里德尔剪切的组合型式与走滑盆地组合型式的相似性 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
走滑断裂体系中经常发育里德尔剪切的断裂组合,世界上不同构造背景下与走滑断裂相关的盆地(走滑盆地)也很多见。因此里德尔剪切是地质构造研究中的重要方面。我们从三个方面对里德尔剪切的节理构造组合及盆地组合进行了对比:(1)里德尔剪切构造组合与比例尺无关。里德尔剪切带的(转换)拉张区与沉积盆地的分布区是相似的;(2)断裂的最大位移区与断陷盆地的沉积中心是一致的,断陷盆地长轴平行于断裂走向;(3)物理模拟试验及数学模拟试验都证实了走滑盆地的演化。基于上述认识,我们通过厘米级岩芯标本的观察,结合已发表的盆地资料,提出了6类与里德尔剪切有关的构造组合及断陷盆地组合。(1)雁列状构造及盆地组合:许多盆地发育雁列状构造。同时,与里德尔剪切相关的雁列状盆地的宽度与主剪切断裂的剪切位移呈正相关。(2)帚状或马尾状构造及盆地组合:二者在形态上相似,所以归为一类。成因上,马尾状构造及盆地主要发育在走滑断裂的拉张端部,而帚状构造或盆地反映走滑断裂的旋扭作用,可以在走滑断裂影响区域的任何部位。(3)串珠状构造及盆地组合:该类型的盆地主要是指释压盆地的组合,拉分盆地也可以形成串珠状盆地。(4)S状或Z状构造或盆地组合:左行走滑形成Z状构造或盆地,而右行走划形成S状构造或盆地。(5)多字型构造及盆地组合:是拉分盆地的典型组合,可以过渡到串珠状盆地。(6)复杂的网状构造及盆地组合:通常是由于分布型简单剪切的作用结果。以上盆地组合类型包括大型盆地内次级单元(次级盆地或更次级盆地)的组合,但不包括多成因、多期活动的构造及盆地。 相似文献

The initiation and linkage of surface fractures above a buried strike-slip fault: An experimental approach 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Surface fractures in the overburdened sedimentary rocks, formed above a deep-seated basement fault, often provide important
information about the kinematics of the underlying master fault. It has already been established that these surface fractures
dynamically evolve and link one another with progressive displacement on the master fault below. In the present study, two
different series of riedel-type experiments were carried out with clay analogue models under different boundary conditions
viz., (i) heterogeneous simple shear of the cover rocks above a buried strike slip fault (wrench system) and (ii) heterogeneous
simple shear with a component of shear-normal compression of the overburden package above a basement fault (transpressional
system), to observe the initiation and linkage of surface fractures with varying T′ (where T′ = thickness of the overburden normalized with respect to the width of the master fault). In the wrench system, Riedel (R)
shears were linked by principal displacement (Y) shears at early stages (shear strain of 0.8 to 1) in thin (2 < T′ < 18) models and finally (at a minimum shear strain of 1.4) gave rise to a through-going fault parallel to the basement fault
without development of any other fracture. Conjugate Riedel (R′) shears develop only within the thicker (T′ > 18) clay models at a minimum shear strain of 0.7. With increasing deformation (at a minimum shear strain of 1.2) two R′
shears were joined by an R shear and finally opened up to make a sigmoidal vein with an asymmetry antithetic to the major
fault-movement sense. Under transpression, the results were similar to that of heterogeneous simple shear for layers 2 < T′ < 15. In layers of intermediate thickness (15 < T′ < 25) early formed high angle R shears were cross cut by low angle R shears (at a minimum shear strain of 0.5 and shortening
of 0.028) and “Riedel-within-Riedel” shears were formed within thick (T′ > 25) models (at minimum shear strain of 0.7 and shortening of 0.1), with marked angularity of secondary fault zone with
the master fault at depth. 相似文献

