摘要
文中从固体地球物理学与板块大地构造学的交融合汇历史出发,诉述岩石圈探测与大地构造物理学的基本思路。大地构造物理学的研究包括以下5个方面内容:大陆岩石圈调查;区域壳幔结构的成像和解构;全球对比同类大地构造单元的壳幔结构;动力学分析找出每一种大地构造单元生成和演化规律;验证动力学作用模式。以实例说明了区域壳幔结构的解构。最后提出当前大地构造物理学的研究方向与问题。
Starting from the history of the blend of solid earth geophysics and plate tectonics,this paper introduces main ideas of continental lithospheric investigation and tectonophysics.The researches on tectonophysics include five aspects as follows:regional investigations of lithospheric physical structures,imaging and deconstruction of inferred crust and upper-mantle models,world-wide comparison of crust and regional upper-mantle models,dynamic analysis of the revolution of tectonic processes,and testing tectonic hypothesis and models.A real example of deconstruction of an inferred crust and upper-mantle model is provided.Finally,further research directions and problems of tectonophysics are suggested.
