Introduction Earthquake is closely tied up with gravity on the basis of crustal deformation and crustaldensity change. With the accumulation of stress around the epicenter, the spatial position ofground point and density crustal medium will change with strain during the seismogenic processof an earthquake. All these factors will bring about the change of gravity field. Since the Xingtaiearthquake in China in 1966, mobile gravity measurements in a large scale and the studies ongravity var…  相似文献

By systematically analyzing the data of gravity reiteration in the Hexi region and taking a dynamic viewpoint.we have studied the evolution characters of gravity field during the preparation-occurrence of the Jingtai Ms5.9 earthquake of June 6,2000,The patterns of dynamic change of the gravity field clearly reflected how the gravity field evolved from the quasi-homogeneous state to non-homogeneous state for earthquake preparation and then the earthquake occurred.Besides,we have also studied the relation between the characteristic gravity change and strong earthquake activity.  相似文献

The Qiangtang basin is one of the large-scale basins in China, which is located in the high-altitude and cold area. In 1994 the preliminary gravity, magnetic and electric prospecting work was undertaken in this area. Over three years the gravity, magnetic and electric reconnaissance work had been completed. The integrated interpretation of complex gravity, magnetic and electric data had identified the boundary of the basin. The relationship between the basin and mountains is a south-north ramp structure. The basin structure consisted of one uplift and two sags, five depressions and two arches. The complex evaluation showed that the regions of Baitanhu and Youyiquan in the Qiangtang basin were considered to be the most perspective ones in sense of oil-gas bearing.  相似文献

The Effects of the Earth’s Curvature on Gravity and Geoid Calculations   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
While it is obvious that large-scale gravity studies should account for the sphericity of the Earth, each case should be examined. If a geometry model is very large for the 3D-gravity calculation, it cannot be correctly defined in Cartesian coordinates. Because of the Earth’s curvature it is necessary to use spherical coordinates, the importance of which is shown in this paper. The calculation of the gravity for a cylinder reveals, 1 m above the center of the cylinder, a relative difference of 13% between the models with Cartesian and spherical coordinates.  相似文献

The development of studies on estimating the accuracy of the Earth’s modern global gravity models in terms of the spherical harmonics of the geopotential in the problematic regions of the world is discussed. The comparative analysis of the results of reconstructing quasi-geoid heights and gravity anomalies from the different models is carried out for two polar regions selected within a radius of 1000 km from the North and South poles. The analysis covers nine recently developed models, including six high-resolution models and three lower order models, including the Russian GAOP2012 model. It is shown that the modern models determine the quasi-geoid heights and gravity anomalies in the polar regions with errors of 5 to 10 to a few dozen cm and from 3 to 5 to a few dozen mGal, respectively, depending on the resolution. The accuracy of the models in the Arctic is several times higher than in the Antarctic. This is associated with the peculiarities of gravity anomalies in every particular region and with the fact that the polar part of the Antarctic has been comparatively less explored by the gravity methods than the polar Arctic.  相似文献

The Earth masses reside in a near-hydrostatic equilibrium, while the deviations are, for example, manifested in the geoid, which is nowadays well determined by satellite gravimetry. Recent progress in estimating the density distribution of the Earth allows us to examine individual Earth layers and to directly see how the sum approaches the observed anomalous gravitational field. This study evaluates contributions from the crust and the upper mantle taken from the LITHO1.0 model and quantifies the gravitational spectra of the density structure to the depth of 435 km. This is done without isostatic adjustments to see what can be revealed with models like LITHO1.0 alone. At the resolution of 290 km (spherical harmonic degree 70), the crustal contribution starts to dominate over the upper mantle and at about 150 km (degree 130) the upper mantle contribution is nearly negligible. At the spatial resolution \(<150\,\hbox {km},\) the spectra behavior is driven by the crust, the mantle lid and the asthenosphere. The LITHO1.0 model was furthermore referenced by adding deeper Earth layers from ak135, and the gravity signal of the merged model was then compared with the observed satellite-only model GOCO05s. The largest differences are found over the tectonothermal cold and old (such as cratonic), and over warm and young areas (such as oceanic ridges). The misfit encountered comes from the mantle lid where a velocity–density relation helped to reduce the RMS error by 40%. Global residuals are also provided in terms of the gravitational gradients as they provide better spatial localization than gravity, and there is strong observational support from ESA’s satellite gradiometry mission GOCE down to the spatial resolution of 80–90 km.  相似文献