The Olinghouse fault zone is one of several NE—ENE-trending fault zones and lineaments, including the Midas Trench and the Carson—Carson Sink Lineament, which exhibit left-lateral transcurrent movement conjugate to the Walker Lane in western Nevada. The active portion of this fault zone extends for approximately 23 km, from 16 km east of Reno, Nevada, to the southern extent of Pyramid Lake. The fault can be traced for most of its length from its geomorphic expression in the hilly terrain, and it is hidden only where overlain by recent alluvial sediments. Numerous features characteristic of strike-slip faulting can be observed along the fault, including: scarps, vegetation lines, sidehill and shutter ridges, sag ponds, offset stream channels and stone stripes, enclosed rhombohedral and wedge-shaped depressions, and en-echelon fractures.A shear zone having a maximum observable width of 1.3 km is defined principally by Riedel shears and their symmetrical P-shears, with secondary definition by deformed conjugate Riedel shears. Several continuous horizontal shears, or principal displacement shears, occupy the axial portion of the shear zone. The existence of P-shears and principal displacement shears suggests evolution of movement along the fault zone analogous to the “Post-Peak” or “Pre-Residual Structure” stage.Historic activity (1869) has established the seismic potential of this zone. Maximum intensities and plots of the isoseismals indicate the 1869 Olinghouse earthquake had a magnitude of 6.7. Field study indicates the active length of the fault zone is at least 23 km and the maximum 1869 displacement was 3.65 m of left-slip. From maximum fault length and maximum fault displacement to earthquake magnitude relations, this corresponds to an earthquake of about magnitude 7. 相似文献

The Pyramid Lake fault zone is within the Honey Lake—Walker Lake segment of the Walker Lane, a NW-trending zone of right-slip transcurrent faulting, which extends for more than 600 km from Las Vegas, Nevada, to beyond Honey Lake, California. Multiscale, multiformat analysis of Landsat imagery and large-scale (1: 12,000) lowsun angle aerial photography, delineated both regional and site-specific evidence for faults in Late Cenozoic sedimentary deposits southwest of Pyramid Lake. The fault zone is coincident with a portion of a distinct NW-trending topographic discontinuity on the Landsat mosaic of Nevada. The zone exhibits numerous geomorphic features characteristic of strike-slip fault zones, including: recent scarps, offset stream channels, linear gullies, elongate troughs and depressions, sag ponds, vegetation alignments, transcurrent buckles, and rhombohedral and wedge-shaped enclosed depressions. These features are conspicuously developed in Late Pleistocene and Holocene sedimentary deposits and landforms.The Pyramid Lake shear zone has a maximum observable width of 5 km, defined by Riedel and conjugate Riedel shears with maximum observable lenghts of 10 and 3 km, respectively. P-shears have formed symmetrical to the Riedel shears and the principal displacement shears, or continuous horizontal shears, isolate elongate lenses of essentially passive material; most of the shears are inclined at an angle of approximately 4° to the principal direction of displacement. This suggests that the shear zone is in an early “PreResidual Structure” stage of evolution, with the principal deformation mechanism of direct shear replacing the kinematic restraints inherent in the strain field.Historic seismic activity includes microseismic events and may include the earthquake of about 1850 reported for the Pyramid Lake area with an estimated Richter magnitude of 7.0. Based on worldwide relations of earthquake magnitude to length of the zone of surface rupture, the Pyramid Lake fault zone is inferred to be capable of generating a 7.0–7.5-magnitude event for a maximum observable length of approximately 6 km and a 6.75–7.25-magnitude event for a half length of approximately 30 km. 相似文献

估计同震滑移向量对于认识和理解破裂方式和破裂过程具有重要意义。2008年汶川大地震在青藏高原东缘龙门山推覆构造带的中央断裂和前山断裂上各形成了一条长250 km和72 km的地表破裂带。地震发生后至今,已经发表了大量有关同震位错沿破裂带分布的论文和报告,但绝大部分都仅仅是破裂的走向位错和垂直位错,极少有同震滑移向量的报道。这不仅是因为野外难以直接测量到水平缩短量(或拉张量),而且还因为这些走滑位错实际上是视走滑位错,部分或全部来自水平缩短或拉张。因此,仅仅根据视走滑同震位错和垂直同震位错估计的同震总滑移量肯定包含了相当大的误差。尝试利用据不同走向参考线测量到的一组(两个以上)视走滑位错来计算水平滑移向量的这一新方法,获得了中央破裂带上的7个水平同震滑移向量,并结合垂直位错量进一步计算了走滑、倾滑和水平缩短三个同震滑移分量以及断层倾角和破裂面上的同震滑移向量,综合出露破裂面的擦痕所指示的滑移向量,并对比根据矩张量解获得的震源深度的滑移向量,得出以下认识:(1)破裂南段的地表滑移向量的方位角明显小于震源深度滑移向量的方位角,表明在破裂从震源向地表传播过程中破裂面上的滑移向量发生了逆时针旋转;(2)滑移方位角向北东方向逐渐增大,表明地平面上水平滑移向量表现出顺时针旋转的趋势,而且在破裂向北东方向传播过程中近地表的走滑分量逐渐减小而倾滑分量逐渐增大;(3)几乎在每一个观测点倾滑分量都大于走滑分量,表明汶川地震的破裂方式在任何地点都是以逆冲运动为主;(4)破裂面倾角在10.4°～64.7°,平均值为41°,与天然破裂露头和探槽揭示的结果基本一致;(5)滑移向量沿破裂带的分布显示,走滑分量中段大而两端小,倾滑分量则相反,中段小两端大。 相似文献

