在全球板块的很多地方,包括俯冲带、大洋中脊、甚至大陆板块的内部等,地震各向异性都与板块绝对运动的图像存在一定的相关性,或者与板内应力场的优势取向一致。本文统计分析了全球9个包含主要俯冲带的板块边界内板块运动与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性,结果表明,板块的绝对或相对运动控制着板块边界的地震各向异性和应力场特征,尤其是板块的相对运动,在板块边界带处的影响十分明显;从计算结果可以看出,板块的相对运动方向与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性要好于板块绝对运动。在包含俯冲带的板块边界处,由于俯冲机理的复杂性和控制因素的多样性,使得俯冲带处两者的相关性较为复杂,不同深度来源的各向异性表现出不同特征,且应力状态受多种因素的控制,对于该区域两者的相关性则需进一步深入研究。  相似文献

利用收集到的各种来源共计7 959组的地震各向异性观测数据和21 750组应力场数据,结合板块绝对运动模型计算给出的各板块的运动规律,分别统计分析了板块运动与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性,并对板块运动对地震各向异性及应力场特征产生的影响进行了分析. 统计结果表明,阿拉伯、 加勒比、 胡安德富卡、 北美、 纳兹卡、 太平洋和南美板块上地震各向异性与板块运动均具有较好的相关性,而非洲、 南极洲、 澳大利亚、 欧亚、 印度和菲律宾板块上二者的相关性则相对较差. 讨论分析发现,板块运动拖动软流圈流动、 橄榄岩晶格优选方位、 化石各向异性和地幔流动或岩石圈流动等因素均在一定程度上控制并影响着地震各向异性与板块运动的一致性. 而板块基底拖曳力、 洋脊推力、 浮力作用和碰撞及俯冲作用等多种因素共同制约了板块运动与应力场的相关性,使得非洲、 可可斯、 欧亚、 胡安德富卡、 北美、 纳兹卡、 菲律宾和南美板块上二者的相关性较好,其它板块上其相关性则较差. 对于俯冲带地区,由于俯冲机制的复杂性和软流圈、 岩石圈地幔流动方向的不确定性,其板块运动与地震各向异性及应力场的相关性图像表现复杂,需要结合具体的俯冲带构造进行近一步研究.   相似文献

地震各向异性是我们了解地球内部结构及其演化过程的重要信息之一,同时为岩石圈及其下部地幔在过去和现在相当长时间范围内的变形特征提供了关键性的约束.Schutt和Fouch及Wiistefeld等分别于2001和2009年对地震各向异性数据进行了汇编.本文在此基础上,收集了最新的相关观测数据,并对其进行了建库处理,数据收集过程中,我们更加注重原始数据中关于地震震源深度和震级等方面的参数收集,这些地震各向异性的观测数据,基本覆盖了NUVEL-1A模型中除可可斯和斯科舍板块以外的13个板块.这些地震各向异性数据尽管来源不同,数据质量参差不齐,给我们进行统一数据汇编带来了一定的困难,但很显然,作为基础数据,其汇编与统计分析工作还是很有意义的.相关的研究工作已经表明,地震各向异性可以用来反映俯冲带流动场的主导因素,我们对这些汇编数据的初步统计分析也显示,地震各向异性与全球板块运动及应力场特征之间均存在着较好的相关性.尽管在板块与板块间的边界带,尤其是俯冲带地区,其相关性相对较差,这可能是由于板块俯冲机制的复杂性及上地幔中固态岩石层与软流层相对非定向流动的复杂性造成的.  相似文献

板块绝对运动(即岩石圈板块相对于深部地幔的运动)导致软流圈深度存在较强的剪切作用,为软流圈呈现较强的地震波速各向异性提供了一种物理解释.相应地,软流圈地震各向异性的实测数据为反演板块绝对运动提供了一种定量的约束.本文利用前人发表的由474个剪切波分裂数据组成的全球软流圈地震各向异性方向数据集,结合板块相对运动模型MORVEL,通过加权最小二乘法反演板块绝对运动.计算结果表明,由实测数据约束的板块绝对运动模型不能将观测数据拟合到原始数据测量误差要求的统计水平上,反映出以地震各向异性方向指示板块绝对运动方向存在原始数据测量误差之外的系统性误差.该误差或可归因于板块绝对运动控制软流圈地震各向异性的物理机制复杂性以及小尺度地幔流动的区域复杂性.因此,地震各向异性方向只能从统计平均的意义上约束板块绝对运动方向,两者间的差别除了测量误差外还应包含复杂物理成因的模型误差.在原始数据测量误差的基础上增加20°的模型误差并且剔除一个离群数据后,本文得到了最优拟合剪切波分裂数据集的SKS473模型,并与由热点数据反演得到的板块绝对运动模型进行对比.由于约束板块绝对运动的地震各向异性数据和热点数据都存在误差较大、地理分布不均的局限性,结合两类数据的联合反演或可成为未来建立更高精度板块绝对运动模型的有效途径.  相似文献

