郯庐断裂带安丘-莒县断裂江苏段古地震研究新进展

郯庐断裂带是中国东部活动性最强的断裂带,郯庐断裂带江苏段主要由5条分支断层组成,并于更新世强烈活动,其中安丘-莒县断裂持续活动至全新世,是1668年郯城■级特大地震的发震断裂。文中采用古地震探槽方法研究安丘-莒县断裂江苏段全新世以来的古地震事件,并采用¹⁴C测年方法确定古地震的时间。结合前人通过探槽揭露的古地震时间进行综合分析,认为安丘-莒县断裂江苏段全新世以来共有3次古地震事件,时间分别为距今3 000a以来、距今约6 000a和11 000a,垂直同震位移均约1m。1668年郯城8.5级地震在安丘-莒县断裂新沂段山前出露区存在地表破裂的迹象,在隐伏区表现为大量喷砂冒水现象,在探槽揭露的晚全新世地层中有密集的裂缝和砂脉。     

郯庐断裂带安丘-莒县断裂江苏段全新世活动的新证据

安丘-莒县断裂是郯庐断裂带内活动时代最新、地表形迹最明显、地震危险性最大的断裂,也是1668年郯城M8 1/2地震的发震断层。前人对郯城地震的地表破裂向S终止的位置存在多种观点,对该断裂江苏段的全新世活动情况也存在较大争议。文中通过在重岗山西侧和宿迁合欢路北侧开展的探槽开挖工作,发现了该断裂全新世活动的新证据,并对其最新活动时间进行了探讨。重岗山西侧后陈村探槽和宿迁合欢路北侧探槽都表明安丘-莒县断裂江苏段在全新世有过明显活动,推测最新一次古地震事件的发生时间为(4. 853±0. 012)～(2. 92±0. 3) ka BP。最新活动性质以走滑逆冲为主,剖面上获得的最大断错量为1m。未发现1668年郯城M81/2地震的地表破裂带到达江苏段的明确证据。     

郯庐断裂带青峰岭断层上最新一次古地震事件

郯庐断裂是我国东部一条古老而今仍在活动的巨型断裂带,它经历了长期复杂的形成演化过程,对区域构造、沉积古地理、岩浆活动、成矿作用和地震活动等有重要控制作用.其总体走向北北东,一般由2～4条或更多近于平行延伸的断层组成宽达10～40 km的断裂带,切穿中国东部不同性质的大地构造单元,绵延2 400 km以上(方仲景等,1986).1668年7月25日8.5级强烈地震发生在郯庐断裂带中昌邑-大店断层(F1)上,造成了北起莒县南至郯城130 km的地震破裂带(李家灵等,1994;晁洪太等,1995).古地震研究表明,昌邑-大店断层(F1)上,全新世以来共发现了3次、震级相等于8级的古地震事件.最新一次发生在距今3 500 a,重复间隔约为3 500 a(林伟凡,高维明,1987).安丘-莒县断裂(F5)没有参与1668年地震地表破裂,它是一条晚更新世活动断层(郑朗荪等,1988;高维明等,1988;晁洪太等,1994),且被怀疑是公元前70年安丘7级地震的地震断层(晁洪太等,1994).青峰岭断层段是安丘-莒县断裂的组成部分,晚更新世活动强烈,但未发现全新世中晚期活动的证据(宋方敏等,2005).本研究通过对莒县青峰岭地震断层陡坎的考察,用探槽开挖、古地震标志(Yeats,1996;Anthony et al,2003;Klinger et al,2003;邓起东等,1984)识别、第四纪地层年代测试和确定古地震年代的逐次限定的方法(毛凤英,张培震,1995),确定了青峰岭地震断层上最新一次古地震事件的发生年代和破裂参数,突破了郯庐断裂带中段北部没有强烈地震的认识,对郯庐断裂带中段北部潜在地震危险性评价具有重要的科学价值.     

