2011年盈江Ms≥4.0地震序列震源机制解与发震构造研究

基于云南数字地震台网和腾冲火山台网宽频带波形记录,采用CAP方法反演了2011年盈江Ms5.8地震序列主震及Ms≥4.0前震、余震的震源机制解.结果显示:主震震源深度为9 km,与该事件的定位结果相一致;震源机制解的节面之一走向248.,倾角77.,滑动角19..结合余震、烈度分布以及震区的活动构造,判定该节面代表了主震的发震断层面,相应的发震断层应是震区附近的北东向大盈江断裂.主震主压力轴方位为20.,除Ms4.7余震为正断型地震外,其他7次地震都为纯走滑型地震,都具有NNE-SSW向近水平的P轴,与该区历史地震震源机制主压应力优势方向一致.综合应力场及构造分析表明,盈江Ms5.8地震的发震动力学环境是:受印度板块向欧亚板块北东向挤压和缅甸弧对保山—腾冲地块北东向俯冲的双重作用,保山—腾冲地块呈现北东向水平运动,导致的大盈江断裂带左旋走滑错动的结果.     

2011年云南盈江5.8级地震及震前短临跟踪预测

系统收集了2011年云南盈江5.8级地震前后的地震学基础资料,对盈江地震的地震地质背景、地震序列基本特征、地震烈度、发震断裂和区域应力场进行了详细分析.在此次盈江地震发生前,运用地震力标度、环境剪应力、地震序列h值、破裂时间法、能量释放方法,对该地震做了短临跟踪和预测.结果显示,盈江5.8级地震的发震断裂很可能是NE向的大盈江左旋走滑断裂,盈江地震前出现了诸多地学参数异常,这些异常对未来强震发生的时间和地点均有短临指示意义.     

2011 年云南盈江MS 5. 8 地震序列重定位

利用云南数字地震台网和腾冲火山台网记录的2011 年1 ～ 12 月震相数据,采用Hypo2000、HypoDD 定位方法对2011 年盈江MS5. 8 地震序列的前震、余震进行了重新定位。定位结果显示地震分布较定位前更为集中。前震活动主要沿大盈江断裂呈NE 走向分布。余震呈共轭分布:一支沿大盈江断裂呈NE 向分布,另一支沿垂直于大盈江断裂的隐伏错断呈SSE向分布。余震分布存在着稀疏段落,可能对应着前震主要破裂区域。     

盈江中强地震序列震源机制及区域地壳流变特征和断层性质研究

2008年云南西部盈江地区连续发生了4次中强地震,本文运用全波形模拟的方法研究了这4次中强地震序列的震源机制解.并对4次地震序列进行了重定位.我们结合由震源机制解得到的主应力轴倾角变化情况,震源深度和重定位深度对盈江地区地壳流变特征进行了分析.分析认为盈江地区下地壳内的岩石并不是完全塑性的,而是具有一定的强度从而可以发生脆性破裂.同时,我们还根据震源机制解对这4次中强地震序列的发震断裂,北东走向的大盈江断裂和南北走向的苏典断裂的断层性质进行了初步分析.分析结果认为大盈江断裂是一主要切割上地壳的左旋走滑断裂.南北走向的苏典断裂是一右旋断裂,其北端切割地壳深度较南端浅.苏典断裂的南端切割地壳深度达到下地壳,且上地壳部分的断裂断层面较陡直,而下地壳中的断裂的断层面比较平缓.盈江位于云南西部的中缅交界地区,目前对这一区域活动断裂的研究较少.本文给出的盈江地区两条活动断裂的初步研究结果,将给关于青藏高原的研究提供来自于喜马拉雅东触角附近断层的信息.     