来自板块之间相对运动的构造力可以传递到大陆地壳,从而形成了大陆内部的地震应力场.在某一地区,包括小地震在内的地震活动性的分布可以反映该地区的应力场的变化.根据这一观点,本文根据大量的震源机制解的结果以及最近500年的地震活动资料,详细地研究了东亚地区内几个地区的区域应力场的特征.其结果表明,来自太平洋板块相对欧亚板块的俯冲所形成的构造力,控制了从华北地区到南北地震带北段的应力场.本文根据小震的地震活动变化的特征,讨论了日本一部分地区由地震活动性的变化所反映的区域应力场的变化.中国西部以及印度-澳大利亚和欧亚大陆板块边界地区,最近大约100年地震活动性的同步变化表明,来自印度-澳大利亚板块和欧亚板块碰撞所产生的构造力,传递到了中国西部.印度-澳大利亚板块和欧亚大陆板块边界,以及中国西部的地震活动,现在依然处在地震活动高潮期.   相似文献

为了研究海沟型巨大地震发生机制及其构造动力学特征,详细研究了地震活动与震源机制结果,根据地震俯冲带几何形状及其内应力场区域特征,南海海槽下的俯冲带可划分为两段: 东部的四国-纪伊半岛段和西部的九州段. 东部的菲律宾海板块地震俯冲带呈现出低角度俯冲(10°~22°),且俯冲深度相当浅(60~85km)的特征;而西部九州段的俯冲带为高角度俯冲(40°),且俯冲深度较深(160km). 东、西部俯冲带内部应力场也截然不同. 东部的四国大部分地区和纪伊半岛的俯冲带内表现为俯冲压缩型应力场, 而西部的九州段则为明显的俯冲拉张型应力场. 本文在综合分析了重力异常、GPS、热流量等地球物理观测结果后指出,南海海槽东部, 即四国-纪伊半岛以南的海槽区域, 具有与智利海沟极其相似的地震发生板块构造动力学背景和高应力积累等特征, 属于年轻活动俯冲带的高应力型俯冲. 而西部的九州段,虽然也是海沟型地震活动区, 但不具有大地震发生的构造动力学背景和高应力积累, 不属于年轻活动俯冲带的高应力型俯冲. 俯冲带年龄的不同很可能是造成南海海槽东、西段板块构造动力学以及应力场不同的根本原因之一.  相似文献

俯冲带深部应力场的二维弹性有限元数值模拟   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2  
基于一些简化的数值模型,根据弹性本构关系,用平面应变有限元方法计算了相变引起的体积变化、板块内部温度差、密度异常及边界力产生的应力场分布情况.数值模拟结果显示,热应力能够解释俯冲带深源地震的应力场方向特征,但解释不了深源地震的深度分布特征;有亚稳态橄榄石存在时密度异常所产生的应力场特征与地震观测结果所显示的应力场特征有所偏离;虽然橄榄石——尖晶石相变体积变化所产生的应力在橄榄石——尖晶石相变过渡区附近有最大值,其数值远远超过温度差和密度异常产生的应力场的最大剪应力数值,但在相变界面附近的区域,主压应力方向垂直于相变界面的方向,与地震观测结果所显示的主压应力的方向不一致.所以,不能用弹性模拟得出的俯冲带温度变化所产生的热应力、俯冲带密度变化所产生的应力、相变体积变化所产生的应力来对深源地震进行简单化的解释.   相似文献

