Diferentes estilos de delaminación continental: influencia de la estructura de viscosidad y de la producción radiogénica de calor.

Abstract

[ES] En este estudio se aplican algoritmos termomecánicos para modelizar la evolución asimétrica de una litosfera orogénica engrosada, con un conducto adyacente de baja viscosidad, que atraviesa la litosfera. Analizamos la influencia en la evolución de la delaminación de la estratificación de viscosidad, de la producción radiogénica de calor y de la naturaleza del material presente en el conducto de baja viscosidad. Esta evolución es muy sensible a la viscosidad del manto litosférico y, en menor grado, a la viscosidad de la astenosfera y de la corteza inferior. Un aumento de tan sólo un orden de magnitud de la viscosidad máxima permitida para la litosfera (de 1022 a 1023 Pa s) produce un cambio de una delaminación bien desarrollada, con una fuerte migración del punto de delaminación, a una completa inhibición del proceso. Los resultados muestran que la producción radiogénica de calor tiene una fuerte influencia en la geometría del manto litosférico en hundimiento. Los modelos con una elevada producción de calor en la corteza inferior predicen el ascenso astenosférico, sin que se forme una estructura de tipo slab en el manto superior. Obtenemos que la naturaleza del material que constituye el conducto de baja viscosidad, bien sea material astenosférico o bien manto litosférico de baja viscosidad, no afecta significativamente al proceso de delaminación. Sugerimos que tanto el debilitamiento litosférico por procesos de deshidratación como el adelgazamiento térmico son mecanismos plausibles para la formación de conductos de baja viscosidad capaces de desencadenar la delaminación.

[EN] Thermo-mechanical algorithms are applied in this study to model the asymmetric evolution of a thickened orogenic lithosphere with an adjacent ‘low viscosity conduit’ across the lithosphere. We investigate the influence of viscosity stratification, crustal radiogenic heat production, and nature of the material filling the ‘low viscosity conduit’ on the evolution of delamination. This evolution is shown here to be very sensitive to the lithospheric mantle viscosity and, to a lesser degree, to asthenosphere and lower crust viscosities. An increase of only one order of magnitude in the maximum viscosity of the lithospheric mantle (from 1022 to 1023 Pa s) causes a change from a well-developed delamination with large displacement of delamination point to a complete inhibition of this process. Radiogenic heat production is shown to have a strong influence on the resulting geometry of the sinking lithospheric mantle. Models with high radiogenic heat production in lower crust reproduce asthenospheric upwelling but without creating a slab-like structure in the upper mantle. We obtain that the nature of the material filling the low viscosity conduit, either asthenospheric material or low viscosity lithospheric mantle, does not significantly affect the development of delamination. We suggest that both lithospheric weakening by dehydration processes and thermal thinning processes are plausible mechanisms for the formation of ‘low viscosity conduits’ able to sustain delamination.
