维西—乔后断裂带上连续地震的应力降和两种不同的孕震机制

2021年5月21日云南省维西—乔后断裂带上发生M_S6.4漾濞地震,造成了大量的人员伤亡和财产损失.该断裂带上还曾先后发生过2013年M_W5.3和2017年M_W4.91两次洱源地震.本文反演了维西—乔后断裂中南段2013年、2017年与2021年三次地震震群的震源机制解,使用谱比法计算了主震和较大的前震、余震共17个事件的拐角频率与应力降.结果表明：2013年M_W5.3主震与M_W4.96余震均为正断层事件,随后的地震序列皆为右旋走滑事件,2017年M_W4.91主震与M_W4.89前震均为右旋走滑事件.发生在东南侧15 km左右的2021年漾濞M_W6.2主震也为右旋走滑事件,但前震和余震震群中包括约70%的走滑事件和30%的正断层事件,推测发震断层为维西—乔后断裂带的次级断裂;2013年M_W5.3主震的拐角频率为0.68±0.03 Hz,应力降为11.98-1.52/+1.66 MPa,2017年M_W4.91主震的拐角频率为1.59±0.05 Hz,应力降为39.84-3.64/+3.88 MPa,2021年M_W6.2主震的拐角频率为0.415±0.01 Hz,应力降为65.35-4.61/+4.84 MPa;17个地震应力降反映出走滑事件的自相似性,而正断层事件同震断层面上可能的流体扩散引起了自相似性破缺.两种地震事件在拐角频率与应力降方面存在明显差异,可能源于断层受构造形变、结构和岩性的差异的影响,在横向与纵向上的摩擦系数、破裂尺度、裂隙流体等特性存在较大差异,因而可能存在两种不同的孕震机制.从潜在的地震风险来说,走滑的孕震过程可能触发更大的破裂,具有更大的潜在破坏性.

     

Moment-tensor statistics of the 1997 Long Valley microearthquake swarm

Abstract. A simple, fast, moment-tensor inversion method using bandpass-filtered P-amplitudes was used to study the moment-tensor statistics of Long Valley caldera microearthquakes. The events were recorded in the summer of 1997, during a swarm in the caldera. The swarm was associated with geodetic extension, uplift, and subsequent moderate earthquake activity. The moment tensor solutions for 1,993 events were calculated using the new method. The majority of the resulting focal mechanisms appear to be explained in terms of double couple mechanisms. Since some events did exhibit considerable deviation from double-couples, the moment data were studied for their statistical significance. The moments of the actual data were compared to the moments of synthetic data with varying degrees of random noise in their spectra. The results of this study suggested that unless data from more than 20 stations are used and the earthquake epicenter is located inside or very close to the network area, moment-tensor inversion does not correctly resolve the non-double-couple components of microearthquakes. Analysis of the inversion residuals shows that the average noise in the P-wave spectra was close to 20%. The fluctuations of the volumetric components of the moment-tensor are in good agreement with those of the synthetic pure double-couples with 20% of added noise. Thus the moment-tensor statistics suggests that little if any volume change is required to explain the observed seismic energy release in the swarm. However, the statistics do show that a significant compensated-linear-vector-dipole component maybe present in the bulk of the seismicity. Given the network used in this study, such a component could not be precisely resolved for individual earthquakes. This possibility deserves further investigation because of its bearing on the nature of fluid-fault-earthquake processes in swarms.     

Focal Fault of the 1999 Datong Ms5.6 Earthquake in Shanxi Province

Several earthquakes with Ms≥5.0 occurred in the Datong seismic region in 1989,1991 and 1999,The precise focus location of the earthquake sequence was made by the records of the remote sensing seismic station network in Datong.Using that data together with macro-intensity distribution and focal mechanism solutions,we analyze the difference among three subsequences.The results show that the focal fault of the 1999 Ms 5.6 earthquake was a NWW-trending left-lateral strike-slip fault.It is 16km long and 12km wide.It developed at the depth of 5km and is nearly vertical in dip.The two previous earthquake subsequences,however,were generated by activity along NNE-trending right-lateral strike-slip fault.It can be found that the rupture directioin of the 1999 earthquake has changed.It is generally found that a rupture zone has more than two directions and has different strength along these two directions.The complicate degree of focal circumstance is related to the type of earthquake sequences.There is the NE-trending Dawangcun fault and the NW-trending Tuanbu fault in the seismic region,but no proof indicates a connection between focal faults and these two tectonic faults.The feature that focal faults of three subsequences are strike-slip is different from that of the two tectonic faults.It is suggested that the 1999 earthquake subsequence was possibly generated by a new rupture.

A combined study of macroseismic data and focal mechanisms applied to the West-Bohemian earthquake,Czechoslovakia

The main shock of the West-Bohemian earthquake swarm, Czechoslovakia, (magnitudem=4.5, depthh=10 km) exhibits an irregular areal distribution of macroseismic intensities 6° to 7° MSK-64. Four lobes of the 6° isoseismal are found and the maximum observed intensity is located at a distance of 8 km from the instrumentally determined epicentre. This distribution can be explained by the energy flux of the directS wave generated by a circular source, the hypocentral location and focal mechanism of which are taken from independent instrumental studies. The theoretical intensity, which is assumed to be logarithmically proportional to the integrated squared ground-motion velocity (i.e.,I=const+log v ² (t)dt), fits the observed intensity with an overall root-mean-square error less than 0.5°. It is important that the present intensity data can also be equally well explained by the isotropic source. The fit was attained by means of a horizontally layered model though large fault zones and an extended sedimentary basin suggest a significant lateral heterogeneity of the epicentral region. The results encourage a broader application of the simple modelling technique used.
