阳关断裂带变形样式及其对阿尔金断裂扩展的指示意义

阳关断裂位于青藏高原北部阿尔金断裂系向北扩展的前缘位置,对其几何学和运动学的深入研究,有助于理解青藏高原向大陆内部扩展的机制。文章通过卫星影像解译、探槽开挖、差分GPS及无人机测量等对阳关断裂开展了详细研究。结果显示：阳关断裂东段发育多条正反向断层陡坎,断层陡坎高度在0.4～8 m之间,平均约2.2 m,探槽揭示断裂倾角约60°,形成高角度逆断层,局部发育正断层;西段断裂向北西前缘扩展,形成一组弧形分布的断层陡坎,陡坎高度多在0.9～2.4 m,平均约1.9 m。同时自南向北,逆冲断层陡坎形态由多级陡坎转为单一陡坎。对探槽剖面分析,显示断裂断错晚更新世冲洪积砾石层,发育的断层倾角较缓,以低角度逆冲为主要特征,约26°,有的甚至沿地层向前推覆。结合前人的研究成果,阳关断裂可能为本区阿尔金向北扩展的北边界,与三危山断裂共同协调吸收了阿尔金断裂东段的部分应变量。     

蔚广盆地南缘断裂带唐山口段山前断层活动性研究

蔚广盆地是山西地堑系北端京西北盆岭构造区内的一个半地堑盆地,蔚广盆地南缘断裂带为控制该盆地形成的边界断裂。该断裂带位于唐山口段的山前断裂在冲洪积扇体上形成了线性特征显著的断层陡坎。横跨断层陡坎开挖的探槽表明该条山前断裂属于全新世活动断裂,探槽揭示了2条活动断层以及相应的3次古地震事件。在距今约9ka时其中一条断层首次活动,之后在距今约7.3ka时该条断层再次活动并引发了另一条断层的形成与同步活动。最后它们又发生了第三次活动,而最新一次活动的时间由于相应地表沉积的缺失而无法获得。这3次古地震事件的累积垂直位错约为8.1m。估算出整条山前断裂的平均复发周期约为1.7ka、平均滑动速率约为1.6mm/a。此外还依据经验公式估算出了各次古地震的参考震级。     

临泽断裂新活动特征初步研究

临泽断裂在地貌上可见3条断层陡坎,总体走向NNW,最长约8 km,东侧和中间陡坎主体倾向E,西侧陡坎倾向W。①利用差分GPS对3条断层陡坎进行了详细的测量,发现临泽断层陡坎较低,局部发育多级断层陡坎,坡角较缓,高度几十厘米至1米多;②在临泽断裂上选取4个探槽剖面进行古地震分析、样品采集和年代测试,发现东侧和中间的断层陡坎为正断层所控制,西侧的断层陡坎为逆断层所控制;③探槽开挖揭露出晚更新世晚期以来,临泽断裂上发生过4次古地震事件,时间分别为(8 895±125)a B.P.之前、(7 245±75)a B.P.～(6 190±20)a B.P.、(5120±20)a B.P.～(4.8±0.5)ka和(2 550±50)a B.P.～(2 326±64)a;④全新世以来可以确定3次事件,较早一次事件与榆木山北缘断裂上较早一次古地震事件时间比较吻合,说明临泽断裂可能是榆木山断裂向河西走廊内部继续活动的延伸;最后一次古地震事件的离逝时间约为2 500 a,表明临泽断裂全新世活动一直比较强烈。     

金州断裂盖州北—鞍山段古地震破裂的新证据

1975年海城M_S7.3地震是中国第1次成功预报的7级以上破坏型地震,避免了大量人员和财产损失。但在地震后的调查中并没有发现较为连续的地表破裂带,只在零星地点发现了一些地表裂缝和喷砂冒水现象。该地震的等震线表现出较为明显的共轭特征,因此研究者对于海城地震的发震断层一直存在一定争议。文中对与海城河断裂共轭相交的金州断裂盖州北—鞍山段进行了遥感影像解译、微地貌测量和古地震探槽开挖等工作,发现金州断裂自大石桥市沿NE向至鞍山市南,在盆山过渡带的晚更新世和全新世地貌面上存在较为明显的沿NE向展布的断层陡坎。由于人类活动,断层陡坎展布不连续。断层陡坎的高度多为1～2m,最大可达3m;在海城市南葫芦峪村开挖的古地震探槽揭露出盖州北—鞍山段具有宽约20m的基岩破碎带,晚更新世晚期—全新世以来(距今(37.6±2.2) ka)至少发生过2次古地震事件。较新的一次地震发生于全新世(距今(11.7±0.8) ka以后,很可能为距今400～500a)。由于全新世地层太薄所限,无法识别出更多全新世古地震,但可以判断金州断裂盖州北—鞍山段为晚更新世晚期—全新世活动断裂。     

