2021年云南漾濞MS6.4地震序列发震构造及其与2013年洱源、2017年漾濞地震的异同

2021年5月21日云南漾濞发生M_S6.4地震.为深入了解该地震的发震断层及发震构造特征,探讨其与2013年洱源与2017年漾濞地震发震构造及背景的异同,本文基于中国地震台网中心的观测报告,使用双差方法对漾濞地震序列进行重定位,并从全球矩心矩张量(GCMT)和美国地质调查局(USGS)搜集了9个震源机制解计算了震源区构造应力场,初步得到如下结论:(1)2021年漾濞地震序列呈NW-SE向展布且SE端余震数量多于NW端,余震区地壳应力不均匀释放,致使5.0级及以上地震周边余震稀少;4个5.0级及以上地震初始破裂深度大于矩心深度,推测发震断层是从断裂底部向浅部破裂.(2)发震断裂是维西—乔后—巍山断裂西南侧的未知断裂F2、F3,其走向NW-SE、倾向SW、倾角近垂直,具有右旋走滑特征.其中F2贯穿整个地震序列,长约30 km,F3主要发育在中南段,长约11 km,两条发震断层相交于地震丛集中间位置.(3)震源区构造应力场是走滑的应力机制,呈SSE向(174.57°)低倾伏角(18.79°)挤压,及SWW向(-93.65°)近水平(5.21°)拉张状态.震源区的发震构造受川滇块体与滇南块体形成的右旋走滑边界控制.(4)这3个地震均发生在川滇块体右旋走滑西南边界形成的走滑应力机制作用背景下.2013年洱源地震可能更多的受控于局部构造的垂向差异运动;2017年漾濞地震仅受到川滇块体西南边界的右旋走滑作用;2021年漾濞地震则主要受控于川滇块体西南边界的右旋走滑运动,还存在少量局部构造垂向差异运动作用.     

云南地区中小地震震源机制及构造应力场研究

利用云南数字地震台网记录的区域波形资料， 通过波形反演确定了发生在云南地区的33次中小地震的震源机制. 结果表明，在川滇菱形块体内部及边界附近的地震以走滑为主，由震源机制得到的主压应力方向从北到南由北北西-南南东方向转向近南北向，张应力轴方向则主要表现为北东东-南西西或北东 南西向；在青藏高原东部地区，主压应力方向从青藏高原内部向外成放射状展布，张应力方向大多与该地区的弧形构造平行. 在28N附近地区，主压应力轴和张应力轴方向都存在较大的变化，其分界线似与龙门山断裂向西南方向的延长线相对应. 川滇菱形块体之外的地震的主压应力轴和张应力轴方向与块体内部的方向存在一定的差异. 通过与哈佛大学中强地震震源机制结果的对比发现，云南地区中小地震震源机制的反演结果与强震震源机制的结果有较好的一致性，表明中小地震的震源机制可用于该地区区域构造应力场的研究.      

于田2008年和2014年两次MS7.3地震孕育的应力环境

2008年3月21日新疆于田发生M_S7.3级地震,2014年2月12日于田再次发生M_S7.3级地震,两次地震相距约110 km.但是,前者震源机制为正断层,后者震源机制为左旋走滑断层.为进一步探讨这两次地震的孕育应力环境、发震机制及其动力学成因,本文进行三维有限元数值试验分析,计算了该区域在GPS约束条件下的速度场、应力和应变场变化,并与实际观测资料进行对比.数值计算得到的区域内几条主要大的走滑断层错动性质,与实际地质观察到的断层左旋或右旋性质吻合,验证了计算结果的可靠性.结果表明于田及其临近区域整体上处于北东-南西向挤压和北西-南东向拉张状态.在GPS速度约束条件下,2008年于田地震震中区域最大主张应变率大于最大主压应变率,处于以拉张为主的应力状态,NE走向断层受到北东-南西方向的拉应力作用,从而形成正断层;2014年于田地震处于拉张应变率与压应变率几乎一致的区域,NEE走向断层在NE-SW主压应力和NW-SE主张应力作用下发生左旋走滑.     

