引言把阿拉伯板块和努比亚板块隔离开来的红海是一个近2000公里长,平均宽度为300公里的狭长凹陷。它相对较深,轴部带超过2000米,它南端几乎封闭,只有较浅的曼德海峡通过亚丁湾将其与印度洋连接起来。虽然红海的研究历史可上溯到十九世纪末,但60年代中期才标志着对红海科学考察的真正开始,在海洋学研究的数量和多样化方面均有增加(表1)。第一个主要结果是证明了轴部裂谷带的玄武质性质,
INTRODUCTION The Red Sea, which separates the Arabian and Nubian plates, is a nearly 2,000-kilometer-long narrow depression with an average width of 300 kilometers. It is relatively deep, with more than 2,000 meters of shaft, which is almost closed at its southern extremity, and only the shallower Strait of Mande, connecting it to the Indian Ocean through the Gulf of Aden. Although the study of the Red Sea dates back to the late 19th century, the mid-60s marked the beginning of a scientific expedition to the Red Sea, with an increase in the number and variety of oceanographic studies (Table 1). The first major result is the demonstration of the basaltic nature of the shaft rift zone,
