1966年邢台强震群震前、 同震和震后断层运动特征分析

在1966年3月邢台强震群水准观测基础上, 本文首先对同震位移和数值模拟结果进行了对比, 认为邢台强震群发震断层浅层是牛家桥阳断层和永福庄断层, 深部发震断层是倾向北西的北东向断层; 然后以区域水准观测为约束, 通过反演给出了邢台强震群震前断层无震滑移、 同震断层位错和震后断层余滑空间分布。 结果表明, 震前显著无震滑移主要发生在3月8日6.8级前震的发震断层上, 而3月20日宁晋7.2级和6.7级地震发震断层深部同震位错相对弱的断层段, 震前也存在较为明显的无震滑移; 震后断层余滑主要分布在束鹿凹陷西侧的牛家桥阳断层。 从邢台强震群过程中断层运动时空演化特征可以看出, 强震破裂成核过程中震前断层无震滑移既可能发生于前震发震断层, 也可能发生于主震发震断层, 震后断层位移空间分布与同震位错具有互补性; 而震前断层无震滑移是否为有关震前前兆的真正原因, 是值得进一步深入研究的问题。     

强震造成的活动地块地壳形变差异探讨

20 0 1年 11月 14日发生在昆仑山口西的 8 1级地震 ,在地表产生了长度大于 35 0km的破裂带 ,最大水平位移 6m左右 ,为左旋走滑断层。在昆仑山口西 8 1级地震周围不同活动地块内不同构造部位布设的GPS基准站对地震的响应存在明显的差异。其中位于柴达木活动地块内部的德令哈基准站在地震的当天观测到 7 5mm的同震位移 ,位于川滇活动地块西南边界带的下关基准站在震后 3d发生了 6 8mm以上的明显位移 ,而位于同一地块内部的昆明基准站和位于祁连山活动地块内的西宁基准站、位于拉萨活动地块内的拉萨基准站震时和震后都没有产生明显的位移。GPS基准站的观测资料表明 ,强震所处的活动地块和其相邻活动地块对强震有明显的响应 ,如果相隔一活动地块 ,则受强震的影响较小 ;在活动地块内 ,活动强烈的边界带或其它活动较强的部位对强震引起的地壳形变的响应明显大于活动强度较弱的部位 ;强震对相邻活动地块影响的差异 ,主要与强震所处活动地块运动时对其产生的作用方式的差异有关

青藏高原北部地区强震活动特征与地震大形势

本文研究了青藏高原北部地区强震活动的特征,结果是:地震活跃期为230—250年,平静期为130—150年;喜马拉雅南缘、青藏高原南部地区强震与本区强震明显相关,喜马拉雅南缘与缅甸北部地区发生强震后本区发震的概率分别为87.5%和66.7%;本区7级地震分带交替发生,最先发生的两个6级地震对预测未来7级地震发震地点有一定意义;中强震在8级地震前不活跃,而在7级地震前比较活跃,且青海北部与西部发生6级地震后,甘肃东南部或甘青川交界有5级地震活动。据此判断本区未来10年内存在发生7级强震的危险。     

