利用大地电磁技术揭示2016年1月21日青海门源MS6.4地震隐伏地震构造和孕震环境

2016年1月21日01时13分在青海省海北州门源县发生了M_S6.4地震,震中位置位于青藏高原东北缘地区祁连造山带内的祁连—海原断裂带冷龙岭断裂部分附近,震源深度约11.4 km,震源机制解显示该次地震为一次纯逆冲型地震.我们于2015年7—8月期间完成了跨过祁连造山带紧邻穿过2016年1月21日青海门源M_S6.4地震震中区的大地电磁探测剖面（DKLB-M）和古浪地震大地电磁加密测量剖面（HYFP）.本文对所采集到的数据进行了先进的数据处理和反演工作,获得了二维电性结构图.结合青藏高原东北缘地区最新获得的相对于欧亚板块2009—2015年GPS速度场分布特征,1月21日门源M_S6.4地震主震与余震分布特征以及其他地质与地球物理资料等,探讨了门源M_S6.4地震的发震断裂,断裂带空间展布、延伸位置,分析了门源M_S6.4地震孕震环境与地震动力学背景等以及祁连山地区深部构造特征等相关问题.所获结论如下：2016年门源M_S6.4地震震源区下存在较宽的SW向低阻体,推测冷龙岭断裂下方可能形成了明显的力学强度软弱区,这种力学强度软弱区的存在反映了介质的力学性质并促进了地震蠕动、滑移和发生;冷龙岭北侧断裂可能对门源M_S6.4地震主震和余震的发生起控制作用,而该断裂为冷龙岭断裂在青藏高原北东向拓展过程中产生的伴生断裂,表现出逆冲特征;现今水准场、重力场、GPS速度场分布特征以及大地电磁探测结果均表明祁连—海原断裂带冷龙岭断裂部分为青藏高原东北缘地区最为明显的一条边界断裂,受控于青藏高原北东向拓展和阿拉善地块的阻挡作用,冷龙岭断裂附近目前正处于青藏高原北东向拓展作用最强烈、构造转化最剧烈的地区,这种动力学环境可能是门源M_S6.4地震发生的最主要原因,与1927年古浪M_S8.0地震和1954年民勤M_S7.0地震相似,2016年门源M_S6.4地震的发生同样是青藏高原北东向拓展过程中的一次地震事件.     

西秦岭造山带(中段)及其两侧地块深部电性结构特征

本文对跨过西秦岭造山带(中段)的阿坝—若尔盖—临潭—兰州大地电磁剖面(WQL-L1)所采集到的数据进行了精细化处理分析和二维反演研究,结合跨过2013年岷县漳县地震区的WQL-L6剖面大地电磁探测结果和以往的地质与地球物理资料,对西秦岭造山带(中段)的深部电性结构、主要断裂带延伸状况以及与南北两侧地块的接触关系等进行了分析研究,结果表明:东昆仑断裂带塔藏段、迭部—白龙江断裂和光盖山—迭山断裂带共同组成了东昆仑断裂系统,分隔了松潘—甘孜地块和西秦岭造山带(中段);西秦岭北缘断裂带为主要的高角度南倾大型电性边界带,延伸深度穿过莫霍面;临潭—宕昌断裂带具有电性边界带特征,其延伸情况具有东、西差异.西秦岭造山带(中段)自地表到深度约20km范围表现为东北和西南浅、中部深的倒"梯形"高阻层,在高阻层之下广泛发育低阻层,低阻层与高阻层相互契合,呈现相互挤压堆积的式样,其西南侧的松潘—甘孜地块中下地壳存在西南深、东北浅低阻层,其东北侧的陇西盆地具有稳定的成层性结构,显示出西秦岭造山带(中段)正处于松潘—甘孜地块向北挤压和陇西盆地向南的阻挡挤压作用中.松潘—甘孜地块从西南向东北推挤、东北侧陇西盆地相对阻挡的相互作用是2013年岷县漳县6.6级地震发生的外部动力学机制,同时地震震源区特殊介质属性是该次地震发生的内部因素.西秦岭造山带(中段)中上地壳倒"梯形"高阻体埋深西薄、东厚的分段差异与该段内部中强地震分布差异有关.东昆仑断裂玛沁段和塔藏段内部的深部电性结构差异和延伸状况与东昆仑断裂自西向东走滑速率减小有内在联系.     