郯庐断裂带近期南段和1668年郯城8．5级地震前中段的中强地震活动比较

通过对郯庐断裂带构造进行分段分析,着重研究了1668年7月25日郯城大地震的背景、发震成因和震前异常,并对郯庐断裂带地震活动进行回顾,对比分析近年该带中南段地震活动图像、应力场特征,对郯庐断裂带南段地震活动特点进行探讨。     

郯庐断裂带中段全新世活断层的特征滑动行为与特征地震

郯庐断裂带中段全新世活断层由３个独立的破裂段组成。从各破裂段的运动性质、位移分布看，断层的运动属特征地震型滑动。地震活动以强震活动为主，强震具有周期性原地重复发生的特点，且其强度基本相同；中强地震缺失或很少发生；ｂ值在高震级范围内具低ｂ值的非线性关系。这些特点正是特征地震的典型表现．根据郯庐断裂带中段活断层全新世以来的活动特点看，未来该区仍然以特征地震方式活动．按郯庐带的强震复发间隔和各段的最新一次活动时代推算，未来一段时期内新沂－宿迁段复发大震的可能性较大，安丘段次之，莒县－郯城段复发大震的可能性则很小。     

月亮山东麓断裂古地震活动的初步研究

月亮山东麓断裂位于海原断裂带的东段。1920年海原大地震时该断裂也发生了破裂。对该段断裂的古地震活动特征的初步研究表明，全新世以来，月亮山东断裂可能发生过5次破裂事件，主要分布在全新世的早期和末期。海原断裂带具有分段破裂的特征，因此需要对照整个断裂带的古地震活动特征，才能确定月亮山东断裂是一个独立的破裂单元还是其他段落破裂的影响段。     

台阵资料反演沂沭断裂破碎带性质

正郯庐断裂带山东段又称沂沭断裂带,发生了中国大陆东部最大历史地震,即1668年郯城级地震,安丘—莒县断裂是其主要的破裂段;该断裂现代小震密集成带,显示深部破裂区仍未愈合。野外考察显示,位于莒南县左山次级破裂段出露长度8 km,走向N15—20°E,倾向南东,倾角70°—80°,其中位于莒南县岭泉镇左山村西的地震断层遗址显示,山脊断错接近10 m。沂沭断裂带作为郯庐深大断裂的一部分,由4条主干断裂组成了"两堑夹一垒"构造形     

蒙古阿尔泰东缘新发现的地震地表破裂带

阿尔泰构造带的活动断裂主要为NW—NNW向。按构造位置可分为阿尔泰西缘活动断裂带、阿尔泰中央活动断裂带和阿尔泰东缘活动断裂带。阿尔泰东缘活动构造带由科布多(Hovd)活动断裂带、哈尔乌苏湖(Har Us)活动断裂带2条大型右旋走滑活动断裂和中间的挤压盆地带构成。在2条走滑断裂带上,前人发现多处地震地表破裂带。通过对阿尔泰东缘构造带中南段地区的野外调查,在哈尔乌苏湖断裂带中段的Jargalant断裂、科布多断裂带南段的Tugen gol断裂上新发现地震地表破裂带。其中,沿Jargalant断裂地震地表破裂带长约50km,右旋位错量约4~5m,是一次规模大、活动较新的破裂事件。可见,在阿尔泰东缘活动断裂带的不同断裂段上均有保存较好的地震地表破裂,显示阿尔泰东缘是活动强烈的地震构造带     

汶川8.0级地震及余震破裂的地质构造特征

汶川8.0级地震是发生在龙门山断裂带上的大地震,文中应用地震地表破裂调查资料、余震分布和震源机制资料,论述了该次地震的主破裂、次级破裂、触发破裂等方面的地质特征.认为该次地震的主破裂长约200 km,分为南、北两段.南段以逆冲破裂为主,由两条破裂带构成,并引起上盘多条近平行的次级断裂带的破裂;北段以右旋逆冲破裂为主,由单条破裂带构成;在主破裂的东北方向,触发了长约100 km的余震活动.汶川8.0级地震的破裂特征,对研究龙门山断裂带其他段落的强震危险性具有重要意义.     

