00:00 | do you want to start with? ? It is perfect. Okay, |
|
00:05 | hope you had a good break. we ended this morning, we're looking |
|
00:10 | at how um the mantle deforms right flow, that creep process. And |
|
00:17 | is also, you know, one those creep processes is also how we |
|
00:22 | that the lower crust to dr lower the forms. So what we're now |
|
00:26 | to talk about is the brutal upper . And I'll come back to the |
|
00:33 | crist as well in the coming hour so. So see we have um |
|
00:44 | area on earth maybe. Um let's Canada. And at one point in |
|
00:54 | , Canada, I'm not gonna sketch but imagine this is Canada. And |
|
00:57 | looking from the air at Canada. point in time during one of the |
|
01:04 | ice ages, a large portion of was covered with an ice sheet. |
|
01:10 | I don't know what it looks Maybe something like this. And this |
|
01:15 | the ice sheet. It was covered of Canada at that time. Now |
|
01:23 | ice sheet issue probably all know, caused Canada to subside right? And |
|
01:30 | after the ice age when the ice has molten away, the surface of |
|
01:35 | earth came up in Canada. And the northern us. So that's uh |
|
01:42 | . Um First the service going down the influence of this ice sheet and |
|
01:49 | the surface coming up again when the sheet was removed. That is called |
|
01:55 | behavior of the crust, elastic behavior elastic deformation, elastic behavior or elastic |
|
02:12 | . So what does this mean? it's also it's what we something we |
|
02:16 | linear elastic behavior. And I explained you in a minute that this |
|
02:27 | So what does this mean? So we load the crist written I. |
|
02:36 | sheet. So here's the top of crust. Let me make it for |
|
02:44 | song, top of the crust. here's our growing ice sheet. Now |
|
02:56 | earth chris is going to do is to bend down under the load of |
|
03:03 | ice sheet. Now end of the sheet, ice age three and the |
|
03:16 | sheet is removed, it starts to away. Maybe a little bit is |
|
03:27 | . How does the earth response to ? The cursed bends up and bands |
|
03:37 | so much that all the deformation that caused by ice sheet, it's now |
|
03:43 | . It's been removed so the crust completely recovered. So this is called |
|
03:51 | elastic behavior. It is total recovery the load is removed. Questions so |
|
04:12 | right? So I'm gonna go to next slide. So total recovery when |
|
04:18 | load is removed, linear elastic I'm gonna sketch a graph here. |
|
04:24 | one to access data, vertical access , zero sigma, the notes in |
|
04:33 | next rest of today stresses an epsilon notes and the rest of the day |
|
04:42 | linear elastic behavior means there's a linear between stress and strength and up. |
|
04:49 | removal of the loads. We go to the original situation. Now, |
|
05:00 | for in case you forgot stress, , is the force per unit area |
|
05:12 | its units are skull to stress. hydrostatic stress. Right? I mean |
|
05:25 | think of sigma one sigma two sigma sort of thing. Yeah. So |
|
05:30 | not. Yeah. So actually it's next uh so we're gonna talk about |
|
05:38 | in a little bit. Principal You mean? Right. Yeah. |
|
05:43 | . Yeah. Okay. I'll shut . No, it's okay. So |
|
05:49 | other words, Earth's little sphere accursed of them. They behave elasticity following |
|
05:58 | elastic behavior. Um When you don't it too much. So loading with |
|
06:05 | ice sheet, you know, ice grows slowly. It's not that much |
|
06:09 | the slow removal of the ice It's not really spectacular. That results |
|
06:14 | elastic behavior elastic behavior. Mean, know, there's a load you perform |
|
06:19 | , you remove the loads, it back to its original situation. So |
|
06:26 | is when the curse is not stressed much. No, let's move to |
|
06:34 | next situation. When stress is are a certain threshold value, then something |
|
06:54 | will happen first. We would have elastic behavior. And that looks something |
|
07:10 | this. So this was our linear . Right? Nonlinear less behavior. |
|
07:15 | more like a um I need to about if I can sketch it. |
|
07:19 | like a loop. Do you know I mean? So you remove the |
|
07:23 | , it doesn't go back all the to where it dwells It takes a |
|
07:26 | class. And then then if the are increased even further we're gonna go |
|
07:33 | failure fill your means in the brittle crust. Reform of fault or in |
|
07:43 | doctor lower cruise. We have doctored this here this is permanent. Once |
|
07:59 | fall the form to falls we can't the falls. Once we have dr |
|
08:04 | information we can't undo the doctor the . Yeah. So when the stresses |
|
08:11 | low we have elastic deformation. We back to its original remove for example |
|
08:16 | ice sheet. If we're gonna go we first enter the norm elastic |
|
08:22 | So some of the deformation is permanent eventually we go to failure. So |
|
08:27 | in the brutal up across or ductile . And the doctor lower cost questions |
|
08:34 | far. No ma'am. Alright. . At low temperatures and pressures. |
|
08:46 | temperature and pressure when they are low low relatively. We're in the upper |
|
08:57 | and we'll have ritual behavior. We have brittle behavior at larger debts. |
|
09:08 | We'll come back to that in a generally when temperature and pressure are |
|
09:15 | So in the lower crust for example have dr behavior. So dr behavior |
|
09:26 | saw earlier. Right? You may a sheer song but you're not going |
|
09:30 | form a fault like a false surface you do in the upper crust. |
|
09:38 | I'm first going to focus now on brittle behavior. So what is gonna |
|
09:42 | with temperatures and pressures are low. like in the upper part of the |
|
09:46 | upper crust brittle behavior. What's gonna one point in time? He said |
|
09:54 | um the curse is gonna feel fotos form. When is that going to |
|
09:59 | ? It's gonna happen when this is going on. This is the |
|
10:04 | I'm just going to remove it because looks horrible, Explain it in a |
|
10:22 | 1st. Um give you a second copy this equation. So it's a |
|
10:28 | one minus sigma three. Largely A greater equal than better times rho |
|
10:36 | G times e times one minus Has anybody seen this equation before? |
|
10:53 | has a name? I'm gonna give the name. Just so you've seen |
|
10:57 | . This is called by ali by law. So by at least fill |
|
11:04 | law. I heard something about the knowledge principle. But not this not |
|
11:16 | . Alright, so what does this say? Sigma one sigma three. |
|
11:22 | maximum and minimum principal stresses, if stresses um exceed the term towards the |
|
11:36 | , will form a fault in the . So what is better bad has |
|
11:41 | number and the number is different for faults and refers false it strikes, |
|
11:47 | falls. So it's a number. for normal faults it's 0.75. I'm |
|
11:52 | gonna give you the values that you an idea role here is density of |
|
11:59 | crystal rocks. G is gravitational So that's like 9.8 m per second |
|
12:10 | right? Z. Its depths. I love that is what we call |
|
12:28 | poor fluid factor. Whoops sorry, fluid sector. So what? That |
|
12:39 | mean the poor fluid factor is the fluid pressure, divide it by the |
|
12:53 | pressure. So what does this situation ? In general it means that when |
|
13:22 | in the upper cruise where temperatures are very high that if you um your |
|
13:28 | principal stresses exceeds the number towards the , a fault will form in the |
|
13:34 | . If you extend the course you form a normal fault. If you |
|
13:37 | the cursed, you will form a fold. If you how do you |
|
13:42 | the cursed, You will form a fault. Strike slip fault. That's |
|
13:46 | it says. So um one I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna do two things |
|
13:53 | . The first thing I'm gonna do I'm gonna sketch this graph and then |
|
13:58 | gonna come back to one um Let's see. So first of all |
|
14:05 | sketch what this looks like. 1st to access Sigma Sigma three, |
|
14:15 | Take my well my secret sweet fertile depths. And that's we often indicate |
|
14:22 | a Z. Mhm. Now if go back to this equation, you |
|
14:29 | that there's a linear relationship ship between and sigma three and this Immigration and |
|
14:35 | . So this is gonna be a and this line does something like |
|
14:42 | Here's the relationship. So what does tell us? This tells us that |
|
14:49 | our sigma one minus sigma three exceed value that is indicated by this |
|
14:56 | we form a fault. So we towards the left here. The cursed |
|
15:03 | not under any stress. Now we're stress the curves. Maybe we are |
|
15:09 | it and it's gonna be stress and and stress more all this time |
|
15:14 | it will still have elastic behavior. you would stress. If you would |
|
15:18 | that, it would go back to it was originally. Then we're gonna |
|
15:23 | close to the curves. And now nonlinear elastic behavior start, then we're |
|
15:29 | hit the curve right here at that in time, what will happen will |
|
15:34 | a fault fought in the crust. , that's what this relationship means. |
|
15:45 | , I'm gonna go back and take look at this equation again. Because |
|
15:49 | is important for if you have an in working in the petroleum industry, |
|
15:57 | this factor lap Deion, they're right we call the poor fluid factor. |
|
16:00 | the poor fluid pressure over the alpha pressure. Now, when we inject |
|
16:08 | or C. 02 in a we do that on the high pressures |
|
16:14 | we do that to um flush out petroleum that may still be in |
|
16:20 | So this is secondary or tertiary So when we do that or for |
|
16:25 | when we get rid of waste you know, when when produced water |
|
16:29 | wastewater is re injected into the we do that on the high |
|
16:34 | So what happens when we do that increase the poor fluid pressure. This |
|
16:39 | also, for example, when you to fracture the rock, when you |
|
16:43 | the rock and people do a they put the fracking fluids into the |
|
16:48 | so they increase the pore fluid So that means that this term love |
|
16:54 | will become larger. And if you look at this equation where it is |
|
16:59 | this equation, you see that this here towards the right which we call |
|
17:05 | youth criterion, it's gonna be crossed lower um differential stresses. You see |
|
17:14 | . So in other words, if have a very high pore fluid pressure |
|
17:19 | you've been putting freaking fluid in there getting rid of few wastewater or putting |
|
17:25 | cl two under high pressure in the , you form faults or faults slip |
|
17:32 | more easily. And that is why have induced seismicity and earthquakes. When |
|
17:38 | do freaking and when we do, we get rid of waste water, |
|
17:41 | example, see that right now let's on again. So this graph shows |
|
17:52 | that when this differential stress difference is than around this point, you either |
|
17:57 | a new fault or you have get on an existing fault, whatever is |
|
18:03 | will happen. Questions so far. then, then I'm gonna move forward |
|
18:14 | at larger adepts in the cruise where and pressures are higher at those |
|
18:24 | there's a different relationship between the stresses exceed a normal, you know some |
|
18:29 | of value and information. And so relationship I'm gonna write down now and |
|
18:36 | looks like this. I'm gonna write down. You don't need to learn |
|
18:40 | by heart or anything like that but want to give it to you. |
|
18:43 | you have an idea. So what see here again in this equation is |
|
18:56 | that looks like strain. This is strain rate. There's an epsilon again |
|
19:04 | towards the right here you can see stresses again. Now we can rewrite |
|
19:11 | equation and then it looks like this sigma one minus sigma three or uh |
|
19:17 | , but we just had ecos. here we have again a relationship between |
|
19:47 | principles stresses and in this particular case temperature not with death but with |
|
19:56 | So what would this relationship, this criterion look like? If we would |
|
20:03 | it? I'm gonna do that in next slide. So hers also access |
|
20:07 | again have sigma minus sigma three, axis is depth or temperature. We |
|
20:17 | know that temperature increases with depth inside earth. Right? So I can |
|
20:20 | the vertical access also temperature I'm just make it uh temperature. Sorry, |
|
20:26 | gonna make a depth here but it also temperature. All right, So |
|
20:30 | I'm gonna sketch this curve. This . The relationship that we just |
|
20:38 | Oops, that's this shape. So . Right? Exponential decrease with an |
|
20:49 | in temperature or with an increase in . So what does this means that |
|
21:00 | we are at large projects in the temperatures and pressures are higher? The |
|
21:05 | have again that um elastic behavior phase we're in. Right? However, |
|
21:14 | this term is gonna increase and we're gonna be at the point in |
|
21:19 | where we're gonna cross that curve. is what we call our youth |
|
21:24 | This is what people call that. then we when we hit it, |
|
21:29 | gonna have permanent deformation in the upper . That was faulting slip along the |
|
21:34 | . In the lower course. That be ductile deformation questions so far, |
|
21:46 | gonna go back and let's take a at this um equation and a little |
|
21:50 | more detail. So, these are differential stresses. I'm not going to |
|
21:54 | about those. An earlier earlier sketch had absalon vs. Sigma. |
|
22:01 | I think sigma here an epsilon Absalon would be called strain an |
|
22:12 | Absolutely. The dot on top of is train reads stream rings A. |
|
22:23 | is a constant. That has a . It's called Adorn constant after somebody |
|
22:28 | did experiments in the lab. And a number And this number is called |
|
22:35 | power law exponents. And then a for N. is for example 2.3 |
|
22:46 | three. A number like that. we have here. Q. |
|
22:52 | Is the excitation energy. Mhm. here is the gas constant and |
|
23:10 | C. Temperature, correct? Anybody an idea what activation energy could mean |
|
23:21 | in this context? Um I would the energy required for the molecule to |
|
23:29 | from the lower energy level to the energy level. That's what it is |
|
23:33 | chemistry. That's also what it is earth science. That's perfect. Remember |
|
23:38 | he sketched those crystals. Right? maybe a vacancy and then there's places |
|
23:45 | . So it's basically an energy that could see that is needed in order |
|
23:49 | this little guy to jump out of comfortable situation and make it over |
|
23:57 | Yeah. Excellent. All right. what does this equation tell us? |
|
24:04 | equation tells us when dr deformation or deformation may occur. So it's a |
|
24:11 | youth criterion. Right. First we elastic information and at one point in |
|
24:16 | we reach the youth criterion, there's longer elastic deformation information is not |
|
24:22 | Whether it is this jumping and fiscal or doctored information or whether it is |
|
24:29 | formation of a fault that we saw the brittle part. Something is gonna |
|
24:34 | . That's what the youth criterion So what does this mean? In |
|
24:41 | ? Let's make one more sketch. have sigma on minus sigma three. |
|
24:46 | then the vertical excesses depths. Now first talked about by Ali's Law. |
|
24:52 | linear relationship. I guess it's the criterion from brittle faulting. It looks |
|
24:58 | like this, right? And then talked about this Doctor Flow Law, |
|
25:04 | one that we were just talking about exponents. And it looked something like |
|
25:10 | , correct? Now this steps it's called a ritual dr transition in |
|
25:23 | cursed the mojo is somewhere here. what does this graph tells us? |
|
25:34 | graph tells us that if we're somewhere the upper crust and the upper crust |
|
25:38 | gonna be stressed because of whatever may the loading of a an ice sheet |
|
25:44 | some tectonic process. At first we elastic deformation that's all going on |
|
25:51 | When stresses exceed a certain threshold we're gonna have permanent deformation. The |
|
25:58 | deformation is either gonna be brittle faulting it's gonna be doctor deformation. |
|
26:10 | the upper curve is reached is crossed . That's the deformation mechanism. That's |