阿拉善地块南缘北大山断裂的晚第四纪构造活动证据

阿拉善地块南缘地处青藏高原东北缘地壳扩展前锋带的北侧,对该地区活动断裂晚第四纪的运动性质、滑动速率等开展研究,有助于理解阿拉善地块的晚第四纪构造变形特征及其对青藏高原向N扩展的响应。文中结合遥感影像解译与野外地质地貌考察,对阿拉善地块南缘的北大山断裂进行了分段和活动性研究。结果表明,北大山断裂左旋走滑断错晚第四纪洪积扇和阶地等地貌,形成显著的位错阶地坎、冲沟以及断层陡坎。通过对断错地貌线等标志的测量、复原、统计分析等,发现断裂的地貌位移值分布于3～20m,发育新鲜断层自由面的断层陡坎和左旋错动的纹沟指示了断层的最新一次活动。基于同期洪积扇年龄估算得到北大山断裂晚更新世以来的左旋滑动速率为0.3～0.6mm/a。北大山断裂的运动学特征与区域NE向应力场一致,可能受到了青藏高原NE向扩展的影响。     

宁夏卫宁北山南缘断层探测与活动性初步鉴定

宁夏卫宁北山位于青藏高原、阿拉善和鄂尔多斯3大活动地块的交汇地带,查清该地区的活断层对厘清活动地块边界和规划中卫工业园区布局均具有重要意义。采用浅层地震勘探、钻孔联合剖面探测及槽探等手段,针对卫宁北山南缘推测断层开展综合探测,以便查清该断层展布情况和地层断错特征,并结合区域地层时代对比,初步鉴定已探明断层的活动性。结果表明：前人推测的地貌陡坎之下的卫宁北山南缘正断层并不存在,而在卫宁北山南缘地貌陡坎偏北基岩内发育一条逆冲断层,浅层地震勘探剖面揭示该断层上断点埋深35～40 m,钻孔联合剖面探测和槽探发现断层错断了石炭系和新近系,但未错断上覆的上更新统,表明该断层不是活动断层;另外,浅层地震剖面揭示在中卫盆地内部还发育一条北西西向的隐伏正断层,上断点埋深约60 m,但也未错动晚更新世以来地层,因而推测该断层不存在晚第四纪活动性。     

礼县—罗家堡断裂晚第四纪活动特征:兼论1654年礼县8级地震孕震机制

1654年7月21日甘肃省礼县8级地震发生在南北地震带的中北段,该地区的构造变形和构造活动与青藏高原向北东方向的扩展密切相关,复杂的构造几何特征主要受控于东昆仑断裂、西秦岭北缘断裂和一系列北东向断裂.礼县—罗家堡断裂为一条北东东向的左旋走滑活动断裂,错断了含有仰韶文化红色陶瓷片的一级阶地堆积物,阶地面上断层陡坎高约1.5m.沿断裂带发现冲沟的左旋位错量为3~10m,晚更新世黄土中残留的断层陡坎高4.5~8m.其中两条冲沟中发现裂点,高3.5~3.9m,距断层陡坎的距离为16m.礼县—盐关—罗家堡—天水镇一带发育大量的滑坡,长轴走向与礼县—罗家堡断裂一致,滑坡体后缘、侧壁陡峭,出露晚第四纪黄土,鲜有植被覆盖.礼县—罗家堡断裂为1654年8级地震的发震断裂.综合分析认为,受青藏高原向北东方向的扩展,被西秦岭北缘断裂、礼县—罗家堡断裂和岷县—宕昌断裂围限的礼县次级地块向南东滑动可能导致了1654年礼县8级地震的发生.断裂北、南两侧地壳电性结构的差异为强震的孕育提供了深部构造条件.     