In order to explore the abnormal variations before and after the Wen'an M5. 1 earthquake on July 4,2006,the gravity data observed by the Wenba Gravity Observation Network before and after the earthquake was analyzed. The relationships between gravity change and vertical displacement and shallow groundwater level were discussed,and elevation correction of the gravity was preliminarily performed. The results show that there were abnormal gravity changes before the M5. 1 earthquake,which appeared as gravity rising in the whole observation network,especially in the south part. A high gradient of gravity variation appeared around the epicenter before the M5. 1 earthquake,especially during the short period between October 2005 to April 2006. The boundary of the positive and negative gravity variations gradually deflected and began to recover from October 2007.  相似文献

Gravity and magnetic studies have been carried out to map the different depth formations of alluvium, Gondwana, Vindhyan, Mahakoshal, and the crystalline basement in the Narmada–Son lineament (NSL) near the Sahdol–Katni area, India. Higher elevations in the northern part of the study area have lower gravity; the southern part of the study area, however, is moderately elevated and also has a higher gravity anomaly, which justifies the isostatic adjustment. This indicates the presence of high-density material, for example Mahakoshal rocks, in the upper crust which causes the higher anomaly value. The Mahakoshal rocks are widely exposed at Mau, Chanaura, Nadawar, Khamaria, Umria, and near the Tala–Barhi area and also extend from Sidhi to Agoni village further east of the area. The Mahakoshal rocks are thinner between the river Son and Tikwa village which causes a different gravity anomaly pattern changing from the NNE–SSW direction to the N–S direction. However, the trend of magnetic anomaly follows the same pattern toward the NNE–SSW direction, mainly because of the effect of the crystalline basement. Two magnetic highs are prominent in the Tikwa and Amarpur regions, 800 and 400 nTesla, respectively, because of the presence of the crystalline basement. The depth of the crystalline basement obtained by 2½ D gravity–magnetic modelling varies from 2.7 to 2.9 km. From spectral analysis the average depth of the crystalline basement varies from 2.83 to 3.05 km. The different crustal depth sections obtained by 2½ D simultaneous gravity–magnetic modelling correlate well with other constrained data.  相似文献

In this paper we search for a reference relation between seismic P-wave velocity V and density ρ ref for the continental crust. Based on the results of modern seismic experiments, we compiled 2-D seismic models into a network of four, each about 1100–1400 km long, continental-scale seismic transects cutting all main tectonic units in Central Europe. The Moho depth (about 52 km beneath the TESZ in SE Poland, to about 25 km beneath the Pannonian Basin) and the crustal structure of this area are characterised by a large variation. This structural variation provides an interesting basis for gravity studies and especially for analysing the difference of the density structure between two major tectonic provinces of distinctive age difference: Precambrian and Phanerozoic. The 2-D gravity modelling applied for crustal cross-sections representing the regional structure, based on a unified gravity anomaly map of the area, allows for a stable determination of some general features of the regional reference velocity-density relation for the continental crust. In general three major seismo-petrological types of rocks can be distinguished: sediments, crystalline crust and mantle. In compacted sediments the reference velocity-density relation is well described by the Gardner or Nafe-Drake model. Calculated gravity anomalies, using unified velocity-density relation for the whole crystalline crust, well describe observed anomalies, with an average difference of 14 mGal. However, calculated gravity anomalies, using separated velocity-density relations for the crystalline crust of Precambrian and Phanerozoic Europe, describe observed anomalies better than for the entire crust, with an average difference 12 mGal. The most important feature of these relations is the large differentiation of the derivative dρ ref /dV in the crystalline crust, being about 0.3 g s/m4 for Precambrian, and about 0.1 g s/m4 for the Phanerozoic crystalline crust. The modelling suggests a very small density value in the uppermost mantle ρ = 3.11 g/cm3 below the younger area, while for the older area it is ρ = 3.3 g/cm3.  相似文献