|
26:16 | . So if you look at the crust somewhere in here, say at |
|
26:20 | steps, maybe that is five kilometers or so the upper crust is being |
|
26:26 | . You see that it is much to reach this this brittle failure curve |
|
26:33 | it is to reach the Doctor of curve. So that means that in |
|
26:37 | upper crust we have brittle deformation in lower crust. It's a different |
|
26:42 | I can extend this Violence Law curve it does something like this in the |
|
26:47 | cost. It's a different story when increase our stresses on this lower |
|
26:52 | we're first gonna meet the doctor flow . So that's gonna be a failure |
|
26:59 | . We're gonna have doctor the We're never gonna get here. You |
|
27:03 | that because at that point in time course has dr lee deformed the lower |
|
27:09 | . There's not gonna be any faulty so. Questions about that, |
|
27:18 | I'm gonna continue below the mojo below crust. We have the mental little |
|
27:24 | . This here, it's a it's ductile flow curve for a typical |
|
27:31 | grand night crystal material, granite. Mental consists of difference material you may |
|
27:41 | or know that's a mental there's a of all opinion. So let's call |
|
27:46 | mantle olivine. All of them has different flow law than granite. And |
|
27:55 | of the flow low. I don't what it looks like, but maybe |
|
27:57 | looks something like this. Oh, doesn't actually. I know by heart |
|
28:04 | looks something like this. Now let's a look what we have. Now |
|
28:12 | start at the surface we have this nude criterion. The bias least law |
|
28:17 | was reached first. Now we get the lower cross in the lower |
|
28:22 | we see that the Doctor flow law the one that is reached first. |
|
28:26 | see that now we're at the So now we're in the mental in |
|
28:32 | mental. We have minerals rich in of in rocks rich in all of |
|
28:38 | . Sorry I have to say so granite flow law doesn't really count for |
|
28:43 | mental anymore because there's not much granite the mental. So we're now gonna |
|
28:48 | to this flow law here. So is it gonna look like? We're |
|
28:52 | the mojo if we look at these and we want to see what the |
|
28:57 | mechanism is active re reach this brittle first, you see that but then |
|
29:06 | we go even deeper than that that maybe this is like the lower part |
|
29:11 | the mental atmosphere. We see that hit this all of inflow first. |
|
29:20 | makes sense. Right? So let's a look at what our curve looks |
|
29:29 | now. So these horizontal lines shouldn't . They're gonna try one more |
|
29:47 | So this is called strength curve of little sphere, wrist strength profile and |
|
30:00 | because of its shape. Sometimes people about christmas trees because it's kind of |
|
30:08 | the shape of half a christmas tree some. Alright, so this is |
|
30:14 | strength profile in the first questions about so far. Right? So let's |
|
30:24 | one more time from the left. here's the mojo and this linear |
|
30:41 | this linear curve that was bilis lower criteria, right? So that is |
|
30:45 | brittle deformation. This linear curve is brittle deformation. This curve here was |
|
30:54 | dr the information and this curve here for doctor the information or physical |
|
31:01 | So if we start at the surface the earth, we first have a |
|
31:05 | in which we have brittle the information the upper crust with faulting. Then |
|
31:10 | have a layer reducto the information, the lower crust that sometimes people say |
|
31:15 | lower crust flows. Then we enter uppermost part of the Mental little sphere |
|
31:21 | then we can have again a zone brutal information and then the rest of |
|
31:26 | mental little sphere all the way down the core mantle boundary would be like |
|
31:31 | a doctor um Doctor or Fiscus curve that. Yeah. Right. So |
|
31:40 | I have a question for you, if you look at this figure |
|
31:46 | can you say from looking at this where earthquakes occur at what depth |
|
31:52 | Earthquakes occur? Yeah, folds create right? When you have slipped on |
|
32:09 | folds, that's how you basically start earthquake. So earthquakes are associated with |
|
32:16 | . So we find these earthquakes here steps and these steps. So this |
|
32:21 | where the earthquakes are earthquakes in the Little sphere are very rare but they |
|
32:27 | been observed in some places. literary earthquakes have earthquakes. Now the |
|
32:34 | topic that I want to talk to about is strength. So this profile |
|
32:40 | towards the right is sometimes called strength of the little sphere. Why would |
|
32:46 | name that a strength profile. Where you point to? What are you |
|
33:00 | ? The strength profile? Okay. would we call that a stress growth |
|
33:14 | you think you know why that is everything towards the left of this |
|
33:27 | the little sphere can take without permanent . So remember here towards the left |
|
33:34 | have that elastic deformation, right? not whoops, it's not permanent. |
|
33:39 | you could say that this curve indicates strength of the little sphere. When |
|
33:45 | when you hit that curve, that's you start to break the curse or |
|
33:50 | permanent doctor or viscous deformation. So gives you an idea of the strength |
|
33:55 | it relates to the information. So why these curves are called strength |
|
34:00 | So now I'm gonna sketch several for . So I'm no longer putting the |
|
34:06 | in because I think you know by what's on the axis? So here's |
|
34:11 | and we're gonna put a second one here. Oops, I'm gonna start |
|
34:22 | . Oops, start over, this the first one And I'm gonna do |
|
34:30 | 2nd 1. I'll make it with . So it's easier to see there's |
|
34:48 | curves. Now one the straight The other one like this open |
|
34:52 | Which one of these gives you the little sphere, the straight line. |
|
35:05 | . So why is that? It's . It's because it is form compared |
|
35:11 | the loops. The loops we can't at what point it is having the |
|
35:16 | strength. The straight line. The might be like uniform over the |
|
35:25 | Not quite. Hayden, I'm gonna it on to you. So your |
|
35:31 | was correct. The straight line gives the strongest little sphere or indicates the |
|
35:37 | little sphere here. Oh you're Um The first thing that I noticed |
|
35:51 | that the brittle strings are the same both curves but the duck calls are |
|
36:01 | . That's exactly what's going on. what I try to sketch. So |
|
36:06 | we say that this curse represent the of the legislator, give us the |
|
36:12 | of wiggle room we have until we permanent information. That's what these curves |
|
36:16 | right now let's first follow the solid . For example at these steps here |
|
36:24 | solid curve. If that was our sphere it would tell us we can |
|
36:28 | all this stress until we have permanent . When we look at this curve |
|
36:34 | has these circles we say we can handle this march stress until we have |
|
36:41 | deformation. You see that? So one you said it correctly. Um |
|
36:47 | is the weaker one and this one stronger. Makes sense for no |
|
36:58 | Gonna try one more time. Let's go ahead. So it's it's stronger |
|
37:05 | it is a little bit farther from axis, correct? It's stronger because |
|
37:09 | further towards the right. So that that you can exert more stresses on |
|
37:14 | little sphere before you have permanent Yeah. So remember everything on the |
|
37:20 | side of this curve is elastic Right? It's more permanent. |
|
37:27 | Um Let's see. Um It's the curve that I was sketch. So |
|
38:00 | of these curves is dashed. The ones is so the other one is |
|
38:04 | . Which one presents the stronger little ? The solid one or the dashed |
|
38:12 | ? You see it? Right? in other words the larger the area |
|
38:17 | the curve, the stronger the little . Okay, now let's take a |
|
38:25 | at these curves. So what I here and you were exactly right about |
|
38:29 | , Hayden, I never changed this law. I kept at the same |
|
38:35 | whole time. What I changed was this doctor curve here. Oops. |
|
38:42 | this one here and here the I changed this one and I changed |
|
38:46 | one. So this curve are related this relationship. He saw it that |
|
38:54 | dependent on temperature. So now I'm go move forward. So the first |
|
39:02 | gave us this line here and this here, the first temperature profile. |
|
39:08 | first geothermal, The second geothermal gave this here and this here. Which |
|
39:19 | corresponds to a higher temperature in which corresponds to a lower temperature? Let's |
|
39:26 | all of them A. And And be B. Represents a higher |
|
39:36 | . Yeah. Um Maybe I should it differently. A or B. |
|
39:53 | one which you find in colder little . And which one would you find |
|
39:57 | warmer little sphere be? Isn't be like it's a warmer temperature it's reversed |
|
40:11 | scholar and A. Is warmer. let me go back to that equation |
|
40:18 | soon ruth real quickly. Sorry. T. Is here. It's below |
|
40:24 | line. You see that first. . Alright let's go back here. |
|
40:32 | when temperatures in that atmosphere are we follow this line. When temperatures |
|
40:39 | warmer, we follow this line so colder. And this is warmer. |
|
40:46 | the same for here colder, So that means that in places where |
|
40:53 | little sphere is colder, that's where little sphere is stronger. You see |
|
41:00 | in places where the little sphere is , we follow these dr curves that |
|
41:05 | up here and our little our little is actually weaker. So cold corresponds |
|
41:10 | strong and warm corresponds to weaker. let's see um Yeah we still have |
|
41:37 | right Now. I'm gonna take one for her. So here's the curve |
|
41:49 | and by the way for different areas come back to that in several minutes |
|
41:53 | looks a little bit different discourse but doesn't really matter. The idea is |
|
41:56 | same. So we know now that is brittle deformation. Right? This |
|
42:00 | dr this is brittle and this is fiscus. Yeah. Alright. Um |
|
42:11 | we talked about that this here towards left of the curve. That's where |
|
42:17 | have a list stick information. A with earth where the little street is |
|
42:32 | . This curve is gonna look more this. Another place on Earth where |
|
42:41 | little sphere is warm. The curve gonna look more like this. This |
|
42:53 | is strong. This one this Now when we talk about elastic deformation |
|
43:02 | the little sphere, we don't talk a certain layer. You see that |
|
43:07 | right? You can have the elastic everywhere. But geologists like to talk |
|
43:14 | elastic deformation in the atmosphere in another as well. And that is as |
|
43:19 | . We have here, you know top of the course. So this |
|
43:22 | earth surface, here's the mojo, the mental little sphere and then below |
|
43:30 | is the S. T. No . So this is how we've been |
|
43:37 | about the little sphere so far. then we have like a brittle upper |
|
43:41 | and a doctor lower crust. So know that by now we'd like some |
|
43:46 | in between brittle doctor mojo. Mental sphere, esteem a sphere. |
|
43:53 | if you look at a little sphere a whole and you load it, |
|
43:58 | that a volcano volcano can be a right? It's extra rocks on top |
|
44:03 | the little sphere. So it's a . What we see is what the |
|
44:07 | sphere is doing. It's gonna start bend a little bit like this. |
|
44:13 | is exaggerated. Right? It's never this. But just to give human |
|
44:16 | it's gonna bend under the road and bending under alert how it happens. |
|
44:24 | could see it as if as if it is not, but it is |
|
44:30 | if we have an elastic plate and loading this elastic plate with a volcano |
|
44:40 | ice sheet and mountain range, So it is as if we have |
|
44:45 | elastic plate, so we don't really an elastic plate or an elastic layer |
|
44:50 | the little sphere. It's just if look at it from afar as a |
|
44:54 | , it looks like it behaves as elastic plate. Now, that's elastic |
|
45:02 | can have a certain sickness if you're plate is sin, here's our synth |
|
45:09 | plates, I'm gonna load it with volcano. Then the elastic plate is |
|
45:15 | to the form like this yourself. , no, if our elastic plates |
|
45:26 | be thick. So maybe this thick we're gonna load a bit of |
|
45:32 | the same volcano, then the elastic would bend like this makes sense, |
|
45:44 | No. Yes, ma'am. So other words, this elastic plate has |
|
45:51 | sickness, you're sick here, it sin. The sickness of the elastic |
|
46:03 | depends on the temperature and the strength , and this is what's going |
|
46:20 | If our elastic plate is sick or plate is thick when we have a |
|
46:28 | area on the death curve, that be a sick elastic plate. When |
|
46:35 | have a small area on the IRv. Oh, now it looks |
|
46:41 | that, but you get the We have a sin elastic plate. |
|
46:46 | in other words a strong plate. a place that is called and that |
|
46:54 | a large elastic thickness. A plate is warm. It's weak and it |
|
47:03 | a thin elastic sequence. So again is not it's not when you drill |
|
47:08 | the little sphere that you see an layer. So it's not it's like |
|
47:12 | whole the whole as a whole how responds elastically to allowed. Makes sense |
|
47:21 | no. Yes. Great. Um let me see if there's anything else |
|
47:29 | need to look at at the moment we can go to the um You |
|
47:37 | one more thing, one more So this thickness of the imaginary elastic |
|
47:44 | is a name and it's called the elastic sickness. Where sometimes people call |
|
47:56 | maybe the elastic plate sickness. So summarize this. We have our little |
|
48:13 | here but it cursed the mental part top of the nastiness. Fear we |
|
48:26 | sketch a strength profile through the little . We did it before sigma, |
|
48:31 | minus sigma three vertical. We start , we have brittle deformation groups, |
|
48:40 | deformation deformation. Here's to mojo. there's more brittle deformation doctored information all |
|
48:49 | way down. We call this the curve or strength envelope. Doesn't really |
|
48:58 | how you want to call it. that is because on the left side |
|
49:02 | the curve um You know the little can handle that, the information, |
|
49:05 | ? It's elastic. You take away load. It goes back to how |
|
49:08 | used to be this here. This is called what we call the youth |
|
49:15 | At that point in time, deformation be permanent because it's either 14 slip |
|
49:21 | the fault, doctored information, physical , etc. And then the area |
|
49:27 | the curve, that was something about strength of the little sphere. The |
|
49:34 | the area, the larger the strength sense. Right. It's like how |
|
49:39 | , how much can it handle before permanently deforms. Now, when we |
|
49:48 | at this, we saw little earthquakes are here and here. One |
|
49:53 | thing I needed to talk about if look at this strength profile where in |
|
50:01 | little sphere is the most strength, would be the strongest layer in the |
|
50:10 | sphere at um just below the Um You agree? Yeah. All |
|
50:22 | . What would be the weakest layer this particular case? In the little |
|
50:27 | ? The crest, which part of crust? The upper probably take a |
|
50:37 | at the curve. There's a place in the lower most lower crust. |
|
50:45 | where its weakest. Yeah. So the little sphere, there's layers that |
|
50:50 | stronger and layers that are weaker and you know, that's it's important. |
|
50:58 | important for a lot of sedimentary we'll talk more about that later. |
|
51:04 | So in this particular case, we say there's a fairly strong layer here |
|
51:09 | the midst first. And there's a strong layer in the uppermost part of |
|
51:14 | mental atmosphere. And then in this case, we would say, |
|
51:18 | the lower most portion of the upper this week, you see that, |
|
51:22 | then everything actually below here is weak well. So, um I didn't |
|
51:29 | this curve very precisely. If it have been more precisely than this, |
|
51:35 | be more something like this. And you see where you're at the base |
|
51:40 | the little sphere here, you basically lose all the strength and that is |
|
