雅鲁藏布大峡谷地区构造和地震活动特征

雅鲁藏布大峡谷地区位于喜马拉雅东构造结前锋地带,新构造运动和地震活动都十分强烈,两者关系密切。区内发育有北北东-北东向和北西西-北西向两组断裂构造,调查研究表明,它们的规模、性质、活动时代、活动强度等特征具有明显的差异：北西西-北西向断裂规模较大,多为逆冲、逆走滑断层,形成较早;北北东-北东向断裂单条规模相对不大,常集中分布,构成北北东向的剪切拉张断裂构造带,形成较晚,第四纪晚期活动明显。强震主要发生在喜马拉雅山差异运动强烈地带或地段,如块体周边的深大断裂带及其附近。7级以L地震主要与断裂构造带中规模较大、全新世强烈活动段、断裂几何构造复杂部位或多组方向断裂交汇密切相关。其中,7．5级以上地震发生在断裂构造带中走滑分量较大的北西向和北东向断裂带上。     

海原、六盘山断裂带至银川断陷第四纪构造应力场分析

利用断层滑动资料反演构造应力张量从而确定出海原、六盘山断裂带至银川断陷的第四纪两期构造应力场 :早更新世末期以前 ,为北东—南西挤压型构造应力场 ,由此造成该地区断裂活动主要以逆断为主 ;早更新世末期至中更新世以后 ,构造应力场发生了调整 ,主压应力方向由早期的北东—南西改变为北东东—南西西 ,应力结构由挤压型转变为走滑型 ,并导致断裂活动由早期的逆断为主变为走滑为主 ,这种应力场格局一直持续至今。研究区现代构造应力场可划分为 :海原断裂带走滑应力区、六盘山逆断 -走滑混合应力区和银川断陷拉张应力区

张家口-蓬莱断裂带地震构造特征的初步探讨

北西向张家口－蓬莱断裂带由近２０条北西至北西西向断裂组成,是一条对新生代区域地质构造发育起到重要控制作用的地壳构造带。断裂带新生代活动由中部向西北和东南部发展,总体表现左旋走滑性质。断裂带有山西断陷盆地带等几条北东向活动构造带与之交汇,形成北西和北东向两组断裂相互交切的构造组合,出现５个复杂的构造交接段。６级以上强震和大多数中小地震群集于这些地段,其中北西和北东向断裂都可能发生地震,显示共轭破裂错动特征,但北东向断裂发生的地震强度较大。张北－尚义６．２级地震发生于断裂带与山西断陷盆地带交接段的西缘,是断裂带向西北扩展的结果     

营口潍坊断裂带新生代活动的特征

营潍断裂带以北西向北京 蓬莱断裂带与之交汇的部位为界分南北两段,北段由辫状交织的两条断裂组成;南段为并列的东西两支断裂,但被黄北、莱北和潍北等北东东向断裂横切成4节。断裂带北段早第三纪水平拉张和垂直差异活动强烈,控制了断陷盆地的发育,晚第三纪—第四纪右旋走滑活动显著。南段本身活动甚弱,但黄北等横向断裂早第三纪水平拉张和垂直差异活动强烈,相应形成了黄北等几个断陷盆地;晚第三纪—第四纪横向断裂仍有活动。断裂带活动具明显的分段性,南段是受横向断裂强烈分割、改造而被“废弃”的一段。断裂带新生代活动具由南部和北部统一向中部迁移的特点,北段还有向东侧迁移的趋势。断裂带地震活动微弱,渤海中部斜穿断裂带分布的北东向地震带,可能是黄河口聊城新生地震构造带向海区延伸的部分     

1969年渤海7．4级地震区地质构造和发震构造的初步研究

根据石油地质勘探资料和地震学等研究的成果,对1969年渤海7.4级地震的构造条件作了具体而较深入的分析,填补了华北渤海大震区地震构造研究的空白.震区位于渤海湾新生代裂陷盆地的东部,地处北北东向营潍断裂带与北西向北京-蓬莱断裂带交汇的地区.早第三纪断陷阶段,该区于地壳上部主要发育北北东、北西和东西向3组断裂,呈铲状和平面状形态,正断性质,多属断陷主断裂.晚第三纪以来的拗陷阶段,先存断裂有不同程度的活动;同时还新发育一条北东向黄河口-庙西北断裂带.7.4级地震的震源断层走向为北东45°,倾向南东,近于直立,呈右旋走滑性质,埋藏于15～34km的深度范围.大震的发震断裂不是营潍断裂带,而是黄河口-庙西北新生断裂带.     