DEEP ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE BENEATH THE 1954 MS7.0 MINQIN,GANSU EARTHQUAKE AND ITS SEISMOTECTONIC ENVIRONMENT

On 31 July 1954, an M_S7.0 earthquake occurred southeast of Minqin, Gansu Province, northwestern China. Its epicenter was located at the edge of the Alxa block, subject to northeastward compression of the Tibetan plateau, resulting in active tectonics there. Because of few records and field investigations, the seismogenic fault and tectonic setting of this event remain unclear. To probe the deep structure of this region, magnetotelluric (MT) measurements have been carried out near the epicenter, and new data of 28 sites were collected. Using the methods including the remote reference, "robust" and phase tensor decomposition, these MT data were processed, followed by NLCG two-dimensional inversion of the data to reveal the deep electrical structure of the study area. Combining with previous studies, geologic interpretation of the MT survey suggests that the Minqin earthquake of 1954 may be related to the Hongyashan-Sidaoshan Fault, which is a high-angle thrust with left-slip component. It lies between the Tibetan plateau and the Alxa block, where substantial elastic strain has accumulated due to the northeastward extrusion of the plateau, leading to occurrences of several earthquakes greater than M_S5.0 in the history. Our electrical structure derived from the MT survey supports the following tectonic interpretations:The Tibetan plateau expands to the northeast in a flower-like style while the Alxa block subducts to southwest in a listric-shaped manner, which forms the northeastward growth pattern of the Tibetan plateau. The forefront of the plateau expansion is around the Hongyashan-Sidaoshan Fault, indicating that the extension of the plateau has surpassed the Hexi Corridor to the southern margin of the Alxa block. The deformation nearby the Hongyashan-Sidaoshan Fault could be linked to the northeastward propagating extrusion of the Tibetan plateau as a far-field dynamic effect of the India-Eurasia collision. The Tibetan plateau is continuing to grow northeastward, resulting in folds and thrusts in the Hexi Corridor, and even farther to the southern margin of the Alxa block.     

2022年1月8日青海门源MS6.9地震深部构造背景浅析

2022年1月8日青海境内的托莱山—冷龙岭断裂附近发生了门源M_S6.9地震。结合地壳厚度、速度结构及各向异性等资料探讨了门源地震的深部构造特征,揭示了门源地震的发震位置与地壳结构变化的密切关联。结果显示:门源M_S6.9地震发生在地壳厚度和v_P/v_S值都出现快速空间变化的区域;大约在10—20 km深度范围内,震源位于P波速度从浅到深由高速变低速的垂向过渡区,同时也是S波速度和泊松比分布呈现明显横向变化的过渡区域,震源下方存在明显的低速区;冷龙岭断裂两侧相速度的方位各向异性变化比较明显。1月12日的M_S5.2余震震中紧邻2016年M_S6.4地震震中,揭示出2022年门源M_S6.9地震及其余震活动导致了冷龙岭断裂比较充分的破裂,两次门源地震主震之间及邻区短时间内难以积累更大能量,因而短时间内发生更大地震的可能性不大。青藏高原东北缘的持续向北扩展所导致的地表隆升和地壳增厚是该地区强震频发的主要构造成因。      