51:46 | base of what we call the little plate, or the tectonic plate. |
|
51:50 | see that under it, there's very strength beneath. There's very little strength |
|
51:57 | . So the S tina sphere is weak layer. All right. The |
|
52:06 | thing we saw is that um everything the left of the curve is elastic |
|
52:12 | deformation. And then the area under curve gives you an idea of how |
|
52:18 | the little sphere is and how thick elastic plate sicknesses. So, if |
|
52:24 | area under this curve is very we're talking about cold little sphere, |
|
52:29 | talking about thick lettuce. Fear, thinking about talking about a thick large |
|
52:35 | sickness. If the area under this is very small, we're talking about |
|
52:39 | worm, little sphere, weak little and thin elastic thickness of the |
|
52:48 | All right, then one more thing we talked about temperature if we would |
|
52:54 | up this little sphere, The bible law, you know that forcing youth |
|
53:00 | that doesn't change. It wasn't dependent temperature. So it's not gonna |
|
53:04 | But the curves that are gonna change these ones here the exponential that were |
|
53:10 | dependent on temperature. Those ones are change if temperatures go down in the |
|
53:16 | sphere, so that this for cools , this curves curves moves down and |
|
53:23 | one moves down if temperatures go up a little sphere, these curves move |
|
53:32 | when the curves move up, the sphere becomes weaker. You have a |
|
53:37 | little sphere, it's harder, it's when the temperatures go down, your |
|
53:42 | sphere becomes stronger, so colder. sphere is stronger. Yeah, So |
|
53:47 | called strong worm and weak. It's and stronger together, worm and weak |
|
53:55 | together And I called as strong goes a large elastic thickness of the plate |
|
54:04 | warm and we go with a small thickness of the plate. Questions about |
|
54:20 | , No ma'am. Alright, so we are ready to start, What's |
|
54:29 | difference between creme brulee and jelly Alright, so what they was asking |
|
54:38 | when you go further in your you may see those terms, |
|
54:41 | it looks like they are saying something , but a lot of geologists say |
|
54:46 | things jelly sandwich, what's the jelly ? It's a slice of bread jelly |
|
54:52 | the middle and another slice of The slice of bread is strong. |
|
54:58 | jelly in the middle is weak. there's another slice of bread below. |
|
55:03 | take a look at the strength We have a stronger layer here, |
|
55:08 | weak layer here and strong layer So sometimes people name this strength |
|
55:17 | uh what is it? Rich strength profile. This is what they |
|
55:24 | with it strongly strong. I just handout. It's like when the temperature |
|
55:34 | , the elasticity of uh material is to increase, right? Like |
|
55:42 | Well, but that's not. It . But that's not what I'm talking |
|
55:46 | here. So, we're here, taking back, we're taking entire entire |
|
55:51 | sphere plates as a whole. When heat plates, it's gonna become weaker |
|
56:00 | weaker plate. Sinner elastic plate. that make sense? So maybe it |
|
56:08 | the same as what you said, . Okay, I'm sorry. |
|
56:20 | go ahead. No, I don't if you are talking about this. |
|
56:26 | question about so that there is a amongst gene analysis of the jelly sandwich |
|
56:33 | the creme brulee. So, like creme brulee. Those folks think that |
|
56:41 | strength of the litmus fear is focused in the crust. Am I right |
|
56:46 | not any other mental? Let's talk it because this is important for |
|
56:54 | So we can talk about it by slow our doctor flolo, your simone |
|
57:09 | , or this curve continues. So it picks up here and then |
|
57:15 | does something like this, right? maybe even that we correct, make |
|
57:22 | , let's make it more extreme. here's the mojo, we never reached |
|
57:28 | doctor branch again because here in comes second doctor curve and this is the |
|
57:35 | curve. Yeah, I mean I , this is possible. You can |
|
57:45 | this, when would you have You could have that in like beneath |
|
57:51 | great basin where you have a really , it's really hot and the crust |
|
57:56 | , it's very thin even though the Basin is the Great Basin is most |
|
58:00 | most of Nevada. And the, know it's even though the whole region |
|
58:07 | very elevated, The crust is only km thick in some places and so |
|
58:14 | . And if you put the magnet like flat. So this is that's |
|
58:19 | idea for that. But I gotta that that I mean you know there |
|
58:25 | , there are only like five rift on the planet that are wide like |
|
58:31 | . Um Like the great basin. sense is that just, I mean |
|
58:37 | got creighton's floating around since our key time. If this if the creme |
|
58:45 | , I hope everyone knows what the brulee is. We've had some of |
|
58:54 | have had that dessert. Yeah, just I'm just hoping everyone had |
|
58:59 | Yeah. So that's the only reason brought it up because it's, it |
|
59:02 | a discussion that people have when they about these yield strength envelopes and um |
|
59:09 | sort of ideas. So I'll shut what we're gonna do after the break |
|
59:15 | we're gonna look at um a series these strength profiles for different tectonic provinces |
|
59:21 | earth. So the one we've been about this one here, that's the |
|
59:25 | one. If you explain it to that's what you would do. But |
|
59:29 | for different places on earth they look . Right? It's different for the |
|
59:35 | than it is for the Great It's different for a creatine. You |
|
59:39 | Canada. It's very different from between and um whatever. Um maybe the |
|
59:47 | grab in europe or in the North grab. So from place to place |
|
59:51 | very different. So we're gonna talk that after the break but it's it's |
|
59:58 | good point um deal. And the is is that if you understand how |
|
60:04 | build such a strength profile that it's know from bailey's law, the doctor |
|
60:09 | things like that. That and that one here is dependent on temperature. |
|
60:14 | also gives you a very good idea um what could affect the shape of |
|
60:20 | strength profile. Right? It's usually . So yeah. Before just having |
|
60:27 | break. So the thing I just about the temperature and the elasticity. |
|
60:33 | not like I'm a little bit confused the warmer having the small elastic thickness |
|
60:42 | the cooler. Having a longer elastic . No, it's it's the other |
|
60:47 | around. So, warm means weak the earth means thin elastic late. |
|
61:02 | , yeah. So this example where had the thin plates and then loading |
|
61:07 | a volcano and it does something like that goes back to warm story. |
|
61:14 | cold story is strongly to sphere thick plates. So it doesn't deform easily |
|
61:32 | the cold compared to the woman, . Okay, it looks very |
|
61:37 | Don't you think so? Yeah. this is actually, we're gonna talk |
|
61:42 | this after the break. This is foreland basins and flexible basins form. |
|
61:47 | so we're gonna talk about that So let's see it is two minutes |
|
61:54 | . So what I suggest is that have a 10 minute break before we |
|
61:59 | on with the foreland basins and then just just gonna be foreland basins um |
|
62:05 | the rest of the afternoon. ma'am. Alright, we'll see you |
|
62:12 | 10 minutes already. Perfect. Thanks your time. Okay. four land |
|
62:33 | . So foreland basins are flexible basins that means that are caused by fleck |
|
62:44 | of the little sphere and that happens the little sphere is being loaded. |
|
62:50 | foreland basins, they form next to ranges. Or 4th 1st Bells. |
|
62:56 | for example, on both sides of rocky mountains, we find foreland basins |
|
63:01 | the south side of the Himalayas. find foreland basins, north side of |
|
63:04 | alps etcetera. Yeah. So that's type of basin we're gonna talk about |
|
63:10 | and then a little bit, I'm go to the power point to give |
|
63:13 | illustrations. But now let's just start some basics. Alright, if this |
|
63:23 | our little sphere and we're gonna load little sphere with a mountain range, |
|
63:33 | here's our mountain range, folks. bound what the industry is gonna |
|
63:37 | It's gonna bend or flex under this and it's bending or flexing. Looks |
|
63:44 | like this. And I'm just gonna , I'm I'm gonna accelerate it. |
|
63:54 | This is accelerated so advance and advance such a way that we form a |
|
64:01 | deep basin here and then there's something a boot which as you can |
|
64:11 | And then here in the back there's of a depression and people call that |
|
64:15 | back boot. And then towards here going on. So this is what |
|
64:22 | looks like. So in other we load an elastic plate, we |
|
64:28 | a deep basin here, approach here back booth here and then we are |
|
64:34 | the only formed region. So this deformation of an elastic plate is described |
|
64:42 | what we call the flexible equation flexible . I'm just gonna give it to |
|
64:53 | . And then later we'll talk about in a little bit more detail. |
|
64:58 | you don't need to know this factual by heart, but you need to |
|
65:03 | it. So describe the different So the only thing we're gonna look |
|
65:22 | now and then the rest of the we're going to look at more detail |
|
65:26 | is gonna look at the fact that is 1/4 order differential equation. You |
|
65:31 | that? And the fourth all this equation. The forms in the way |
|
65:37 | I just showed you. So, is the loads on the elastic plates |
|
65:42 | the loads can be again, a range or large volcanic system. The |
|
65:49 | has this shape? Does that make ? If this were a second order |
|
65:57 | equation, the deformation would have this , but that's not what it |
|
66:02 | This is what it is. It's order differential equation that describes deflection of |
|
66:10 | an elastic plate. So that's what gonna talk about next. So, |
|
66:15 | gonna go out of this power point quickly and then I'm gonna start the |
|
66:23 | power point. Then we're gonna talk for that base. Let me see |
|
66:39 | I am here. So sure. , you have this power points, |
|
66:59 | ? So, we just talked about behavior before the break. So, |
|
67:03 | a lot of evidence of elastic behavior the little sphere on earth. And |
|
67:08 | example, is loading of the little of the crystal ice sheets. What's |
|
67:13 | in northern europe here, look Looking at a map of Scandinavia. And |
|
67:17 | happens, for example, in And now now we're no longer in |
|
67:20 | ice age, the ice sheet is away. And what we see as |
|
67:25 | response is that the cruise comes it moves back up again and what |
|
67:30 | see in this map here, towards right is the uplift rate in mm |
|
67:35 | year. So the last ice age year was I think 10,000 years ago |
|
67:41 | so. So at the moment, part of Scandinavia is coming up with |
|
67:47 | a centimeter per year. Right, you may have heard of this as |
|
67:55 | . So underneath Hawaii Hawaii is a of large volcanoes on the pacific |
|
68:02 | Right? Those volcanoes acts as a on the pacific plate and they banned |
|
68:06 | pacific plate in a similar way that occurs in different locations. So that |
|
68:12 | shown here. So, you see in the center Hawaii, the |
|
68:17 | And then um let's see here, see the banding of the plate, |
|
68:25 | see that and you may wonder why this coming up here? And this |
|
68:29 | coming up here. That is just underneath Hawaii is a mental cruel and |
|
68:34 | causes dynamic uplift and thermo uplift of surface and then superimposed on that is |
|
68:39 | flexible of information. Now, let's about foreland basins. So foreland basins |
|
68:46 | next to mountain ranges from the same . The mountain range acts as a |
|
68:51 | on the cursed or on the load the little sphere and as a result |
|
68:55 | that, the little will start to and you form a sedimentary basin in |
|
68:59 | Himalayan foreland basin is an example. the Himalayan foreland basin is located here |
|
69:06 | northern India and it's the foreland basin formed on their influence of the load |
|
69:13 | by the Himalayas here. And as see when you look at this foreland |
|
69:21 | , you see that it actually follows entire length of this origin right of |
|
69:27 | Himalayas. So this foreland basins can very elongated in shape and in this |
|
69:33 | case this foreland basin is also fairly . It's not 1000 kilometers but it |
|
69:40 | this hundreds of kilometers wide. All right. So we talked about |
|
69:49 | elastic plates earlier today and what I to do is go with you over |
|
69:56 | couple of strength profiles and calculated for areas on earth. And you can |
|
70:02 | some of those calculations here. So you see the the curve is a |
|
70:08 | bit different from what I sketched on board and it's just because on the |
|
70:11 | are trying to keep things different. simple. But here this for example |
|
70:17 | is the bilis law, the brittle and he can clearly recognize that exponent |
|
70:26 | , the temperature dependence Doctor or fiscus now. So here are shown strength |
|
70:33 | from different areas on birth. So let's take a look at this one |
|
70:41 | , the left upper one. So we can see clearly an upper |
|
70:45 | a brittle upper crust and a doctor crust. Just as we discussed before |
|
70:50 | break? Here's the mobile 40 kilometer , A rather normal left. And |
|
70:56 | here we can see a strong upper in the mental little sphere. So |
|
71:02 | upper mental atmospheric layer. This is similar to what we talked about |
|
71:07 | Now let's go to the one below . So here we can see again |
|
71:11 | brittle upper first. It looks very to what you've seen below. But |
|
71:16 | in this particular case the mojo is a 40 kilometer steps but it's much |
|
71:21 | and such a deeper mojo you may underneath a mountain range such as the |
|
71:27 | or the endless or the Himalayas. that has a big influence on this |
|
71:36 | envelope or on the strength of the sphere. You can see now that |
|
71:40 | have a very thick and weak lower and that we have a very thin |
|
71:46 | layer in the mental little sphere. see that So underneath mountain ranges, |
|
71:52 | places where we have mountain ranges, little sphere itself is weaker than in |
|
71:57 | locations. So we have a strong normal upper crust, we have a |
|
72:01 | weak lower crust, then we have thin upper mental layer, upper |
|
72:06 | fair layer and then the rest of mental industry is fairly weak. Let's |
|
72:13 | a look at this one here. any idea where that one could be |
|
72:20 | what area on earth that one could from? Uh huh there's really strong |
|
72:38 | strength, but hardly any got those . Um is it any volcanic |
|
72:50 | No, because the volcanic area would halt. Right, so this |
|
73:05 | this is from a creighton. So ons. Are these old strong course |
|
73:13 | the continents? A little first you see the mobile is at 40 |
|
73:18 | depth, so a normal chris Right. Nothing weird going on. |
|
73:23 | so I think this could be a court um which means very little doctor |
|
73:28 | information as you know the state um strong overall, very strong little |
|
73:34 | I would think it could be a . Yeah, So this would be |
|
73:41 | , a normal area anywhere maybe in rift zone or anywhere else on |
|
73:48 | Not too old. Little sphere this would be in a mountain range |
|
73:53 | I would think. And this here be in a creighton. Now, |
|
73:59 | idea what this could be? Let ask. Are you here? |
|
74:08 | I'm here. So let's see it's upper mantle, but a weaker upper |
|
74:17 | . So Uh huh. Let me , I don't know. I mean |
|
74:29 | me it seems like a combination of The 1st 2 on the left. |
|
74:35 | these are these all basins or just anywhere anywhere? I don't know |
|
74:44 | Why does it have three? So Oh um this is this is over |
|
74:51 | zone Could be so what you're looking . So the mole is shown |
|
74:56 | right, rather deep, 60 But what they're indicating here is that |
|
75:03 | have to doctor flows for the So could be a region where maybe there |
|
75:13 | a very different composition of the of upper or a bit. I mean |
|
75:23 | know, it looks like it's like why it's like something's layered there. |
|