巴颜喀拉块体东南缘应力演化及鲁甸地震自发破裂模拟研究

巴颜喀拉块体活动导致的昆仑—汶川地震系列,是目前中国大陆唯一一组7级以上地震序列,未来几年该块体仍是发生7级地震的主体地区。巴颜喀拉块体东缘从走滑运动向逆冲运动转换的构造动力学性质使得活动块体两个相邻边界带存在大地震序列的关联性。研究表明近期逐渐加速的块体东边界强震序列是北边界强震活动的响应,巴颜喀拉块体南边界的鲜水河断裂带同样以左旋走滑的方式向东边界挤压,但巴颜喀拉块体东南缘地震呈现以下两个特点,一是强震大都发生在巴颜喀拉块体东边界断裂带,东边界强震序列呈现加速状态;二是南边界鲜水河断裂带在1973年炉霍7.6级地震后,已有40多年没有发生7级以上地震,鲜有6.5级以上强震,在此次地震序列中表现出一种大震缺失的状态。因此,巴颜喀拉块体东南缘主要断裂带的地震危险性值得关注和研究。同震库仑破裂应力及震后粘弹性松弛在解释余震序列分布,分析强震序列相互作用关系及未来地震危险性分析等方面发挥了重要的作用。比如汶川地震之后,一些研究者利用弹性位错模型计算了汶川地震的同震库仑破裂应力变化,并对龙门山区域未来的地震危险性进行了估计。一些研究者分别计算了汶川地震和芦山地震后周边断层的同震库仑应力变化,以及汶川地震和芦山地震引起的同震和震后粘弹性松弛应力场变化,得到了汶川地震可能有效地促进了芦山地震的发生的结论。在应力演化过程中,震间构造应力加载对强震危险性的作用也非常重要,目前比较流行的计算这部分应力积累的做法是采用"负位错"的理论进行计算,这一方法虽然简洁,但假设了断层是完全闭锁的,可能会造成一定误差。本文拟以巴颜喀拉块体区域构造活动作为三维有限元模型的边界约束,综合研究区域介质速度、密度结构最新反演结果计算介质的弹性材料参数,从初始应力场出发模拟在构造应力和重力作用下的现今背景应力场,计算强震序列引起的区域内断裂带震前、震间、震后的应力演化,获得更为准确可靠的应力场结果。利用速率-状态关系计算库仑应力变化对研究区域背景地震发生率的影响,利用泊松概率过程计算研究区域在汶川地震和芦山地震震后未来10年6级以上强震的发震概率及研究区域主要断裂带的6级以上强震发震概率。除以上述准动力学的方法研究巴颜喀拉块体东南缘应力演化及地震危险性,本文还以鲁甸地震为例,研究鲁甸地震从成核区开始破裂,然后扩展直至终止的自发破裂动力学过程,探索影响地震自发破裂位错的主要因素。研究内容:(1)建立巴颜喀拉块体东南缘三维粘弹性有限元模型。(2)模拟巴颜喀拉块体东南缘主要断裂带上1900年以来7级以上强震序列的应力演化过程,并对强震序列对芦山地震的触发作用进行了研究,对比库仑应力场及等效应力场演化结果与背景地震活动的关系。(3)应用速率-状态关系研究库仑破裂应力对汶川地震、芦山地震震后研究区域的地震发生率的影响,应用泊松过程给出研究区域主要断层未来的强震发生概率。(4)应用可以描述断层摩擦机制的FAULTS有限元软件对芦山地震断层错动方式,初始破裂点进行了模拟,研究了汶川地震后,断层强度的变化对芦山地震的影响。(5)应用曲线有限差分方法建立鲁甸地震非平面断层自发破裂模型,模拟鲁甸地震在包谷垴—小河断裂上的自发破裂过程,分析影响鲁甸地震自发破裂过程的主要因素。本文的创新点:(1)以三维速度、密度反演结果建立能反映更真实地下介质的三维粘弹性有限元模型;(2)从初始应力场出发,进行数十万年的应力场演化模拟直至获得与现今构造应力场更为吻合的背景应力场用于地震序列模拟;(3)采用泊松概率模型计算地震发生概率时直接基于三维粘弹性有限元模型得到的库仑应力结果,充分考虑了同震、震间和震后效应的影响。同时,在考虑背景地震发生率时采用了更全面完整的地震目录,这可能使得对未来地震危险性的估计更准;(4)对鲁甸地震自发破裂过程进行了动力学模拟,将震间应力积累过程与同震地震破裂过程的模拟结合起来。     