—We examine the possibility of seismic anisotropy in the asthenosphere due to present plate motion using SKS splitting results. The fast directions of anisotropy correlate weakly with the directions of the absolute plate motion (APM) for all APM models. Weak correlation indicates the possibility of asthenospheric anisotropy as well as frozen anisotropy in the lithosphere. Detection of strain rate dependence of anisotropy is helpful to further conclusion of the problem. The selection of reference frame is important to describe shear deformation in the asthenosphere beneath continent due to plate motion. The behavior of hot spots to the mesosphere, fixed or drifted by mantle return flow, is a key of the selection of the reference frame. For the NNR-NUVEL1 model, APM correlated anisotropy appears only at plate velocity faster than 1.4 cm/yr. It suggests the new possibility of the formation of asthenospheric anisotropy in addition to frozen anisotropy in the lithosphere. A critical plate velocity for the formation of anisotropy can be caused by the dislocation-diffusion transition as a function of strain rate on a deformation mechanism map of the upper mantle olivine.  相似文献

Subduction zones can generally be classified into Mariana type and Chilean type depending on plate ages,plate thicknesses, subduction angles, back-arc deformation patterns, etc. The double seismic zones(DSZs) in subduction zones are mainly divided into type I and type II which, respectively, correspond to the Mariana type and Chilean type in most cases. Seismic anisotropy is an important parameter characterizing the geophysical features of the lithosphere, including the subduction zones,and can be described by the two parameters of delay time dt and fast wave polarization direction /. We totally collected 524 seismic anisotropy data records from 24 DSZs and analyzed the statistical correlations between seismic anisotropy and the related physical parameters of DSZs.Our statistical analysis demonstrated that the fast wave polarization directions are parallel to the trench strike with no more than 30° for most type I DSZs, while being nearlyperpendicular to the trench strike for type II DSZs. We also calculated roughly linear correlations that the delay time dt increases with dip angles but decreases with subduction rates. A linear equation was summarized to describe the strong correlation between DSZ's subduction angle aDSZ and seismic anisotropy in subduction zones. These results suggest that the anisotropic structure of the subducting lithosphere can be described as a possible equivalent crystal similar to the olivine crystal with three mutually orthogonal polarization axes, of which the longest and the second axes are nearly along the trench-perpendicular and trench-parallel directions, respectively.  相似文献

中国大陆及邻区上地幔P波各向异性结构   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
利用分布在中国大陆及邻近地区的213个地震台站记录到的远震P波走时数据和弱各向异性条件下P波速度扰动调和分析方法,研究了中国大陆上地幔P波各向异性结构.研究结果表明中国大陆西部上地幔变形主要受印度大陆俯冲的影响.印度大陆的P波快波方向总体为NNE方向,与绝对板块运动方向一致,这表明印度大陆上地幔流动方向与板块运动方向一致.青藏高原内部、东天山的P波快波方向与主压应力方向接近,而在青藏高原南缘、北缘及东北缘等块体边界地区P波快波方向与主压应力方向垂直.中国大陆东部上地幔变形主要受菲律宾板块和太平洋板块俯冲的影响.在扬子板块内部P波快波方向为SE方向,这与绝对板块的运动方向一致.华北地区的各向异性结构较为复杂,可能与华北克拉通裂解有关.中国大陆东北的东部平均方向为SE,而在兴安岭一侧为SSW方向,即平行于构造线方向.根据各向异性的倾角,中国大陆及邻区上地幔各向异性结构大体可分为三块:1)青藏新疆地区的各向异性倾角接近水平,推测该区形变力源主要为上地幔物质水平流动.2)南北带地区的各向异性倾角较大,特别是在青藏东缘地区的倾角约为40°,这可能是由于青藏向东挤出过程中受华南地块和鄂尔多斯地块的阻挡,在板块边界地区产生了垂直变形.3)中国东部地区各向异性结构较为复杂,在中国大陆东北部各向异性倾角接近水平,这可能是该区上地幔变形主要受太平洋板块俯冲的影响,而在太行山、大别-苏鲁地区各向异性倾角较大,这表明该区上地幔以垂直变形为主.  相似文献