An unusual structural paragenesis, complicated by brachyanticlines, is revealed for the first time in the sedimentary cover
of the West Siberian Plate by 3D seismic surveying. These are linear (in plan view) systems of en-echelon arranged low-amplitude
normal faults related to wrench faults in the basement. On different sides off a wrench fault, the planes of normal faults
dip in opposite directions, forming a helicoidal structure that resembles the blades of a propeller. In the section parallel
to the wrench fault, the boundaries of the beds and normal fault planes dip in opposite directions as well. In the section
across the strike of the normal faults converging toward the basement, the beds take the shape of an antiform with a crest
sagged along the normal faults (flower structure). This structural assembly was formed as a result of interference of stress
fields of horizontal shear in the vertical plane (induced by faulting in the basement) and in the horizontal plane (caused
by gravity resistance of the cover). In this case, the displacements along the normal faults develop in both the vertical
and, to a greater extent, horizontal directions, so that the faults in cover are actually characterized by normal-strike-slip
kinematics. The regional N-S-trending compression of the West Siberian Plate is the main cause of shearing along the NW- and
NE-trending faults in the basement, which make up a rhomb-shaped system in plan view. Petroliferous brachyanticlines, whose
axes, notwithstanding tectonophysical laws, are oriented in the direction close to the maximum compression axis, are known
in the large wrench fault zones of Western Siberia. Our experiments with equivalent materials showed that a local stress field
arising at the ends of echeloned Riedel shears within a wrench fault zone may be a cause of the formation of such brachyanticlines.
The progressive elongation of Riedel shears leads to the corresponding elongation of the brachyanticlines located between
their ends. The performed study has shown that the known types of interference of elementary geodynamic settings such as horizontal
shear along the vertical plane + horizontal compression (transpression) and horizontal shear along the vertical plane + horizontal
extension (transtension) may be supplemented by combination of horizontal shears along the vertical and horizontal planes,
resulting in tectonic lamination. By analogy, we propose to name this type of interference of elementary shear settings translamination. Petroliferous helicoidal structures arise in the given geodynamic setting of translamination. 相似文献

Typical pull-apart structures were created in scaled clay experiments with a pure strike-slip geometry (Riedel type experiments). A clay slab represents the sedimentary cover above a strike-slip fault in the rigid basement. At an early stage of the development of the deformation zone, synthetic shear fractures (Riedel shears) within the clay slab display dilatational behaviour. With increasing basal displacement the Riedel shears rotate and open further, developing into long, narrow and deep troughs. The shear displacement and the low angle with the prescribed principal basal fault set them apart from tension gashes. At a more evolved stage, synthetic segments (Y-shears) parallel to the basal principal fault develop and accommodate progressive strike-slip deformation. The Y-shears connect the tips of adjacent troughs developed from the earlier Riedel shears, resulting in the typical rhomb-shaped structures characteristic for pull-apart basins. The Strait of Sicily rift zone, with major strike-slip systems being active from the Miocene to the Present, comprises pull-apart basins at different length scales, for which the structural record suggests development by a mechanism similar to that observed in our experiments. 相似文献

