摘要: |
根据1987,1988,1990年在东北赤道太平洋CC区(134° - 157°W)的3个航次多金属结核调查资料的统计分析;结果表明,CC区自西向东,从北向南,多金属结核丰度、覆盖率、形态、粒径和化学组分等具明显的区域性分布规律。但在这一区域性分布背景上,结核的局部分布很复杂。区中海水的生物生产力、区域地质构造与火山活动、南极底层水(流)、水深、海底地形、海底沉积特征等地质地理环境因素的区域性规律也很明显,并直接控制了本区多金属结核的区域性分布。地形、底层流、沉积速率等的局部变化是结核分布局部变化的主要控制因素,由于这些因素的复杂多变,也造成了结核局部分布的复杂化。 |

Abstract: |
Manganese nodule data collected by the State Oceanic Administration in 1987. 1988. 1990 by the R/V “Xiang Yang Hong 16" were used to study the regional distribution patterns and local variation features of nodules in the C1arion-Clipperton Zone (CC Zone)( 134° - 157°W), and to analyze the geologic and geographic environmental factors and their variation trends in this area. The control of environmental factors on nodule distribution is discussed.
The study showed obvious W-E and N-S distribution patterns of nodule abundance, coverage, morphology, size and chemical composition in the CC Zone where the regional geologic and geographic environment variations of biologic productivity, antarctic bottom water (AABW), regional geological tectonics and volcanic activity, water depth, seafloor topography, sediments and sedimentation rate, etc, obviously control the regional-scale nodule distribution here.
The complicated local-scale nodule variation is mainly controlled by the complex local variation of seafloor topography, AABW, sedimentation rate, etc. |