西昆仑东段震源机制和构造应力场特征

本文利用新疆测震台网记录的宽频带波形数据，采用CAP方法反演西昆仑东段2010年1月—2018年12月M_S≥3.0地震震源机制，并结合研究区早期的震源机制数据分区反演构造应力场。结果表明:研究区地震破裂类型以逆断型和走滑型为主，其次为正断型，过渡型最少；震源机制节面在NWW向存在明显优势分布且倾角较陡，压应力P轴在NNE向有优势分布且倾角较小，张应力T轴在NW-SE向有优势分布且倾角较小，说明研究区总体上主要以NNE向的水平挤压和NW-SE向水平拉张作用为主；西南区域应力结构为走滑型，东北区域应力结构为逆断型，最大主应力轴σ₁方位的最优解都呈NNE向，但西南区域更偏东，东北区域水平作用更明显。东北区域的应力形因子R值较小，体现该区域的物质隆升相对于西南区域物质隆升分量大。     

2013年8月香格里拉德钦—得荣M_S5.9地震序列震源机制与应力场特征

利用中国区域台网地震波形记录,采用CAP方法反演了香格里拉德钦(位于云南省)—得荣(属于四川省)2013年8月28日MS5.1、8月31日MS5.9地震及8次MS4余震的震源双力偶断层面解和震源质心深度.结合震区地质构造、余震分布、烈度分布、动力学背景等资料,分析了此次地震序列的震源机制和应力场特征.反演结果表明,此次地震序列为节面倾角倾斜的正断层型地震,发震断层为NWW向活动构造带.序列中最大地震MS5.9和次大地震MS5.1地震的破裂节面分别为走向299°、倾角53°、滑动角-73°;走向290°、倾角55°、滑动角-72°.震源区受到强烈的水平拉张力、垂直挤压力作用.MS5.9地震后续余震T、P轴方位角随时间变化强烈,表明MS5.9地震后震源区应力调整作用明显.震源区应力场反演结果显示,地震发生的构造带上最大主拉应力为NNE-SSW向,最大主压应力为NW-SE向,与GPS观测所反映的地表最大主应力分布方向基本一致,表明震源区的应力状态可能主要受到背景大尺度构造应力场的控制.此次地震序列填充了川滇地区震源机制及应力场的空间分布图像,1976年以来可靠的震源机制解资料表明香格里拉次级块体是川滇块体及周边区域显著的拉张作用区域.香格里拉次级块体和保山次级块体正断层地震的断层节面及震源应力轴分布的空间变化,与GPS观测反映的地表最大主拉应力分布较一致,其空间分布特征反映了在青藏高原物质挤出背景下,块体之间相互作用、地势差异等作用对构造活动的影响.     

鄂尔多斯周缘地壳应力场研究

收集了鄂尔多斯周缘的297个震源机制解数据,应用震源机制解反演应力场的网格搜索法分区反演该地块周缘地区平均应力场。应力场反演结果显示:该地块周缘地区地壳应力场总体表现为NE-SW向的主压应力,NW-SE向的主张应力。北缘的河套活动断陷带处于ENE-WSW向的水平挤压和NNW-SSE向的水平拉张共同作用的应力状态。南缘的渭河断陷带处于近NS向的水平拉张应力状态。东缘的山西断陷盆地带处于NNW-SSE向的水平拉张应力状态。在地块西面,主压应力轴方向由南段的ENE向逐渐向中段逆时针转为近NE向,继而往北转为NNE向。应力场反演结果和鄂尔多斯地块NS两侧呈EW向展布的断陷带表现为左旋剪切拉张带以及EW两侧呈NNE向展布的断陷带则表现为右旋剪切拉张带的性质一致。本研究结果与前人的研究结果一致性较好,说明了结果的可靠性。     

2021年6月10日云南双柏地震序列发震构造分析

本文基于云南地震台网数据,对2021年6月10日云南双柏地震序列进行重新定位,并对序列中4次M_S≥3.5地震的震源机制解和震源区构造应力场进行了反演,研究了双柏地震序列时空分布特征和发震构造.地震重定位结果显示,双柏地震序列空间上呈NNE-SSW向优势分布,发震断层较为陡立,震源深度集中分布于5～15 km范围内,震源深度表现为南浅北深的特征.M_S5.1地震后余震序列在时空上呈现出不对称的双侧发展模式,M_S4.6地震前后余震沿SSW向存在往返迁移现象.反演得到的序列震源机制解类型均为走滑型,都具有与序列优势分布一致的NNE走向、高倾角SEE倾向节面.构造应力场反演表明震源区受到NNW向水平挤压和NEE向水平拉张的构造应力作用.结合重定位结果和序列震源机制分析认为,双柏地震序列与附近的楚雄—建水断裂等无关,其发震构造为一条NNE走向、SEE倾向的高倾角左旋走滑断裂,构造形成受控于川滇菱形块体SSE向整体运动产生的NNW向挤压构造应力作用.     