澜沧、耿马地震序列图象与发震构造讨论

本文分析了1988年11月6日云南澜沧、耿马地震序列的震中分布及迁移图象,发现其地震序列中主震及余震明显地沿北北西向分布。7.2级地震所形成的形变带沿北北西向旱母坝断层分布,表明该断层即为此次地震的发震构造。7.6级地震时,沿北西向木嘎断裂和北北西向澜沧—勐海断裂均形成明显的地震形变带,表明其发震构造较复杂。主震后的强余震活动与北东向断裂有密切关系。本文认为澜沧、耿马地震序列具有复杂的发震构造和破裂图象。

2015年内蒙古阿拉善左旗5.8级地震前震兆异常回顾

通过对2015年4月15日内蒙古阿拉善左旗5.8级地震序列和地震构造作了初步分析,该地震序列为主余型,发震构造为蹬口—本井断裂.主震前在鄂尔多斯西缘中小地震活动明显增强,但在震中附近地震活动不突出,存在银川地震窗、地震空区、空间参数扫描A值等测震学年度异常;震前出现突出的短临前兆异常有阿拉善左旗倾斜NS向、银川石英摆倾斜EW向、石嘴山视电阻率EW向等.其异常分析可为今后宁夏及邻区中强以上地震的震例总结和预测提供参考依据.

基于多地震序列震源机制解的盈江区域构造应力场研究

文章搜集了盈江地区多个地震序列震源机制解共计162个,对从苏典断裂到大盈江断裂的区域进行了构造应力场反演。研究结果表明,该区域总的主压应力轴方向为NNE—SSW向。并从内在动力学演化的角度分析了2008年3月21日—2014年5月30日发生的6次震群活动,发现其存在明显的相互联系性。研究还发现,局部也出现应力场偏转的现象,苏典断裂南端的主压应力轴向北偏转角度变大,这可能与该区形成的三角凹陷有关。此外,本文还搜集到2016—2020年之间发生于盈江地区的1 003个地震目录,通过分析发现昔马—盘龙山断裂到大盈江断裂之间的区域可能存在应力场闭锁,因此,加强该区域的危险性防范至关重要。

岷山断块位于中国南北强震构造带的中段, 区域地质构造复杂, 活动断裂众多, 强震频发。 4条不同走向的活动断裂NE向龙门山构造带的茂汶断裂、 NWW向东昆仑断裂带的塔藏断裂、 近NS向的岷江断裂和NNW—NS向的虎牙断裂构成岷山断块的南北西东边界。 638—2017年该区域共发生了10次6级以上破坏性地震, 2017年九寨沟7.0级地震就是其中之一。 结合区域构造背景, 对岷山断块所发生的6级以上地震的发震构造特征、 地震活动特性进行归纳总结, 综合分析该区域地震地质特征及地震危险性, 得出以下认识: ① 地震分布空间分区特征显著, 破坏性强震发震构造多为活动性较强的岷山断块东西边界断裂, 震中位置多位于两组或多组活动断裂构造的交会或穿切部位; ② 地震分布时间特征表现为随着时间发展具有迁移回返和原地复发性等特点; ③ 岷山断块东西边界断裂破坏性地震的发生具有一定的时间关联性, 东边界虎牙断裂1973—2017年的地震序列为西边界岷江断裂1933—1960年地震序列约40年后的地震构造响应; ④ 未来岷山断块仍应是继续关注的强震潜在危险区, 岷江断裂中北段的强震潜在危险区是近期值得深入研究的地区之一。     

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.

Solute concentrations in the lower niger river and the source rock contribution

Water quality analyses for the Niger River for the 1980/81 hydrological year are presented. The samples were collected from the main river at Lokoja, and from two main tributaries, the Kaduna and the Benue Rivers. Different water types were distinguished by the concentrations of major ions. The type Ca > Na > Mg > K - HCO₃ > SO₄ > Cl was represented at all stations during at least part of the year. Chloride was found to dominate the sulphate ion in the Kaduna and Niger, while the Benue maintained a higher concentration of sulphate relative to chloride all year round. Distinct patterns of seasonal variation in the ion concentrations were observed, particularly for the samples collected at Lokoja. Low ion concentrations were prominent during periods of high discharge, while low flow periods coincided with high dissolved ion concentrations. The contribution of rainwater to the total dissolved solids in the river waters was assessed indirectly using rainwater chemistry data from the Gulf of Guinea. The estimated rainwater contribution to the Lower Niger amounts to 5.15 mg 1^?1. Geochemical weathering calculations involving reactions of the four major minerals of granitic rocks - anorthite, biotite, albite, and K-feldspar - with carbon dioxide and water, can account for the average water composition of the Lower Niger. The proportion of the ionic components was also related to the occurrence of the respective element in the minerals.     

