摘要: 河流作为主要的地貌单元之一,在经历构造活动、气候变化、海平面升降后,会记录丰富的相关信息。基于物理模型引入的河流剪切力模型,可以将河流基岩侵蚀与河流的相关参数结合起来,使得我们可以应用地貌参数对河流侵蚀速率进行计算。利用已有的龙门山地区沉积岩类和花岗岩类的河流剪切力与侵蚀速率之间的经验关系,我们计算沿河139个点的侵蚀速率。另外根据河流侵蚀速率与河流剪切力的线性关系,我们计算了各调查点的可蚀性系数(Erodibility)。研究结果表明汶川-茂县断裂下盘的侵蚀速率为0.43 mm/yr,双石-大川断裂上下盘的侵蚀速率分别为0.49 mm/yr和0.28 mm/yr。另外本研究揭示出:(1)相同岩性的情况下,断裂附近的基岩可蚀性系数明显大于其它区域(即断裂附近的岩石较破碎);(2)相对花岗岩来说,沉积岩受断裂活动的影响更严重,但是影响范围较集中。

Abstract: As one of the main geomorphic units, rivers records rich information after experiencing tectonic activity, climate change and sea level change. Based on the shear stress model, the fluvial erosion can be combined with the relevant parameters of the river, so that we can use the geomorphological parameters to calculate fluvial erosion rate. Based on the empirical relationship between fluvial shear stress and erosion rates of sedimentary rocks and granites in the Longmen Shan area, we calculate the erosion rate for 139 survey points of fluvial shear stress. In addition, according to the linear relationship between river erosion rate and fluvial shear stress, Erodibility coefficients of each survey point were calculated. The results show that the average erosion rate is 0.43 mm/yr in the footwall of Wenchuan-Maoxian fault, the average erosion rate in the hanging wall and footwall of Shuangshi-Dachuan fault is 0.49 mm/yr and 0.28 mm/yr, respectively. In addition, this study reveals that: (1) In the same lithology, the erodibility coefficient of bedrock near the fault is obviously larger than that of other regions, in other words, the rocks near the fault are more broken. (2) Sedimentary rocks are more severely affected by fault activities than granite, but the impact of sedimentary rocks is more concentrated.
