The characterization of ancient spreading ridge formation systems is the foundation for in-depth scientific innovation and resource exploration. The formation of ancient spreading ridge formation systems is controlled by multiple factors. Under large-scale tectonic settings, the development of sedimentary strata and the shaping of topography are both under the control of these factors. Topographic modification is influenced by tectonic processes and sedimentary environments, and sedimentary strata are filled and deformed under tectonic processes. However, the relevant technologies for understanding ancient spreading ridge formation systems are still relatively superficial or one-sided, making it difficult to achieve a refined interpretation of these systems.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit it.

Depending on the context, the words “if,” “when,” or “in response to a determination” as used herein may be interpreted as “when…” or “when…” or “in response to a determination.”

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0049] Before providing a detailed description of the embodiments of this application, some related technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be described first, as follows:

[0050] The formation system of ancient spreading ridges in ocean basins contains important evidence of seafloor spreading and the formation and evolution of ocean basins. It is also part of the complex dynamic processes of oceanic plates, and its oceanic crustal magmatic activity and hydrothermal circulation are directly related to hydrothermal mineral resources. Characterizing the formation system of ancient spreading ridges is the foundation for in-depth scientific innovation and resource exploration. The formation of ancient spreading ridge formation systems is controlled by multiple factors. Under the background of large-scale tectonic activity, the development of sedimentary strata and the shaping of topography are both under its control. Topographic modification is influenced by tectonic processes and sedimentary environments, and sedimentary strata are filled and deformed under tectonic activity. Therefore, the refined characterization of ancient spreading ridge formation systems is a method for integrated research on multiple factors such as tectonicity, sedimentation, and topography.

[0051] For example, obtaining a large amount of high-resolution seismic profiles, shallow stratigraphic profiles, magnetic data, and multibeam bathymetry data around the periphery of ancient spreading ridges allows for a clearer, more effective, and accurate understanding of the ridge's formation system. Through geophysical interpretation methods, it has been found that the geophysical fields and crustal structures of the central rift valley and its north and south flanks of the ancient spreading ridge exhibit symmetric characteristics, but also show differences in parameters such as extension range, orientation, and slope. Interpreting the topographic and geomorphic types and distribution characteristics of multibeam bathymetry data in the study area, alternating ridges, seamounts, troughs, and depressions were identified along the spreading central axis and on its north and south flanks. Based on seismic profiles and magnetic data interpretation, the northeast-trending central fault, the near-east-west trending linear structures, and the northwest- and northeast-trending conversion faults were identified. The ancient spreading ridge exhibits a discontinuous structure, which is presumed to be the result of northeast-southwest spreading of the studied basin from 56 to 45 Ma, north-south spreading from 45 to 33 / 30 Ma, and northeast-southwest seafloor rifting from 30 to 26 Ma. Seamounts and ridges are concentrated within a 50 km radius on both sides of the central rift valley. This area is the most active location of igneous diapiric structures. At the same time, the development of numerous ridges of varying sizes in the near-east-west direction is also a direct reflection of the dominance of igneous diapiric structures in the formation of ridge landforms on the seabed. To study the geophysical interpretation and analysis of the tectonic system of ancient spreading ridges in ocean basins, a geological model of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding tectonic system was established, and the dynamic mechanisms of seafloor spreading and ocean basin formation and evolution were reasonably interpreted.

[0052] Due to the enormous financial costs associated with deep-sea drilling and geophysical surveys for obtaining field data, the interpretation of ancient spreading ridge tectonic systems typically relies on one or a combination of these methods. These methods include interpreting magnetic anomaly stripes from globally available magnetic data, interpreting geomorphological structures using multibeam bathymetry data, and interpreting a single locally measured seismic profile. This approach extends the inference from a small local area to a broader understanding of sedimentary, tectonic, and topographical features. However, these methods provide only a superficial or incomplete understanding of ancient spreading ridge tectonic systems, hindering a precise interpretation.