青海德令哈巴音郭勒河断裂带的新活动特征

在青海德令哈巴音郭勒河北侧山前冲洪积扇上新发现了一条长约60km的逆断裂带,属于本区NNW-NWW向的柴达木盆地北缘活动断裂系内的一条次级挤压构造。断裂在地貌上表现为明显的挤压逆冲断层陡坎,晚更新世晚期以来的平均垂直滑动速率为0.41±0.27mm/a。探槽剖面确定了三次古地震事件,其年代分别为距今约32.7±1.45ka、15.54±1.32ka和3.2±0.33ka。     

昌马盆地内发现活动正断层

昌马盆地为祁连山西端的山间盆地,前人一直关注其周边断裂(如昌马断裂)的构造变形,盆地内部变形则鲜有研究。基于遥感解译和野外考察、探槽开挖、差分GPS和放射性碳(¹⁴C)测年等方法,发现昌马盆地西北部的一条活动断层。断层长约4 km,总体走向NEE,倾向SE,倾角陡立,断层地貌表现为陡坎、复陡坎、断层沟槽等,陡坎高度0～5.6 m,由WS向NE逐渐增大。断层运动性质以正断为主,最新活动时代为全新世,并识别出2期古地震事件：6 670～6 885 a B.P.和26 330～26 915 a B.P.。研究结果表明,在青藏高原东北缘向NE方向挤压扩展的背景下,祁连山造山带发生NW-SE向伸展,导致其西端受到SE向拉张作用而形成正断层。     

金塔南山断裂中东段古地震特征初步研究

金塔南山断裂位于河西走廊酒泉盆地北侧,是青藏块体与阿拉善块体的边界断裂之一。前人仅对该断裂西段开展过古地震研究。文中基于古地震探槽研究和光释光测年等传统地震地质工作方法,定量研究了金塔南山断裂中东段的古地震特征。通过对断裂进行系统的野外调查,发现沿断裂沿线地层以早更新世至晚更新世洪积物为主,全新世洪积物厚度仅几十cm。选取发育在全新世洪积物相对较厚的洪积扇上的断层陡坎进行工作,获得了一些初步的认识:金塔南山断裂中东段晚第四纪以来持续活动特征明显,全新世洪积扇上发育高0.5~1m的断层陡坎表现出了很新的活动性。多个探槽揭露出晚更新世晚期以来的4次古地震事件,分别发生在(15.16±1.29)ka之前、(9.9±0.5)ka之前、6ka左右、(3.5±0.4)ka之后。全新世中期以来,发生过2次事件,且2次古地震均造成断裂全段破裂。     

Deep dynamical processes in the central-southern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau—Receiver functions and travel-time residuals analysis of north Hi-Climb

Teleseismic receiver functions and travel-time residuals along the north Hi-Climb broadband seismic array in the central-southern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau show that the lithosphere structures in the central and western Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are different. In the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Indian Plate is northward subducted beneath the Qiangtang block and arrives at the greatest depth beneath the central-southern Qiangtang block. The delaminated Indian lithospheric slab remains beneath the central Lhasa block to a depth possibly greater than that of the upper interface of the mantle transform zone. In the western Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Indian lithospheric plate is gently northward subducted and may have arrived to the south of Tarim plate. Due to the resistance from the gently northward subduction of the Indian mantle lithosphere in the western Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the upwelling mantle material be-neath the Qiangtang block moves mostly toward the east to bring about the lateral eastward flow of the deep mantle hot material in the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.     

Crustal structure of northeastern Tibet inferred from receiver function analysis

Sponsored by National Science & Technology Committee, the cooperation between China Academy of Geoscience and Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics, University Joseph, France conducted a lithospherical experiment using 40 Minititan 3-component and 13 CEIS 1-component seismometers along the road from Gonghe to Yushu in Qinghai Province during 5 months after June, 1998. The interested area is on the north of Bangong- Nujiang fault, the east of Qaidam basin, the south of Center Qilian fault and the west of Longmenshan fault. And the profile across most tectonic parts of Eastern Tibet such as Southern Qilian, Eastern Kunlun fault, Bayan Har terrane, Jinshajiang suture (Figure 1), which is the first seismological profile across Eastern Tibet (Qinghai-Tibet) and will be beneficial on the comparison with the results of its center parts, especially on the understanding of the effect of the thousands-kilometer-faraway collision between Eurasia Plate and Indian Plate on the uplifting of south and north part of Eastern Kunlun fault, and on the thickening of crust and the feature of deep structure of Qilian mountain on the north of Tibet Plateau.     

