- Abstract:
-
The Crust-Mantle transition zone serves as a critical interface for the exchange of material and energy between the Earth's Crust and Mantle,closely tied to deep processes and tectonic evolution in the region.This study extracts characteristics of crustal thickness variation with frequency from receiver functions H-κ stacking beneath 31 seismic stations in the Tengchong volcanic area,as well as the Ps/P and PpPs/P amplitude ratios of the receiver functions.It reveals that the Heikongshan-Randengsi area to the north of the Yingjiang fault and the Shabatai area to the south exhibit lower amplitude ratios and a crustal thickness difference of approximately 2 km compared to surrounding regions.Combining these observations with previous findings of relatively thin Crust and high VP/VS ratios in these two areas suggests a thick Crust-Mantle transition zone,hypothesized as conduits for Mantle material into the Crust.Building on previous findings of extensive low-velocity features in the upper,middle,and lower Crust of the region,this paper postulates that magma from the Mantle likely ascends through the Crust along the Tengchong volcanic area,specifically through the regions of Heikongshan-Randengsi and Shabatai.Subsequently,it enriches and laterally spreads within the lower,middle,and upper Crust,eventually erupting onto the surface through multiple channels.
