So they're not |
|
|
77:53 | And they line up with these big margins. What do you think's going |
|
|
78:01 | ? This is not an obvious Do you want to take a shot |
|
|
78:04 | it? Hmm. It's not It's not present day structure. Could |
|
|
78:20 | be drifting or something? I don't . It's no, this is, |
|
|
78:27 | whole area is under convergent, convergent . There's no there's no extension? |
|
|
78:33 | no diversion is going on here. . But I don't know. |
|
|
78:39 | what's going on with these? Remember showed you kind of hinted around, |
|
|
78:43 | showed you these terrain here. These are all these big these terrain |
|
|
78:49 | and and how did this, how this terrain building happen? How |
|
|
78:54 | how do all these? I mean her that's a continental fragment superiors the |
|
|
78:59 | . Right. But are separated by our key and our genic zone. |
|
|
79:03 | was kind of plain and he wrote off and later. I mean, |
|
|
79:07 | how does all this happen? Um how old is our, how old |
|
|
79:28 | our key in rocks? Those are old. It's like old old, |
|
|
79:37 | I don't know like the our key rocks are older than 2.5 billion years |
|
|
79:45 | . So there are four billion and billion years old, photos or rocks |
|
|
79:50 | 2.5 million to how old now. should know. You should know the |
|
|
79:56 | of the pre Cambrian boundary. Do you know that? I've always |
|
|
80:01 | really bad with the timescale. I do a lot of geology. You |
|
|
80:06 | you should know the major ones I is 5 30 to 5 32 |
|
|
80:12 | A. So 5 32 2, . So it's almost two billion years |
|
|
80:18 | protozoan. So what you're looking at are different terrain that docked and were |
|
|
80:27 | on to what was once Llorente, was this the superior Creighton is one |
|
|
80:35 | the oldest on the planet. I it goes back to, you |
|
|
80:40 | three billion years. I mean it's , really, really old and you're |
|
|
80:46 | at hundreds of millions of years, ? Like five times the federal eon |
|
|
80:55 | terrain that just kept creating over different and being sutured onto this crate on |
|
|
81:01 | then eroded away and made smooth. what's happening here. This has all |
|
|
81:07 | eroded away. But you have this . These are these over here are |
|
|
81:11 | terrain and they were, you created, you know, sutured onto |
|
|
81:19 | continent. And then he wrote it and suturing of it when it was |
|
|
81:26 | , it produced this strike slip fault . These big strike slip fall zones |
|
|
81:33 | once sutures were once plate boundaries. know, play their their fossil plate |
|
|
81:41 | geologically when when someone says they mean fossil plate boundary where one plate was |
|
|
81:49 | onto another. It's a plate tectonic , it means a plate has been |
|
|
81:55 | onto another plate. That's what we when we say suture in plate |
|
|
82:02 | it means there were once two different . So these big train boundaries, |
|
|
82:07 | actually sutures. This origin. Trans origin was a mountain range. It |
|
|
82:13 | as big and broad as Grenville. range. And it was sutured onto |
|
|
82:19 | Creighton and then later the Wyoming time onto that. It was structured onto |
|
|
82:26 | . So when we look at something this, let me go back to |
|
|
82:33 | other one gravity. Because we're talking gravity. So we look at something |
|
|
82:39 | this. Yes, this this the the western Canada basin. It's |
|
|
82:50 | paleozoic basin. The sentiments in I mean they're pretty old. They |
|
|
82:56 | they go back to the sloth Have you learned about the sloth? |
|
|
83:01 | . L. O. S. . That doesn't sound familiar. |
|
|
83:06 | never heard of. So that's Don't worry about me. I'm not |
|
|
83:13 | take my comments wrong. I don't that way. It sounds kind of |
|
|
83:17 | a real jerk. I'm not trying be a jerk, but um I |
|
|
83:22 | help myself sometimes, but but the was sloth was a man, a |
|
|
83:27 | who famous geologist that in the city he met um empirical, you know |
|
|
83:35 | empirical means? He met the appearing that cross most of uh it's A |
|
|
83:45 | . S. A. 1960. bringing up right now. That's why |
|
|
83:48 | kind of stalling. He wrote a paper In 1963 entitled sequences of the |
|
|
84:01 | interior of north America. And there's very famous uh sequences that he |
|
|
84:08 | Let me go here. Um let's see, he mapped their maps |
|
|
84:18 | here, The sock, the tip canoe and the cask Askia. Those |
|
|
84:24 | the three big sock s au que canoe and cast Cascais sequences. And |
|
|
84:31 | crossed look at texas, Oklahoma Missouri Illinois Montana and into Canada uh |