75:28 | know? I would think that as . Yeah. Right, let's move |
|
75:36 | . So we've actually been here So if we load the little |
|
75:40 | the elastic plates with some kind of and unload again can be a volcano |
|
75:45 | a mountain range. What we see that the little sphere behaves elastically for |
|
75:50 | of hundreds of millions of years. this is what it looks like. |
|
75:53 | have an elastic plate with the the load is on the elastic |
|
75:58 | deflects or flexes the elastic plate. then the space that's being created can |
|
76:03 | filled in with sediments for with So what is the elastic place? |
|
76:10 | elastic plate is not simple. The sphere, we saw that. |
|
76:14 | let's take places like an imaginary plate that can be thicker in some |
|
76:20 | And sinner in other places, a elastic plate thicknesses between say 30 and |
|
76:27 | km or so. So 80 km high and 10 km is long. |
|
76:33 | gives you an idea of what we're about here. So it's not like |
|
76:36 | in one layer within the little sphere it's more like as a whole the |
|
76:41 | sphere behaves as an elastic place. what can the load be? So |
|
76:46 | load can be again a mountain so mountains or volcanoes for example. |
|
76:57 | also if you have a thick layer sediments you can imagine that could also |
|
77:02 | a load. So a load is everything else that that that is leaning |
|
77:09 | the crust, that will be a . Alright so bending of an elastic |
|
77:17 | is called deflection. So sometimes we about bending of the little sphere but |
|
77:22 | we also talk about deflection of the sphere. So I'm just gonna put |
|
77:27 | word here. So you um so know that it exists. And then |
|
77:31 | we have the equation for the deflection an elastic plate. So this is |
|
77:37 | an elastic plate. And here's the the equation and we're gonna go over |
|
77:44 | in the next few steps and let's give it a start here, start |
|
77:49 | one term. So deflection is So the term W here and w |
|
77:56 | describes the deflection. So the the banding of the little sphere. |
|
78:02 | that is shown here with this curve . So this curve, the dash |
|
78:06 | , sorry, the solid line I to say that's the deflection of the |
|
78:11 | sphere. Next term in this um . If we're gonna take a look |
|
78:18 | now is Q. X. X. Is the load. So |
|
78:25 | mountain range of volcano. And the is described as a function of |
|
78:32 | So the load could be um you , I'm gonna sketch it in |
|
78:36 | Maybe a large system of volcanoes for , it's a function of X. |
|
78:44 | then it has this term here. m minus roll film. So romans |
|
78:56 | M sense for mental and Phil stands everything that could fill in this space |
|
79:04 | . So there could be sediments. Mother and G again is gravitational |
|
79:14 | Just that we saw before. Reputational . So what does this mean |
|
79:25 | This term here means um if you a load on the the little tree |
|
79:31 | the crust like that, that um plate is not gonna fall into the |
|
79:39 | , below the mantle, below the fears pushing back right? And so |
|
79:43 | kind of we call can call it restoring force and this restoring force is |
|
79:49 | on the density difference between the material and and how we feel in the |
|
79:57 | basis. Q. Here was the acting on the plate, vertical |
|
80:03 | And then w again is the deflection the plate. Now there's one term |
|
80:08 | the left here. One parameter that haven't talked about yet. And that |
|
80:14 | the and I'm going to talk about much more. So here's the equation |
|
80:19 | , d here is called what we the rigidity of the plate. The |
|
80:27 | rigidity of the plate. That is to reflection. If you have a |
|
80:33 | strong called elastic plate it is going be very resistant to the formation. |
|
80:40 | you have a much thinner warmer elastic and you put a load on |
|
80:44 | it's going to be for much more . That is described by this |
|
80:48 | D. So d. Again, rigidity and the consists of several um |
|
80:55 | You know the several components that are that are gonna go in this lecture |
|
81:00 | of the plate. The first one capital. E. And is the |
|
81:05 | smart Alice. The second one is person's ratio. So young small delis |
|
81:11 | persons racial go in there. And we also have a term called |
|
81:17 | H. To the power three. that is the sickness of the elastic |
|
81:21 | . So again Young's model is and ratio. And the sickness of the |
|
81:26 | plate. Well the young list and . They are. And you remember |
|
81:33 | remember that from a different class. are often called the elastic parameters. |
|
81:44 | they tell you something about how how elastic plate response to a load. |
|
81:53 | it's called elastic parameters. Young small and prosperous racial questions so far |
|
82:05 | So you see here this relationship between flexion rigidity of a plate and the |
|
82:12 | of the plate actually two to the three. So what does this |
|
82:16 | This means that if we're dealing with thick elastic plate that this thick elastic |
|
82:23 | is gonna be very rigid. Very very resistant to deformation. On the |
|
82:31 | hand, when we're sitting when we're with a sin elastic plate hot plate |
|
82:37 | that point in time. H here small and we're dealing with a plate |
|
82:41 | low rigidity to deformation. So this will reform more easily. So if |
|
82:46 | gonna load that sick plate and the plate with a volcano, we see |
|
82:53 | the sick plate, words to write start to deform. But the information |
|
82:57 | difficult. So in practice that means there's a little bit of bending but |
|
83:04 | a much larger area. You see and in the case of the thin |
|
83:10 | here towards the left, you see there's gonna be a lot of bending |
|
83:16 | over a much smaller area. Yeah sick plates will result in deformation over |
|
83:25 | large area. So the wavelength slapped of the deformation is gonna be |
|
83:31 | Thin plates is gonna be deformation over much smaller area. So the wavelength |
|
83:38 | out of the deformation is going to much smaller. But you also see |
|
83:43 | if your plate is richard, if elastic plate thicknesses, high plate is |
|
83:48 | on the plate is richard that you you your deformation as a much smaller |
|
83:55 | . You see that in this particular you're deformation has a much larger |
|
84:02 | So there's a difference between these two that is actually really important for for |
|
84:08 | basins and more about this in a bit. Okay, so Q. |
|
84:13 | . Is the loads downward force per downwards force per unit area? It |
|
84:23 | the thickness of the elastic plates role the density of the mental and refills |
|
84:29 | density of the inflow material. So are our settlements that go into the |
|
84:33 | basin? So flex your resistance flex your rigidity again, is the |
|
84:40 | to bending? This is described by parameter D Right, so how thick |
|
84:49 | the elastic little sphere? This is on where we are on earth. |
|
84:55 | the elastic little sphere thickness or elastic sickness, we appreciate. So here |
|
85:02 | cold age. In other studies, may see it abbreviated to E E |
|
85:08 | . Effective elastic thickness of the little , or for example to T. |
|
85:14 | . The effective effective thickness plate thickness the little sphere. So all three |
|
85:20 | you can find in um in different . All right, so how's the |
|
85:31 | sphere? Um This is an older that I'm showing you here of an |
|
85:37 | study in which the thickness of the little fear of europe was being calculated |
|
85:43 | you see it on the map towards right. So the colors give you |
|
85:47 | idea of the thickness and here the elastic thickness is appreciated with capital |
|
85:54 | And then on the score E Now a look everywhere where we had these |
|
86:01 | crate, als in europe. So the the the eastern side especially we |
|
86:06 | that the effective effective elastic thickness is like 70 kilometers and up In other |
|
86:14 | in Europe where there has been more deformation. Recently we see that the |
|
86:19 | of plate thickness can be as little 10 km or sometimes even smaller than |
|
86:25 | . And that is especially the case and also here in the Mediterranean. |
|
86:32 | that gives you a pretty good idea how the plates thickness varies from place |
|
86:37 | place and how quickly it may vary place to place. Questions so |
|
86:45 | No ma'am. All right then, move on here. I'm showing you |
|
86:51 | fixture and map of the earth in scientists have plotted the effective plate thickness |
|
86:57 | they've calculated for the different continents. what you see on this map in |
|
87:02 | blue blue colors here indicates the thick that we find that thick elastic little |
|
87:10 | . There we are, where we in Accra tonic, old central portions |
|
87:14 | the continents. So this part of here in northern America, the core |
|
87:20 | south America and much of the core europe and some of the core of |
|
87:27 | . Also, what you can see that the is that the elastic thickness |
|
87:31 | much smaller in places where we have lot of tectonics going on the western |
|
87:36 | . S. For example the mediterranean , big chunks of asia. Alright |
|
87:49 | this is really important to remember. that's why I'm listening as here thick |
|
87:54 | plates corresponds to old tectonic provinces on . So called sick little sphere of |
|
88:00 | continent's sin elastic plates corresponds to younger provinces. On earth rift zones for |
|
88:08 | in young mountain range. So make that you remember this. Okay right |
|
88:16 | your rigidity. The we saw that is the equation for the Flexeril rigidity |
|
88:21 | the elastic plate. So it gives an idea of how easy it is |
|
88:25 | the place to deform larger rigidity means rigid resistant to the information. Smaller |
|
88:33 | means more easily deformed the question to . So I think you would understand |
|
88:40 | that this lecture rigidity varies from place place on earth, correct? How |
|
88:46 | does it ferry? And why does vary from place to place on |
|
88:57 | Um Different temperatures and brittle and ductile . Yeah different temperatures, different |
|
89:05 | Whatever else is going on changes that next question, elasticity also contribute to |
|
89:16 | change in the originality. They're directly . Right? If you have a |
|
89:22 | elastic plate, your age is large your flexion, rigidity will be |
|
89:29 | So they're directly related. Yeah. good points. Yeah. So question |
|
89:34 | expect your rigidity change over time. . I would think so what needs |
|
89:45 | change for it to change? So the right answer. What needs to |
|
89:51 | . Um Well like we mentioned temperature and depth. I feel like those |
|
89:58 | change exactly. They can change. . Yeah. So if an original |
|
90:04 | tectonic lee active or starts to rift a mental plume comes up, everything |
|
90:11 | will change that. Yeah. Alright. Let's go to the foreland |
|
90:17 | . We have now enough background information start talking about these basins. So |
|
90:23 | give it a start. Alright. picture you may have seen in your |
|
90:27 | program at one point in time. are we looking at here? We're |
|
90:31 | at sub ducting oceanic atmosphere. It's from here down. So subjecting oceanic |
|
90:37 | and this oceanic atmosphere is dragging with , a continent that we see here |
|
90:43 | the other side of the subscription zone the collision zone. We also have |
|
90:47 | continent towards the right now our two collide which you know if you're gonna |
|
90:53 | then collision or mountains or mountain range the Himalayas are an example of |
|
90:59 | Yeah, so coalitional mountain range, collision of mountain range that they form |
|
91:04 | crust for is substantially you can see here they form these thrust. There's |
|
91:09 | lot of information going on the crist sickened, right? You can see |
|
91:14 | here, high topography, if you into the deeper into the little |
|
91:18 | you see that there's crystal thickening at base as well. So we're now |
|
91:22 | with a thick crisp and all It's gonna act as a load on |
|
91:30 | little sphere. So now we know gonna happen when we have a load |
|
91:36 | on the latest fear, what is little sphere going to do? Um |
|
91:44 | gonna dip school and band, Yeah. So, on the influence |
|
91:51 | this load, this little bit of will start to bend. It's not |
|
91:55 | shown here in the figure clearly, it will happen. So this |
|
92:02 | there will be a depression here that be filled up with sediments and the |
|
92:07 | on this side here. You see . So, in practice, what |
|
92:12 | means is that we're gonna form a on this side of the mountain range |
|
92:17 | we're gonna form a basin on that of the mountain range and these for |
|
92:22 | basins that are formed here, they called Flexeril basins. And because there |
|
92:30 | located what you see here next to fault, first belt, we call |
|
92:36 | foreland basins there in the four lands that fault. First belt, in |
|
92:40 | four lands of that mountain range. , not important for this class, |
|
92:46 | you may see it in the literature one point in time, is whether |
|
92:50 | foreland basin is located on this side the mountain range or that side of |
|
92:54 | mountain range, it matters in the , they have different names. |
|
92:58 | if the foreland basin, if you're at the foreland basin that is located |
|
93:03 | the plate that is going down, call it a peripheral foreland basin. |
|
93:09 | you're foreland basin, if you're looking the foreland basin that is located on |
|
93:13 | plate that is not going down, it is on top of the upper |
|
93:16 | . We call it a retro arc basin. So peripheral foreland basin and |
|
93:21 | arc foreland basin. So for the this course it doesn't matter and you |
|
93:28 | need to know those words, but just want to give it to you |
|
93:30 | case you need it at some point time. Okay, so in this |
|
93:35 | case we're gonna have a foreland basin and we're gonna have a foreland basin |
|
93:43 | . So it's the peripheral one which the like facing towards however, his |
|
93:50 | is the at the back of the of the point of view and the |
|
93:55 | of the starting. Yeah, let tell you if that's a really good |
|
93:59 | So I have to say sometimes in a little bit confused on who names |
|
94:04 | and why? So what I So that's a really good question. |
|
94:09 | . So what I understand is um it says Mark. Right? So |
|
94:16 | we have all the little sphere. this case of India, although she |
|
94:20 | get sphere subjected under the to it's it's a collision, it's a continent |
|
94:33 | closure instead of oceanic crust subduction beneath continent where you would have a four |
|
94:38 | in a four land with a you have continent on both sides. |
|
94:45 | yeah, so the retro rock for is over the slab as as with |
|
94:51 | subduction and the peripheral for land is the four arc would be if this |
|
94:57 | oceanic plate. That's correct. So was gonna explain the word ark. |
|
95:05 | the words are comes here from magmatic . So this used to be a |
|
95:09 | zone with oceanic little sphere, you the melting here, the magma moves |
|
95:13 | and you would form these volcanoes Right? The volcanic arc. So |
|
95:18 | one that's one that's that explains part that name. It's on the side |
|
95:24 | when this used to be a subduction , that arc used to be |
|
95:29 | Thank you. So deals explanation is correct. And um I don't |
|
95:35 | there's many terms, this is another . It doesn't matter for the physics |
|
95:41 | us much. It could, it a little bit, but not not |
|
95:45 | for us to um to really be about. It's not really standardized. |
|
95:50 | right, I mean, but typically when it's ocean continent, it's always |
|
95:57 | subduction. And you know, you for but when it's a continent continent |
|
96:03 | , they always call it a I mean it's quite, I don't |
|
96:06 | always but it's it seems to be terminology that people use, I |
|
96:12 | Yeah, correct. So exactly. this at the moment that you have |
|
96:18 | continent here and the continent there, call it a continent continent collision zone |
|