Secondary fractures at the tips of strike-slip faults are common in the ice shell of Europa. Large magnitude perturbed stress fields must therefore be considered to be a viable driving mechanism for the development of part of the fracture sequence. Fault motions produce extensional and compressional quadrants around the fault tips. Theoretically, these quadrants can be associated with tensile and compressive deformational features (i.e. cracks and anti-cracks), respectively. Accordingly, we describe examples of both types of deformation at fault tips on Europa in the form of extensional tailcracks and compressional anti-cracks. The characteristics of these features with respect to the plane of the fault create a fingerprint for the mechanics of fault slip accumulation when compared with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) models of perturbed stress fields around fault tips. Tailcrack kink angles and curving geometry can be used to determine whether opening accompanies sliding motion. Kink angles in the 50–70° range are common along strike-slip faults that resemble ridges, and indicate that little to no opening accompanied sliding. In contrast, tailcrack kink angles are closer to 30° for strike-slip faults that resemble bands, with tailcrack curvatures opposite to ridge-like fault examples, indicating that these faults undergo significant dilation and infill during fault slip episodes. Anti-cracks, which may result from compression and volume reduction of porous near-surface ice, have geometries that further constrain fault motion history, corroborating the results of tailcrack analysis. The angular separation between anti-cracks and tailcracks are similar to LEFM predictions, indicating the absence of cohesive end-zones near the tips of Europan faults, hence suggesting homogeneous frictional properties along the fault length. Tailcrack analysis can be applied to the interpretation of cycloidal ridges: chains of arcuate cracks on Europa that are separated by sharp kinks called cusps. Cusp angles are reminiscent of tailcrack kink angles along ridge-like strike-slip faults. Cycloid growth in a temporally variable tidal stress field ultimately resolves shear stresses onto the near-tip region of a growing cycloid segment. Thus, resultant slip and associated tailcrack development may be the driving force behind the initiation of the succeeding arcuate segment, hence facilitating the ongoing propagation of the cycloid chain. 相似文献

Large earthquakes in strike-slip regimes commonly rupture fault segments that are oblique to each other in both strike and dip. This was the case during the 1999 Izmit earthquake, which mainly ruptured E–W-striking right-lateral faults but also ruptured the N60°E-striking Karadere fault at the eastern end of the main rupture. It will also likely be so for any future large fault rupture in the adjacent Sea of Marmara. Our aim here is to characterize the effects of regional stress direction, stress triggering due to rupture, and mechanical slip interaction on the composite rupture process. We examine the failure tendency and slip mechanism on secondary faults that are oblique in strike and dip to a vertical strike-slip fault or “master” fault. For a regional stress field well-oriented for slip on a vertical right-lateral strike-slip fault, we determine that oblique normal faulting is most favored on dipping faults with two different strikes, both of which are oriented clockwise from the strike-slip fault. The orientation closer in strike to the master fault is predicted to slip with right-lateral oblique normal slip, the other one with left-lateral oblique normal slip. The most favored secondary fault orientations depend on the effective coefficient of friction on the faults and the ratio of the vertical stress to the maximum horizontal stress. If the regional stress instead causes left-lateral slip on the vertical master fault, the most favored secondary faults would be oriented counterclockwise from the master fault. For secondary faults striking ±30° oblique to the master fault, right-lateral slip on the master fault brings both these secondary fault orientations closer to the Coulomb condition for shear failure with oblique right-lateral slip. For a secondary fault striking 30° counterclockwise, the predicted stress change and the component of reverse slip both increase for shallower-angle dips of the secondary fault. For a secondary fault striking 30° clockwise, the predicted stress change decreases but the predicted component of normal slip increases for shallower-angle dips of the secondary fault. When both the vertical master fault and the dipping secondary fault are allowed to slip, mechanical interaction produces sharp gradients or discontinuities in slip across their intersection lines. This can effectively constrain rupture to limited portions of larger faults, depending on the locations of fault intersections. Across the fault intersection line, predicted rakes can vary by >40° and the sense of lateral slip can reverse. Application of these results provides a potential explanation for why only a limited portion of the Karadere fault ruptured during the Izmit earthquake. Our results also suggest that the geometries of fault intersection within the Sea of Marmara favor composite rupture of multiple oblique fault segments. 相似文献