We analyse spatial and spectral characteristics of various refined gravity data used for modelling and gravimetric interpretation of the crust–mantle interface and the mantle-lithosphere structure. Depending on the purpose of the study, refined gravity data have either a strong or weak correlation with the Moho depths (Moho geometry). The compilation of the refined gravity data is purely based on available information on the crustal density structure obtained from seismic surveys without adopting any isostatic hypothesis. We demonstrate that the crust-stripped relative-to-mantle gravity data have a weak correlation with the CRUST2.0 Moho depths of about 0.02. Since gravitational signals due to the crustal density structure and the Moho geometry are subtracted from gravity field, these refined gravity data comprise mainly the information on the mantle lithosphere and sub-lithospheric mantle. On the other hand, the consolidated crust-stripped gravity data, obtained from the gravity field after applying the crust density contrast stripping corrections, comprise mainly the gravitational signal of the Moho geometry, although they also contain the gravitational signal due to anomalous mass density structures within the mantle. In the absence of global models of the mantle structure, the best possible option of computing refined gravity data, suitable for the recovery/refinement of the Moho interface, is to subtract the complete crust-corrected gravity data from the consolidated crust-stripped gravity data. These refined gravity data, that is, the homogenous crust gravity data, have a strong absolute correlation of about 0.99 with the CRUST2.0 Moho depths due to removing a gravitational signal of inhomogeneous density structures within the crust and mantle. Results of the spectral signal decomposition and the subsequent correlation analysis reveal that the correlation of the homogenous crust gravity data with the Moho depths is larger than 0.9 over the investigated harmonic spectrum up to harmonic degree 90. The crust-stripped relative-to-mantle gravity data correlate substantially with the Moho depths above harmonic degree 50 where the correlation exceeds 0.5.  相似文献

All existing data (6 years) on gravity wave activity, inferred from the nighttime A3 (oblique incidence on the ionosphere) radio wave absorption measurements in the lower ionosphere on 270 kHz at Prhonice in Central Europe, have been exploited to get information on the effects of QBO phases and the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption on the gravity wave activity in the winter half of the year. There appears to be an enhancement of gravity wave activity in the two winters just after the strong volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. This enhancement is remarkable for long-period waves (T=2–3 hours). No clear effect of the phase of QBO on the level of gravity wave activity has been found; a possible effect of QBO on the correlations between gravity wave activities in individual period bands is indicated. The results are limited by a relatively short data series; however, no more data will he available.  相似文献

The 2-D shallow velocity structure along the north-south Palashi-Kandi profile in the West Bengal sedimentary basin has been updated by travel-time inversion of seismic refraction, wide-angle reflection and gravity data. A six-layer shallow model up to a depth of about 7 km has been derived. The first layer, which has an average velocity of 2.0 kms?1, represents the alluvium deposit, which rests over the shale formation with average velocity of 3.0 kms?1. The thin (200 m) Sylhet limestone, observed at a nearby Palashi well, remains hidden in the present data set. Hence a 200-m thin layer with a velocity of 3.7 kms?1, corresponding to the Sylhet limestone, has been assumed to be present throughout the profile. The fourth layer with a velocity of 4.5–4.7 kms?1 at a depth of 1.7–2.4 km represents the Rajmahal traps. The ‘skip’ phenomenon and rapid amplitude decay of first arrivals indicate a low-velocity zone (LVZ) in the study area. Using the ‘skip’ phenomena and wide-angle reflection data, identified on seismograms, the LVZ with a velocity of 4.0 kms?1, indicating the Gondwana sediments, has been delineated below the Rajmahal traps. The next layer with a velocity 5.4–5.6 kms?1 overlying the crystalline basement (5.8–6.25 kms?1) may be associated with the Singhbhum group of meta volcanic rock that has been exposed in the western part of the basin. The basement lies at a variable depth of 4.9 to 6.8 km. The overall uncertainties of various velocity and boundary nodes are ± 0.15 kms?1 and ± 0.5 km, respectively. The elevated basement feature in the north might have acted as a structural barrier for the deposition of Sylhet limestone during the Eocene epoch. The seismically derived shallow structure correctly explains the observed Bouguer gravity anomaly along the profile. The addition of reflections in the present analysis provides a stronger control on the depths and velocities of basement and overlying sedimentary formations, compared to the earlier model derived mainly by the first arrival seismic data.  相似文献

Based on the perturbation method, we present a new method to study the effects of Earth’s laterally inhomogeneous structures on coseismic gravity changes caused by dislocations within a 3-D heterogeneous spherical earth model. We describe this method by six independent dislocations: A vertical strike-slip, two vertical dip-slips perpendicular to each other, and three tensile openings on three perpendicular planes. We derived the calculation formulae for the six independent dislocations. A combination of the six independent dislocations is useful to compute the effects on coseismic gravity changes resulting from an arbitrary seismic source at an arbitrary position.  相似文献