[0053] Therefore, this application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for characterizing ancient spreading ridge formation systems. The technical solution of this application includes: acquiring multidimensional geological and geophysical data characterizing ancient spreading ridge formation systems; determining target feature data for the study area based on the multidimensional geological and geophysical data; wherein the target feature data includes geomorphic features, sequence stratigraphy, the development location and extension length of fault systems, the distribution of igneous diapiric structures and magnetic anomaly bands in the study area; constructing corresponding scenarios of geomorphology, sequence stratigraphy, and fault systems based on the target feature data, and determining the dynamic mechanism of the ancient spreading ridge development process, thereby constructing a geological model characterizing the ancient spreading ridge formation system. This application's solution comprehensively considers multiple factors in the development of ancient spreading ridge formation systems. By linking topography, sedimentary evolution, and tectonic activity, it can detail the geodynamic mechanism of the ancient spreading ridge formation system characterization process and more closely approximate the tectonic-sedimentary evolution process of real ancient spreading ridges. This application can lay the foundation for further research on plate tectonics dynamics and hydrothermal mineral resource exploration.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a method for characterizing an ancient spreading ridge formation system. This method may include, but is not limited to, steps S100 to S120, as follows:

[0057] S100: Acquire multidimensional geological and geophysical data characterizing the ancient spreading ridge formation system.

[0058] For example, this embodiment can collect geological and geophysical multidimensional data for characterizing ancient spreading ridge formation systems, including multibeam bathymetry data, gravity data, magnetic data, seismic profiles, shallow stratigraphic profiles, and drilling data, and then screen, classify, and organize the geological and geophysical multidimensional data.

[0059] S110: Determine the target feature data of the study area based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data; wherein, the target feature data includes the geomorphic features, sequence stratigraphic structure, development location and extension length of the fault system, igneous diapiric structures and distribution of magnetic anomaly stripes of the study area.

[0060] It is understood that the target feature data in this embodiment can characterize the landform, strata and other features of the study area, and the geological characteristics of the study area can be understood based on the target feature data.

[0061] Next, we will explain each type of data in the target feature data.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, the step of determining the geomorphic features based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data includes steps S200 to S240:

[0063] S200: Determine seabed topographic parameters based on the multibeam bathymetry data in the aforementioned geological-geophysical multidimensional data;

[0064] S210: Divide the seabed topographic parameters into different types of geomorphic units;

[0065] S220: The landform is formed according to the morphological characteristics and material composition of each of the landform units;

[0066] S230: Different geomorphic systems are formed by utilizing the structural features, sedimentary features, and genesis of each of the aforementioned geomorphic features;

[0067] S240: Determine the spatial arrangement of each of the landform systems within the study area as the landform feature.

[0068] Specifically, this embodiment can use multibeam bathymetry data of the study area to interpret the topographic features of the study area, identify the geomorphic unit types of the study area, and finely depict the morphology and distribution range of each type of geomorphic unit.

[0069] More specifically, geomorphic unit types are classified using seabed topographic parameters (such as elevation, isobaths, slope lines, gradient, and shape). Each geomorphic unit is composed of specific morphological features and materials, forming geomorphic shapes. Geomorphic shapes constitute different geomorphic systems according to their structural features, sedimentary features, and genesis. The spatial arrangement and combination of different geomorphic systems within the study area constitute the regional geomorphic structure, which can reflect the tectonic environment characteristics of the study area.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the step of determining the sequence stratigraphy based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data includes S300–S310:

[0071] S300: Determine the characteristics of seismic reflection surfaces and lithological abrupt change surfaces based on the seismic profiles, shallow stratigraphic profiles, and drilling data in the geological-geophysical multidimensional data;

[0072] S300: Identify sequence stratigraphic interfaces based on the seismic reflection surface characteristics and the lithological abrupt change surface, and divide the sequence stratigraphic sequence according to the sequence stratigraphic interfaces to obtain the sequence stratigraphic structure.

