青藏高原东缘龙门山前陆逆冲带复合结构与生长

位于青藏高原东缘的北东向龙门山逆冲带,研究已经证明是中生代与新生代前陆复合扩展和生长的结果。然而,2008年5·12汶川地震地表破裂、余震和滑坡等的单向和分段迁移现象,对龙门山复合逆冲带的结构认识提出了挑战。文章在已有研究成果基础上,针对龙门山复合生长下构建的特殊结构进行了野外调查和构造解析。结果表明,以中生代与新生代两期前陆逆冲带复合生长为基础,龙门山复合逆冲带具有特殊的、主要由前陆逆冲楔叠加后形成的复合结构,而且这种复合逆冲楔具有分级和时序特征;中生代前陆逆冲楔是以逆冲断层-褶皱为特征,并分别组合形成碧口厚皮逆冲推覆体、唐王寨薄皮逆冲推覆体和龙王庙逆冲推覆体,总体从晚三叠世以前开始,至~160 Ma向南递进扩展生长;新生代前陆逆冲楔由逆冲断层和逆冲岩片组成,分为约35~10 Ma和10 Ma以来两个阶段,向南东向递进扩展生长,并可能与川西盆地东侧龙泉山构造相连通。因此,龙门山逆冲带具有前陆逆冲带和生长过程的双重复合结构。      

天井山古隆起的“前世今生”:论古隆起的构造复原

古隆起是地质历史时期地表的正向构造单元,是该时期地球内、外动力综合作用的结果;复原其构造-沉积面貌,将为探索地球演化历史及资源、能源矿产的赋存规律奠定重要基础。文中以龙门山北段的天井山古隆起为例,分析古隆起的地质结构及其演化、改造特征,探讨古隆起复原的思路、方法及意义。天井山古隆起早在20世纪80年代便被人们发现并提出,由于其所处地理位置特殊,天井山古隆起的地质结构及其在地质历史时期的形成与演化过程一直存在争议。基于天井山地区的地层与构造分布,文中建立其浅表地质结构模型,应用构造复原方法重建其形成与演化过程,恢复出天井山古隆起在不同地质历史时期的空间展布特征。研究认为,天井山古隆起发育震旦系、寒武系—志留系、泥盆系—石炭系、二叠系—三叠系和侏罗系—第四系等5套构造地层层序,沿构造走向划分为北、中、南3段。天井山古隆起北段总体表现为两背斜夹一向斜构造,中段表现为一紧闭的背斜构造,南段表现为一逐渐倾伏的背斜构造;天井山古隆起经历了寒武纪—志留纪幕式隆升、泥盆纪—石炭纪持续隆升、二叠纪—三叠纪整体埋藏与侏罗纪—现今为破坏改造等4个演化阶段;天井山古隆起在形成演化过程中,古隆起核部呈现出向南东迁移的特征。天井山古隆起为改造残余古隆起,反映了龙门山北段的多幕伸展-挤压构造事件的作用。     

近地表倾角和无地表破裂前期逆冲地震对汶川MS8.0地震逆冲滑动量随深度分布形态的影响

逆冲滑动是汶川地震的初始和主要震源过程,其破裂滑动量随断层深度的分布形态与多数板内逆冲强震不一致.本文用摩压比值来表征断层沿线的局部破裂危险程度,通过数值实验讨论了底部破裂源、近地表倾角和无地表破裂的前期地震等对铲形逆冲断层的破裂危险分布和破裂滑动分布的影响.有限元数值模拟结果显示,在巴颜喀拉块体对龙门山断裂带的高强度挤压下,上陡下缓近地表陡倾角的铲形断层形态使得汶川发震断层近地表对逆冲破裂和滑动有一定的阻碍作用;破裂滑动量集中于发震断层中部的前期逆冲地震是造成汶川M_S8.0地震逆冲滑动分布异于板内逆冲强震滑动分布现象的一个可行解释.     