2004年西藏懂错M_S 5.6地震的宏观烈度调查与控震构造分析

地表调查结果表明,发生在西藏中部的2004年懂错MS5.6地震的极震区位于懂错东侧的贡巴淌—怕尔淌之间,最大烈度为Ⅶ度,宏观震中的地理坐标:31.70°N,91.26°E。此次地震是懂错盆地东缘边界断裂活动的结果。该断裂带是一条长40km左右、NNE走向的全新世活动正断层,在断裂带的北段发育可能形成于全新世晚期的古地震地表破裂带。地表的晚第四纪断裂活动和近期的地震活动特征显示,蓬错-懂错-错那-安多地堑系构成了西藏中部一个重要的长约120km的NE向地震活动带,其北段和中南段是其中应变积累时间更长的地段     

NEW EVIDENCES FOR LATE QUATERNARY ACTIVITY IN THE SOUTHERN SEGMENT OF THE YISHU-TANGTOU FAULT,THE TAN-LU FAULT ZONE,AND ITS TECTONIC IMPLICATION

The Tan-Lu Fault Zone(TLFZ), a well-known lithosphere fault zone in eastern China, is a boundary tectonic belt of the secondary block within the North China plate, and its seismic risk has always been a focus problem. Previous studies were primarily conducted on the eastern graben faults of the Yishu segment where there are historical earthquake records, but the faults in western graben have seldom been involved. So, there has been no agreement about the activity of the western graben fault from the previous studies. This paper focuses on the activity of the two buried faults in the western graben along the southern segment of Yishu through combination of shallow seismic reflection profile and composite drilling section exploration. Shallow seismic reflection profile reveals that the Tangwu-Gegou Fault(F₄)only affects the top surface of Suqian Formation, therefore, the fault may be an early Quaternary fault. The Yishui-Tangtou Fault(F₃)has displaced the upper Pleistocene series in the shallow seismic reflection profile, suggesting that the fault may be a late Pleistocene active fault. Drilling was implemented in Caiji Town and Lingcheng Town along the Yishui-Tangtou Fault(F₃)respectively, and the result shows that the latest activity time of Yishui-Tangtou Fault(F₃)is between(91.2±4.4)ka and(97.0±4.8)ka, therefore, the fault belongs to late Pleistocene active fault. Combined with the latest research on the activity of other faults along TLFZ, both faults in eastern and western graben were active during the late Pleistocene in the southern segment of the Yishu fault zone, however, only the fault in eastern graben was active in the Holocene. This phenomenon is the tectonic response to the subduction of the Pacific and Philippine Sea Plate and collision between India and Asian Plate. The two late Quaternary active faults in the Yishu segment of TLFZ are deep faults and present different forms on the surface and in near surface according to studies of deep seismic reflection profile, seismic wave function and seismic relocation. Considering the tectonic structure of the southern segment of Yishu fault zone, the relationship between deep and shallow structures, and the impact of 1668 Tancheng earthquake(M=8(1/2)), the seismogenic ability of moderate-strong earthquake along the Yishui-Tangtou Fault(F₃)can't be ignored.     

莱州湾海域郯庐断裂带活断层探测

利用浅地层剖面仪对郯庐断裂带莱州湾段进行了活断层探测,发现郯庐断裂带主干断裂在第四纪晚期以来具有明显的活动,继承了晚第三纪以来的主要构造活动特点,仍是这一区域的主导性构造. 西支KL3断裂由多条高角度正断裂组成,最新活动时代为晚更新世晚期至全新世早期,受到一系列错断晚更新世晚期沉积的北东或近东西向断裂的切割;东支龙口断裂由两段右阶斜列的次级断层组成,沿断裂带不但有明显的晚第四纪断错活动,而且还发育北北东向晚第四纪生长褶皱,表现出明显的晚更新世晚期至全新世活动特征. 在山东陆地区也发现了与龙口断裂相对应的安丘——莒县断裂,安丘段由一系列右阶斜列的次级断层组成. 从安丘向北至莱州湾凹陷,郯庐断裂带东支活断层构成了一条右旋单剪变形带,每一个次级活断层段相当于带内理论上次级压剪面,在第四纪晚期以来仍以右旋走滑活动为主要特征.      