2021年10月15日内蒙古阿鲁科尔沁旗4.7级地震发震构造研究

2021年10月15日,内蒙古赤峰市阿鲁科尔沁旗发生4.7级地震,该地震是继2003年8月16日阿鲁科尔沁旗5.9级地震后,该区发生的第二次中等以上地震。使用CAP方法获取本次地震的震源机制解,将其与2003年5.9级地震的震源机制解比较发现,两次地震震源机制解结果基本一致,节面Ⅱ走向均为NW,且两次地震余震序列走向均为NW向展布,结合地质构造资料,判定两次地震的发震构造均为水泉子沟—天山口断裂。通过对2012年以来震源区及其附近区域的22个M_L≥3.5地震的可靠震源机制解的研究分析,发现通辽至阿鲁科尔沁旗一带震源机制解类型均为走滑型,应力场反演结果显示该区应力场受NNW向拉张和NEE向挤压联合作用,应力形因子R为0.7,表明近EW向的中间应力轴也具有拉张性质,构造环境以拉张作用为主。本次4.7级地震可能是在NNW向和近EW向拉张以及NEE向挤压的作用力下,水泉子沟—天山口断裂发生正走滑错动形成的一次中等强度地震。     

Seismicity constraints on stress regimes along Sinai subplate boundaries

The relative movement between African, Arabian and Eurasian plates has significantly controlled the tectonic process of Sinai subplate region, although its kinematics and precise boundaries are still doubtful. The respective subplate bounded on both sides by the Aqaba-Dead Sea transform fault to the east and the Gulf of Suez, the only defined part, to the west. Seismicity parameters, moment magnitude relation and fault plane solutions were combined to determine the active tectonics along the aforementioned boundaries. Seven shallow seismogenic zones were defined by the heterogeneity in stress field orientations. Along the eastern boundary, the average fault plane solution obtained from the moment tensor summation (MTS) reveals a sinistral strike-slip faulting mechanism. The corresponding seismic strain rate tensor showed that the present tectonic stress producing earthquakes along the boundary is dominated by both NW-SE compression and NE-SW dilatation. Towards the north, the average focal mechanism showed a normal faulting mechanism of N185°E compression and an N94°E extension in the Carmel Fairi seismic zone. On the other hand, the active crustal deformation along the western boundary (Gulf of Suez region) showed a prevailing tensional stress regime of NE to ENE orientations; producing an average fault plane solution of normal faulting mechanism. The seismic strain rate tensor reveals a dominant stress regime of N58°E extension and N145°E compression in consistence with the general tectonic nature in northeastern Africa. Finally, the extensional to strike-slip stress regimes obtained in the present study emphasize that the deformation accommodated along the Sinai subplate boundaries are in consistence with the kinematics models along the plate boundaries representing the northern extremity part of the Red Sea region.     

震源机制与应力体系关系模拟研究

为理解震源机制和所作用的应力张量之间的关系,模拟了东西向挤压、垂直向拉张的挤压应力体系,南北向挤压、东西向拉张的走滑应力体系和垂直向挤压、东西向拉张的拉张应力体系所产生震源机制及其剪应力和正应力的表现.结果表明:挤压应力体系可以产生逆断型、走滑型和逆走滑型的震源机制,并随着应力形因子R的增大,逆断型震源机制数目逐渐减小,而走滑型和逆走滑型震源机制数目逐渐增加;走滑应力体系兼有各种类型的震源机制,随着R值的增大,正断型和正走滑型震源机制数目逐渐减小,而逆断型和逆走滑型震源机制数目逐渐增加;拉张应力体系兼有正断型、走滑型和正走滑型震源机制,随着R值的增加,正断型震源机制数目逐渐增加,而走滑型和正走滑型震源机制数目逐渐减小.挤压应力体系在震源机制节面上的最大剪应力分布在R=0时沿倾角45°分布,随着R值增大至1,逐渐演变为沿着以(0°,90°)和(180°,90°)为中心的圆弧分布;拉张应力体系的最大剪应力分布则随着R值自0增大至1,最大剪应力自以(0°,90°)和(180°,90°)为中心的圆弧分布逐渐演变为沿倾角45°分布;走滑应力体系则随着R值自0增大至1,最大剪应力自以(0°,90°)和(180°,90°)为中心的圆弧分布逐渐演变为以(90°,90°)为中心的圆弧分布.三种应力体系所表现的震源机制P,T轴分布呈现复杂多样性:R越小,震源机制的T轴分布在拉张主应力周围的区域范围越小,而P轴分布在挤压轴周围的区域范围越大,R=0.5时两者分布区域范围均衡,R超过0.5时越接近1,震源机制的P轴分布在挤压主应力周围的区域范围越小,而T轴分布在拉张轴附近的区域范围越大.     