2020年龙泉山断裂带MS5.1地震成因综合分析

2020年2月3日四川省成都市青白江区发生M_S5.1地震,震中烈度为Ⅵ度。该地震事件震中位于龙泉山断裂带上,距离成都市中心38 km,是龙泉山断裂带历史上非常罕见的5.0级以上地震事件。针对该事件成因进行了综合分析与研究,具体内容包括:(1)通过收集历史地震资料讨论龙泉山断裂带的地震活动性;(2)利用高质量的波形数据对主震位置进行重定位;(3)根据地震层析成像获得的三维vP、vS以及泊松比(σ)模型分析了孕震构造和流体影响,以及(4)利用固体潮理论模型分析了固体潮与地震触发的相关性。结果表明,本次M_S5.1地震发生在龙泉山断裂带北段,震中坐标为(30.732°N,104.529°E),震源深度为15.12 km;震源位于高-低泊松比过渡带附近,并伴随着大范围的低速异常,初步推断与深部流体有关;同时,固体潮在断层面上产生的剪切应力变化,也可能与本次地震的触发密切相关,暗示着在地震发生前龙泉山北段的地震危险性已经达到了较高水平。因此深部流体侵入作用、强震同震效应以及特定孕震构造环境的综合影响可能是导致本次地震触发的主要因素。     

汶川—映秀MS8.0地震的发震断裂带和形成的深层动力学响应

在印度洋板块与欧亚板块的碰撞-挤压作用下,不仅形成了喜马拉雅弧形山造山带,而且导致其东部弧顶—东构造结似一尖楔沿NNE方向插入青藏高原的东北缘.造成了巴颜喀拉块体和龙门山断裂系深、浅部构造强烈活动和变形,并导致高原腹地壳、幔物质以大型走滑断裂为通道边界向E-ES方向运移.2008年5月12日汶川—映秀M_S8.0地震就发生在这相对活动的巴颜喀拉块体与相对稳定的四川盆地之间的龙门山断裂系辖区内.基于该区深部壳、幔结构和主震（M_S8.0）与7万多次余震震中位置与震源深度的展布研究表明,汶川—映秀M_S8.0地震的发震断裂不是震中在地表投影位置附近,而是龙门山断裂系3条以不同角度西倾、且向下在15±5 km深处汇聚的断裂带CF.该发震断裂带不是一条简单的线性断裂带,而是一半径为5 km左右的柱状震源体,沿NE向展布.在青藏高原东北缘深部物质向东与向东南运动过程中地壳各层整体逐渐抬升,且在龙门山断裂系地带为减薄的转折部位,而地壳低速层却在这里尖灭.在两陆-陆板块碰撞力系作用下,壳、幔介质以上地壳底部低速层（深20±5 km）为上滑移面,并与上地壳解耦,而在深处则以岩石圈底部漂曳的软流层顶部（深100±10 km）为下滑移,故下地壳和上地幔盖层物质才能同步运动.它们在四川盆地高速“刚性”壳、幔物质阻隔下,龙门山断裂系的3条向下汇聚的断裂带与下地壳和上地幔盖层物质同步沿龙门山断裂系的断层面向上逆冲,当向上与向下同步运动的固态壳、幔介质二者在15±5 km深处强烈碰撞时激发了这次M_S8.0地震和一系列强余震的发生和发展.基于上述可见,对强烈地震孕育,发生和发展的深部介质与构造环境,深部物质与能量的交换、运移和深层动力过程的研究乃核心所在.     

四川芦山MS7.0地震震源区及其周边区域P波三维速度结构研究

利用四川数字地震台网和流动地震台站在芦山M_S7.0地震震后(2013年4月20日—6月23日)记录到的2026次区域地震事件的28188条P波到时资料,采用地震层析成像方法反演得到了芦山地震震源区及其周边区域中上地壳P波三维速度结构. 结果表明,浅部地壳的P波速度异常分布特征与地表地质构造、 地形和岩性密切相关,即成都断陷盆地表现出与第四纪沉积有关的低速异常区;犍为、 乐山一带的川中微升区和川青块体龙门山以西的邻近地带均表现为与构造抬升有关的高速异常;宝兴、 康定附近分布的基性火山岩及火山碎屑岩均呈局部高速异常分布. 芦山地震震源位于高低速异常分界线附近且偏向高速体一侧,其下方存在明显的低速异常分布,可能与流体的存在有关. 流体的作用导致中上地壳内部发震层的弱化,使孕震断层易于破裂,可能对芦山地震起到了触发作用. 芦山地震与汶川地震两次地震的余震密集区相距50 km,这50 km地震空区震源体的深度范围附近目前正处于高速异常区内,加之龙门山断裂带西南段又具有比较典型的断错地貌发育,使得该段地震空区(大邑—邛崃活动断裂破裂空段)现在所处的深浅部构造环境变得复杂,其潜在的地震危险性仍值得进一步关注.      