|
|
84:42 | these are these were deposited during periods uh what they call empirical sees, |
|
|
84:50 | shallow seas that crop that extended over almost all of north America in the |
|
|
84:57 | , in the sort of the bony into I think our division to um |
|
|
85:03 | , our division devonian salary in up the yeah wow into the Jurassic and |
|
|
85:10 | so at the bottom of the basil of um the basil sequence of the |
|
|
85:21 | Canada basin. I've got it here you go sock, tipo, |
|
|
85:32 | , CASS, CASS Kia. And are uh you know the oldest oldest |
|
|
85:40 | says pre Cambrian but Cambrian or division in. So that's at the base |
|
|
85:46 | these. So even though the point I'm trying to make you, even |
|
|
85:52 | this basin is um even though the blocks in this basin were created over |
|
|
86:04 | of millions of years, there was time for those to be eroded |
|
|
86:09 | And then when the and then when uh you know when the antler progeny |
|
|
86:16 | then later the the rockies came they deformed that whole surface And that |
|
|
86:27 | flexed downward. And these sentiments reported top of all of that, all |
|
|
86:31 | that very old deformation and the pile sediment sits sits on top of all |
|
|
86:37 | that deformation. Does that sort of sense now? Yes, sir. |
|
|
86:45 | so continents are like that. You , you have basins that form but |
|
|
86:50 | sitting on top of just all this old deformation. You know? Um |
|
|
86:56 | and then of course you can really it in the magnetic, it's really |
|
|
86:59 | map with just you know there's all long wavelength here and yeah so I |
|
|
87:08 | I I mean yeah, I'm not you don't you don't know sloths and |
|
|
87:14 | . I mean that's kind of like geology stuff, sequence photography stuff. |
|
|
87:21 | sorry just regular rocks, photography And yeah so we went through this |
|
|
87:27 | showed all these different terrain bonding with magnetic data um sub cropping versus |
|
|
87:34 | Um And then the cross section through . Now we look at this other |
|
|
87:41 | basin, the molasses or land basin the central europe. Um They call |
|
|
87:48 | measured gravity. I don't know why do that. And then of course |
|
|
87:52 | basin depth, this is just 28 clubs. That's just ridiculous. |
|
|
87:57 | mojo death L. A. But this is really even so this |
|
|
88:01 | really a nice figure because it shows cross sectional E. I mean do |
|
|
88:06 | find that useful that it's showing this of the that regional curve? Uh |
|
|
88:12 | how it just fits the shape of cross the crustal thickness. Mhm. |
|
|
88:21 | . So it's like if you can this same curve going through the gravity |
|
|
88:27 | nominee the gravity map of the western but turned around so instead of going |
|
|
88:33 | west to east going from east to . This would be like the part |
|
|
88:36 | beneath the beneath the Canadian rockies, ? This would be the rest of |
|
|
88:41 | Western Canada basin. Look at this complicated. I think it's another intra |
|
|
88:47 | , frankly, because they're calling it four line in the paper, but |
|
|
88:51 | not a symmetric. Even this country here. No, it's not it's |
|
|
88:57 | a symmetric, it's like a high the middle of two to uh to |
|
|
89:03 | . Um although I think this this is pretty good. It's one single |
|
|
89:09 | , you know, they don't have lot of density blocks in here, |
|
|
89:12 | I love to see. And these ranges an amplitude, tens of tens |
|
|
89:18 | milligrams. Which tells you, you , rule of thumb that they are |
|
|
89:22 | and boom boom, boom boom, line up just bouquet, I don't |
|
|
89:26 | what this residual is unless they you know. Okay, so a |
|
|
89:32 | a residual is actually, you know you want, right? And sometimes |
|
|
89:37 | residual is actually the long wavelength, , what you're interested is in long |
|
|
89:43 | and not short wavelengths. And I that's what they've done here. They're |
|
|
89:46 | at, they're trying to, oh , they're trying to make estimates into |
|
|
89:51 | , deeper elements. And so they filtered out the short wavelengths and they |
|
|
89:57 | to look at the long wave. why that looks like that. |
|
|
90:00 | yeah, yeah, I get it . Yeah, they want to look |
|
|
90:02 | this stuff here. So that's Yeah. And that's it. So |
|
|
90:07 | know that man, I just feel bad. You're not asking me any |
|
|
90:12 | . So it's It's quarter after We did we managed to do the |
|
|
90:18 | I think also it's faster teaching just student, you know? Yeah, |
|
|
90:23 | can imagine it's just me. I , because if you had if you |
|
|