[0073] Specifically, this embodiment can utilize seismic profiles, shallow stratigraphic profiles, and drilling data of the study area to identify and trace sequence stratigraphic interfaces based on seismic reflection surface characteristics and lithological abrupt changes, then divide the sequence sequence, and thereby determine the changes in sequence stratigraphic development structure before and after the basin expansion.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, the step of determining the development location and extension length of the fault system based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data includes steps S400–S420:

[0075] S400: Based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data, identify the location of the reflected wave as the location of the wave being discontinuous, the number of the same axis of the reflected wave changing abruptly, the shape of the same axis of the reflected wave changing abruptly, the reflected wave being irregular and having blank reflection, the same axis of the reflected wave being bifurcated, merged, twisted, strong phase and strong amplitude conversion, or the location of the abnormal wave.

[0076] S410: Identify the fault location on the seismic profile, mark the fault point at the fault location, and connect each of the fault points to obtain a fault line;

[0077] S420: Based on the fault lines, the fault points belonging to the same fault on each of the seismic profiles are combined on a plane to obtain a planar distribution map of the fault system; wherein, the planar distribution map includes the development location and the extension length of the fault system.

[0078] Specifically, this embodiment can use seismic profiles of the study area to interpret the fracture system. The development location and extension length of the fracture can be identified based on the wave impedance characteristics of the reflected waves and the structure. Specific characteristics include: the reflection wave is discontinuous; the number of reflection wave axes in the same direction suddenly increases, decreases, or disappears; the shape of the reflection wave axes in the same direction changes abruptly, the reflection is disordered, and blank reflections appear; the reflection wave axes in the same direction undergo bifurcation, merging, twisting, and strong phase and strong amplitude conversion; and the appearance of anomalous waves.

[0079] On seismic profiles, locations exhibiting the aforementioned conditions are identified as fault locations, and the fault points are marked. Connecting these fault points yields the fault lines. After interpreting the faults on the seismic profiles, the fault points belonging to the same fault on various seismic profiles are combined in a plane to clarify the planar distribution of the fault system. It should be noted that: 1) Fault profile interpretation: The location and length of fault development can be identified based on the wave impedance characteristics of reflected waves and the structure. Specific characteristics include: faulting of reflected waves; sudden increase, decrease, or disappearance of the number of co-directional axes of reflected waves; abrupt changes in the shape of co-directional axes of reflected waves, resulting in disordered reflections and blank reflections; bifurcation, merging, twisting, and strong phase-to-amplitude conversion of co-directional axes of reflected waves; and the appearance of anomalous waves, etc., all types of faults are interpreted on the seismic profiles. 2) Establishing a planar distribution map of the fault system through fault combination: Fault combination involves combining the fault points of the same fault on various seismic profiles in the time domain in a plane to obtain a planar distribution map of the fault system.

[0080] More specifically, the S420 may further include:

[0081] First, based on the fault lines, the fault points belonging to the basin-controlling level faults on each of the seismic profiles are combined on a plane. Then, based on the fault lines, the fault points of the secondary faults belonging to the basin-controlling level faults on each of the seismic profiles are combined on a plane to obtain the fault surface, fault attitude, fault point, fault displacement, and fault strike of each fault, thereby obtaining a planar distribution map of the fault system. Among them, when combining each fault point, the strata attitude variation law of the same fault is the same and the fault point combination conforms to the law of fracture mechanics.

[0082] It is understood that the combination of fault points in this embodiment can follow the following rules: first combine basin-controlling faults and secondary large-scale faults with obvious characteristics and large fault scale; the combination can be carried out from the shallow part above to the deep part below; the same fault has the same properties on the parallel section, and the fracture surface, fracture attitude, fault point, fault displacement, and fracture strike of the combined fault change regularly; within the same fault block, the stratigraphic attitude changes in the same way; the combination of fault points conforms to the laws of fracture mechanics.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the step of determining the igneous diapiric structure based on the geological-geophysical multidimensional data includes the following steps:

[0084] Based on the seismic reflection characteristics in the geological-geophysical multidimensional data, piercing-type igneous bodies and hidden-piercing-type igneous bodies were identified, and the morphological characteristics and planar distribution of the piercing-type igneous bodies and the hidden-piercing-type igneous bodies were determined as the igneous diapiric structures.