云南禄劝地震震源处的应力场求解

采用前人反演得到的云南禄劝地震的地震矩张量和主震及部分余震的震源机制解,以该主震震中为中心在全球CMT目录中查询到的部分地震的震源机制解,先将地震矩张量转化为震源机制解,运用精细网格搜索反演方法将震源机制解反演得到禄劝地震和其周边地区的应力场。对反演得出的两个应力场进行差异性对比研究,结果表明禄劝地震震源处主压应力场为NNW—SSE向,主压应力与主张应力相当,周边地区的主压应力方向为NW—SE,断层破裂面倾角大,以走滑正断层为主,主压应力占优势。但是由于云南地区主要由NNW—SSE和NW—SE方向的主压应力控制,并受本文所选的周边地区的经纬度及所处地区的控制,所以该区域在总体上受NW—SE方向的压应力控制,局部地区受NNW—SSE方向的压应力控制。该结果可以用来分析该地区的地震地质背景和断层形成条件,对地球动力环境的研究有一定的意义。     

EARTHQUAKE FOCAL MECANISMS IN THE DALIANGSHAN SUB-BLOCK AND ADJACENT AREAS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE REGIONAL STRESS FIELD

The Daliangshan sub-block is a boundary region among the Bayan Har block, the Sichuan-Yunnan block and the South China block. It hosts four major fault systems:The southwest to south trending Xianshuihe-Zemuhe Fault zone in the west, the Longmenshan fault zone is the northern boundary, the Zhaotong-Lianfeng fault zone in the south, and the NS-trending Mabian-Yanjin fault zone in the east. This study focused on focal mechanisms and the regional stress field of the Daliangshan sub-block to help understand the earthquake preparation process, tectonic deformation and seismic stress interaction in this area. We collected broadband waveform records from the Sichuan Seismic Network and used multiple 1-D velocity models to determine the focal mechanisms of moderate and large earthquakes(M_L ≥ 3.5)in the Daliangshan sub-block by using the CAP method. Results for 276 earthquakes from Jan 2010 to Aug 2016 show that the earthquakes are dominated by strike-slip and trust faulting, very few events have normal faulting and the mixed type. We then derived the regional distribution of the stress field through a damp linear inversion(DRSSI)using the focal mechanisms obtained in this study. Inversion results for the spatial pattern of the stress field in the block suggest that the entire region is predominantly under strike-slip and trust faulting regimes, largely consistent with the focal mechanisms. The direction of maximum compression axes is NW-NWW, and part of the area is slightly rotated, which is consistent with the GPS velocity field. Combining geodynamic background, this work suggests that because the Sichuan-Yunnan block is moving to SE and the Tibetan plateau to SE-E along major strike-slip faults, the stress field of the Daliangshan sub-block and its adjacent regions is controlled jointly by the Bayan Har block, the Sichuan-Yunnan block and the South China block.     