Scenario predictions for potential near-field and far-field earthquakes affecting Hong Kong

Historical earthquakes noted in the written records of the South China region, including Hong Kong, are not well delineated along identified prominent fault sources. Despite the lack of any definitive, localised trend in the spatial distribution of seismic activity in the region, there does appear to be some major disparity in the seismic activity rates (especially for large magnitude earthquakes) between the near-field and the far-field regions of Hong Kong. Despite this observation, previous studies of the regional seismic activity and seismic ground motion hazard (the latter using a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, PSHA) have considered very broad source zone regions, in which uniform levels of seismic activity have been assumed. The present paper further scrutinises this broad source zone (BSZ) approach by adopting a novel expanding circular disc (ECD) method to determine the rates of earthquake recurrence. Such a method is intended to counter-check previously developed models by determining earthquake scenario events in terms of magnitude–distance (M–R) pairs or combinations, having defined values of average return period. Unlike the BSZ approach, the ECD method specifically accounts for the supposed variations in the seismic activity rates between events in the near-field and the far-field of Hong Kong.The form of the developed method is particularly suited to the determination of design-level earthquake ground motions for bedrock sites, since it assumes a directionally-independent attenuation model as described in the companion paper. It is found that, whilst the BSZ approach may indicate the overall average levels of hazard that are representative of the South China region as a whole, it does not capture the large disparity in seismic activity rates between near-field and far-field events. This important feature is expected to have a significant impact upon engineering assessments of the seismic safety of structures in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the South China region. For example, it is found that for events with M≥6, the seismic activity rate (normalised by time and area) in the very far-field is around 3.5 times larger than in the near-field and medium-field of Hong Kong. The resulting design M-R combinations, covering a range of return periods from 70 to 2500 years, are limited, for very long return periods and for distant events, by the maximum credible earthquake (MCE) magnitude. Intensive research to determine this seismic hazard parameter is recommended, in order to refine further the results of the ECD analysis, which presently conservatively assumes the MCE to range between M=6 in the near-field of Hong Kong to M=8 in the very far-field, at distances greater than 280 km from Hong Kong.     

Depositional ages and characteristics of Middle–Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous lacustrine deposits in southeastern Mongolia

Lower Cretaceous lacustrine oil shales are widely distributed in southeastern Mongolia. Due to the high organic carbon content of oil shale, many geochemical studies and petroleum exploration have been conducted. Although most of the oil shales are considered to be Early Cretaceous in age, a recent study reveals that some were deposited in the Middle Jurassic. The present study aims at establishing depositional ages and characteristics of the Jurassic and Cretaceous lacustrine deposits in Mongolia. The Lower Cretaceous Shinekhudag Formation is about 250 m thick and composed of alternating beds of shale and dolomite. The Middle Jurassic Eedemt Formation is about 150 m thick and composed of alternating beds of shale, dolomitic marl, and siltstone. The alternations of shale and dolomite in both formations were formed by lake level changes, reflecting precipitation changes. Shales were deposited in the center of a deep lake during highstand, while dolomites were formed by primary precipitation during lowstand. Based on the radiometric age dating, the Shinekhudag Formation was deposited between 123.8 ±2.0 Ma and 118.5 ±0.9 Ma of the early Aptian. The Eedemt Formation was deposited at around 165–158 Ma of Callovian–Oxfordian. The calculated sedimentation rate of the Shinekhudag Formation is between 4.7 ±2.6 cm/ky and 10.0 ±7.6 cm/ky. Shales in the Shinekhudag Formation show micrometer‐scale lamination, consisting of algal organic matter and detrital clay mineral couplets. Given the average thickness of micro‐laminae and calculated sedimentation rate, the micro‐lamination is most likely of varve origin. Both Middle–Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous lacustrine oil shales were deposited in intracontinental basins in the paleo‐Asian continent. Tectonic processes and basin evolution basically controlled the deposition of these oil shales. In addition, enhanced precipitation under humid climate during the early Aptian and the Callovian–Oxfordian was another key factor inducing the widespread oil shale deposition in Mongolia.     

THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE SOLUTION OF THE INFILTRATION PROBLEM

ABSTRACT

The one-dimensional transient downward entry of water in unsaturated soils is investigated theoretically. The mathematical equation describing the infiltration process is derived by combining Darcy's dynamic equation of motion with the continuity and thermodynamic state equations adjusted for the unsaturated flow conditions. The resulting equation together with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions constitues a mathematical initial boundary value problem requiring the solution of a nonlinear partial differential equation of the parabolic type. The volumetric water content is taken as the dependent variable and the time and the position along the vertical direction are taken as the independent variables. The governing equation is of such nature that a solution exists for t > 0 and is uniquely determined if two relationships are defined, together with the specified state of the system, at the initial time t = 0 and at the two boundaries. The two required relations are those of pressure versus permeability and pressure versus volumetric water content.

Since the partial differential equation has strong non-linear terms, a discrete solution is obtained by approximating the derivatives with finite-differences at discrete mesh points in the solution domain and integrated for the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The use of an implicit difference scheme is employed in order to generate a system of simultaneous non-linear equations that has to be solved for each time increment. For n mesh points the two boundary conditions provide two equations and the repetition of the recurrence formula provides n—2 equations, the total being n equations for each time increment. The solution of the system is obtained by matrix inversion and particularly with a back-substitution technique. The FORTRAN statements used for obtaining the solution with an electronic digital computer (IBM 704) are presented together with the input data.

Analysis of the errors involved in the numerical solution is made and the stability and convergence of the solution of the approximate difference equation to that of the differential equation is investigated. The method applied is that of making a Fourier series expansion of a whole line of errors and then following the progress of the general term of the series expansion and also the behavior of each constituent harmonic. The errors (forming a continuous function of points in an abstract Banach space) are represented by vectors with the Fourier coefficients constituting a second Banach space. The amplification factor of the difference equation is shown to be always less than unity which guarantees the stability of the employed implicit recurrence scheme.

Experiments conducted on a vertical column packed uniformly with very fine sand, show a satisfactory agreement between the theoretically and experimentally obtained values. Many experimental results are shown in an attempt to explain the infiltration phenomenon with emphasis on the shape and movement of the wet front, and the effects of the degree of compaction, initial water content and deaired water on the infiltration rate.     

Late Permian post‐ophiolitic trondhjemites from Central Iran: a mark of subduction role in growth of Paleozoic continental crust

Late Permian trondhjemites in the Anarak area occur as stocks and dykes, which cross cut the Anarak ophiolite and its overlying metasedimentary rocks, and are exposed along the northern Anarak east–west main faults. These leucocratic intrusive bodies have enclaves of all ophiolitic units and metamorphic rocks. They are composed of amphibole, plagioclase (oligoclase), quartz, zircon and muscovite. Secondary minerals are chlorite (pycnochlorite), epidote, albite, magnetite and calcite. Whole‐rock major‐ and trace‐element analyses reveal that they are characterized by high SiO ₂ (67.8–71.0 wt%), Al ₂ O ₃ (14.9–17.1 wt%) and Na ₂ O (5.3–8.6 wt%), low K ₂ O (0.1–1.5 wt%; average: 0.8 wt%), low Rb/Sr ratio (0.01–0.40; average: 0.09), low Y (3–6 ppm), negative Ti, Nb and Ta anomalies, slightly negative or positive Eu anomaly, LREE enrichment and fractionated HREE. These rocks present 2 to 40 times enrichment in inclined chondrite‐normalized REE patterns. Geochemical characteristics of the Anarak trondhjemites all reflect melting of a mafic protolith at more than 10 kbar. The field evidence and whole‐rock chemistry reveal that these rocks have been crystallized from magmas derived from melting of subducted Anarak oceanic crust. This study reveals that melting of garnet amphibolite was an important element of continent formation in the study area.
