Relationships between moment magnitude and fault parameters: theoretical and semi-empirical relationships

Fault parameters are important in earthquake hazard analysis. In this paper, theoretical relationships between moment magnitude and fault parameters including subsurface rupture length, downdip rupture width, rupture area, and average slip over the fault surface are deduced based on seismological theory. These theoretical relationships are further simplified by applying similarity conditions and an unique form is established. Then, combining thc simplified theoretical relationships between moment magnitude and fault parameters with seismic source data selected in this study, a practical semi-empirical relationship is established. The seismic source data selected is also to used to derive empirical relationships between moment magnitude and fault parameters by the ordinary least square regression method. Comparisons between semi-empirical relationships and empirical relationships show that the former depict distribution trends of data better than the latter. It is also observed that downdip rupture widths of strike slip faults are saturated when moment magnitude is more than 7.0, but downdip rupture widths of dip slip faults are not saturated in the moment magnitude ranges of this study.     

大别山地震波速度剖面的重力拟合及花岗岩带

笔者对穿越大别山造山带的六安—大冶宽角反射地震剖面进行了重力拟合。拟合结果表明严格按宽角反射地震速度换算成的密度剖面所产生的是一个重力高,它反映出大别山是一个穹隆,与实测大别山重力低大相径庭。只有将位于大别山山根上,南北大别之间设置一个从地表直达莫霍界面的巨大低密度体,重力曲线才能得到很好的拟合。这个低密度体应为近北西走向的花岗岩带。它与反射地震剖面上石镇透明反射地震带位置吻合,但宽度远较反射地震透明带为大。重力曲线的拟合进一步说明,在华北陆块与扬子陆块碰撞后的白垩纪时,大别山出现一个伸展期,在这个时期,大别山穹隆形成,并伴随有大规模花岗岩的侵入,超高压变质岩从地壳中下部折返到地表。研究说明,联合应用反射地震、宽角反射地震和重力,进行综合解释是必要的,可以得到更令人信服的地质结论。     

龙门山前陆褶皱冲断带构造解析与川西前陆盆地的发育

通过详细的野外地质调查和精细的地震剖面构造解析。揭示了龙门山前陆褶皱冲断带的基本构造特征。对比分析了龙门山北段与南段构造变形几何学和运动学的差异。提出龙门山北段主要表现为一系列复杂的逆冲推覆构造,晚三叠纪变形强于新生代;龙门山南段则以基底卷入的叠瓦状冲断为特点,晚白垩纪-早第三纪变形尤为突出。与前陆褶皱冲断带相对应的是,川西晚三叠纪时期的周缘前陆盆地主要表现在整个龙门山褶皱冲断带的前渊地区;而晚白垩纪-早第三纪再生前陆盆地却局限在川西盆地的南部,并且印-藏碰撞的持续挤压作用使得晚新生代构造变形不断向东扩展进入川西盆地南部。     

佛子冲火山岩区隐伏铜锌矿床的类型归属及成矿远景

佛子冲铅锌成矿带包括两种矿床类型,即佛子冲式夕卡岩型矿床和牛卫式热液充填（交代）型矿床,这两类矿床矿体产状,围岩蚀变,矿物组合,以及单矿物中微量元素分布特征等方面区别明显,但硫化矿物的硫,铅同位素组成相同,并且均表现出强烈的均一化的特点,反映出两者的成矿条件及成矿方式虽然不同,但具有相同的物源－燕山期钙碱性火山岩系,在佛子冲矿带南部火山岩覆盖区,铅锌矿化组合空间展布呈“三层楼”结构,并且构造控矿作用明显：矿点主要分布于佛子冲隐伏背斜的轴部（“龙脊”）,特别是在隐伏背斜被NE向断裂切割部位,火山岩铅锌矿化大多属于佛子冲式矿床类型,即佛子冲矿带内主要的矿床类型,具有较大的找矿前景。     

Permian radiolarians,chert and basalt from the Daxinshan Formation in Lancangjiang belt of southwestern Yunnan,China

The stratigraphical sequences composed of chert and basalt were found in the Daxinshan area of Simao and the Manbie area of Jinghong, southwestern Yunnan. The Middle Permian to ealiest Late Permian radiolarians, such as Follicucullus and Pseudoalbaillella, have been identified from the chert. The chert from the Manbie area of Jinghong is characterized by high SiO₂content (over 92%), large ratios of MnO/TiO₂ (2.15) and low ratios of Al/(Al+Fe+Mn) (≤0.1) and Ce/Ce*(0.4), which indicate that the chert was deposited in pelagic basin. The chert from the Daxinshan area of Simao, however, is characterized by low SiO₂ content, low ratios of MnO/TiO₂ (0.27) and high ratios of Al/(Al+Fe+Mn) (0.49) and Ce/Ce*(0.88), which imply that the chert was deposited in continental margin basin. The basalts from the both areas belong to tholeiite series, and the chemical compositions of their major, rare earth and trace elements show the characteristics of MORB. These results evidence that there are volcanic rocks and chert sequences representing pelagic basin and oceanic basin near continent. These sequences and the formerly reported island-arc volcanic rock sequences imply that the Daxinshan Formation in the Lancangjiang belt represents a sedimentary assemblage formed in active continental margin basin.     

六盘山弧形构造带铜多金属矿床的成矿环境

六盘山弧形构造带位于青藏高原东北缘,自震旦-寒武纪以来,经历了“威尔逊旋回“构造演化。在陆内裂谷和板块俯冲阶段,成矿类型主要为海底火山块状硫化物型和与韧性剪切作用有关的构造蚀变岩型,而在碰撞造山和陆内造山阶段,成矿类型演变为与大型推覆体构造有关的似层状热液型,显示出不同构造演化阶段所反映的成矿环境不同。     

Monitoring of fault healing after the 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey, earthquake

The North Anatolian fault zone that ruptured during the mainshock of theM 7.4 Kocaeli (Izmit) earthquake of 17 August 1999 has beenmonitored using S wave splitting, in order to test a hypothesisproposed by Tadokoro et al. (1999). This idea is based on the observationof the M 7.2 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake, Japan.After the Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake, a temporal change was detectedin the direction of faster shear wave polarization in 2–3 years after the mainshock (Tadokoro, 1999). Four seismic stations were installed within andnear the fault zone at Kizanlik where the fault offset was 1.5 m, about80 km to the east of the epicenter of the Kocaeli earthquake. Theobservation period was from August 30 to October 27, 1999. Preliminaryresult shows that the average directions of faster shear wave polarization attwo stations were roughly parallel to the fault strike. We expect that thedirection of faster shear wave polarization will change to the same directionas the regional tectonic stress reflecting fault healing process. We havealready carried out a repeated aftershock observation at the same site in2000 for monitoring the fault healing process.