PISHAN MS6.5 EARTHQUAKE OF XINJIANG: A FOLD EARTHQUAKE EVENT IN THE WEST KUNLUN PIEDMONT

The Pishan M_S6.5 earthquake occurred in the west Kunlun piedmont area. According to the surface deformation data obtained by the Pishan M_S6.5 earthquake emergency field investigation team, combined with the positioning accuracy of spatial distribution of aftershocks information, the focal mechanism solutions and deep oil profile data, we think the Pishan M_S6.5 earthquake is a typical thrust faulting event, and the seismogenic structure is the Pishan reverse fault-anticline, which did not produced obvious surface fault zone on the surface. In the vicinity of the core of the Pishan anticline, we found some tensional ground fissures whose strikes are all basically consistent with the anticline. We propose that the surface deformation is caused by the folding and uplift of the anticline. The Pishan earthquake is a typical folding earthquake. The tectonic deformation of the west Kunlun piedmont is dominated by the thickening and shortening of the upper crust which is the typical thin-skinned nappe tectonic. The Pishan earthquake occurred in the frontal tectonic belt, the root fault of the nappe structure has not been broken, and we should pay attention to the seismic risk of the Tekilik Fault.     

1631年湖南省常德地震的再考证

1631年(明崇祯4年)在常德附近发生了一次破坏性地震,前人对该地震作过探讨研究,曾给出了4个等震线图和震中定位。文中在重新查阅历史记载资料的基础上,重新绘制了该地震的等震线,其极震区的烈度为Ⅸ度,相对应的震级为级。以该地震内圈等震线的几何中心为震中,根据梅世蓉-萨瓦连斯基有关震中烈度、震级和震源深度之间的统计关系,以及谢毓寿的统计结果,得到的震源深度为15～18km。最后文中还讨论了历史资料考证、判别的问题和不同地基条件的影响     

2014年2月12日新疆于田MS7.3地震序列及其构造背景研究

2014年2月12日新疆于田发生M_S7.3地震,该震前1天曾发生M_S5.4前震,震后余震活动频繁.截止到2月20日12时,该地震序列记录到4000多次余震,最大余震为2月12日M_S5.7地震,序列类型为前震—主震—余震型.该地震前震的b值明显低于该区域正常活动的b值和余震的b值.这次地震位于西昆仑断裂带与阿尔金断裂带的交汇区域的阿什库勒断裂北段,震源机制解为走滑型.余震区NE向长70 km、宽20 km,分为主余震分布区和次余震分布区,其中M_L4.0以上强余震基本位于NE向主余震分布区,N--S向的次余震分布区则以M_L3.0左右地震分布为主,显示该部分可能受到主震的触发作用.于田地区曾发生的2008年3月21日M_S7.3地震的震源机制解为正断型,距这次地震约100 km;2012年8月12日发生的M_S6.2地震的震源机制解为正断型,距这次地震约10 km.该地区的发震构造背景是:在NE向阿尔金断裂带尾端向SW方向延伸过程中,左旋走滑作用逐渐转换为拉张作用,形成多条左旋走滑兼具拉张作用的断裂. 2014年于田M_S7.3地震的发震模式表现为:左旋走滑的阿什库勒断裂北段与南段因速率差异而产生的小型构造盆地,在区域拉张作用力下顺时针旋转;2008年M_S7.3张性地震后区域的伸展作用增强,导致盆地南侧的苦牙克断裂发生2012年M_S6.2张性地震,该地震引起2014年M_S5.4前震,两者激发其后在盆地北侧阿什库勒断裂发生了2014年M_S7.3主震.      

ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE OF THE 2017 MS7.0 JIUZHAIGOU EARTHQUAKE REGION AND THE EASTERN TERMINUS OF THE EAST KUNLUN FAULT

The East Kunlun Fault is a giant fault in northern Tibetan, extending eastward and a boundary between the Songpan-Ganzi block and the West Qinling orogenic zone. The East Kunlun Fault branches out into a horsetail structure which is formed by several branch faults. The 2017 Jiuzhaigou M_S7.0 earthquake occurred in the horsetail structure of the East Kunlun Fault and caused huge casualties. As one of several major faults that regulate the expansion of the Tibetan plateau, the complexity of the deep extension geometry of the East Kunlun Fault has also attracted a large number of geophysical exploration studies in this area, but only a few are across the Jiuzhaigou earthquake region. Changes in pressure or slip caused by the fluid can cause changes in fault activity. The presence of fluid can cause the conductivity of the rock mass inside the fault zone to increase significantly. MT method is the most sensitive geophysical method to reflect the conductivity of the rock mass. Thus MT is often used to study the segmented structure of active fault zones. In recent years MT exploration has been carried out in several earthquake regions and the results suggest that the location of main shock and aftershocks are controlled by the resistivity structure. In order to study the deep extension characteristics of the East Kunlun Fault and the distribution of the medium properties within the fault zone, we carried out a MT exploration study across the Tazang section of the East Kunlun Fault in 2016. The profile in this study crosses the Jiuzhaigou earthquake region. Other two MT profiles that cross the Maqu section of East Kunlun Fault performed by previous researches are also collected. Phase tensor decomposition is used in this paper to analyze the dimensionality and the change in resistivity with depth. The structure of Songpan-Ganzi block is simple from deep to shallow. The structure of West Qinlin orogenic zone is complex in the east and simple in the west. The structure near the East Kunlun Fault is complex. We use 3D inversion to image the three MT profiles and obtained 3D electrical structure along three profiles. The root-mean-square misfit of inversions is 2.60 and 2.70. Our results reveal that in the tightened northwest part of the horsetail structure, the East Kunlun Fault, the Bailongjiang Fault, and the Guanggaishan-Dieshan Fault are electrical boundaries that dip to the southwest. The three faults combine in the mid-lower crust to form a "flower structure" that expands from south to north. In the southeastward spreading part of the horsetail structure, the north section of the Huya Fault is an electrical boundary that extends deep. The Tazang Fault has obvious smaller scale than the Huya Fault. The Minjiang Fault is an electrical boundary in the upper crust. The Huya Fault and the Tazang Fault form a one-side flower structure. The Bailongjiang and the Guanggaishan-Dieshan Fault form a "flower structure" that expands from south to north too. The two "flower structures" combine in the high conductivity layer of mid-lower crust. In Songpan-Ganzi block, there is a three-layer structure where the second layer is a high conductivity layer. In the West Qinling orogenic zone, there is a similar structure with the Songpan-Ganzi block, but the high conductivity layer in the West Qinling orogenic zone is shallower than the high conductivity layer in the Songpan-Ganzi block. The hypocenter of 2017 M_S7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake is between the high and low resistivity bodies at the shallow northeastern boundary of the high conductivity layer. The low resistivity body is prone to move and deform. The high resistivity body blocked the movement of low resistivity body. Such a structure and the movement mode cause the uplift near the East Kunlun Fault. The electrical structure and rheological structure of Jiuzhaigou earthquake region suggest that the focal depth of the earthquake is less than 11km. The Huya Fault extends deeper than the Tazang Fault. The seismogenic fault of the 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake is the Huya Fault. The high conductivity layer is deep in the southwest and shallow in the northeast, which indicates that the northeast movement of Tibetan plateau is the cause of the 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake.     

唐山地震区地壳结构和构造:深地震反射剖面结果

1976年7月28日,在唐山地区发生了7.8级大地震.为了研究该区的地壳结构和断裂的深浅构造关系,2009年,我们在唐山市南部的丰南地区,跨唐山断裂带完成了1条道间距40m、炮间距200m、50次覆盖的深地震反射探测剖面.结果表明:研究区的地壳厚度为32 ～ 34km,莫霍面自东向西逐渐加深,在丰南县和宣庄镇之间,中-...