[0085] Specifically, this embodiment utilizes seismic profiles of the study area to interpret the development morphology and distribution of igneous diapiric structures. Based on seismic reflection characteristics, such as the contact relationship between the igneous body and the surrounding rocks, the morphology, internal structure, continuity, and amplitude of the igneous body, piercing and concealed piercing igneous bodies are identified, and their morphological characteristics and planar distribution are finely depicted. It should be noted that igneous diapiric structures (i.e., igneous bodies, a term used in tectonics) are often tower-shaped or conical, rising above the seabed, with poor or chaotic internal reflection wave resistance, and both strong and weak amplitudes are possible, lacking stratification. The surrounding sedimentary strata are relatively well-stratified and continuous. Due to the upwelling of igneous magma, the reflection wave resistance of the strata at the contact point between the surrounding strata and the igneous body rises upward, forming a distinct contact boundary with the surrounding strata, thus allowing for the depiction of the overall morphological outline of the igneous body.

[0086] To further understand the geological characteristics of the study area, embodiments of this application may also include the following steps:

[0087] Add the distribution of the igneous diapiric structure and the magnetic anomaly stripes to the planar distribution map of the fracture system.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the distribution of igneous diapiric structures can be added to the planar distribution map of the fracture system; based on the data on the characteristics and distribution patterns of magnetic anomaly stripes in the study area, the distribution of magnetic anomaly stripes can be added to the planar distribution map of the fracture system with added igneous diapiric structures.

[0089] S120: Based on the target feature data, construct the corresponding scene of landform, sequence stratigraphy and the fault system, determine the dynamic mechanism of the development process of the ancient spreading ridge, and then construct a geological model characterizing the ancient spreading ridge construction system.

[0090] Specifically, this embodiment can construct corresponding scenarios of landforms, sedimentary strata and fault systems based on the identified typical geomorphic unit types and distributions in the ancient spreading ridge study area, as well as the distribution of sequence stratigraphy, fault systems, igneous diapiric structures and magnetic anomaly stripes in the study area. It can then analyze the dynamic mechanism of the ancient spreading ridge development process, and further establish a geological model of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding construction system to realize a characterization scheme for the construction system of the ancient spreading ridge area.

[0091] The following section will provide a detailed introduction and explanation of the solutions in the embodiments of this application, using specific application examples.

[0092] Reference Figure 2 This embodiment provides a reference flowchart for a characterization method of an ancient spreading ridge formation system.

[0093] Specifically, this embodiment describes a case study of a paleofraft development in the central part of a sea basin, including the following steps:

[0094] Step 1) Collect and organize the geological and geophysical data of the basin spreading ridge area to be studied, and establish the study area.

[0095] Step 2) Using multibeam bathymetry data from the extended ridge region, interpret the topographic and geomorphological features of the study area, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the types of micro-geomorphic units are identified, their morphologies and distribution ranges are clarified, and the landform types, morphologies, and distribution ranges of the central rift valley area, the southern wing, and the northern wing of the spreading ridge are finely depicted. Specifically, Figure 3 This is an interpretation map of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding landforms. Based on parameters of the seafloor topography (such as elevation, isobaths, slope lines, gradient, shape, etc.), geomorphic units are divided according to different seafloor morphological characteristics, forming geomorphic shapes. These geomorphic shapes constitute different geomorphic systems according to their structural features, sedimentary features, and genesis. Different geomorphic systems are arranged and combined in the region to form the regional topographic and geomorphic structure, containing information about its tectonic evolution.

[0096] Step 3) Using seismic profiles, shallow stratigraphic profiles, and drilling data of the study area, identify sequence stratigraphic interfaces based on the characteristics of seismic reflection surfaces and lithological abrupt changes. Track and interpret sequence stratigraphic interfaces throughout the entire paleofreading ridge area, divide sequences A and B, and understand the changes in sequence stratigraphic structure before and after the basin spread.