酒西盆地白杨河断裂古地震特征研究

白杨河断裂是酒西盆地内部一条重要的活动断裂,断裂长约25 km,整体走向近EW,倾向N,倾角约25°。以往的研究认为白杨河断裂为一条全新世活动的隐伏断裂,其持续的活动造成了上覆阶地变形,形成白杨河背斜。通过卫星影像解译和野外实地考察,在断裂西段和中段发现连续发育的低断层陡坎,表明断裂活动已至地表。古地震探槽揭露白杨河断裂全新世以来至少发生过2次地震事件,年代分别为距今(8.7±0.6)ka和(3.9±0.5)ka,每次地震事件的垂直断距都在约0.6 m,利用经验公式,估算震级约为6.8级。     

榆木山北缘断裂的构造地貌特征与断层活动性

构造地貌能反映断裂的结构变形特征和断层的活动强度。便如断层陡坎的高度、长度和坡度以及断层陡坎的连续程度。在这篇文章中，讨论了断层段内每个段落断层陡坎的F（C），F（D），F（LR），F（SR）值的特征。在这篇文章结尾，还讨论了冲洪积扇特征对以活动强度的反映。从地貌统计结果来看，发现在榆木山断裂的中间部位冲洪积扇体坡度最大，从中间向两侧中洪积扇扇体坡度呈减弱趋势。文中还给出了断层陡无坎变形的测量结果，冲洪积扇扇顶热释光年龄和断层滑动速度。从分析结果来看，榆木山北缘断裂可以细分为三段，东段（梨园小口子－排路口）、中段（排路口－芦泉河）和西段（芦泉河－李家山子）。     

深地震反射剖面揭示的海原断裂带深部几何形态与地壳形变

由于活动的青藏高原不断的隆升和推挤作用,在西南向东北的推挤作用和周缘块体的阻挡以及东北缘内部块体挤压形变的作用下,形成了多个走向不同的青藏高原东北缘构造体系.新生代构造变形和地震活动强烈,区内分布多条大型深断裂带.海原断裂是青藏高原东北缘发育的弧形活动断裂带中规模最大、活动最为强烈的一条左旋走滑型断裂带,是重要的大地构造区边界,也是控制现今强震活动的活断层.本文利用2009年完成的高分辨率深地震反射剖面的北段资料,对其进行初步构造解释,揭示出海原断裂带的深部几何形态和其两侧地壳上地幔细结构.结果显示海原断裂并不是简单的陡立或者较缓,其几何形态随着深度变化.在海原断裂之下的Moho并未错断的反射特征显示海原断裂并不是直接错断莫霍面的超壳断裂.海原断裂带及两侧岩石圈结构和构造样式的研究为探讨青藏高原东北缘岩石圈变形机制提供地震学依据.     

珠江口盆地及其邻近地区的活动断裂与地震活动

珠江口盆地位于南海北部，属于大陆地壳的陆缘张裂型盆地，其形成与地幔向上隆起和地壳拉张减薄有密切关系，自中新世纪晚期以来，珠江口盆地的坳陷为沉积区，盆地的隆起及外围为剥蚀区。     

PALEOSEIMOLOGY AND LATE QUATERNARY SLIP RATE OF THE YOUSHASHAN FAULT AT SOUTHWESTERN MARGIN OF QAIDAM BASIN

The Youshashan Fault lies in the south flank of Yingxiongling anticline, southwestern margin of Qaidam Basin. The Yingxiongling anticline is one of the most active neotectonics, situated at the front of folds expanding southward in the Qaidam Basin. Research on the paleoseimology and Late Quaternary slip rate of this fault is important for hazard assessment and understanding tectonic deformation in this area. We excavated a 27-m-long trench across the Youshashan fault where a pressure bridge formed on the Holocene alluvial fans, measured a profile of the fold scarp created by the fault west of the Youshashan mountain, and collected several samples of finer sands for luminescence dating. Analysis of these data shows that(1) The Youshashan Fault is a Holocene active feature. The fold scarp in the basin indicates that this fault has been active along a same surface trace since at least mid-late Pleistocene. At least two paleoseismic events are revealed by trenching, both occurred in Holocene. The latest event Ⅱ in the trench happened after 500a. The current information fails to confidently support that it is the 1977 Mangya M6.4 earthquake, but cannot excludes the possibility of it is related to this earthquake. The other event Ⅰ occurred about between 1 000a to 4 000a. Erosion after the event Ⅰ prevents us to constrain the event age and to identify more events further. (2)The vertical slip rate of the Youshashan fault is about(0.38±0.06)mm/a since mid-late Pleistocene. Comparing with relative speeds of GPS sites across the Yingxiongling anticline suggests that the Youshashan fault is an important structure which is accommodating crustal shortening in this region.     