穿过郯庐断裂带中段（沂沭断裂带,36°N）所做的大地电磁测深（MT）剖面长约150km.使用Robust技术和远参考道大地电磁方法处理观测数据.通过分析视电阻率、阻抗相位、Swift二维偏离度和区域走向,定性确定测区的电性结构.二维反演解释中选择非线性共轭梯度（NLCG）方法,使用TE、TM两种模式资料联合反演,沿剖面的二维电性结构显示：自西向东,鲁西隆起、郯庐断裂带、胶莱坳陷及鲁东隆起4个电性区块分别对应,鲁东和鲁西隆起区为高阻,郯庐断裂带电性结构复杂,高、低阻相间,胶莱坳陷为低阻（高导）区.沿MT剖面附近曾发生3个地震,其震源区处在电性变化剧烈部位,并在震源区附近存在高导体.     

岷山隆起带与西秦岭构造带中段中上地壳电性结构特征

岷山隆起带与西秦岭构造带中段位于青藏高原物质东向流动的必经之处,又是南北地震带的组成部分和GPS速度场非连续性衰减和转换的关键部位,其地壳结构及地壳变形机制受到国内外地质地球物理学家的广泛关注,了解研究区深部细结构及主要边界断裂空间展布特征,对青藏高原隆升机制及中强地震孕震构造的研究有重要意义.本文依托分别横跨岷山隆起带及西秦岭构造带中段的两条大地电磁剖面(SG-WQL-L1与SG-WQL-L2)小点距观测数据,采用大地电磁相位张量分解技术对两条剖面上各个测点的电性走向、二维偏离度进行计算分析,根据分析结果对原始数据进行主轴方位角校正处理,进一步采用NLCG(非线性共轭梯度)二维反演方法开展TE与TM模式的相位和电阻率联合反演,获取沿剖面方向30 km以浅的电阻率结构模型,并完成了地质地球物理综合解释.两条大地电磁剖面勘探成果揭示出,马尔康地块中上地壳发育的壳内低阻层与峨山隆起上地壳低阻体在深部交汇,岷江断裂带与虎牙断裂带受控于马尔康地块与岷山隆起带上地壳底部的滑脱面,滑脱面呈现往东角度逐渐变陡峭的趋势且在岷江附近出现"断坡"构造,历史强震震源深度显示虎牙断裂为岷山隆起带新生代强震的发震断裂;西秦岭构造带中段中上地壳沿剖面方向表现为横向分块、纵向分层的电性结构特征,中地壳12~25 km左右发育厚度不等的壳内低阻层,壳内低阻层多与研究区次级地块的边界断裂在深部交汇,次级地块以及区分次级地块的活动断裂带可能是GPS速度场在研究区呈现非连续性的递减并伴随方向转换的构造成因;青藏高原内部的软流圈物质向NE和SSE流动,驱动巴颜喀拉地块东缘上地壳沿中上地壳低阻层东向运移,受到摩天岭高阻地块的阻挡作用,软弱的岷山隆起带发生地壳褶皱变形并向东逆冲推覆从而形成高耸的岷山山脉,岷江断裂与虎牙断裂的左旋运动加速了岷山的隆起.     

大地电磁资料精细处理和二维反演解释技术研究(七)——云南盈江——龙陵地震区深部电性结构及孕震环境

本文对一条布设在滇西盈江—龙陵地区的大地电磁剖面(苏典—中山剖面)数据进行了精细处理和二维反演解释,得到了测区较高置信度的二维电性结构.该电性模型纵向上表现为高阻-低阻-高阻的"三明治"式岩石圈电性结构,上地壳为平均厚度约为10km的高阻地层,在约6～16km地壳深度范围发育有电阻率为几欧姆米的显著高导层,下地壳底部和上地幔顶部表现为电性较为均匀的相对高阻层.横向上自西向东划分出以大盈江断裂带、龙陵—瑞丽断裂带为限的3个主要构造区域.壳内分布的高导层沿剖面表现出一定的横向不均匀性,其在龙陵—瑞丽断裂带下方消失,在该处形成了腾冲地块和保山地块的电性构造边界.电性结构表明,大盈江断裂附近高导层顶界面浅,两侧高阻体厚度小,因此难以形成较大规模的相互作用,致其附近浅震源、小震级的地震活跃;龙陵—瑞丽断裂两侧的高阻体较厚,易积累较大的应力,具有大震的深部孕震环境,故其附近发生过多次7级以上强震.     

