基于采自冲绳海槽中部的CS2站柱状沉积物黏土矿物和AMS14C年代分析,探讨了末次冰消期以来冲绳海槽中部黏土矿物的物质来源及其环境指示意义。结果显示,CS2站黏土矿物以伊利石为主,其次为绿泥石,高岭石和蒙脱石含量较少。根据黏土矿物分...基于采自冲绳海槽中部的CS2站柱状沉积物黏土矿物和AMS14C年代分析,探讨了末次冰消期以来冲绳海槽中部黏土矿物的物质来源及其环境指示意义。结果显示,CS2站黏土矿物以伊利石为主,其次为绿泥石,高岭石和蒙脱石含量较少。根据黏土矿物分布趋势变化,CS2站柱状沉积物可划分为3个阶段:阶段Ⅰ(19~12 ka BP)和阶段Ⅱ(12~8 ka BP)期间沉积物主要来源于长江,台湾和黄河物质也有一定影响,其物质来源主要受海平面升降的控制;阶段Ⅲ(8~0 ka BP)主要来源于长江和台湾,黄河贡献有限,主要受黑潮演化的影响。CS2站(蒙脱石+高岭石)/(伊利石+绿泥石)比值可以作为东亚季风演化的矿物学指标,指标变化显示出东亚冬季风强度相对夏季风的强度在16.4~14.8 ka BP和12.8~11.6 ka BP期间有两次显著的加强,指示当时气候相对寒冷干燥,结果可以与格陵兰冰心δ18O和三宝洞δ18O记录等很好对比。展开更多
