| Abstract: | The mainshock and aftershocks of the Hutubi M_S6.2 earthquake on December 8,2016 were relocated by applying the double difference method, and we relocated 477 earthquakes in the Hutubi region. The earthquake relocation results show that the aftershocks are distributed in the east-west direction towards the north side of the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault,and are mainly distributed in the western region of the mainshock. The distance between the mainshock after relocation and the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is obviously shortened. Combined with the focal mechanism and the spatial distribution of the mainshock and aftershocks,it is inferred that the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is the main seismogenic structure of the Hutubi earthquake. |