帕米尔—兴都库什地区构造应力场反演及拆离板片应力形因子特征研究

从Global CMT目录搜集了1976年1月至2016年6月之间的震源深度大于70km的255个震源机制解,用阻尼应力反演方法,分70～160km和170～310km两个深度,计算了帕米尔—兴都库什地区的构造应力场;同时以10km为间隔计算了兴都库什地区深度介于70～310km之间的应力形因子.得到以下初步结论:兴都库什板片向下俯冲和帕米尔地区断裂带的横向拉张,可能是导致应力场不同的原因.兴都库什俯冲带与帕米尔俯冲带碰撞,导致交汇地区(37°N—37.5°N)的应力场参数突变.兴都库什俯冲板片受到深部温度、压力等因素,出现薄弱面进而形成拆离板片.其脱离了主俯冲板片的束缚后,重力的上下拉张作用导致空区附近张轴倾伏角接近90°,拆离板片俯冲至上地幔不连续面,导致板片部分熔融进而应力形因子随着深度变小.而拆离板片受到地幔挤压其内部发生破碎,其压应力轴由西部的NS到东部NW-SE方向偏转及纵向张应力轴倾伏角变小.     

Late Cenozoic faulting in SW Bulgaria: Fault geometry,kinematics and driving stress regimes. Implications for late orogenic processes in the Hellenic hinterland

We investigate the geometry and kinematics of the faults exposed in basement rocks along the Strouma River in SW Bulgaria as well as the sequence of faulting events in order to place constraints on the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of this structurally complex domain. In order to decipher the successive stress fields that prevailed during the tectonic history, we additionally carried out an analysis of mesoscale striated faults in terms of paleostress with a novel approach. This approach is based on the P–T axes distribution of the fault-slip data, and separates the fault-slip data into different groups which are characterized by kinematic compatibility, i.e., their P and T axes have similar orientations. From these fault groups, stress tensors are resolved and in case these stress tensors define similar stress regimes (i.e., the orientations of the stress axes and the stress shape ratios are similar) then the fault groups are further unified. The merged fault groups after being filled out with those fault-slip data that have not been incorporated into the above described grouping, but which present similar geometric and kinematic features are used for defining the final stress regimes. In addition, the sequence of faulting events was constrained by available tectonostratigraphic data.Five faulting events named D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 are distinguished since the Late Oligocene. D1 is a pure compression stress regime with σ₁ stress axis trending NNE-SSW that mainly activated the WNW-ESE to ENE-WSW faults as reverse to oblique reverse and the NNW-SSE striking as right-lateral oblique contractional faults during the Latest Oligocene-Earliest Miocene. D2 is a strike-slip − transpression stress regime with σ₁ stress axis trending NNE-SSW that mainly activated the NNW-SSE to N-S striking as right-lateral strike-slip faults and the ENE-WSW striking faults as left-lateral strike-slip ones during the Early-Middle Miocene. D3 extensional event is associated with a NW-SE to WNW-ESE extension causing the activation of mainly low-angle normal faults of NE-SW strike and NNE-SSW to NNW-SSE striking high-angle normal faults. D4 is an extensional event dated from Late Miocene to Late Pliocene. It activated NNW-SSE to NW-SE faults as normal faults and E-W to WNW-ESE faults as right-lateral oblique extensional faults. The latest D5 event is an N-S extensional stress regime that dominates the wider area of SW Bulgaria in Quaternary times. It mainly activated faults that generally strike E-W (ENE-WSW and WNW-ESE) normal faults, along which fault-bounded basins developed. The D1 and D2 events are interpreted as two progressive stages of transpressional tectonics related to the late stages of collision between Apulia and Eurasia plates. These processes gave rise to the lateral extrusion of the Rhodope and Balkan regions toward the SE along the Strouma Lineament. The D3 event is attributed to the latest stage of this collision, and represents the relaxation of the overthickened crust along the direction of the lateral extrusion. The D4 and D5 events are interpreted as post-orogenic extensional events related to the retreat of the Hellenic subduction zone since the Late Miocene and to the widespread back-arc Aegean extension still prevailing today.     