96:24 | in time when you had oceanic little going down, you called it a |
|
96:29 | zone. So for us, what now is that at this point in |
|
96:34 | we have this large mountain range. is a huge load on the little |
|
96:40 | on the cursed. And as a of that, we're gonna have that |
|
96:43 | bending. Right? We're gonna form , flexible basins that are called foreland |
|
96:51 | . Right? So this is communicate place that we were just looking at |
|
96:59 | . The 4th first belt here and on both sides we form a foreland |
|
97:07 | . We've seen this already. We've this already. So, what I'm |
|
97:12 | here is a detailed, more detailed section through such a foreland basin. |
|
97:19 | of all, we go back and you where the cross section is. |
|
97:23 | , this looks better. Alright, section, It's from around here to |
|
97:36 | Yeah, this part is gonna be a vertical cross section through. This |
|
97:42 | is gonna be shown on this So let's go here. Here we |
|
97:47 | . Towards the left is the Fox belt that could be the Himalayas towards |
|
97:55 | right is the plate interior in between where the foreland basin forms. Now |
|
98:06 | foreland basin is not simple, not simple, like what I drew |
|
98:12 | Right? It's not, you here's your load. Well, this |
|
98:15 | the foreland basin, there's of course more structure related to that and that |
|
98:19 | shown here is commodity. So let's a look at this. This part |
|
98:25 | this year is sediment infill of the basin. Little bit delayed. This |
|
98:35 | is the deepest part of the Foreign troops and it's called the four |
|
98:41 | The four deep is what you in terms when you would sketch it, |
|
98:46 | would call that your foreland basin. the four deep. It's the deepest |
|
98:50 | of the foreland basin. Towards the of that. We have an area |
|
98:56 | we call the four books. So this was 1/4 order differential equation where |
|
99:02 | have a deep basin where the load then a little bit of a |
|
99:08 | that's the four books. And then have a little bit of a depression |
|
99:13 | , which is, sorry, which the back branch there. So for |
|
99:20 | , for butch and back broach the deep, that is the real, |
|
99:25 | deep sedimentary basin and the sedimentary basin be kilometers deep. So you can |
|
99:31 | have five km of sediments there just give you an idea. Yes, |
|
99:36 | rather deep basins the next to it four built that is, that is |
|
99:42 | up a little bit, but that not much. Four boetsch could be |
|
99:48 | m per, So keeps doing Yeah, so four boats could be |
|
99:55 | m high. The back boot is smaller than that in in amplitudes, |
|
100:01 | may be only 10 m deep or now towards the left, we have |
|
100:07 | wedge top and the wedge top that part of the basin that is located |
|
100:15 | the toe of that false first So that faults are spelled as you |
|
100:20 | continent continent collision at fault for spelled to grow and it grows sight words |
|
100:25 | it has these two, those that moving forward on top of those |
|
100:30 | A wedge top basin could form so the wedge top, the four |
|
100:36 | the four broach and the back Together you call that a foreland basin |
|
100:41 | . Now from the left of this towards the right of this figure, |
|
100:46 | whole system is easily 500 km or , depends of course on how strong |
|
100:52 | plate, is but that would be very normal um very normal width of |
|
100:59 | foreland basin. Yes. So the deep, five km deep, seven |
|
101:05 | deep, something like that. good size basins. The four broach |
|
101:11 | small, the back broach is almost existent. Where do the sediments come |
|
101:19 | that end up in this foreland basin ? On the register of the four |
|
101:24 | and the four votes where do these come from? They are from the |
|
101:30 | of the rocks and through the mountains the rivers they just transport correct. |
|
101:37 | which rocks weather here sedimentary rooms? , possible happening from the fold. |
|
101:50 | Yeah, most sediments will come from . The false first belt. |
|
101:57 | Because the false first belt is gonna up and bigger think about the ALps |
|
102:02 | europe, the Himalayas. That's going become a large mountain range and then |
|
102:08 | will occur, erosion will occur, will be transported towards that foreland basin |
|
102:14 | that's where they end up. Sometimes foreign and basins may also receive sediments |
|
102:20 | the other side of the system. from the right there, oops from |
|
102:26 | right the back broach area or beyond back porch area. And what we'll |
|
102:31 | is that sometimes these foreland basins are on the water so they can be |
|
102:38 | under basically in the sea marine And then of course you may also |
|
102:44 | marine sediments Shiels um you know marine etcetera. L Gay that rained down |
|
102:51 | come to the ocean floor. So may happen as well. All |
|
102:58 | So what I've sketched here very is the same situation towards the |
|
103:04 | We have the loads which is the thrust spells. Then you can see |
|
103:07 | plate that is being formed. We a thick sediment infill in the yellow |
|
103:13 | towards the left and we have a bit of a bush. Now, |
|
103:19 | going on, for example, in case of India which is still colliding |
|
103:24 | Asia. Is that this full thrust is still growing and when it's growing |
|
103:30 | grows towards the right here in this . So this would be India India |
|
103:42 | still moving in the northwest direction towards . Yeah, so this system continues |
|
103:50 | provide its continues to converge and as result of that this load will continue |
|
103:58 | grow. It will move towards the with respect to the to the indian |
|
104:04 | and this entire foreland basin system will towards the right as well. And |
|
104:12 | sounds maybe a little bit vague but it's really important for the basin |
|
104:18 | and I'm gonna explain it to you after the break, what I suggest |
|
104:24 | that we have a short break 5 10 minutes or so and then we're |
|
104:28 | look at that aspect of foreign and . Okay, sounds good. |
|
104:34 | I'm gonna stop sharing and I'll see in a few minutes. Yes, |
|
104:43 | . Great. Right, So this where we ended our So because convergence |
|
104:49 | continues, we have a whole period geologic time in which this 4th 1st |
|
104:54 | starts continues to grow. So let's a look at the India example. |
|
105:00 | India starts, started in the right, and moved in a northward |
|
105:06 | and eventually started about 20 million years or so. I started to collide |
|
105:12 | Asia. Now, India is still northward. So this collision is still |
|
105:18 | as of today, it is still . So that means in practice if |
|
105:23 | are the Himalayas that are being formed a result of that collision and this |
|
105:27 | is India, it means it means practice that this full trust belt continues |
|
105:34 | grow and how these spells grow is form like a new, you know |
|
105:40 | here, if you know what I ? Yes, so they continue to |
|
105:45 | not only upwards but also outwards side . Now this means the following. |
|
105:51 | , let me go one back so take a look at the left side |
|
105:57 | that fault for spelled We have the here, the Himalayas, they act |
|
106:03 | a load on the indian plate. indian plate, the forms something like |
|
106:10 | . This here would be the foreland that is located here here. And |
|
106:17 | is the Himalayan foreland basin. So a Himalayan foreland basins, foreland basin |
|
106:27 | located on top of India, south the mountains here we have the brooch |
|
106:34 | little bit more about that later and here we have the back broach and |
|
106:38 | the formed continents. Now, if collision is ongoing and this plate continues |
|
106:46 | move northwards, which words to write this sketch with respect to Asia over |
|
106:53 | , it means that this fall first will continue to grow in that |
|
106:59 | So that means that this flexible we'll continue to move towards the left |
|
107:08 | this sketch or towards the south on . This will be the next time |
|
107:14 | . This will be a time step that. Does that make sense? |
|
107:19 | this deformation if we have a load and then we have a flexible for |
|
107:26 | from here. A broach here, both here and like that. This |
|
107:31 | here is sometimes called um the Flexeril . Yeah, so it's like the |
|
107:43 | the boots, the back boats, flexible waves. So if India continues |
|
107:48 | collide with asia and this 4th 1st continues to grow, this flex dual |
|
107:54 | will continue to move southwards in this . Right, So let's see what |
|
108:03 | means in practice. So what I've here is towards the left here, |
|
108:09 | load. So this could be the , could be whatever the rocky mountains |
|
108:15 | north America. What you see here that foreland basin very schematically shown right |
|
108:23 | deep. Here's the brooch and here that area or maybe even here would |
|
108:31 | the back boat. You can't really it here. Now again, this |
|
108:38 | basin here can be kilometers deep. brooch is maybe 100 m high or |
|
108:44 | . And then the back brooch is smaller than that. Now, what's |
|
108:50 | on this sketch is three points in foreland basin system. One here, |
|
108:55 | at the edge of the sedimentary one here basically on the back side |
|
109:00 | this bush and one here in, know somewhere where the continent is not |
|
109:06 | deformed. Now when this load continues grow and continues to grow in this |
|
109:14 | . So the 4th 1st belt of year continues to grow in that |
|
109:19 | Let's take a look at what happens points A. B. And |
|
109:23 | Over time. A. Here be . See there here there. So |
|
109:28 | gonna sketch that next for salt to time. And then we have three |
|
109:38 | to start with Point A. We out at sea level. So states |
|
109:44 | the on the formed continent. So A starts out here at sea |
|
109:50 | Now with time. This 4th 1st continues to low to grow and this |
|
109:56 | dual wave continues to move towards the . So what is the deformation uplift |
|
110:01 | subsidence is gonna look like in points over time. I'm not sure |
|
110:26 | And would you like to give it try? Yeah, I'm just thinking |
|
110:32 | was I'm not so sure right to A if this flexible ways move towards |
|
110:44 | right because the load continues to Point A will first become part of |
|
110:49 | for butch and then it will become of the deep basin, which you |
|
110:57 | The whole system moves towards the right .8. Okay, Right, so |
|
111:07 | a here will first become part of four broach and then it will become |
|
111:14 | of 40 basin. Let's take a at point B. So when this |
|
111:21 | flexible wavelength move towards the right, load move towards the right, what's |
|
111:25 | to happen at point B. Be like point she is. Yeah. |
|
111:36 | Point B would first become part of highest point of the boot, |
|
111:40 | It's now already at the beginning of book, it would become part of |
|
111:43 | highest part of the boot and then basin would move over it, so |
|
111:48 | it would become part of the So Point B. Is now located |
|
111:51 | little bit higher, it's already on beginning of the boot. So the |
|
111:57 | gonna move here be, this is be be, it's already a little |
|
112:02 | on the boot, so it's gonna at the top of the brooch and |
|
112:08 | it's gonna become part of the Does that make sense? Alright, |
|
112:13 | take a look at point C. would happen with point? See if |
|
112:17 | whole system moves towards the right. it would eventually be in the basin |
|
112:32 | ? Quincy is now located at sea . So let's put it there, |
|
112:40 | C. And if when you look , it becomes immediately part of the |
|
112:47 | . There we are. And then towards the left here, is |
|
112:51 | you know, the wedge top? it would become part of the wedge |
|
112:55 | ? We don't know, clear or . Um It's a little muddy for |
|
113:05 | . Yeah, it's a little bit . Alright, so where should we |
|
113:11 | it up here or earlier here, fine I guess, do you hate |
|
113:21 | ? Yeah, that'll work. so we're looking this foreland basin here |
|
113:29 | this one here doesn't matter. Looking one of these foreland basins. So |
|
113:34 | as compression continues collision continues this first belt continues to grow and as |
|
113:42 | false respect continues to grow, this continues to move underneath asia. |
|
113:50 | Right. So, point a here whatever, the number of the whatever |
|
113:57 | name of the point is, the here may at this moment be outside |
|
114:02 | the basin When this plate continues to towards the rights and this 4th first |
|
114:08 | continues to grow. .8 will first part of the four Belch, the |
|
114:15 | villages located somewhere there and then it become part of that deep sedimentary |
|
114:24 | Okay, I think maybe I was complicating it. Yeah, it's actually |
|
114:31 | story is very simple. So it just go into the basin area. |
|
114:39 | , not literally. Um it's you know, if we look at |
|
114:45 | a from a distance, it's not this material is eroding and an answer |
|
114:51 | the basin. It's like if we at this, this location on the |
|
114:55 | , what's gonna happen with that location the map. Right. So, |
|
115:03 | let's see if I could sketch it a different way. Here's the |
|
115:10 | the load is the mountain range and the flexible wavelength, the deformation associated |
|
115:16 | it when the load moves towards the with respect to this plate here. |
|
115:23 | next time step the load is going be here and this Flexeril deformation is |
|
115:30 | be there like this, That makes . Right. If the load moves |
|
115:37 | towards the right to here, then flexion of the information is going to |
|
115:41 | like that group. That was Yeah. So now at time |
|
115:50 | a point that is here on top the broach at time zero at some |
|
115:55 | time, that points will be located inside the basin and then some later |
|
116:03 | that point will be located in the basin. You see that same for |
|
116:08 | point here. The point now, point here is completely outside of the |
|
116:13 | . It's even not on the factual yet, but sometime later it will |
|
116:19 | gone upward on the flexible brooch. later it will be on the top |
|
116:24 | the flexion approach and sometime later it have entered the basin. Okay, |
|
116:30 | , I get it. Yeah, ahead. I'm sorry to interrupt. |
|
116:42 | I'm guessing the this is, I'm the reason to do this is that |
|
116:48 | deposition of sequences. You can just at those packages and see how they |
|
116:53 | the however the grade of the rocks the maybe un conformity and stuff. |
|
117:00 | can actually match those to these Yeah, exactly. The system is |
|
117:06 | simple because this here, where is broach topographic high in the landscape. |
|
117:14 | gonna happen? We're gonna erode it , It's gonna be eroded. So |
|
117:19 | book area here will show up in strata graphic column as an un |
|
117:26 | a missing a missing layer of it's not there because it's high |
|
117:32 | So you will see it back if drill a well stay here in the |
|
117:37 | basin, you drill a well and you can see if your well is |
|
117:42 | enough. You see basically this back it once um was part of this |
|
117:50 | . Do you know what I So you see in in the static |
|
117:55 | of the foreland basin, you see back? That's why we're doing |
|
118:04 | I'm gonna pass this for a So just to let it rest because |
|
118:08 | if we pick it up a second , it becomes more clear. So |
|
118:12 | there examples of like whatever strap columns show these patterns in them, then |
|
118:19 | of the stress columns of foreland basins these patterns? I guess that means |
|
118:29 | and its characteristic right? It's how one way you recognize that you're in |
|
118:33 | foreland basin. But let's let it for a few minutes and let's do |
|
118:40 | else in the meantime. So what gonna do, I'm gonna sketch for |
|
118:46 | . No, I'm not going to them and ask you to sketch a |
|
118:51 | basin subsided scourge of time, horizontal depths, vertical access past year presence |
|
119:03 | . So remember this morning, we at a subsidence curve for a cra |