张家口-渤海地震构造带的地壳形变研究

华北北部地区的张家口-渤海断裂带是控制现代强震的一条地震构造带。新近纪以来,在区域NEE向主压应力的作用下,新发育了一系列的NE向构造活动带,与张家口-渤海断裂带组成1组共轭的剪切破裂系统,控制了近代强震的发生。文中主要探讨了这条断裂带的地壳形变特征。长趋势GPS地壳形变图像反映了这条活动断裂带相对完整的左旋走滑活动。分期的地壳形变图像揭示了在中强地震前,沿该断裂带出现一系列的NE向梯度异常带,分别指示了唐山-河间、三河-涞水以及延怀-山西地震构造活动带的活动,表明了沿张家口-渤海断裂带出现了中强地震的中期前兆。研究认为,强震前地壳形变揭示的是深部蕴震层的应变活动信息,而强震之后比较杂乱的图像特征体现了盖层的调整运动     

四川地区强震与发震构造几何结构特征关系的探讨

本文通过近些年来对四川活动断裂与强震关系的研究，初步总结了四川地区强震与发震构造几何结构特征的关系。作者认为：走滑断层的斜列状结构，断层的交叉，大断裂带的末端，断裂上的枢纽、弯曲、转折部位以及断裂带上的横向隆起、拗主其交替部位都可能是发震构造的结构特征，亦是强震易于发生的部位，这对地震危险区域潜在震源区的划分及其地基预报、地震区划和工程区地震安全性评价具有重要的意义。     

2023年12月18日甘肃省积石山6.2级地震的控震构造及特征

2023年12月18日23时59分在甘肃省临夏州积石山县发生6.2级地震,造成了严重人员伤亡,及时了解此次地震的发震构造及其特征,对于分析区域未来强震危险性具有重要意义。综合区域地震构造、地质、震源机制、地震烈度和余震重定位等资料,对此次地震的控震构造及特征进行综合分析后认为,此次强震是发生在西宁—兰州断块内部的一次北北西向逆冲断层作用事件,距震中最近的拉脊山逆冲断裂带构成了此次地震的控震构造。该断裂带处于北西向日月山右旋走滑断层与北西西向西秦岭北缘左旋走滑断层交汇部位,整体呈北西至北北西向弧形展布,包含了南缘与北缘两条倾向相反的分支断裂带。震中位置、余震及烈度分布等数据指示此次地震的具体发震断层为拉脊山北缘逆冲断裂带南段的东支断层带,余震分布和极震区范围等符合逆断层型地震的上盘效应特征,但是否引起同震地表变形,还需进一步的现场调查确定。综合研究认为,此次积石山地震是在印度与欧亚板块持续陆陆碰撞作用下,青藏高原东北缘的西宁—兰州断块沿海原左旋走滑断裂向东侧向滑移过程中,在北东向挤压构造应力场下,引发日月山断层与西秦岭北缘断层构成的区域共扼走滑断裂系交汇挤压部位发生逆断层活动的结果。此次...     

川滇地区活动块体边界断裂现今运动和应力分布

基于川滇地区活动块体划分及断裂构造现有认知,文中构建了包含块体主要边界断裂的二维有限元接触模型,利用1991—2015年长期GPS观测结果,采用"块体加载"方法模拟块体边界带现今的运动,得到了断裂滑动速率和应力分布.结合震源机制解、地震活动性等资料,对川滇地区大型左旋走滑断裂带滑动速率分配、传递与应力转换的关联,局部区域正断型震源机制解的构造机制以及红河断裂南、北段地震活动性差异的可能成因进行了初步探讨.主要结论包括:1)东昆仑断裂带和鲜水河-小江断裂带的左旋走滑由NW向转变为近SN向,断裂强烈转折区吸收了部分走滑分量并转化为应变积累,呈高应力分布特征.2)受小江断裂左旋剪切的影响,红河断裂中南段以右旋走滑兼微弱挤压运动为主,并牵引断裂北段右旋走滑,与金沙江和德钦-中甸断裂共同构成右阶斜列右旋剪切变形带,正断型震源机制解多分布于该变形带的构造拉分区内.3)红河断裂中南段为弱压性,北段呈弱张性,更易破裂,地震活动明显强于中南段.     