EVIDENCE OF HOLOCENE ACTIVITY DISCOVERED IN ANHUI ZIYANGSHAN SEGMENT OF TANLU FAULT ZONE

Anqiu-Juxian Fault(F₅) is the latest active fault in the eastern graben of the middle segment of the Tanlu fault zone. In recent years, the research results of F₅ in Jiangsu Province are abundant, and it is found that Holocene activity is prevalent in different segments, and the movement pattern is dominated by dextral strike-slip and squeezing thrust. The Anhui segment and the Jiangsu segment of the Tan-Lu fault zone are bounded by the Huaihe River. Previous studies have not discussed the extension and activity of F₅ in the south of the Huaihe River in Anhui Province. This paper chooses the Ziyangshan segment of Tanlu fault zone in the south of the Huaihe River as the breakthrough point, which is consistent with the linear image feature of extension of F₅ in Jiangsu Province. Through the remote sensing image interpretation, geological and geomorphological investigation and trench excavation, we initially get the following understanding:(1)The linear structural features of the Ziyang segment are clear, and the fault is developed on the gentle slope of the Mesozoic red sandstone uplift along the Fushan-Ziyangshan, which is the southern extension of the Anqiu-Juxian Fault(F₅); (2)The excavation of the Zhuliu trench reveals that the late Pleistocene clastic layers are interrupted, and the late late Pleistocene to early Holocene black clay layers are filled along the fault to form black fault strips and black soil-filled wedges, indicating that the latest active age of the fault is early Holocene; (3)The excavation of Zhuliu trench reveals that there are at least 3 paleo-earthquake events since the Quaternary, the first paleo-seismic event is dated to the early and middle Quaternary, and the 2nd paleo-seismic event is 20.10~13.46ka BP, the age of the third paleo-seismic event is(10.15±0.05)~(8.16±0.05)ka BP. These results complement our understanding of the late Quaternary activity in the Anhui segment of the Tanlu fault zone, providing basic data for earthquake monitoring and seismic damage prevention in Anhui Province.     

STUDY ON THE LATEST ACTIVITY OF WUYUNSHAN-HEFEI FAULT IN HEFEI BASIN,THE WESTERN BRANCH OF THE TANLU FAULT ZONE

Tanlu fault zone is the largest strike-slip fault system in eastern China. Since it was discovered by aeromagnetics in 1960s, it has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad, and a lot of research has been done on its formation and evolution. At the same time, the Tanlu fault zone is also the main seismic structural zone in China, with an obvious characteristic of segmentation of seismicity. Major earthquakes are mostly concentrated in the Bohai section and Weifang-Jiashan section. For example, the largest earthquake occurring in the Bohai section is M7.4 earthquake, and the largest earthquake occurring in the Weifang-Jiashan section is M8.5 earthquake. Therefore, the research on the active structure of the Tanlu fault zone is mainly concentrated in these two sections. With the deepening of research, some scholars carried out a lot of research on the middle section of Tanlu fault zone, which is distributed in Shandong and northern Jiangsu Province, including five nearly parallel fault systems, i.e. Changyi-Dadian Fault(F₁), Baifenzi-Fulaishan Fault(F₂), Yishui-Tangtou Fault(F₃), Tangwu-Gegou Fault(F₄) and Anqiu-Juxian Fault(F₅). They find that the faults F₃ and F₅ are still active since the late Quaternary. In recent years, we have got a further understanding of the geometric distribution, active age and active nature of Fault F₅, and found that it is still active in Holocene. At the same time, the latest research on the extension of F₅ into Anhui suggests that there is a late Pleistocene-Holocene fault existing near the Huaihe River in Anhui Province. The Tanlu fault zone extends into Anhui Province and the extension section is completely buried, especially in the Hefei Basin south of Dingyuan. At present, there is little research on the activity of this fault segment, and it is very difficult to study its geometric structure and active nature, and even whether the fault exists has not been clear. Precisely determining the distribution, active properties and the latest active time of the hidden faults under urban areas is of great significance not only for studying the rupture behavior and segmentation characteristics of the southern section of the Tanlu fault zone, but also for providing important basis for urban seismic fortification. By using the method of shallow seismic prospecting and the combined drilling geological section, this paper carries out a detailed exploration and research on the Wuyunshan-Hefei Fault, the west branch fault of Tanlu fault zone buried in Hefei Basin. Four shallow seismic prospecting lines and two rows of joint borehole profiles are laid across the fault in Hefei urban area from north to south. Using ¹⁴C, OSL and ESR dating methods, ages of 34 samples of borehole stratigraphic profiles are obtained. The results show that the youngest stratum dislocated by the Wuyunshan-Hefei Fault is the Mesopleistocene blue-gray clay layer, and its activity is characterized by reverse faulting, with a maximum vertical offset of 2.4m. The latest active age is late Mesopleistocene, and the depth of the shallowest upper breaking point is 17m. This study confirms that the west branch of Tanlu fault zone cuts through Hefei Basin and is still active since Quaternary. Its latest activity age in Hefei Basin is late of Middle Pleistocene, and the latest activity is characterized by thrusting. The research results enrich the understanding of the overall activity of Tanlu fault zone in the buried section of Hefei Basin and provide reliable basic data for earthquake monitoring, prediction and earthquake damage prevention in Anhui Province.     