PRESENT KINEMATICS CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NORTHERN YUMUSHAN ACTIVE FAULT AND ITS RESPONSE TO THE NORTHEASTWARD GROWTH OF THE TIBETAN PLATEAU

Qilian Shan and Hexi Corridor, located in the north of Tibetan plateau, are the margin of Tibetan plateau's tectonic deformation and pushing. Its internal deformations and activities can greatly conserve the extension process and characteristics of the Plateau. The research of Qilian Shan and Hexi Corridor consequentially plays a significant role in understanding tectonic deformation mechanism of Tibetan plateau. The northern Yumushan Fault, located in the middle of the northern Qilian Shan thrust belt, is a significant component of Qilian Shan thrust belt which divides Yumushan and intramontane basins in Hexi Corridor. Carrying out the research of Yumushan Fault will help explain the kinematics characteristics of the northern Yumushan active fault and its response to the northeastward growth of the Tibetan plateau.Because of limited technology conditions of the time, different research emphases and some other reasons, previous research results differ dramatically. This paper summarizes the last 20 years researches from the perspectives of fault slip rates, paleao-earthquake characteristics and tectonic deformation. Using aerial-photo morphological analysis, field investigation, optical simulated luminescence(OSL)dating of alluvial surfaces and topographic profiles, we calculate the vertical slip rate and strike-slip rate at the typical site in the northern Yumushan Fault, which is(0.55±0.15)mm/a and(0.95±0.11), respectively. On the controversial problems, namely "the Luotuo(Camel)city scarp" and the 180 A.D. Biaoshi earthquake, we use aerial-photo analysis, particular field investigation and typical profile dating. We concluded that "Luotuo city scarp" is the ruin of ancient diversion works rather than the fault scarp of the 180 A.D. Biaoshi earthquake. Combining the topographic profiles of the mountain range with fault characteristics, we believe Yumu Shan is a part of Qilian Shan. The uplift of Yumu Shan is the result of Qilian Shan and Yumu Shan itself pushing northwards. Topographic profile along the crest of the Yumu Shan illustrates the decrease from its center to the tips, which is similar to the vertical slip rates and the height of fault scarp. These show that Yumu Shan is controlled by fault extension and grows laterally and vertically. At present, fault activities are still concentrated near the north foot of Yumu Shan, and the mountain ranges continue to rise since late Cenozoic.     

北天山博乐盆地南缘勒塔干褶皱晚第四纪构造变形

研究天山地区活动逆冲断裂、褶皱对于认识整个天山再生造山带的隆升和地震危险性评估具有重要意义。以天山北麓博乐盆地南缘库松木楔克断裂东段勒塔干褶皱为研究对象,通过无人机航拍提取高精度DEM和野外实地调查结果,将勒塔干背斜东部迪里克河附近的洪积扇分为5期,从新到老分别为T1、T2、T3、T4、T5。其中,T4洪积扇完整记录了褶皱的变形历史,其后翼褶皱陡坎高度为（8.1±0.6）m。自T4洪积扇废弃以来,勒塔干断层的滑移量为（33.0±2.6）m。T3洪积扇仅发育在迪里克河出水口处,即勒塔干背斜北侧,（16.9±0.2）m的断层陡坎高度揭示了自T3洪积扇废弃以来,控制背斜形成的逆断层发生了21.4～21.7 m的滑动。通过与相邻地区洪积扇期次进行对比,认为T4洪积扇的废弃年龄为（74.01±6.14）ka,勒塔干背斜下断坡晚第四纪滑动速率为（0.45±0.05）mm/a,勒塔干褶皱晚第四纪地壳缩短速率为（0.37±0.04）mm/a。