近年来龙门山断裂GPS剖面变形与应变积累分析

利用1999~2012年4期GPS速度场数据,对龙门山断裂天全—映秀段及安县—广元段的GPS剖面变形与应变积累作了探讨。在剖面应变积累对地震触发成因及程度方面,将芦山MS7.0与汶川MS8.0地震进行了对比分析。结果表明:(1)芦山地震之前,该地区压性速率远高于1999~2007年,它是汶川大震后的应力调整过程;(2)汶川MS8.0、芦山MS7.0两次强震间隔如此之短,不排除是汶川地震之后龙门山断裂西南段应力场高值压应力的调整过程对此次芦山地震起到触发作用的可能性。     

汶川8.0级地震前龙门山断裂带孕震构造运动特征分析?

On the basis of elastic rebound theory, using the horizontal velocity field of the Chinese mainland calculated from GPS data during three observation periods from 1999 to 2007, the velocity components that are parallel and plumb to the fault zone are calculated respectively for different periods, and then relative ground movements of two sides of the fault zone are analyzed with power function fitting and graphics. The results show that the relative ground movement shows right-lateral shear deformation before the Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake, and at the same time the movement was hindered by the Longmenshan fault zone. Thus, this result has positive significance for distinguishing the elastic strain energy accumulation and deformation anomaly in an earthquake preparation process, and for conducting further research on earthquake prediction.     

芦山MS 7. 0 地震前近震源区地形变熵特征研究

2013 年4 月20 日芦山MS7.0地震是继2008年汶川MS8.0地震后发生在龙门山断裂带的又一强震,与汶川地震相似,该震临震前在近震源区未观测到显著的异常变化。为研究其临震前形变特征,本文根据信息熵理论对芦山MS7.0地震前近震源区的连续形变观测资料进行了年变熵率值分析,并研究其时序上的分布特征。结果表明,震前近震源区台站地倾斜形变熵均表现出减熵现象,时序的年尺度熵结果表明,汶川MS8.0地震对芦山MS7.0地震具有一定的触发作用,且震中区的EW 向和NS 向分量具有高度一致的熵变趋势。     

汶川Ms8.0级地震后龙门山构造地貌及地表侵蚀过程研究——以湔江海子段河为例

汶川Ms8.0级地震驱动的构造抬升作用和滑坡、泥石流剥蚀作用如何影响龙门山的地貌生长是目前争论的焦点。本文运用GIS技术,定量计算了湔江流域的坡度、地形起伏度、面积—高程积分等地貌参数,根据这些参数的计算结果,对湔江流域的构造地貌特征进行了量化分析;以汶川Ms8.0级地震重灾区湔江海子河右岸流域的滑坡、泥石流为例,并且利用野外实测资料、卫星照片及数字高程资料等,对于汶川地震驱动的构造抬升与滑坡、泥石流的表面侵蚀过程进行研究,获得以下初步认识:(1)湔江流域的映秀—北川断层以北地区地貌处于"壮年期",坡度、地形起伏度大;(2)汶川Ms8.0级地震后该地区发生了严重的同震滑坡及震后滑坡、泥石流灾害,海子河右岸流域的同震抬升量为5 339×104m3,同震滑坡量为3 852×104m3,同震抬升量大于同震滑坡量,地貌出现生长现象;(3)地震产生的泥石流量应略大于1 000×104m3,同震滑坡物质的30%转化为了泥石流量,因其海子沟右岸陡峻的坡度,绝大部分的泥石流冲入海子河,成为河道沉积物;(4)以目前湔江海子河流水搬运能力,在能够完全搬运出同震滑坡物质的前提下,同震滑坡物质搬运出龙门山至少需要283.2 a,表明在一个地震周期内,龙门山的同震滑坡物质可以搬运出龙门山;(5)准周期性相当震级地震引起的构造抬升及其均衡反弹作用也是龙门山的形成有重要作用的因素之一。     