Active fault survey on the Tanlu fault zone in Laizhou Bay

Introduction The Tanlu fault zone, the largest active structure in the eastern region of China, is character-ized by right lateral strike-slip movement with dip-slip component in the Quaternary; it shows great significance for the modern seismicity (FANG et al, 1976; Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, 1987; GAO et al, 1980; MA, 1987; LI, 1989; CHAO et al, 1995). The Tanlu fault zone is the boundary between the Jiaoliao block and the North China Plain block of …     

NEW EVIDENCES OF THE HOLOCENE FAULT IN SUQIAN SEGMENT OF THE TANLU FAULT ZONE DISCOVERED BY SHALLOW SEISMIC EXPLORATION METHOD

The fault F₅ is considered as the most active fault in the Tanlu fault zone(Yi-Shu fault zone), which is located from Weifang of Shandong Province to Jiashan of Anhui Province, with a length of 360km. It has always been a focus of concern to many geoscientists because of its complexity and importance. But, for a long period of time, there exists biggish indetermination in the accurate position and active ages of the fault F₅ in Suqian section of Tanlu fault zone. Seismic reflection exploration is the main technique in present urban active faults detecting. In order to investigate the spatial distribution, characteristics and activities of the fault F₅ in covered terrains, we carried out a systematic survey to the fault with shallow seismic prospecting method and obtained the accurate position and development characteristics of the fault. The results show that the fault F₅ continues to develop toward south rather than ending at the Huancheng South Road of Suqian City. F₅ is mainly composed of two main faults, which dip in opposite directions and almost vertically. Near the Sankeshu town, F₅ is composed of three faults with right-stepping, forming a small pull-apart basin with length of 6km, width of 2.5km, controlling the deposition of Neogene and Quaternary strata. By combining the results of composite drilling section and trenching, we make a conclusion that the western branch of fault F₅ is a Holocene active fault, and the eastern branch is a Pleistocene active fault. Our general view is that fault F₅ is a Holocene active fault.     

沂沭断裂带安丘-莒县断裂安丘-朱里段几何结构与活动特征

安丘-莒县断裂是沂沭断裂带最主要的活动断裂,对强震的发生具有明显的控制作用。该断裂的安丘—朱里段由南流段、双官—眉村段和朱里段3条右阶斜列的次级断裂所组成,以右旋走滑活动为主,兼有正断或逆冲活动分量;其最新活动时代推断为晚更新世—全新世早期。根据断裂活动性的最新研究成果,认为在莒县至昌邑之间安丘-莒县断裂仍是占主导地位的活动断裂,与公元前70年安丘7级地震的发生具有密切关系     

Neotectonic activity and formation mechanism of the Yishu Fault Zone

On the basis of comprehensive analyses of fault textures and geometry, the active methods, stress field, mechanism and time of the Yishu Fault Zone during the neotectonic period are discussed in this paper. The results show that the Yishu Fault Zone is a major mobile belt since the Quaternary. It consists of four major active faults with reverse dextral slip. Their active intensity increases eastwards and southwards. Fault-slip data from many active faults in the fault zone demonstrate that ENE-WSW compression predominated in the neotectonic period. Detailed field investigation shows that formation mechanism of shallow, active faults in the Yishu Fault Zone includes direct boundary fault reactivity, buried fault propagation, and reactivity of antithetic and truncating faults. In most cases, shallow, active faults in the fault zone are developed through direct reactivity or upward propagation of the previous four graben boundary faults.     

