Aseismic negative dislocation model and deformation analysis of crustal horizontal movement during 1999——2001 in the northeast margin of Qinghai-Xizang block

Through numerical simulation for GPS data, aseism/c negative dislocation model for crustal horizontal movement during 1999-2001 in the northeast margin of Qinghai-Xizang block is presented, combined with the spatial distri-bution of apparent strain field in this area, the characteristics of motion and deformation of active blocks and their boundary faults, together with the place and intensity of strain accumulation are analyzed. It is shown that: a) 9 active blocks appeared totally clockwise motion from eastward by north to eastward by south. Obvious sinistral strike-slip and NE-NEE relative compressive motion between the blocks separated by Qilianshan-Haiyuan fault zone was discovered; b) 20 fault segments (most of them showed compression) locked the relative motion between blocks to varying degrees, among the total, the mid-east segment of Qilianshan fault (containing the place where it meets Riyueshan-Lajishan fault) and the place where it meets Haiyuan fault and Zhuanglanghe fault, more favored accumulation of strain. Moreover, the region where Riyueshan-Lajishan fault meets north boundary of Qaidam block may have strain accumulation to some degree, c) Obtained magnitude of block velocities and locking of their boundaries were less than relevant results for observation in the period of 1993-1999.     

Inversion for negative dislocation on elastic block boundaries in the northeastern margin of Qinghai-Xizang block and prediction for strong earthquake location

Introduction According to the negative dislocation model (Matsu′ura et al, 1986), the relative motion be-tween active blocks under contemporary crustal movement is likely to be partially blocked on the boundaries. Suppose the lower ductile zone of boundary could slip freely, while due to the fric-tional resistance, etc., the upper brittle zone would restrict such kind of relative motion, so as to give rise to stress and strain accumulation. Namely, the surface displacement in the block bound-…     

Current tectonic deformation and seismogenic characteristics along the northeast margin of Qinghai -Xizang block

Introduction The northeast margin of Qinghai-Xizang block has become the place with close attentions from geo-specialists at home and abroad for its significant tectonic movement and intensive seismicity. Quite a number of achievements have been obtained from the studies on geological structures and strong earthquake activities (DING, LU, 1989, 1991; GUO, et al, 1992, 2000; GUO, XIANG, 1993; HOU, et al, 1999; Tapponnier, et al, 1990; Gaudemer, et al, 1995).

Relation between electricity structure of the crust and deformation of crustal blocks on the northeastern margin of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was formed by coales-cence of microcontinents of different geologic histo-ries, i.e. it consists of a series of blocks, such as Hi-malayas, Lhasa, Qiangtang, Kunlun, Qaidam and Qi- lian blocks from south to north. The blocks moved firstly in the NNE direction, then in the NE direction and at last in the ENE or E-W direction from south to north by a combined action of Indian Plate moving northward and obstruction of Tarim and other blocksnorth of the plateau.

Horizontal crustal movement in Chinese mainland before and after the great Kunlun Mountain M=8.1 earthquake in 2001

Introduction The great Kunlun Mountain earthquake occurred on November 14, 2001 on the border be-tween Xinjiang and Qinghai in west China (36.2N, 90.9E). It was the largest earthquake oc-curred in Chinese mainland in the last 50 years. The Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) established in 1998 mainly for the purpose of earthquake prediction with only 25 fiducial stations for continuous GPS observations, has recorded the precious information of the crustal movement …

1999～2001年青藏块体东北缘地壳水平运动的非震反位错模型及变形分析

通过对GPS观测资料的数值模拟，获取1999～2001年青藏块体东北缘地区地壳水平运动的非震反位错模型,结合本区视应变场空间分布，研究活动块体及其边界断裂运动、变形特征及应力应变积累部位和强度．结果表明:① 9个活动块体呈现东向由偏北至偏南的整体性顺时针运动. 以祁连山——海原断裂为界，两侧块体间的左旋相对运动明显，由西向东呈现走滑兼NE-NEE向挤压；② 有20条断层段（多数呈压性）不同程度地阻碍块体间的相对运动，其中祁连山断裂中东段（包括与日月山——拉脊山断裂交汇区）及与海原、庄浪河断裂交汇区更有利于应变积累，日月山——拉脊山断裂与柴达木块体北边界交汇区也可能存在一定程度的应变积累；③ 所得活动块体运动速率及边界断裂对块体相对运动的锁定量较1993～1999年相应结果有所减弱．

青藏块体东北缘近期GPS水平运动特征与汶川大震影响

利用青藏块体东北缘2004～2007年、2007～2009年GPS水平运动观测资料,分析地壳运动与活动断裂带构造变形演化特征以及汶川大震对活动断裂的影响。研究表明:祁连山—海原断裂带近期仍呈现与其构造活动背景一致的左旋挤压特性,观测结果未显示汶川大震对断裂有明显影响。而汶川大震对西秦岭构造区中东部、六盘山断裂中南段、秦岭北麓与渭河断裂的西段的影响相对显著,其中对西秦岭构造区中东部的大范围区域应变积累可能呈以增强为主的影响,其它断裂段近期可能呈以调整为主的状态特征。