Source parameters of the 27th of June 2015 Gulf of Aqaba earthquake

On the 27 June 2015, at 15:34:03 UTC, a moderate-sized earthquake of M _w 5.0 occurred in the Gulf of Aqaba. Using teleseismic P waves, the focal mechanism of the mainshock was investigated by two techniques. The first technique used the polarities of the first P wave onsets, and the second technique was based on the normalized waveform modeling technique. The results showed that the extension stress has a NE orientation with a shallow southward plunge while the compression stress has a NW trend with a nearly shallow westward plunge, obtaining a strike-slip mechanism. This result agrees well with the typical consequence of crustal deformation resulting from the ongoing extensional to shear stress regime in the Gulf of Aqaba (NE-SW extension and NW-SE compression). The grid search method over a range of focal depths indicates an optimum solution at 15 ± 1 km. To identify the causative fault plane, the aftershock hypocenters were relocated using the local waveform data and the double-difference technique. Considering the fault trends, the spatial distribution of relocated aftershocks demarcated a NS-oriented causative fault, in consistence with one of the nodal planes of the focal mechanism solution, emphasizing the dominant stress regime in the region. Following the Brune model, the estimates of source parameters exhibited fault lengths of 0.29 ≤ L ≤ 2.48 km, moment magnitudes of 3.0 ≤ M _w ≤ 5.0, and stress drops of 0.14 ≤ Δσ < 1.14 MPa, indicating a source scaling similar to the tectonic earthquakes related to plate boundaries.     

四川盆地荣县—威远—资中地区发震构造几何结构与构造变形特征:基于震源机制解的认识和启示

四川盆地荣县—威远—资中地区属于历史弱震区,然而2019年相继发生多次破坏性地震事件.本文基于四川区域地震台网宽频带地震仪记录波形资料,利用CAP （Cut and Paste）波形反演方法,获得了2016年以来发生在荣县—威远—资中地区的26个M_S≥3.0地震的震源机制解、震源矩心深度和矩震级,对该区域发震构造几何结构与变形特征及构造应力场特征进行了初步分析.主要获得如下认识：（1）26个M_S≥3.0地震的震源矩心深度在1.5~5 km之间,平均深度3.4 km,表明事件发生在上地壳浅部沉积层内;震源深度分布揭示发震断层面倾向SE、缓倾角.（2）26个地震的震源机制全部为逆冲型,表明发震构造整体为逆断层性质.节面优势方位NNE-NE,结合走向与倾角统计结果,本文推测发震构造可能为威远背斜南翼一系列倾向SE、走向NNE-NE的缓倾角盲冲断层.（3）P、T、B轴优势方位单一,表明研究区域处于相对简单的构造应力环境.区域应力场反演获得的最大主压应力轴σ₁方位NW-SE,近水平,与目前已知的该区域构造应力场水平主压应力方向一致,反映区内构造活动主要受区域构造应力场控制;其明显有别于四川盆地南缘2019年6月17日长宁M_S6.0地震余震区NE-SW向的最大主压应力轴方位也揭示出四川盆地构造应力场具有明显的分区特征.（4）26个地震整体的应变花表现为NW-SE向挤压白瓣形态,表明区内发震构造整体呈NW-SE向纯挤压变形模式,明显有别于2019年长宁M_S6.0地震序列NE-SW向挤压兼具小量NW-SE向拉张分量的构造变形模式,进一步表明四川盆地构造变形模式也具有明显的分区特征.     

A microearthquake study of the Mygdonian graben (northern Greece)

During March and April 1984, a temporary network of 29 portable stations was operated in the region of the Mygdonian graben near Thessaloniki (northern Greece), where a destructive earthquake (M_s = 6.5) had occurred in the Summer of 1978. During a period of six weeks we recorded 540 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from −0.2 to 3.0. From this set of data, 254 events are selected which according to us have a precision in epicenter and depth better than 1.5 km. A total of 54 single-event focal mechanisms have been determined.The seismicity and focal mechanisms show a rather complex pattern. There are no clear individual faults, but the E-W and NW-SE striking zones show N-S extension. Zones striking NNE-SSW show dextral strike-slip motion but NW-SE zones with sinistral strike-slip are also observed.In the center of the graben where the 1978 earthquake was located, we observe several thrust mechanisms distributed in two groups showing either NW-SE or E-W compression; these earthquakes seem to be located 2 km above the earthquakes showing normal mechanisms.The mean direction of the T-axes, found from the focal mechanisms, trends N15° and dips sub-horizontal.We propose a model for the formation and evolution of a complex graben system comprising several stages. In the initial stage the deformation occurs along pre-existing NW-SE or NNE-SSW faults, with normal or strike-slip movements. In the second stage, a new, E-W trending group of normal faults is formed over the ancient fault network. These new faults have a direction perpendicular to the mean T-axis and accommodate better the actual state of stress. At this stage the initial faults adjust to the deformation produced by the E-W trending new faults, and may constitute geometric barriers to the evolution of the new normal faults.