Stable Continental Region Earthquakes in South China

— This paper reviews some remarkable characteristics of earthquakes in a Stable Continental Region (SCR) of the South China Block (SCB). The kernel of the SCB is the Yangtze platform solidified in late Proterozoic time, with continental growth to the southeast by a series of fold belts in Paleozoic time. The facts that the deviatoric stress is low, the orientations of the major tectonic features in the SCB are substantially normal to the maximum horizontal principal stress, and a relatively uniform crust, seem to be the major reasons for lack of significant seismicity in most regions of the SCB. Earthquakes in this region are mainly associated with three seismic zones: (1) the Southeast China Coast seismic zone related to Guangdong-Fujian coastal folding belt (associated with Eurasia-Philippine Sea plate collision); (2) the Southern Yellow Sea seismic zone associated with continental shelf rifts and basins; and (3) the Downstream Yangtze River seismic zone spatially coinciding with Tertiary rifts and basin development. All three seismic zones are close to one or two major economic and population centers in the SCB so that they pose significant seismic hazards. Earthquake focal mechanisms in the SCB are consistent with strike-slip to normal faulting stress regimes. Because of the global and national economic significance of the SCB and its dense population, the seismic hazard of the region is of outstanding importance. Comparing the SCB with another less developed region, a pending earthquake with the same size and tectonic setting would cause substantially more severe social and economic losses in the SCB. This paper also compiles an inventory of historic moderate to great earthquakes in the SCB; most of the data are not widely available in English literature.     

Crust-mantle structure feature and the seismic activity of the main tectonic units in the North Tanlu fault zone

IntroductionThe Northern Tanlu fault zone (from Yingkou to Luobei) crosses the northeast mainland ofChina. Because of its large scale, long history activity and controlling earthquakes prominently, itis paid closely attention by geologists, and a imp amount of geological survey has been done inthese years (Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources of Liaoning Province, 1989; Bureau ofGeology and Mineral Resources of Jinn Province, 1988; Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources of Heilongi…     

The constraints of strain partitioning and geochronology in Luonan-Luanchuan tectonic belts on Qinling orogenic belt

The Luonan-Luanchuan tectonic belt lies between the North China Block and Qinling Mountains, including the Luonan-Luanchuan fault zone and the strong deformation zone to the north of the fault. The ductile shear zone, imbricate brittle fault and duplex structure in the fault zone now are the expression of the same tectonic event in different depth. Such lineation structure exists in the tectonic belts as mineral lineation, elongation lineation, crenulation lineation, sheath folds and so on, indicating NE-directed plate motion. Fold axes and thrusts in the strong deformation zone are inclined to the Luonan-Luanchuan fault zone at small angles. The structures with different natures show a regular pattern, produced during oblique convergence of plates. The convergence factors are as follows: The direction of plate convergence is 22°, 31° and the angle between the plate convergence direction and plate boundary is 73°, 82° respectively in the west and east segment. The Luonan-Luanchuan tectonic belt was deformed strongly in 372 Ma, resulted from Erlangping back-arc ocean basin subduction sinistrally and obliquely to North China Block during the collision of North China Block and South China Block.