祁连—海原断裂带强震库仑应力演化特征研究

研究祁连—海原断裂带及其附近区域自1920年海原M_S8.5地震后至今发生的6次M_S≥7.0强震间的相互触发关系,基于Burgers体构建粘弹性介质模型,模拟同震和震后库仑应力的演化过程;进一步针对祁连山北缘断裂带、西秦岭北缘断裂带及六盘山断裂带3条主要断裂带,分别计算自1920年至今6次强震在这3条断裂带上近百年尺度的应力累积。结果表明:1927年古浪M_S8.0地震受到1920年海原M_S8.5地震同震和震后库仑应力的共同加载,1954年民勤M_S7.0地震和1990年共和M_S7.0地震均受到之前发生强震的库仑应力的累积加载影响;西秦岭北缘断裂位于6次强震震后的综合累积应力卸载区,六盘山断裂带则位于累积应力加载区。研究强震间库仑应力演化特征及其对周围断裂带的较长时间尺度的累积影响,需要合理考虑粘弹性松弛效应下的震后库仑应力的累积作用,也可结合地震活动性进一步为明确危险断层段提供合理的参考。     

基于库仑应力变化研究台湾强震对福建地区地震触发作用

考虑同震位错与震后黏弹性弛豫效应,采用分层地壳介质模型,定量计算了台湾地区M_S≥7.0强震对福建地区部分M_L≥4.0地震的库仑应力影响。结果显示:台湾强震对福建M_L≥4.0地震的发生影响较小,远没有达到地震触发阈值,不具有触发作用,其主要原因是这两地区距离较远。结合台湾与福建地区M-T图,认为虽然台湾强震与福建地震不属触发关系,但可以用"同期活跃"的特征来描述。当大区域背景应力状态处于较高水平时,台湾地区M_S≥7.0强震与福建地区M_L≥4.0地震同时较为活跃。在此情况下,台湾M_S≥7.0强震与福建地区M_L≥4.0地震哪个先发生都是可能的。     

华北地区强震的背景地震活动性的研究

On the Mechanism of the Secular Tidal Acceleration of the Solid Inner Core and the Viscosity of the Liquid Core

As is known, the secular deceleration of the Earth's diurnal rotation is explained mainly by the tidal friction in the ocean. Below we consider this mechanism in some detail, taking into account also elastic deformations of the mantle under the action of ocean loading and the interaction between the tide-generating body, ocean tidal wave, liquid outer core, and solid inner core. It is shown that elastic displacements of the core-mantle boundary under the action of ocean loading are of about the same amplitude and phase as the elastic loading displacements of the Earth's outer surface. As a result, side by side with the mechanism of secular deceleration of diurnal rotation of the mantle, there are also (1) the opposite mechanism of secular acceleration of diurnal rotation of the outer liquid core and of the solid inner core and (2) the mechanism of excitation of differential rotation in the liquid core. Taking these effects into account, we compare theoretical and modern observed data on the eastward drift of the solid inner core. It is shown that the best agreement may be obtained if the turbulent viscosity of the liquid core is about 2 × 10 ³ Poise

Comparison Between the Nutations of the Planet Mars and the Nutations of the Earth

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth.

Magnetic stratigraphy of the Ordovician in the lower reach of the Kotuy River: the age of the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum and the rate of geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the superchron

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary.     

Study of the Influence of the Indirect Effect of Ocean Tides and of the Direct Deformation Effect of the Atmosphere on the Results of GPS Observations

The geodynamic interpretation of the results of GPS observations among the permanently operating stations which establish the frame for defining and conserving the coordinate system and simultaneously for describing the fundamental tendencies of dynamics in the area represented by them, should be deprived of the effects of geodynamic phenomena, which can be either periodic or short-term (even non-periodic) so that secular changes may be found. Some of these influences are included in scientific processing software, others have to be modelled later. The purpose of this project is to determine the influences of the indirect effect of ocean tides and the direct deformational effect of the atmosphere on the results of GPS observations, performed at stations Pecný (Czech Republic), Wettzell (FRG) and Graz (Austria), and also for the GPS stations of the Central Europe Regional Geodynamic Project (CERGOP) in the region of Central and East Europe. On the basis of analyses and results it is possible to claim that at the present accuracy of GPS observations the influence of ocean loading and atmospheric pressure effects for geodynamic campaigns in the region of the Czech Republic is negligible. For campaigns in larger regions (i.e. Central Europe) atmospheric corrections will have to be applied to height differences. These corrections, however, due to their periodicity have negligible influence on secular changes.
