THE TECTONIC STRESS FIELD OF CHINESE CONTINENT DEDUCED FROM A GREAT NUMBER OF EARTHQUAKES

The directions of mean principal stress axes in parts of Xinjiang and Xizang area are deduced from the polarity readings of P-wave first motion of a number of small earthquakes. Based on the results previously obtained for North China, the eastern and southeastern part of Chinese continent, after correcting the results for a few subrcgions in these areas with supplementary data, and adding the new results of this study for the Xinjiang and Xizang area, a map of the tectonic stress directions for Chinese continent is compiled.The uncertainties in deducing the mean P and T axes from P-wavc first motion polarity data of multiple earthquakes are estimated by applying the probability model proposed by Bril-linger et al. (1980). The deviation of the P axes of individual focal mechanism solutions for large earthquakes from the mean P axes of the corresponding subregions is analysed, and thought to be possibly related to the frictional angles of the faults. Finally, this study sums up the main feartures of the tectonic stress field for the Chinese continent.