|
119:10 | basin and it was slow remember It looked something like this. Now |
|
119:19 | we're gonna think about a subsidence curve a foreland basin to pick pick a |
|
119:27 | in a foreland basin and think about , you know, pick the deepest |
|
119:34 | layer in foreland basin. Think about that subsidence may have happened over |
|
119:44 | Slow fast, first fast and slow slow and fast. Any thoughts, |
|
120:12 | if there are no thoughts, I'm sketch it and then you can look |
|
120:16 | it and see if you can explain . All right, this is what |
|
120:19 | looks like. 1st. Slow then . Any bells ringing? Not |
|
120:50 | Look at the similarity between this curve And these three here. Mhm. |
|
120:59 | similar. Right, okay, let's back to a foreland basin. Let |
|
121:04 | think about if I can show I'm just gonna see if there's one |
|
121:09 | on that is clear. It doesn't like it's um Maybe I should go |
|
121:29 | . Um Let's go back. Oh let's let's go with this one |
|
121:48 | So think about how this basin was formed. We started off with a |
|
121:54 | crystal, right? And then and at one point in time a full |
|
122:00 | belt started to form. So maybe was like a thrust here. It |
|
122:04 | tiny. So that point in time meniscal basin starts to form here. |
|
122:13 | basin. There's not much loads, not many settlements. So subsidence minimum |
|
122:22 | spot starts to form larger, become , It builds up larger, A |
|
122:27 | note settlements. So what's gonna happen now this basin is rapidly going to |
|
122:40 | . No, so now we have deeper basin filled in with sediments. |
|
122:48 | full first belt builds up even We're now at the size of the |
|
122:52 | Mountains or the alps or the Himalayas we have a very serious rhone and |
|
123:01 | fairly high topography. High mountains produced sediments. So not only have we |
|
123:08 | the roads, we also have increased amount of sediments available to fill up |
|
123:13 | basin. So at this point in your vacation will be big and deep |
|
123:20 | filled up with sediments. So a related was deposited at the first formed |
|
123:28 | . It may now be here deep this sedimentary basin. So when it |
|
123:34 | formed, we said wasn't much there wasn't much, you know, |
|
123:40 | of the plate. Not many sediments wasn't very fast. But as this |
|
123:46 | started to build up, you grow weights, the loads on the plate |
|
123:51 | . You should produce more settlements. ? Much more settlements are being produced |
|
123:56 | a mountain range than from a little . So now you you you get |
|
124:01 | acceleration of the subsidence of the the foreland basin. So if you |
|
124:07 | at that over time, let me it here. So time, horizontal |
|
124:15 | depths or vertical access. You see subsidence slow when this falls were spelled |
|
124:25 | start to form not much weight. many sentiments subsidence is slow and in |
|
124:31 | course of time as the faults were builds up more eventually, subsidence |
|
124:39 | There's a huge loads. There's a of flexible information of the place. |
|
124:44 | there's a huge volume of sediments that up the basin and flexes. Everything |
|
124:50 | everything down even more. So that that what gives you that characteristic shape |
|
124:56 | a subsidence curve for a foreland But would that make sense or |
|
125:06 | Absolutely. All right, okay. I have a little bit of free |
|
125:11 | here. So let's check these two curves that we've looked at so far |
|
125:18 | let's put them on um one and one and the same curve. So |
|
125:23 | son to access this time passes towards left present days towards the right vertical |
|
125:30 | is depth or z. Now we looked at this photonic basins, their |
|
125:35 | lift. There's a tiny bit of . They do something like that. |
|
125:39 | compared to that. These foreland basins deep from fast. So they look |
|
125:46 | something like this that will be a basin. So, you see it's |
|
125:52 | huge difference. It's deeper. It's , much faster subsidence over a shorter |
|
125:57 | of time. This is how the compare. So you could see if |
|
126:02 | would give you such a subsidence You would be able to say this |
|
126:07 | a foreign land base and probably and is probably a a platonic basin. |
|
126:13 | see that the difference is really Yes, ma'am. Right. Let |
|
126:21 | see if we can go back to . Or let me see what comes |
|
126:29 | . I'll first talk about some other and then we can see if we |
|
126:32 | go back to the same place Um so it's now 3.30. So |
|
126:39 | have an hour and a half left thinking because we're running out of |
|
126:45 | which is okay. Um Now let's a couple of things I wanna |
|
126:53 | So if you're your plate sickness, elastic plate sickness is sin. You |
|
127:03 | form a foreign land basin that is and deep. So here's the lows |
|
127:09 | mountains of the loads. I'm gonna it. Your foreign invasion will be |
|
127:18 | , narrow and sin. So if is your foreign land basin, they're |
|
127:23 | in deep. Sorry, this is it is narrow. Deep foreland |
|
127:33 | Now, if you have exactly the load but your elastic plate sickness is |
|
127:42 | large. You have a thick elastic with exactly the same loads. You |
|
127:47 | form a foreign land basin that is but much shallower. In other |
|
128:06 | you could call this a wavelength Oops, you could call so the |
|
128:15 | of the factual deformation is much larger your plate sick elastic plate is |
|
128:23 | The manual realistic plate is thin. could call this a wavelengths. You |
|
128:27 | that from the brooch to the edge the load. You could call that |
|
128:30 | wavelength of the actual information towards the as well from the brooch to the |
|
128:35 | of the load will be a the wavelength of the factual information. |
|
128:40 | this makes sense. Sin elastic narrow deep foreland basin, thick, |
|
128:46 | plate, white and shallow foreland Yes. All right, great. |
|
128:53 | let's take a look here at foreland of the Himalayas. So this is |
|
128:57 | the lotus, right? The Himalayas right here. This is the Malayan |
|
129:02 | basin and the Himalayan foreland basin is just south. Exactly south of that |
|
129:10 | were spelled Now what you can see nicely in this map of India is |
|
129:16 | following here again in the north. is the load. Right the Himalayas |
|
129:20 | are loading on top of the indian . And here we have the indian |
|
129:25 | foreland basin around that area may be a little bit more towards the |
|
129:31 | but doesn't really matter Now. You also see very nicely on this map |
|
129:37 | the location of the four Belch and just gonna point it out to you |
|
129:45 | the reason you can see it is because you see high topography. Remember |
|
129:50 | though this Himalayan foreland basin maybe kilometers , the four votes was only maybe |
|
129:56 | m high or so. So you even see it on a topographic map |
|
130:01 | this. But you know how you find this because the river's flow towards |
|
130:07 | sides of this four Bush. So in the north we have the Ganges |
|
130:12 | coming down. And this can this , as you see, does not |
|
130:16 | south. You see that it finds way towards the right here, towards |
|
130:20 | east. Here, on the left , we have the Indus River. |
|
130:25 | Indus River is not going to go south. It's not doing that. |
|
130:31 | finding its way around this path and enters the ocean, the Arabian sea |
|
130:37 | there. So, in other those two river systems, they do |
|
130:41 | go over this area here and this here and this to some extent is |
|
130:47 | little bit higher elevation. And you see it because it looks different on |
|
130:51 | map. But what you see is these river systems can't cross it. |
|
130:56 | then you have other rivers here that off it and float towards the |
|
131:00 | So we have nothing that crosses this or this area. You see that |
|
131:06 | that is because this is the four . This is a region that is |
|
131:11 | a tiny bit elevated and it separates rivers towards the north from the rivers |
|
131:18 | the south. So it's it's even though you can't see really see |
|
131:24 | on a topographic map, but it affected in the course of millions of |
|
131:29 | , the flows of these river So that just gives you an idea |
|
131:36 | the size of this foreland basin Right, foreland basin is gigantic. |
|
131:41 | four brooch is almost halfway the indian . This is a huge system. |
|
131:50 | right, let's take a look at figure here. This figure here is |
|
131:53 | the Allen and Allen book. It's looking at the Himalayan foreland basin, |
|
131:58 | this is an ice a pac So what is an ice pack |
|
132:02 | What are we looking at? If looking at an ice APAC map, |
|
132:11 | ? Nope, almost looks like but it isn't a temperature. |
|
132:20 | layer thickness, sedimentary layer thickness. , take a look at this where |
|
132:26 | says six year, it means six , five will be five kilometers |
|
132:32 | So in other words, in the portion of the Himalayan foreland basin, |
|
132:37 | have 56 kilometers of sediments and then the south, you see the sediment |
|
132:44 | going down to about two kilometers maybe one kilometer here and zero somewhere |
|
132:51 | . You see that. So, is if you would draw a transect |
|
132:55 | this through this system, we call north, we call this south. |
|
133:00 | draw the transect north south in the . This is where we have the |
|
133:06 | there right here. Then you can here we have very thick sediment |
|
133:14 | So deep foreland basin and then we for the south and the thickness of |
|
133:18 | sediment package decreases. You see So let's sketch that in this is |
|
133:25 | it looks like. Deep basin in north and a shallower basin going |
|
133:32 | And then here somewhere here is that that is basically not visible. But |
|
133:37 | is there, Does that make sense no? Sounds like it doesn't make |
|
133:50 | sense. I feel like I followed . Good leo. Did you follow |
|
134:02 | ? I'm I'm good macon, are good? Yeah, I think I |
|
134:10 | got the powerful food. Can you ones to just make sure that what's |
|
134:15 | my head is right, here's the , here are the Himalayas, this |
|
134:21 | the mountain range, here's the south a vertical transect through this foreign land |
|
134:30 | . North south here at the you see in the north there's very |
|
134:39 | package of settlement, six kilometers up to six kilometers thick. Some |
|
134:44 | places even more towards the south, settlement package is much thinner, maybe |
|
134:49 | two kilometers or so, so that what I'm gonna sketch in this cross |
|
134:53 | . Here's the north, the Himalayas sediment package, maybe this is 56 |
|
135:00 | or so. And then further the sediment package Peters out. You |
|
135:05 | that here, it's only two km so, and then here it's |
|
135:11 | That's all. Okay, so you that these foreign land bases are very |
|
135:21 | . You see that one side is deeper than on the other side. |
|
135:25 | always the case. There's always this . It's unbelievable asymmetric. Thank |
|
135:34 | Let's go to the next slide. talked about it before and we're gonna |
|
135:40 | it for now. And I'm gonna a little bit about the sediments that |
|
135:45 | in these um foreland basin systems. right. So, you've seen this |
|
135:52 | this figure before towards the left is 4th, 1st belt, and then |
|
135:56 | the right with the foreland basin The wedge top, the four did |
|
136:00 | four boats and the backbone first. look at the wedge top. So |
|
136:05 | gonna take a look at now where sediments come from and what this looks |
|
136:09 | in detail. So here on top this wedge, small basins may form |
|
136:15 | bases may be connected, they may separated or isolated. We call them |
|
136:20 | top basins or piggyback basins. the four deep is are the deepest |
|
136:28 | in a foreland basin system. This the deep basin. What we saw |
|
136:32 | the Himalayas, that could be like km deep or so. The four |
|
136:37 | can also be a basin. So only sketched it as a brooch that |
|
136:42 | sticking up above the continent, which see in India. But you can |
|
136:47 | that the whole system has much lower and that the four bolts could be |
|
136:52 | and settlements could be deposited there as and then we have the back toes |
|
136:57 | the back boat is tiny. You can't see it but may have some |
|
137:03 | . So there's some sediments that may up in your back push. All |
|
137:09 | , This is the simple 40 that sketched earlier. The fall first felt |
|
137:13 | , towards the left and the simple . The symmetry of the fault first |
|
137:19 | the symmetry of the foreign and And then here the boats. You |
|
137:24 | that right, That 40 is usually that simple. Um so, we're |
|
137:32 | it simple because it makes life easy , but in real life it's often |
|
137:36 | more complex. And you can see two examples of how it may look |
|
137:40 | more realistically towards the left is again 4th 1st belt. And the yellow |
|
137:46 | shows you the sediments that fill in basin. So the upper figure shows |
|
137:51 | a 40 basin. That is much complex. It has like trust um |
|
137:57 | somewhere in that base. You don't see it, but you see that |
|
138:01 | makes the structure much more complex Towards bottom here. A number. See |
|
138:06 | can see that the 40 basin is . It's almost partitions into two parts |
|
138:12 | out of parts and an inner And so that is also much more |
|
138:17 | than that I showed you before. , again, where do the sediments |
|
138:22 | from that end up in this 40 ? The tectonics from the left. |
|
138:34 | . Almost all coming from the mountains . These sediments, they will end |
|
138:39 | here again. Sometimes you may find sediments that come from the, you |
|
138:44 | , the other side of it, most will come from the, from |
|
138:48 | mountain range. Yeah, excellent. , let's take a look at these |
|
138:53 | stock basins. So the vegetable basins the ones that are here, |
|
138:57 | really on top of the toe of 4th 1st bounce here. They |
|
139:02 | Sometimes we call them piggyback basins. these piggyback basins there often completely isolated |
|
139:09 | each other. Easy that so they their own little, you know, |
|
139:14 | history and they may be separated from next one down the road sediments for |
|
139:22 | spiky back basins also crumb from the trist system itself. So they come |
|
139:27 | the mountain range and are transported in . Um But this figure shows is |
|
139:36 | you look at the foreland basin often not, you know, the |
|
139:41 | almost horizontal layers of sediments right that been sketching so far. But often |
|
139:45 | a lot of the information in that basin itself and that is what you |
|
139:50 | see here. So here you can sedimentary ladies that have been deformed |
|
139:56 | You can also see a lot of , but earlier on in time, |
|
140:04 | see, I want to show you foreland basin, the Persian gulf. |
|
140:08 | , the Persian gulf is also a land basin. Now, Persian gulf |
|
140:13 | because the sack rose mountains that are here um and are in those mountains |
|
140:21 | as a load on the plate So as a result of the loads |
|
140:26 | this mountain range here we formed the basin. The foreland basin is basically |
|
140:31 | here in this area. There we . Now, when you look at |
|
140:40 | foreland basin, you see that the and southern part are covered with a |
|
140:45 | of water. You see that this the Persian gulf, so it's a |
|
140:49 | environments. The northern part is completely up with sediments. We see this |
|
140:56 | in foreland basins so often when you a foreland basin, when it starts |
|
141:01 | form to form, we have, just sketch that you have a |
|
141:06 | you know, your your false response to form, there's a little bit |
|
141:10 | subsidence and the sediments that are available fill up your foreland basin. It's |
|
141:16 | very limited Now then your for your respects continues to grow. Now the |
|
141:23 | basin deepened significantly more sediments are available fill up your fourth, your |
|
141:30 | 1st, sorry, going for your 1st belt and filling up your foreland |
|