FINE ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE BENEATH THE EPICENTER OF 1668 TANCHENG MS8.5 EARTHQUAKE REVEALED BY MT SOUNDING

In order to understand the mechanism of the 1668 M_S8.5 earthquake occurred in Tancheng, it is important to probe the fine deep geological structure beneath the epicenter. A MT profile 20km south of the epicenter has been deployed. There are 17 sites along the profile, with a 3km average separation. Signals in Ex, Ey, Hx and Hy were measured in a cross manner, with x-axis orientated to the north. Record length for each site was at least 20h. The impedance and phase at sites in high cultural noisy environment were estimated by remote reference technique. As the Tanlu Fault Zone(TLFZ)is in NNE, nearly northerly, thus YX mode was considered as TM mode. Gauss-Newton inversion was done in 2-D mode with only the TM impedance and phase as input data. The electrical sections of 10km and 40km depth were respectively obtained after 8 iterations. The both initial models were created by Bostic approximation. The sections reveal the following features. The TLFZ consists of five faults, from east to west numbered as F₀ to F₄. F₁ is the primary fault, steeply dipping west down to mantle, which has turned into a buried one overthrust by the east dipping Fault F₀. F₂ and F₃ dip east at 45 degrees, parallel to F₄, truncated by F₁ at depth. F₄ dips east in the shallow subsurface and gradually dips to west toward depth through the entire crust merging with F₁ to form a bigger one. These four faults constitute a flower-shaped structure, showing the nature of strike-slip of the TLFZ, associated with normal faulting in the late Yanshanian to early Himalayan. F₁ dips west, overthrust by east-dipping F₀, implying the compression from the westward subduction of the Pacific plate, thus present-day compression is superposed on the early tensile and strike-slip feature. Based on MT data, it is inferred that the 1668 Tancheng M8.5 earthquake occurred at the junction of F₁ and F₃ about 15km deep. Thus it was likely resulted from westward compression of the Pacific plate, leading to thrust of the Sulu uplift along F₀, inducing activity of F₁ at depth, reactivated F₃, and adjusting the stress distribution in the region.     

