摘要

Results of a sandbox modeling program investigating transtensional strike-slip pull-apart basins are presented in this talk. The models are designed to investigate gross basin architecture as well as intra-basin deformation and compare the results to the structural setting of the Coso Geothermal System. The base geometry of the Coso system has been approximated to a 30 deg releasing stepover. In the models this geometry is approximated by cut aluminum plates linked by a stretching rubber membrane to generate intra-basin extension and subsidence. The Coso pull-apart is further complicated by a degree of transtension across the system and this is modeled by a 5 deg divergent oblique-motion across the master strike-slip faults. Brittle cover rocks are modeled by fine-grained (100 (mu)m) silica sand and ductile layers by silicone polymers. Single polymer layers model a conservative brittle-ductile transition in the Coso area at 6 km. Dual polymer layers impose a local rise in the brittle-ductile transition to 4 km depth. In all models the gross geometry consists of a lazy-Z shaped basin consisting of terraced sidewall fault systems and a cross-basin fault zone (CBFZ) linking the offset principal displacement zones. Models conducted with symmetric displacements on the moving plates generated intra-basin horst structures that separated dual depocenters. Variations in displacement ratios on the master plates resulted in the development of asymmetric basins with distinctly terraced margins on the low-displacement plate and dissected by cross-basin fault zones with complex horst structures. The addition of a high-level localized polymer layer serves to concentrate deformation further along the CBFZ. In these models the CBFZ is a narrow, deep, graben structure that links the PDZs flanked by low displacement margins and segmented horst structures. The results of the modeling program bear strong resemblances to the structures seen on the ground at Coso. Intra-basin highs such as the Coso Range are generated in the pull-aparts and the geometry and location of these highs is dependent on the imposed boundary conditions. Basin asymmetry is strongly linked to variations in relative plate motions. Future modeling will seek to generate 4D evolutionary models of these pull-apart structures using models "frozen" at various displacements as well as detailed analysis of surface deformation using high resolution laser scanners that rapidly generate large data clusters at each increment of deformation.