[0097] Step 4) Interpret the faults using seismic profiles of the study area. This mainly involves identifying the location and length of fault development based on the wave impedance characteristics of reflected waves and structural features. Specific characteristics include: faulting of reflected waves; sudden increase, decrease, or disappearance of the number of co-directional axes of reflected waves; abrupt changes in the shape of co-directional axes of reflected waves, resulting in disordered reflections and blank reflections; bifurcation, merging, twisting, and strong phase-to-amplitude conversion of co-directional axes of reflected waves; and the appearance of anomalous waves. After interpreting the faults on the seismic profiles, the fault points belonging to the same fault on each profile are combined on a plane to clarify the planar distribution of the fault system and to draw a planar distribution map of the fault system in the paleofreading ridge area in the central part of the studied basin. Figure 4 This is an interpretation diagram of the central rift valley fault on a seismic profile. Based on the wave impedance characteristics of reflected waves and structural identification, the location and length of the fault are determined. Specific types include: faulting of reflected waves; sudden increases, decreases, or disappearances in the number of co-directional axes of reflected waves; abrupt changes in the shape of co-directional axes of reflected waves, resulting in disordered reflections and blank reflections; bifurcation, merging, twisting, and strong phase-amplitude transitions of co-directional axes of reflected waves; and the appearance of anomalous waves. These methods allow for the interpretation of the fault on the seismic profile.

[0098] Step 5) Using the seismic profile of the study area, interpret the development morphology and distribution of igneous diapiric structures. Based on seismic reflection characteristics, such as the contact relationship between igneous bodies and surrounding rocks, the morphology, internal structure, continuity, and amplitude of igneous bodies, identify piercing and concealed piercing igneous bodies, and finely depict their morphological characteristics and planar distribution. Add the distribution of igneous diapiric structures to the fault system planar distribution map from Step 4). Figure 5 This diagram interprets igneous bodies on shallow stratigraphic profiles. Based on seismic reflection characteristics, such as the contact boundary between the igneous body and the surrounding rock, the shape, internal structure, continuity, and amplitude of the igneous body, it identifies piercing and concealed piercing igneous bodies, meticulously depicts their morphology, and interprets the tectonic contact relationship between the igneous body and the surrounding strata, as well as the fracturing and fracture development of the surrounding strata caused by the upward development of the igneous body.

[0099] Step 6) Based on the data on the characteristics and distribution patterns of magnetic anomaly stripes in the study area, overlay them onto the plane distribution map of the fault system and igneous diapiric structure established in Step 5). Figure 6This study aims to obtain a planar distribution map of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding tectonic system. Based on the faults and igneous bodies identified in seismic and shallow stratigraphic profiles, the location, morphology, and extent of the faults and igneous bodies in the planar distribution are determined. Then, based on the analysis of magnetic data, the types and distribution of magnetic anomaly stripes in the study area and its surrounding area are analyzed to obtain a comprehensive planar distribution map of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding tectonic system.

[0100] Step 7) Using the method in Step 2), identify the typical geomorphic unit types, morphologies, and distribution ranges of the ancient spreading ridge study area. Then, using the methods in Steps 3) to 5), identify the spatial structure of sequence stratigraphy, fault systems, igneous diapiric structures, and the distribution of magnetic anomaly stripes in the study area. Combining the above steps, construct the corresponding scenarios of geomorphic and tectonic systems, analyze the dynamic mechanism of the ancient spreading ridge development process, and then establish a geological model of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding construction system to realize the characterization scheme of the ancient spreading ridge construction system. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the geological model of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding tectonic system. Using the scheme of this embodiment, the typical geomorphic unit types and distribution of the ancient spreading ridge study area are identified. In addition, the fault system, igneous diapiric structures and magnetic anomaly stripes of the study area are identified. Corresponding scenes of sequence stratigraphy, geomorphology and tectonic system are constructed, the dynamic mechanism of the ancient spreading ridge development process is analyzed, and then the geological model of the ancient spreading ridge and its surrounding tectonic system is established.