A rupture blank zone in middle south part of Longmenshan Faults: Effect after Lushan M s7.0 earthquake of 20 April 2013 in Sichuan,China

On April 20, 2013, the Lushan Ms7.0 earthquake struck at the southern part of the Longmenshan fault in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, China. The shear-wave splitting in the crust indicates a connection between the direction of the principal crustal compressive stress and the fault orientation in the Longmenshan fault zone. Our relocation analysis of the aftershocks of the Lushan earthquake shows a gap between the location of the rupture zone of the Lushan Ms7.0 earthquake and that of the rupture zone of the Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake. We believe that stress levels in the crust at the rupture gap and its vicinity should be monitored in the immediate future. We suggest using controlled source borehole measurements for this purpose.     

龙门山断裂带地壳密度结构

研究龙门山及邻区地壳密度结构对于认识该地区地震活动性具有重要意义.根据龙门山及邻区( 100°～105°E,28°～33°N)的布格重力异常资料,选取了跨越龙门山断裂带的6条重力测线,在深地震测深资料约束下,使用Geosoft软件分别反演出了龙门山地区地下的沉积层、康拉德界面和莫霍面的深度分布.研究结果表明:龙门山断裂带两侧的地壳结构明显不同,西面高原地区沉积层较薄,大部分为基岩出露;而东边盆地沉积层明显较厚,多在6km以上.莫霍面和康拉德面在两侧均相对平缓,康拉德面从东部的大约24km增加到青藏高原山区的35km左右;莫霍面深度从东部盆地的大约42km增加到西部青藏高原的67km左右.龙门山断裂带整体表现为一条近SN向的陡变重力梯度带,并在其地壳内各界面均发生错断,莫霍面和康拉德面错断距离分别达6 ～ 7km和3～ 5km.该区地壳的这种陡变和不均匀性是导致地震活动性强烈的主要原因之一.     

Numerical simulation on the influences of Wenchuan earthquake on the surrounding faults

On 12 May 2008, the devastating Wenchuan earthquake struck the Longmenshan fault zone, which comprised the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, and this fault zone was predominantly a convergent boundary with a right-lateral strike-slip component. After such a large-magnitude earthquake, it was crucial to analyze the influences of the earthquake on the surrounding faults and the potential seismic activity. In this paper, a complex viscoelastic model of western Sichuan and eastern Tibet regions was constructed including the topography. Based on the findings of co-seismic static slip distribution, we calculated the stress change caused by the Wenchuan earthquake with the post-seismic relaxation into consideration. Our preliminary results indicated that: (1) The tectonic stressing rate was relatively high in Kunlun mountain pass-Jiangcuo, Ganzi-Yushu, Xianshuihe and Zemuhe faults; while in the east Kunlun and Longriba was medium; also the value was less in the Minjiang, Longmenshan, Anninghe and Huya faults. As to the Longmenshan fault, the value was 0.28×10^-3 MPa/a to 0.35×10^-3 MPa/a, which is coincident with the previous long recurrence interval of Wenchuan earthquake; (2) The Wenchuan earthquake not only caused the Coulomb stress decrease in the source region, but also the stress increase in the two terminals, especially the northeastern segment, which is comparatively consistent with the aftershock distribution. Meanwhile, the high concentration areas of the static slip distribution were corresponding to the Coulomb stress reductions; (3) The Coulomb stress change caused by Wenchuan earthquake showed significant increase on five major faults, which were northwestern segment of Xianshuihe fault, eastern Kunlun fault, Longriba fault, Minjiang fault and Huya fault respectively; also the Coulomb stress on the fault plane of the Yushu earthquake was faintly increased; (4) We defined the recurrence interval as the time needed to accumulate the magnitude of the stress drop, and the recurrence interval of Wenchuan earthquake was estimated about 1 714 a to 2 143 a correspondingly.