EVIDENCES OF THE LATE QUATERNARY ACTIVITY OF THE ANGREN SEGMENT OF THE YARLUNG TSANGPO FAULT ZONE

The Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone, one of the most important geological interfaces in the Yarlung Tsangbo suture zone which is a huge geotectonic boundary with nearly east-west-trending in southern Tibet Plateau, has undergone a long-term tectonic evolution. Studying this fault zone can help us understand the development and evolution history of the suture zone and the tectonic mechanism of subduction-collision about the Tibet Plateau, so it has always been a hot topic in the field of geology. Most of existing data suggest that the current tectonic activity in southern Tibet is given priority to the rift system with nearly north-south-trending, and the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone with nearly east-west-trending has relatively weaker activity since late Quaternary. There are only some evidences of Holocene activity found in the Lulang town section near eastern Himalayan syntaxis, and there are few reports about the reliable geological evidences of late Quaternary activity of the section on the west of Milin County of the fault zone. Based on image interpretation, field investigation and chronological method, we found several fault profiles along the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone near the Angren Lake in this study. These profiles reveal that loose fault gouge has been developed on the fault plane which nearly extends to the surface and offsets the loess sediments and its overlying alluvial-proluvial gravels. The loess is characterized by coarser grains, higher content of fine sand and tiny small gravels. The results of the two OSL dating samples collected in the loess are(94.68±6.51)ka and(103.84±5.14)ka respectively, showing that the loess revealed at the Angren site should be the middle-late Pleistocene sand loess distributed on the high-terraces along the Yarlung Tsangpo River. Consequently, the Angren segment of the Yarlung Tsangpo fault zone is active since the late Quaternary. In addition, synchronous left-lateral offsets of a series of small gullies and beheaded gullies can be seen near the profiles along the fault, which are the supporting evidence for the late Quaternary activity of the fault. However, the segment with obvious geomorphology remains is relatively short, and no evidence of late Quaternary activity have been found in other sections on the west of Milin County of the Yarlung Tsangpo fault zone. Existing data show that, in the southern Tibet, a series of near NS-trending rift systems are strongly active since the late Quaternary, cutting almost all of the near east-west-trending tectonic belts including the Yarlung Tsangpo fault zone. In addition, majority of the earthquakes occurring in southern Tibet are related to the NS-trending rift systems. Tectonic images show that the Angren segment locates between the Shenzha-Dingjie rift and the Dangreyong Lake-Gu Lake rift. These two adjacent rifts are special in the rift system in southern Tibet:Firstly, the two rifts are located in the conversion position of the trend of the whole rift system; Secondly, the size of the two rifts varies significantly between the north side and the south side of the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone. Thirdly, the Shenzha-Dingjie rift seems to be of right-lateral bending, while the Dangreyong Lake-Gu Lake rift shows left-lateral bending. These characteristics may lead to the fact that the amount of absorption and accommodation of the rift activities in the north side of the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone is larger than that in the south side during the migration of the plateau materials, leading to the differential movement of the block between the two sides of the fault zone. Therefore, the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone possesses the accommodating tectonic activity, of course, the intensity of this accommodating activity is limited and relatively weaker, which may be the reason why it is difficult to find large-scale tectonic remains characterizing the late Quaternary activity along the fault zone. The scale of the rift system in southern Tibet is systematically different between the two sides of the Yarlung Tsangbo fault zone, so it cannot be ruled out that there are also weak activities similar to the Angren segment in other sections of the fault zone.     

张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场时空变化特征

利用2016—2018年3期华北地区流动地磁矢量原始测量资料, 经数据计算获得2期华北地区和张家口—渤海地震活动带及邻区岩石圈磁场时空变化模型。 研究结果显示: 张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场变化空间分布不均匀, 具有明显的分区特征, 在张家口段(西段)与北京段(中西段)分界处和北京段(中西段)与唐山段(中东段)分界处岩石圈磁场各要素具有明显的异常变化, 如水平矢量存在转向和幅值变化, 磁偏角与磁倾角具有正负异常高梯度带的特征, 这与张家口—渤海地震带构造分段性特征密切相关。 张家口—渤海地震带位于燕山块体与华北平原块体之间, 两者运动的平动速率之差是张家口—渤海地震带左旋走滑的直接动力来源, 而各断裂带左旋走滑速率之差很可能是岩石圈磁场空间变化分段性分布的主要原因。     

长江带现代地震构造应力场分布特征

大震前宏观异常的机理研究

主要通过对1975年海城地震前出现的宏观异常现象的分析,推测大震前在震源区的地下岩体中就已产生了贯通到近地面的规模不等的宏观裂缝,在构造应力场的持续作用下裂缝会进一步的扩张、错动和贯通形成更大规模的裂缝.而发震断层实际上是主震前沿发震断裂上的裂缝最后一次扩张、错动和贯通的结果.论证了大震之前这些裂缝的进一步的扩张以及沿这些裂缝热物质的上涌导致了震前形式多样的各种宏观前兆现象的产生.
