Structure of the crust beneath Lake Superior from forward modeling of large aperture seismic dataShay, John T. 30 March 1990 (has links)
Both travel times and amplitudes of large offset refracted and reflected arrivals
observed during GLIMPCE (Great Lakes International Multidisciplinary Program on
Crustal Evolution) along line A in Lake Superior have been modeled using two-dimensional
ray tracing techniques. Forward modeling was used to iteratively refine an
initial velocity model that was constructed from results of tau-sum analysis of the travel
time data at each station combined with information from the coincident common depth
point (CDP) reflection profile. When converted to time the resulting model agrees quite
well with the CDP reflection profile. A 50-100 ms time advance anomaly associated with
the Isle Royal Fault is observed at every station. This anomaly has been modeled as
shallow, high velocity blocks located directly beneath the fault. The blocks correlate well
with the walls of a steep-sided bathymetric trough and are believed to represent highly
indurated upper Keweenawan sediments which may have resulted from hydrothermal
alteration. Approximately 2 km of sedimentary rock (2.8-4.6 km/sec) overlie an 8 km
thick sequence of volcanics and interflow sediments (5.0-6.5 km/sec) within the rift
graben observed on the reflection data. Beneath this sequence is a 6-8 km thick sequence
of 6.6-7.0 km/sec material that is interpreted to represent metamorphosed volcanics. The
velocity of the material at the base of the rift graben is not well constrained
(approximately 7.0 -7.2 km/sec), but probably comprises an additional 10-12 kilometers
of meta-volcanic rocks and intrusions that extend to the base of the graben as imaged on
the CDP reflection profile. Boundaries between these sequences are indicated by
reflections observed at several of the wide-aperture stations. A marked decrease in the
apparent velocity and amplitude of the first arrivals is observed on reversed sections at
ranges exceeding 100 km. This decrease in apparent velocity has been modeled as lower
velocity continental crustal rocks (approximately 6.5 km/sec) at a depth of about 15-20
km adjacent to the 7.0 km/sec material in the graben. Calculation of the gravity response
of the seismic model demonstrates that the gravity high centered over the rift can be
entirely attributed to high density rocks occupying the central half-graben imaged on the
CDP profile. Wide angle reflections from about 15-30 km depth beneath the flanks of the
graben indicate the presence of velocity discontinuities that may represent rift related
detachment surfaces and/or pre-rift structures. Modeling of wide angle reflections
indicate a high degree of structural relief preserved within the lower crust. The high
velocities modeled for this region, coupled with information from the CDP profile,
suggest that the lower crust represents Archean crust that has been either heavily intruded
or underplated by mafic magma. The style and volume of volcanic emplacement is
similar to that of Phanerozoic rifted continental margins and flood basalt provinces. By
analogy, the volcanism within the midcontinent rift appears to have resulted from
decompression melting during lithospheric extension above a broad, asthenospheric
thermal anomaly recently referred to in the literature as the "Keweenawan hot spot". / Graduation date: 1991