THE CRUSTAL SHALLOW STRUCTURES AND FAULT ACTIVITY DETECTION IN XINYI SECTION OF TAN-LU FAULT ZONE

The Tan-Lu fault zone is the largest active tectonic zone in eastern China, with a complex history of formation and evolution, and it has a very important control effect on the regional structure, magmatic activity, the formation and distribution of mineral resources and modern seismic activity in eastern China. Xinyi City has a very important position as a segmental node in the Shandong and Suwan sections of the Tan-Lu fault zone. Predecessors have conducted research on the spatial distribution, occurrence and activity characteristics of the shallow crustal faults in the Suqian section of the Tan-Lu belt, and have obtained some new scientific understandings and results. However, due to different research objectives or limitations of research methods, previous researches have either focused on the deep crustal structure, or targeted on the Suqian section or other regions. However, the structural style and deep-shallow structural association characteristics of Xinyi section of Tan-Lu belt have not been well illustrated, nor its activity and spatial distribution have been systematically studied. In order to investigate the shallow crustal structure features, the fault activities, the spatial distribution and the relationship between deep and shallow structures of the Xinyi section of the Tan-Lu Fault, we used a method combining mid-deep/shallow seismic reflection exploration and first-break wave imaging. Firstly, a mid-deep seismic reflection profile with a length of 33km and a coverage number greater than 30 was completed in the south of Xinyi City. At the same time, using the first arrival wave on the common shot record, the tomographic study of the shallow crust structure was carried out. Secondly, three shallow seismic reflection profiles and one refraction tomography profile with high resolution across faults were presented. The results show that the Xinyi section of Tan-Lu fault zone is a fault zone composed of five concealed main faults, with a structural pattern of “two grabens sandwiched by a barrier”. The five main faults reveal more clearly the structural style of “one base between two cuts” of the Tan-Lu fault zone. From west to east, the distribution is as follows: on the west side, there are two high-angle faults, F₄ and F₃, with a slot-shaped fault block falling in the middle, forming the western graben. In the middle, F₃ and F₂, two normal faults with opposite dip directions, are bounded and the middle discontinuity disk rises relatively to form a barrier. On the east side, F₂ and F₁, two conjugate high-angle faults, constitute the eastern graben. The mid-deep and shallow seismic reflection profiles indicate that the main faults of the Xinyi section of Tan-Lu fault zone have a consistent upper-lower relationship and obvious Quaternary activities, which play a significant role in controlling the characteristics of graben-barrier structure and thickness of Cenozoic strata. The shape of the reflective interface of the stratum and the characteristics of the shallow part of the fault revealed by shallow seismic reflection profiles are clear. The Mohe-Lingcheng Fault, Xinyi-Xindian Fault, Malingshan-Chonggangshan Fault and Shanzuokou-Sihong Fault not only broke the top surface of the bedrock, but also are hidden active faults since Quaternary, especially the Malingshan-Chonggangshan Fault which shows strong activity characteristics of Holocene. The results of this paper provide a seismological basis for an in-depth understanding of the deep dynamics process of Xinyi City and its surrounding areas, and for studying the deep-shallow tectonic association and its activity in the the Xinyi section of the Tan-Lu Fault.     

Seismites in the Dasheng Group: New evidence of strong tectonic and earthquake activities of the Tanlu Fault Zone

More than 80 layers of seismites were recognized from the Early Cretaceous Dasheng Group in the Mazhan and Tancheng graben basins in the Tanlu Fault Zone, eastern China. The responsible seismic events took place about 110–100 Ma in the Early Cretaceous. The fault zone was affected at the time by strong tectonics, due to tension-related stretching and scattered squeezing by strike-slip faults. These tectonic activities induced a series of strong earthquakes with Richter magnitudes(M) of 5–8.5. The earthquakes affected saturated or semi-consolidated flood and lake sediments, and produced intra-layer deformations by several processes, including liquefaction, thixotropy, drop, faulting, cracking, filling and folding, which resulted in the formation of various soft-sediment deformation structures, such as dikes and veins of liquefied sand, liquefied breccias, liquefied homogeneous layers, load structures, flame structures, ball-and-pillow structures, boudinage, diapirs, fissure infillings, a giant conglomerate wedge, and syn-sedimentary faults. The seismites are new evidence of tectonic and seismic activities in the Tanlu Fault Zone during the Early Cretaceous; the series of strong seismic events that can be deduced from them must be considered as a response to the destruction of the North China Craton.