It has been hypothesised that seismic and electrical anisotropy at the base of the lithosphere are caused by strain-induced lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine [100] axes parallel to present-day plate motion. This would imply that seismic and electrical anisotropy observations can provide geodynamicists with fundamental information for characterising mantle flow. The qualitative agreement between the fast direction of SV-waves and direction of maximum electrical conductance modelled deeper than 150 km below the North Central craton of Australia appear to support a common alignment mechanism, and the observed, anisotropic electrical conductances can be generated by hydrogen diffusivity in a water-poor (<1000 ppm H/Si) olivine mantle. A quantitative test is proposed for the hypothesis that electrical anisotropy is generated by anisotropic hydrogen diffusion rates (D) in olivine. Electrical anisotropy factors are computed using random resistor network models assuming that D[100]≈20×D[010]≈40×D[001]. Electrical and seismic anisotropies calculated from olivine LPO angular distribution functions modelled for a range of shear strains under a simple shear deformation demonstrate that the intensity of olivine [100] alignments (and associated shear strains) that would be required to explain the electrical anisotropy in the mantle below central Australia are significantly greater than predicted by Rayleigh wave anisotropies. The poor agreement between the observed electrical anisotropies and the electrical anisotropies that would be predicted from the Rayleigh wave anisotropies indicates that either (i) electrical anisotropy in the upper mantle below central Australia is not generated by hydrogen diffusivity alone or (ii) the seismic anisotropy is underestimated. The orientation of the olivine [100] axes maxima is inferred to be ∼30° rotated relative to the direction of present-day absolute plate motion (APM) that is determined relative to the hotspot reference frame (HS2-NUVEL1). Both the APM direction that is determined relative to a reference frame defined by requiring no-net rotation of the lithosphere (NNR-NUVEL1) and GPS-derived plate motion vectors fit the geophysical observations of upper mantle anisotropy better. This may support the contention that hotspots are not stationary relative to the deep mantle.  相似文献

The observed plate velocities contain two types of motions. The poloidal component is related to the formation of ridges and subduction zones and the toroidal field expresses the shearing of surface plates. One very important consideration in modeling flow in the earth's mantle is the existence and motion of the lithospheric plates. The motion of plates represents a large-scale circulation with strong viscous coupling to the mantle underneath. The mantle flow probably is neither a purely free convection driven by buoyancy forces due to nonadiabatic temperature gradients in the mantle nor a forced convection generated by boundary forces, but a mixed convection that combines the effects of boundary and buoyancy forces. We present, in this paper, the mixed convection model resulting in a surface velocity field that contains both the observed poloidal and toroidal components.  相似文献

The evidence of east-west compression in northeast Japan has been reported by many investigators on the basis of geodetic, geologic and geomorphic data, but its origin still remains far from understood. In the present study we have proposed a mechanical model of tectonic loading at convergent plate boundary zones, and demonstrated its validity through the numerical simulation of internal stress fields in northeast Japan with realistic 3-D geometry of plate interfaces. At convergent plate boundary zones, in general, a part of plate convergence is consumed by steady slip along plate interfaces, and the remaining part by inelastic deformation (seismic faulting, aseismic faulting, and active folding) of overriding plates. Such a plate boundary process to be called ``partial collision' can be quantitatively described by introducing a collision rate defined as c = 1 − steady slip rate at plate interfaces/plate convergence rate. By this definition, we can simply represent the mechanical process of partial collision, which includes total subduction (c = 0) and total collision (c = 1) as two extreme cases, in terms of steady slip rates at plate interfaces. On the basis of elastic dislocation theory, first, we numerically computed the internal stress fields in northeast Japan produced by the total subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the North American plate, however the computed stress pattern was opposite in sense to observations. Then, we computed the internal stress fields by taking c = 0.1 on average, and succeeded in reproducing the observed east-west compression in northeast Japan. This indicates that the concept of partial collision is essential to understand the mechanism of intraplate tectonic loading.  相似文献

Tectonic forces from the relative movements between plates are transmitted into the continental crust, and then they create the earthquake generating stress field there. The space-time distribution of the seismic activity including the small earthquakes in a region reflects the variation of the stress field in the region. According to this idea, the characteristics of the stress fields in the various regions of East Asia have been analyzed in detail in this paper based on a lot of solutions of focal mechanisms and data of seismic activity during the last 500 years. The results indicate that the tectonic forces from the subduction of the Pacific Ocean plate underneath the Eurasian plate control the stress field in the region from North China to the northern part of the North-South Seismic Belt. The variation of the regional stress field shown by the variation of seismic activity in some regions of Japan has also been discussed based on characteristics of variation of the seimicity of small earthquakes. Synchronous variations of seismicity in the past 100 years or so in West China and in the boundary region between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates implicate that there is the transmission of tectonic forces into West China through the collision between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates. The active seismic activity in the boundary region between the Indo-Australian and the Eurasian plates and in West China is continuing consistently. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,13, 287–294, 1991.  相似文献
