Fault distribution and formation mechanism of a magnetic quiet zone in the northern South China Sea

Abstract: A magnetic quiet zone (MQZ) is located in the ocean–continent transition zone in the northern South China Sea (SCS), according to ΔT magnetic anomaly data. Features of the gravity and magnetic anomalies in the MQZ are discussed by the multi‐scale wavelet decomposition method. Comprehensive boundary identification and fault analysis by analytic signal and normalized total horizontal derivative methods achieve some good effects in the northern SCS. The inversion results suggest a deep magnetic basement, a shallo… Show more

“…The South China Sea (SCS) is located in the junction of the Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Indian–Australian Plate (Figure ). It is a typical representative of western Pacific marginal seas (Li, Li, Yu, Wang, & Jourdan, ; Lei et al, ; Liu et al, ; Lü, Hao, Yao, Xing, & Qiu, ; Guo et al, ; Zhu, Li, Sun, & Li, ; Zhang, Li, Guo et al, ; Zheng et al, ). Despite its relatively short tectonic evolution history, the SCS has roughly experienced a complete Wilson cycle, including continental break‐up, seafloor spreading, and subduction (Fang, Ding, Fang, Zhao, & Feng, ; Li, Yan, Chen, & Shi, ; Wang et al, ; Yang & Fang, ).…”

“…Lu et al divided the South China Sea and its surrounding areas into eight secondary tectonic units and nine tertiary tectonic units using free-air gravity anomaly data [ 7 ]. Liu et al used magnetic anomaly data to identify comprehensive boundaries in the northern South China Sea [ 8 ]. Yin et al divided South China Sea and adjacent area into nine stable blocks, two suture zones, two accretionary zones, one subduction-collision zone, one ramp zone, and six small oceanic marginal sea basins [ 9 ].…”

“…This was based on several multi‐channel seismic reflection profiles and crustal‐scale structural profiles by gravity data and ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) data across the northern South China Sea margin, when the eastern margin of the South China Block underwent a break‐up, rifting and late seafloor spreading. H. Liu et al . (2016) described a magnetic quiet zone located in the continent–ocean boundary in the northern South China Sea based on ΔT magnetic anomalies data.…”