141:35 | , but still, there may not enough sediments available to fill it up |
|
141:40 | later on then that's that 4th 1st is completely developed and there's now a |
|
141:45 | of erosion going on a lot of available at this point of time. |
|
141:51 | may start to completely fill up your and basin and that is what you |
|
141:56 | here in the northern portion of the . There are so many sediments available |
|
142:00 | is completely filled up the space in central and southern portion of the Persian |
|
142:07 | . There are not enough sediments available fill up the space and you still |
|
142:11 | a water layer as you see So this evolution is very typical for |
|
142:18 | basins. So we often start off something like this marine environment. So |
|
142:24 | have to be positioned maybe of shields other marine sedimentary rocks. Then over |
|
142:32 | as the fault first felt the focus and more sediments are becoming available, |
|
142:38 | start to fill this basin up. you may start out with a marine |
|
142:46 | . That is rather the the person is a rather deep ocean but a |
|
142:52 | . I have to say. And later on if you have more settlements |
|
142:56 | to fill up that that's basin, go to shallow marine sediments and then |
|
143:07 | when enough sediments are available to fill this this system completely, you may |
|
143:12 | to flu fuel systems for example. terrestrial environment, you see that so |
|
143:19 | um foreland basins, it's completely normal them to go from deep marine, |
|
143:25 | shallow marine to terrestrial of flu feel the normal um sequence of defense. |
|
143:33 | the deep marine shallow marine sediments, may be very organic rich, so |
|
143:38 | can form great um source rocks. then because of all this ongoing deformation |
|
143:46 | may take place in this foreland you can imagine that later on with |
|
143:52 | or fluffy oh, sediments you will excellent reservoir rocks and you will form |
|
143:57 | whole series of trips, you know these these sedimentary layers are deforming. |
|
144:02 | there will be many trips available in sedimentary basin. So that is why |
|
144:07 | lot of these foreland basins, the that we find for example towards the |
|
144:12 | of the rockies, the D. . Basin um foreland basins like that |
|
144:17 | the one here, the Persian gulf basin. A lot of these foreland |
|
144:22 | , they are um they have fantastic petroleum systems developed and they are used |
|
144:28 | exploration and production. So that explains we're interested in these foreland basins. |
|
144:36 | questions about this? No. All . I'm just gonna quickly go towards |
|
144:44 | end. Yeah. So what I like to do is so I've run |
|
144:52 | of time just let you to be with you um which is not a |
|
144:58 | . Um But what I would like do is see if we can go |
|
145:02 | one more time to this moving foreland system, migrating foreland basin system and |
|
145:09 | you know, the uplift and subside conformity is that go with that. |
|
145:14 | what I will suggest is that we a short break again 10 minutes or |
|
145:19 | then I'll try to explain that. after that the next thing on our |
|
145:26 | would be a um an exercise that a foreland basin exercise. And all |
|
145:33 | things that we've talked about today. flexion rigidity, effective elastic thickness. |
|
145:40 | And a figure as you see come back in that exercise. And |
|
145:44 | think we probably don't have time for anymore today. And so what we |
|
145:49 | do is just, you know, take it home, you look at |
|
145:51 | this week and then we discuss it weekend um on Friday. Yeah. |
|
145:57 | let's have a short um 5 to minutes break or so and then we'll |
|
146:04 | for the last hour of this Yes, ma'am. Already see you |
|
146:10 | a few minutes. Let's wait for and deal Oh right there. |
|
146:36 | Let's give it another try. And so what I'm gonna start with is |
|
146:46 | the left. So you can so if I do this, you |
|
146:51 | , it's a false respect, This is false rust belt. It |
|
146:55 | , whoops. It doesn't look Um there we are 4th first |
|
147:04 | but it's just it's the idea. then um towards the rights, we |
|
147:15 | the continent. So here's a And what we're going to assume is |
|
147:25 | here's north. This is this is and the continent is India in India |
|
147:34 | still moving northwards like that. So the moment we have um sexual information |
|
147:46 | . This is about what it looks . So we have here our Himalayan |
|
147:50 | that basin Now as India continues to with asia. This fourth wrist belt |
|
147:58 | continue to develop. So it will , it grew up and it grows |
|
148:05 | sideways. In the meantime, the continent slides underneath the Himalayas. So |
|
148:14 | continuous convergence. This moves in this . This fortress spelled growth growth. |
|
148:20 | is what's going on. So maybe five million years from now points that |
|
148:26 | here on the continent has now moved it's like here. Does that make |
|
148:36 | if this is the 4th response was little mark you made supposed to be |
|
148:48 | point in time? No point on continent. Okay, so name city |
|
148:56 | India which is in the center of continent. Let's find a reference |
|
149:02 | I would say it's in the middle the B E T H or |
|
149:13 | Okay, so this is where bobo today in five million years. They'll |
|
149:20 | here because the indian plate has moved the northward. So five million years |
|
149:27 | that Popo, hold on, I to remove my screen is the first |
|
149:42 | this year is the foreland basin will here. Great Go pro in five |
|
149:51 | years maybe. Well here five million . It may be on the broach |
|
149:57 | fractal electoral brooch And in 10 million it may start to have entered the |
|
150:05 | may become part of the Himalayan foreland foreman's basin Right? five million years |
|
150:16 | debt we will find it if this the first bell, these are the |
|
150:24 | . Here's a foreland basin, It be here this location. So this |
|
150:40 | not abnormal. So we're using the of India moving into Asia because it |
|
150:46 | fast. Right? So there's a going on. But as these false |
|
150:49 | student systems develop, you see a of times that there's growth monstrous forms |
|
150:56 | the other etcetera. So this is like an abnormal situation now. So |
|
151:04 | what does this mean call today? um let's sketch it. Let's sketch |
|
151:13 | , horizontal access and then elevation or vertical axis. So today how is |
|
151:26 | a few 100 m above sea level million years from now. It will |
|
151:37 | on the broach 10 million years from it will have gone off the brooch |
|
151:44 | starts to be in the basin 15 years from now it will be in |
|
151:49 | basin. You see that that's what meant. Okay if you would have |
|
152:05 | a different reference points we would have same curve but we would switch it |
|
152:10 | the left or right closer or further from them basically from the Himalayan foreign |
|
152:15 | mason got it great. So I'm make a different sketch now. So |
|
152:31 | axis is time. The beginning for past is down here and the future |
|
152:41 | the present day is down is up . So time marches towards the top |
|
152:46 | this fiction and now the worst. access is basically an X axis and |
|
152:53 | shows us the distance from the thrust to some extent. So in the |
|
153:02 | , the first rounds, the ends the first phones may have been here |
|
153:07 | over the course of time, the funds may have moved outwards with respect |
|
153:14 | that other place. Say the indian like this. So this is the |
|
153:20 | front. Does this make sense? . So it comes closer to Bhopal |
|
153:33 | the course of time. Now, from the first phone. So next |
|
153:40 | the first phones here, this is you would find your sedimentary basin, |
|
153:45 | ? Your foreland basin. If the also access is some kind of distance |
|
153:55 | away further outward from the foreland you find the four boots, |
|
154:03 | Right. So let's sketch in the butch And the four built has a |
|
154:17 | width. And so maybe the four looks like this. And then on |
|
154:23 | other side we have the back but it does not doing much. |
|
154:26 | let's not let's not focus on Let's just focus on this part |
|
154:31 | So, if the first fall towards left, the sedimentary basin in the |
|
154:36 | and the four built towards the does this make sense so far? |
|
154:44 | . So now we're gonna march in forward. So, we're gonna start |
|
154:50 | at the beginning point when the full belt first started forming you start forming |
|
154:56 | thrust belt. Maybe there is first first it's not very thick, it's |
|
155:00 | a lot of extra loads on the , it's not very high. So |
|
155:06 | gonna form like a small depression and small depression, it's just there. |
|
155:13 | it's probably not even filtering with sediments there's not many sediments available. Then |
|
155:20 | time, your fault first belt starts grow is for more, more |
|
155:25 | they stick on top of each they grow outside works, you build |
|
155:28 | much bigger system at that point in , your sedimentary basin becomes a lot |
|
155:36 | . But hey, you're foreland basin a lot deeper because you have a |
|
155:39 | of loads. But you know, whole system of rivers that transport sediments |
|
155:45 | the mountains to the basin, it's really developed yet. There's not that |
|
155:50 | sediments available yet. So that's the . Then we move forward in time |
|
155:56 | now we see a really about developed thirst belts. There are, there's |
|
156:03 | lot of erosion, steep mountain a lot of sediments that are transported |
|
156:08 | the basin. So what does this like? Eventually, when we start |
|
156:13 | , we have a basin, it's very deep, but those are not |
|
156:17 | up with sediments. So probably a environment like the southeastern portion of the |
|
156:28 | , the Persian gulf, this thirst builds up that the basin deepens and |
|
156:35 | enter maybe even a deep marine Then at bottom point in time, |
|
156:43 | sediments are going to become available to up the basin. So they fill |
|
156:48 | the space and now we only have syn water layer layer left. So |
|
156:53 | call it shallow marine going forward, have enough settlements available to fill up |
|
157:01 | whole base and like in the northern gulf. So we enter maybe a |
|
157:07 | flu feel system in film of the . Does this make sense? Towards |
|
157:16 | right here, we still have the boat. But as this first front |
|
157:21 | off towards the right, so does four bolts. Right, Because this |
|
157:25 | flexible wave moves towards the right, let's draw two cross sections through this |
|
157:36 | . We're gonna start with one at point in time and then we're gonna |
|
157:44 | one in this point in time. the first one A is gonna be |
|
157:49 | we have a deep marine environment and is gonna be when we have the |
|
157:55 | and completely filled up. And maybe looking at fluffy ecosystems, fluffy |
|
158:00 | So let's first do a. So . We have a reasonably well developed |
|
158:06 | thrust system, Maybe something like We have a, you know, |
|
158:12 | deflection. We have a basin but this basin is not completely filled |
|
158:18 | with sediments. Maybe we only have here at a deeper part and then |
|
158:23 | have a fairly thick water layer, a kilometer or half a kilometer of |
|
158:28 | on top. So we have a deep marine setting. And then towards |
|
158:32 | right here we have a four So maybe this here is the four |
|
158:40 | , let's transact a then 26 B B. We have a really loud |
|
158:45 | . 4th 1st front, it has up and sideways, we now have |
|
158:54 | deep sedimentary basin really well the deep re basin, we have a four |
|
159:00 | and this deep sedimentary basin now is filled up with sediments at large |
|
159:08 | You still find those marine and marine and shallow marine sediments. So |
|
159:14 | , deep marine shallow marine sediments but most recent layer of sediments is flu |
|
159:20 | it's here flu feel. And then we still have that four broach and |
|
159:28 | four broach now has moved towards the because the whole system basically moved towards |
|
159:33 | right. Does this make sense? , so this here we call a |
|
159:41 | o strata graphic chart. This is grown up photographic chart which is very |
|
159:55 | of a foreland basin Now in it may be a couple of um details |
|
160:05 | that we haven't talked about yet. what you often see is when these |
|
160:09 | first belts form, that's um they through phases in which they may be |
|
160:17 | up higher topography than building out. so the shape of the four of |
|
160:23 | fortress spelled forms of reforms, it over time. They may be higher |
|
160:28 | maybe broader etcetera. So that means the load on that plate changes. |
|
160:34 | then the load on the plate What we see is that the shape |
|
160:38 | the foreland basin changes somewhat. you can imagine that if you build |
|
160:44 | a thrust front higher up, but don't power it up outwards as |
|
160:50 | Maybe with your foreign invasion is gonna , it's gonna tilt backwards a little |
|
160:55 | . Or you can also imagine that first front builds up more roots out |
|
161:00 | , not so much up but out your foreland basin starts to build the |
|
161:05 | direction a little bit. As a of that part of that foreland basin |
|
161:11 | be exposed, may be uplifted and would form an un conformity. So |
|
161:16 | this, you could maybe imagine that , you could form an un |
|
161:21 | You have a period of non deposition even erosion or later in you may |
|
161:28 | a nonconformity here. You see So there can be changes in that |
|
161:35 | basin system that you know details on it forms that may cause. Some |
|
161:41 | the foreland basins were uplifted, eroded reform and nonconformity. So, in |
|
161:46 | a grown up photographic charge, you also put in an un conformity and |
|
161:53 | is really a period of non Writer of erosion. So, you |
|
161:59 | see it basically as a blocked out you know a blocked out part of |
|
162:05 | strata. Graphic column. This basically a strata graphic column. Do you |
|
162:10 | it now. Okay, so this sense. Right. All right, |
|
162:21 | think we are now ready. I'm summarize this information. What we've learned |
|
162:29 | the foreland basis. Let's go over and summarize it and that. Then |
|
162:34 | I'm gonna do with the exercise um have it already. So we sent |
|
162:39 | last night, it's called I think called foreland basin exercise. So I'm |
|
162:45 | gonna give it to you to think and see if you can do it |
|
162:49 | the coming week and then friday the first thing we do, we |
|
162:53 | start going through that exercise together. , so I'm not gonna take up |
|
162:59 | time to exactly five, but I'm give you half an hour back of |
|
163:02 | time that you can spend on that . So sorry about taking taking up |
|
163:09 | than I planned to do. let's go over these foreland basins. |
|
163:21 | these are flexible basins, writes and about that. These are flexible |
|
163:28 | So these foreland basins, they form to the mountain range, right next |
|
163:33 | the fourth rust belt. So the often elongated like you see, for |
|
163:38 | with the Himalayas. And um let's about the width and the depth of |
|
163:45 | foreland basins. Now, we started whole story by looking at plates, |
|
163:52 | plates that can be sick or thin we had a thicker elastic plate. |
|
163:59 | just to give away for the The indian plate thickness is very |
|
164:05 | It's a thick elastic plate. So start out with these elastic plates and |
|
164:10 | loading them with a mountain range. a result of that, these elastic |
|
164:19 | will start to flex. They started deflect and deform so they do this |
|
164:29 | in this particular case the sinner elastic . This is the mountain range that |
|
164:34 | this. So what does this Well, maybe I should draw a |
|
164:38 | bit more precisely. This if your plate is stick, you form a |
|
164:47 | basin that is rather white but not deep. Hm If your elastic plate |
|
164:57 | sin you form a foreland basin that narrow and that is much deeper. |
|