STUDY ON THE SEISMOGENIC FAULT AND DYNAMICS PARAME-TERS OF THE 2014 MS6.6 JINGGU EARTHQUAKE IN YUNNAN

On October 17, 2014, a M_S6.6 earthquake occurred in Jinggu, Yunnan. The epicenter was located in the western branch of Wuliang Mountain, the northwest extension line of Puwen Fault. There are 2 faults in the surrounding area, one is a sinistral strike-slip and the other is the dextral. Two faults have mutual intersection with conjugate joints property to form a checkerboard faulting structure. The structure of the area of the focal region is complex. The present-day tectonic movement is strong, and the aftershock distribution indicates the faulting surface trending NNW. There is no obvious surface rupture related to the known fault in the epicenter, and there is a certain distance from the surface of the Puwen fault zone. Regional seismic activity is strong. In 1941, there were two over magnitude 7.0 earthquakes in the south of the epicenter of Jinggu County and Mengzhe Town. In 1988, two mainshock-aftershock type earthquakes occurred in Canglan-Gengma Counties, the principal stress axes of the whole seismic area is in the direction of NNE. Geological method can be adopted to clarify the distribution of surficial fracture caused by active faults, and high-precision seismic positioning and spatial distribution characteristics of seismic sequences can contribute to understand deep seismogenic faults and geometric features. Thus, we can better analyze the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of seismotectonics and the deep and shallow tectonic relationship. The focal mechanism reveals the property and faulting process to a certain extent, which can help us understand not only the active property of faults, but also the important basis for deep tectonic stress and seismogenic mechanism. In order to study the fault characteristic of the Jinggu earthquake, the stress field characteristics of the source area and the geometric parameters of the fault plane, this paper firstly uses the 15 days aftershock data of the Jingsuo M_S6.6 earthquake, to precisely locate the main shock and aftershock sequences using double-difference location method. The results show that the aftershock sequences have clustering characteristics along the NW direction, with a depth mainly of 5~15km. Based on the precise location, calculations are made to the focal mechanisms of a total of 46 earthquakes including the main shock and aftershocks with M_L ≥ 3.0 of the Jinggu earthquake. The double-couple(DC)component of the focal mechanism of the main shock shows that nodal plane Ⅰ:The strike is 239°, the dip 81°, and the rake -22°; nodal plane Ⅱ, the strike is 333°, the dip 68°, and the rake -170.31°. According to focal mechanism solutions, there are 42 earthquakes with a focal mechanism of strike-slip type, accounting for 91.3%. According to the distribution of the aftershock sequence, it can be inferred that the nodal plane Ⅱ is the seismogenic fault. The obtained focal mechanism is used to invert the stress field in the source region. The distribution of horizontal maximum principal stress orienation is concentrated. The main features of the regional tectonic stress field are under the NNE-SSW compression(P axis)and the NW-SE extension(T axis)and are also affected by NNW direction stress fields in the central region of Yunnan, which indicates that Jinggu earthquake fault, like Gengma earthquake, is a new NW-trending fault which is under domination of large-scale tectonic stress and effected by local tectonic stress environment. In order to define more accurately the occurrence of the fault plane of the Jinggu earthquake, with the precise location results and the stress field in the source region, the global optimal solution of the fault plane parameters and its error are obtained by using both global searching simulated annealing algorithm and local searching Gauss-Newton method. Since the parameters of the fault plane fitting process use the stress parameters obtained by the focal mechanism inversion, the data obtained by the fault plane fitting is more representative of the rupture plane, that is, the strike 332.75°, the dip 89.53°, and the rake -167.12°. The buried depth of the rupture plane is 2.746km, indicating that the source fault has not cut through the surface. Based on the stress field characteristics and the inversion results of the fault plane, it is preliminarily believed that the seismogenic structure of the Jinggu earthquake is a newly generated nearly vertical right-lateral strike-slip fault with normal component. The rupture plane length is about 17.2km, which does not extend to the Puwen fault zone. Jinggu earthquake occurred in Simao-Puer seismic region in the south of Sichuan-Yunnan plate. Its focal mechanism solution is similar to that of the three sub-events of the Gengma earthquake in November 1988. The seismogenic structure of both of them is NW-trending and the principal stress is NE-SW. The rupture plane of the Jinggu main shock(NW direction)is significantly different from the known near NS direction Lancang Fault and the near NE direction Jinggu Fault in the study area. It is preliminarily inferred that the seismogenic structure of this earthquake has a neogenetic feature.

滇西三江构造带电性结构特征——以福贡—巧家剖面为例

为查明滇西三江构造带及邻区复杂的构造特征,并揭示该区深部电性结构,沿福贡—巧家布设了一条长约410 km的大地电磁剖面.共观测到61个物理点,其中宽频大地电磁测点41个,长周期大地电磁测点20个.通过对采集到的数据进行一系列的处理、反演,得到了沿剖面的壳幔电性结构模型.并结合研究区内区域地质资料及其他地球物理资料,对剖面所经过的各个主要地质构造单元及主要断裂带进行了综合解释.电性结构模型揭示沿剖面地壳电性层次复杂,深部电性结构由西往东呈分块展布,横向变化大,壳内广泛发育低阻异常.在中甸构造带(香格里拉地块)和盐源—永胜构造带深部壳幔存在大规模低阻异常,这可能与地下局部熔融体和地热流有关;康滇构造带壳幔存在大规模高阻异常,表明地壳中曾经有地幔物质侵入;在大凉山构造带地下10~50 km深处存在一呈横向“半月形”展布的低阻体,电阻率值不满10Ωm,结合地质资料与前人的研究成果,推测该低阻体成因应与青藏高原东南缘“地壳管道流”有一定关联.