90:28 | more classmates, I'd probably getting more people would be interrupting me. |
|
|
90:32 | you know, and so yeah, maybe maybe that's that's I guess that's |
|
|
90:37 | excuse with it. I like but that's good. So um I |
|
|
90:46 | probably be able to get through the . I'll probably get through all the |
|
|
90:50 | because, you know, I've been been going fast and we have half |
|
|
90:54 | this lecture to go. I unless you want me to go through |
|
|
90:57 | rest of this lecture tonight, I , but we can probably do |
|
|
91:04 | The complex part complex my uh How many slides do we have |
|
|
91:17 | It's a total of 107 and we've through 50. So we've gone to |
|
|
91:25 | about half of them. And this doesn't go that this doesn't take |
|
|
91:30 | long to do this and I don't it's 100 sides for the other |
|
|
91:35 | So we could probably finish this stuff on friday and I'll be really happy |
|
|
91:41 | I will have presented all the material you and you will always be able |
|
|
91:46 | enjoy hours of recordings and so we'll this up, we'll pick this up |
|
|
91:54 | if you don't mind. Okay, fine. And if I mean you |
|
|
92:01 | do if you want but if I you, I would finish that model |
|
|
92:04 | today that way. You don't have worry about it ever again for the |
|
|
92:08 | of your life. So which I'm I'm gonna try to finish it today |
|
|
92:14 | sure. When do you want it if I don't get it done |
|
|
92:19 | Um I think I said let's do last day of class on Wednesday |
|
|
92:25 | Okay, that'll work. Yeah, definitely have it. I do whatever |
|
|
92:30 | want. I mean, I just frightened that you won't be able to |
|
|
92:35 | it again and have some problems, maybe I'm just, you know, |
|
|
92:39 | over think I left it open. haven't even I didn't close out of |
|
|
92:44 | . So it's sitting there and you say that one last time before we |
|
|
92:49 | doing this stuff. Right, Alright . Well, all right, |
|
|
92:54 | I think I think I think I I have had enough of this. |
|
|
92:58 | stay with the difficulties, but it's your fault. And you know, |
|
|
93:01 | I said, don't worry about I I didn't I hope you didn't take |
|
|
93:05 | . I said personally, no, fine. I was just like, |
|
|
93:08 | know how to use a computer like don't know what's happening right now. |
|
|
93:13 | , I mean you're a mac person you know, so like the |
|
|
93:17 | the logic, the logic is quite . I mean, I don't |
|
|
93:22 | you probably run into this stuff before that not being, you know, |
|
|
93:28 | , I don't know, I'll bet like Youtube videos out there that like |
|
|
93:32 | something like pC logic for, for users kind of thing so you |
|
|
93:37 | you know, understand some of I think at least once a |
|
|
93:44 | even in my undergrad, like I an issue where one of my classes |
|
|
93:49 | something for Windows and then I have max then I'm like, oh my |
|
|
93:53 | , what do I do? So think it's just, it's just time |
|
|
93:55 | me to get a Windows laptop and have it. Well, I |
|
|
94:00 | yeah, you know, I know had a, I had an ipad |
|
|
94:03 | I hated it because I hated having go through all the itunes sinking and |
|
|
94:08 | that crap. I thought, I , what a what a weird way |
|
|
94:12 | do things. You know what I ? I mean with with my |
|
|
94:16 | I just, I just have a chip that I load up my data |
|
|
94:20 | you know, I had, but I basically, I don't have anything |
|
|
94:25 | it other than it's called good notes like that's what I did my test |
|
|
94:29 | or when I do the slides, I can just everything. So I |
|
|
94:33 | just use it as a notebook. your handwriting is right on the |
|
|
94:37 | Uh huh wow. Yeah so like test that I sent you like I |
|
|
94:41 | did that all on my ipad and you can just export it as a |
|
|
94:45 | and then just send it wherever you . I can't even think like |
|
|
94:49 | Okay well well you're you're you're a person and more advanced or stuff like |
|
|
94:55 | than I am. I can't even like that. I have to I |
|
|
94:59 | if I'm if I read a paper closely I print it in and I |
|
|
95:05 | read it on the screen. I want to read it closely. I |
|
|
95:08 | print it so it's pretty old Alright then. So I'll see you |
|
|
95:15 | evening and that will be the last I guess. Huh, friday evening |
|
|
95:19 | mean yeah okay friday afternoon. And that will be the last lecture |
|
|
95:26 | then I just have to write one . I haven't scored years yet so |
|
|
95:29 | do that. I don't know. today. Maybe that I don't |
|
|
95:34 | All right, see you later. you next week later. Thank |
|