165:13 | just wanted to ask you in the short before it was thick elastic |
|
165:20 | It's just found by the old technomic it's narrow. And the right. |
|
165:27 | sick elastic plate. You find that we have all these little sphere, |
|
165:33 | example, Creatine is the course of continent's old little sphere. Creighton's. |
|
165:38 | cold court with a sphere. So the indian, the central part of |
|
165:45 | indian continent is old and cold. that's a perfect example. And is |
|
165:50 | narrow and deep? Yeah, narrow deep. Or white and shallow. |
|
165:59 | the thick elastic plate will be narrow deep. Right? No thick elastic |
|
166:04 | will be white forms of light and basin and the thin elastic plate is |
|
166:10 | easier to deform. So you form narrow basin that is much deeper. |
|
166:17 | the thick elastic plate has a rigidity . That is very large. The |
|
166:23 | elastic plate has a rigidity D. is very small. The rigidity, |
|
166:29 | Flexeril rigidity was the resistance to If you have a lot of resistance |
|
166:34 | deformation, it's difficult to bend the right? So you get a little |
|
166:39 | of bending over a wide area. the Flexeril rigidity of your plate is |
|
166:45 | , there's much less resistance to the . So you put a load on |
|
166:49 | and your plates just two forms like . It goes, you know, |
|
166:53 | becomes deep narrow, you have a of information, it's easy to be |
|
166:58 | . Does that make sense? so that tells you a little bit |
|
167:04 | the dimensions of foreland basin. Some are white and shallow. Other ones |
|
167:10 | narrow and deep. It really depends where you are now, what's white |
|
167:18 | basin? That is 600 kilometers or kilometers wide. That's really white. |
|
167:23 | Himalayan foreland basin is something like That's a white for a foreland basin |
|
167:29 | also be 100 kilometers wide, that's narrower. Deal, what do you |
|
167:33 | to say? I was just gonna , I think the west western Canada |
|
167:39 | basin is about, It's got to 500 600 km wide and the southern |
|
167:46 | . It narrows to the north. just to give you an idea of |
|
167:52 | a normal size is. Right, these are big basins, what does |
|
167:56 | mean shallow, maybe a few kilometers . Deep foreland basins can be eight |
|
168:07 | or so. So yeah, so can be these these are serious |
|
168:13 | right? Large sized basins really important the petroleum industry. Now, if |
|
168:20 | would have to guess the temperature of basins, the heat going, the |
|
168:27 | flow going into these sedimentary basins, would you guess? Normal temperature fairly |
|
168:34 | hot? The Oh yeah, the would be cold and she one would |
|
168:51 | hard. I wouldn't call it There's no magnetism or so. |
|
168:56 | But you're right, this would absolutely called low heat flow into the |
|
169:04 | That's what I would say this probably normal temperatures. I wouldn't call |
|
169:12 | hot. Right Holt. I would something where there was magnetism of |
|
169:16 | So I wouldn't call it hot, probably warmer. Yeah, you're absolutely |
|
169:25 | . And that that is kind of back to the elasticity that we were |
|
169:29 | about um with each model. now the sediments typical foreign and basin |
|
169:42 | these sequences that follow patterns. Deep marine, shallow marine flu |
|
169:48 | They go through those faces. They go through that several times during their |
|
169:54 | . You know, if something changes the load, right? You may |
|
169:57 | the basin or something like that. may deepen temporarily. And then you |
|
170:01 | go through that sequence again. So are called mecca sequences. They have |
|
170:06 | sequences of sedimentary study graphic um patterns . So again, normal would be |
|
170:14 | filled marine, shallow marine and they to fill up and then maybe even |
|
170:20 | or terrestrial when they're completely filled So they go through these, you |
|
170:25 | , patterns that make perfect sense. also saw that a lot of these |
|
170:30 | basins, there's internal information. It's these flats lying sediment packages, |
|
170:36 | And I'm sketching so as there is continent, continent collision or compression in |
|
170:43 | area, you can imagine that these packages maidenform as well. So it's |
|
170:48 | more complex than we're sketching here. you can also imagine that as a |
|
170:52 | of that, you may form many traps in these foreland basin systems. |
|
171:00 | . And then again, where do sediments come from? Some are |
|
171:04 | deep marine, some are shallow marine when this basin is filling up |
|
171:10 | um they're coming from this, this mountain ranges right to fall through |
|
171:15 | name. So with all these um these basins think about these components, |
|
171:22 | do settlements come from? How deep the base and etcetera? Another thing |
|
171:29 | we looked at is the subsidence history these basins. So because they start |
|
171:36 | falling, forming slowly at the there's just, you know, there's |
|
171:41 | small amount of subsidence and that accelerates time as this fortress style belt builds |
|
171:47 | , the load increases and more settlements available. Typical subsidence curve of a |
|
171:54 | basin starts out slow and then increases time. Questions so far. So |
|
172:09 | back to the examples that you just out in summary of everything. Um |
|
172:14 | example that was on the right um that generally considered better for petroleum systems |
|
172:21 | of the warmer temperatures? No I say it doesn't really matter. Um |
|
172:27 | even these white and shallow basins, often reach depths over the course of |
|
172:32 | of millions of years. Um That be large enough enough depth. So |
|
172:37 | don't think um I don't think it . One would be excluded. Do |
|
172:45 | know what I mean? Or less ? Yeah that's a really good |
|
172:55 | Any other questions or thoughts? No , not for me. Good Megan |
|
173:08 | . I'm good. I discard that with the once you just told so |
|
173:14 | elastic plate would be wide and shallow gold. Right? Yeah. So |
|
173:19 | is the opposite and why not? . Okay so this is the right |
|
173:26 | and it's very intuitive right material that's stiffer doesn't want to deform that |
|
173:32 | So they make sense that these Um Thank you. Alright. Deal |
|
173:43 | remaining questions at this point in Um No I'm fine. Everything's everything's |
|
173:55 | . So I'm gonna quickly find the um That I gave you and that |
|
174:02 | had hoped that we could finish in . I'm gonna find it and then |
|
174:07 | walk you through it and that that's we will end them today. And |
|
174:11 | I hope that this week you have to look at it. So let |
|
174:16 | open it. So it's a pds it's called for the basin exercise and |
|
174:29 | gonna try to share it with you screen here. It is. So |
|
174:35 | looks very very bad on the shared . Um looks familiar. Okay, |
|
174:46 | see. So you see here the equation that we saw today, |
|
174:50 | We talked about it. So w the deflection B was deflection rigidity. |
|
174:56 | have row and minus refilled at restoring . Q. X. Is the |
|
175:00 | . So this equation should look And then the little graph there shows |
|
175:09 | Persian growth now but we didn't talk it yet. And that's because it's |
|
175:14 | of this um this little exercise is solution to this equation. So the |
|
175:21 | is shown here. Oops, I can't sketch on it. Oops. |
|
175:27 | solution is shown below and it starts W as a function of X over |
|
175:34 | . And if you look at that , there's a W max and that |
|
175:38 | an exponent that has a co sign it has a sign. Now, |
|
175:43 | does that mean that exponents is associated the amplitudes of the deflection. And |
|
175:51 | means that the following when you're close the falls for spells and you have |
|
175:56 | deep for deep your sedimentary basin. saw that that sedimentary basin can be |
|
176:01 | six km deep or so. Then amplitude of the formation exponentially the |
|
176:08 | So that means that the four broach is the next blurb right. The |
|
176:13 | wave that it produces has an amplitude is a maximum of 100 m or |
|
176:20 | . So to order more than an of magnitude smaller than that of the |
|
176:24 | sedimentary basin and the back brooch, talked about that back brooch, that |
|
176:30 | reflection behind the four brooch, the coach has a maximum amplitude of only |
|
176:38 | so kilometers of the 40 basin, foreland basin, 100 m or 50 |
|
176:46 | of the four brooch. And then in the back roads. So you |
|
176:52 | that that amplitudes of the information of wave decreases rapidly. And that is |
|
176:58 | exponent that you see in the beginning that equation now further you see any |
|
177:04 | co sign and sign. That's you , that flexible wave that goes like |
|
177:09 | , this this that's basically when you a cosine and a sine. So |
|
177:14 | basically makes up that shape. So the amplitude again, is the |
|
177:19 | exponentially decrease, very rapid decrease in and the co sign and sign together |
|
177:25 | you that wave. So that is that is stood. Now it is |
|
177:30 | function not only of X, the axis, but X over alpha and |
|
177:36 | is what we call the flex dual number. And I've given you the |
|
177:42 | here and then um it's related to flex dual wavelength. So we talked |
|
177:48 | the risk of a foreign land for example. So this flexible, |
|
177:52 | information has what we call a flex wavelength and flexible wavelength is two pi |
|
177:59 | . It's shown here in this um . So you're flexible wavelength is longer |
|
178:07 | alpha is larger. And then if look one line up at what alpha |
|
178:13 | , alpha is dependent on the right? D. So the more |
|
178:19 | your um your plate is, the , the realistic plate is, the |
|
178:25 | the wavelength of these formation and the effectual wavelengths. That's basically what you |
|
178:31 | get out of this. Now, can skip this. So here, |
|
178:37 | first question is, how does a wavelength relate to the elastic thickness of |
|
178:41 | ford in place? Well, when think about it, the thicker the |
|
178:46 | thickness is of this plate, the that wavelength is right, that's what |
|
178:51 | looked at today makes perfect sense. , if you plot, if you |
|
178:56 | in one in creation here into the , that's what you get out of |
|
179:00 | . That's basically what I'm asking here . It says sketch the deflection as |
|
179:05 | function of X. We've done that million times today, where the load |
|
179:11 | , you have the deep basin, you have the brooch, then you |
|
179:14 | the back broach, that's basically the the deflection as a function of |
|
179:20 | Yeah. So that is what you sketch at number two here at number |
|
179:26 | . Show what the relation is between zero. So that is the depth |
|
179:30 | the foreland basin, the maximum depth next to the four in the front |
|
179:35 | the 4th, 1st belt and the rigidity of the place. We can |
|
179:43 | about it if you have a very plate, a large effective thickness at |
|
179:49 | point in time, you're basin won't very deep. We said those basins |
|
179:52 | be shallow with white. You can it by plugging in one of these |
|
179:58 | into the other and then you see as well, right? Um Here's |
|
180:06 | more calculations and then the last thing do here and exercise is um let |
|
180:16 | see if there's one more thing, one more thing, there's two more |
|
180:23 | that you need to do. Um sketched for several points in the base |
|
180:29 | what will happen over time, If the system would be for |
|
180:34 | so points A. B or C later on the location of Bhopal. |
|
180:40 | this indian place would continue to move Asia, that is what you would |
|
180:45 | here, he would sketch, you , Bhopal would first become part of |
|
180:50 | broach, then it would become part the foreland basin. That's what you |
|
180:54 | be to do here. And then last um the last thing that I'm |
|
181:01 | here is something that we sketched just an hour ago photograph access years time |
|
181:10 | to access its distance. I've sketched what I'm calling the wedge, but |
|
181:15 | is the fourth response and then what would do in this figure, you |
|
181:19 | sketch in the location of the foreland , the location of the flexible |
|
181:26 | right. This broach that, that on the other side of the basin |
|
181:31 | then you would put in here where think at that point in time the |
|
181:36 | would be deep, so deep ring marine flew fuel, so basically very |
|
181:43 | to, to the exercise that we did in together here. So that's |
|
181:50 | . So I have to tell you is not a simple exercise and um |
|
181:58 | worry about the details. Um, is um, it basically covers everything |
|
182:04 | talked about so far in this weekend if you, you know, if |
|
182:07 | doesn't work out for you, you finish it, don't worry about so |
|
182:11 | it together in class next weekend and also give you the, the answer |
|
182:17 | . Maybe I already give you the key before next friday, so you |
|
182:21 | a chance to look at it before . Okay, so it's not |
|
182:25 | It's not like just putting something in equation and calculating something, there's like |
|
182:31 | thinking steps. Um, but it everything we've been talking about this weekend |
|
182:37 | then after this, we're done with land basis. They won't come back |
|
182:41 | on in the course. Okay this everything so that will be the foreland |
|
182:47 | exercise. Just give yourself like a an hour an hour to look at |
|
182:51 | and see if you can make sense any of these questions and then we'll |
|
182:56 | the rest in class next weekend. great. Right? So what I'm |
|
183:03 | try to do is stop sharing We are gonna meet next week. |
|
183:09 | you know what room? Yeah we're meet in SnR one. So the |
|
183:15 | so the building that's the department is in second floor in the computer room |
|
183:26 | . Yeah I think so yeah and there's one little problem at least that |
|
183:34 | have. I don't know if you a deal and if you have a |
|
183:37 | Hayden so I don't have the code that room. So out of the |
|
183:45 | I think it's will be open in but we need access to getting on |
|
183:53 | correct? We need access on saturday well. I used to have the |
|
183:57 | because I have done my three Making that lab. I can check |
|
184:03 | on friday if it's working. Yeah definitely friday but we just need to |
|
184:08 | be aware that before saturday we need have it because saturday will be in |
|
184:12 | room in the computer room the whole date and the building is open right |
|
184:27 | the weekends. Remember? But the open. Oh Fleming like Fleming with |
|
184:40 | lobby open before it. But the building will be open. Okay |
|
184:46 | And R. Will be open. but I have a slider key thing |
|
184:49 | get an S. R. Anyway . Okay. All right. But |
|
184:53 | make sure on friday if we figure how to get in the building and |
|
184:56 | to get in the room details. we gonna have coffee and stuff? |
|
185:08 | we gonna have coffee. Oh shape can we have a coffee in the |
|
185:13 | lab and building? Is that is side of the door will open during |
|
185:19 | weekend. So and I think the the computer level not close so so |
|
185:30 | can always have access to that. mean before they had coffee like that |
|
185:36 | don't let it inside but they have in the hallway. Right. |
|
185:40 | Can we have coffee in the You tie Do you think? |
|
185:43 | I'll try and have coffee for Yeah, especially saturday. Yeah. |
|
185:54 | we bring do we bring donuts and on Saturdays? Oh I hope |
|
185:59 | I mean I'll stop by and pick stuff up. Oh that would be |
|
186:03 | too. Yeah. We need to a place to have lunch on saturday |
|
186:10 | well. Right? But we'll we'll it out. Yeah. Yeah. |
|
186:14 | right. Find a place that serves you know? All right. We'll |
|
186:23 | that somebody for the first weekend. next weekend. Any question, anything |
|
186:29 | is unclear about this weekend, okay, you have a whole week |
|
186:32 | think about what didn't make sense, we can talk about it next |
|
186:39 | Great. Great. Well, I'm looking forward to meeting your own |
|
186:45 | Yes, ma'am, as |
|