2022年1月8日青海门源MS 6.9地震发生在青藏高原东北缘的祁连山断块内部,仪器震中位于海原活动断裂系西段的冷龙岭断裂带上,是该断裂系自1920年海原8.5级大地震后再次发生M>6.5的强震。考察结果的初步总结表明,此次门源地震产生了呈左阶斜列分布、总长度近23 km的南北两条破裂,在两者之间存在长约3.2 km、宽近2 km的地表破裂空区。南支破裂(F1)出现在托来山断裂的东段,走向91°,长约2.4 km,以兼具向南逆冲的左旋走滑变形为主,最大走滑位移近0.4 m。北支主破裂(F2)出现在冷龙岭断裂的西段,总长度近20 km,以左旋走滑变形为主,呈整体微凸向北东的弧形展布,包含了走向分别为102°、109°和118°的西、中、东三段,最大走滑位移出现在中段,为3.0±0.2 m。此外,在北支主破裂中—东段的北侧新发现一条累计长度约7.6 km、以右旋正断为主的北支次级破裂(F3),累计最大走滑量约0.8 m,最大正断位移约1.5 m。综合分析认为,整个同震破裂以左旋走滑变形为主,具有双侧破裂特点,宏观震中位于北支主破裂的中段,其地表走滑位移很大可能与震源破裂深度浅有关,其中的右旋正断次级破裂可能是南侧主动盘向东运移过程中拖曳北侧块体发生差异运动所引起的特殊变形现象。印度与欧亚板块近南北向强烈碰撞挤压导致南祁连断块沿海原左旋走滑断裂系向东挤出,从而引发该断裂系中的托来山断裂与冷龙岭断裂同时发生破裂,成为导致此次强震的主要动力机制。在此大陆动力学背景下,以海原左旋走滑断裂系为主边界的祁连山断块及其周边的未来强震危险性需得到进一步重视。 相似文献

塔里木盆地奥陶系走滑断层是发育在克拉通内部稳定区的小滑移距走滑断层,对于深部储层形成与油气富集具有重要的控制作用。基于哈拉哈塘油田4 140 km2三维地震资料,在高精度相干切片提取与地震精细解释基础上,对研究区奥陶系走滑断层进行了分段研究并讨论了分段性对于储层发育与油气富集的控制作用。结果表明：(1)哈拉哈塘油田奥陶系走滑断层整体格局为由北东、北西向断层组成的纯剪机制下形成的共轭走滑断层,单条走滑断层的构造特征符合Riedel剪切模型,主干断层周围主要发育R剪切分支断层。(2)根据走滑断层不同部位构造样式、应力状态的差异,建立了小滑移距走滑断层分段发育模式。走滑断层端部为应力发散区,多表现为马尾状构造,可分为伸展型和挤压型马尾状构造。走滑断层内部由线性段、斜列叠覆段、分支断层段、辫状构造段组合而成。线性段呈线性延伸,剖面上为孤立的高陡直立断层。斜列叠覆段分为拉张型叠覆段和挤压型叠覆段,其类型受控于次级断层旋向与阶步的关系。分支断层段多为斜交压扭样式,羽状断层发育较少。辫状构造段内部断垒与断堑交错发育,划分为张扭段、压扭段。(3)不同段具有不同的储层发育特征。马尾状构造段、斜列叠覆段、辫状构造段储层最为发育,分支断层段储层较为发育,线性段储层相对不发育。(4)综合储层发育位置、油源断裂与分支断层配置关系、局部构造高3方面因素,建立了6类与走滑断层相关的油气富集模式。R剪切分支断层与主干断层夹持部位、压扭段内部、马尾状分支断层高部位是北部潜山顺层岩溶区最为发育的3种油藏富集模式;压扭段内部、张扭段是南部断控岩溶区油气更富集的部位。论文成果认识对于完善克拉通盆地稳定区小滑移距走滑断层分段发育规律具有重要的理论意义,对于受控于走滑断层的岩溶缝洞型油气藏的勘探开发具有一定的生产指导意义。 相似文献

Clay-rich fault rocks have long been recognized to host distinctive fabric elements, and fault rock fabric is increasingly thought to play a fundamental role in fault mechanical behaviour in the brittle regime. Although the geometries of fabric elements in fault gouges have been described for almost a century, the genesis and evolution of these elements during shear, and their links to bulk mechanical properties, remain poorly understood. We characterize the development and evolution of fabric elements with increasing shear in a variety of clay-rich experimental gouges over shear strains of <1 to >20 and at normal stresses of 2–150 MPa in the double-direct shear configuration. In addition to SEM observations of experiment products at a variety of shear strains, we quantified clay fabric intensity and the degree of grain size reduction using X-ray Texture Goniometry (XTG) and particle size distribution (PSD) measurements. We also measured P- and S-wave velocities during shear to further probe the evolution of shear fabric and gouge properties. We find that clay fabric elements develop in a systematic manner regardless of the gouge material. Riedel shears in the R1 orientation and boundary-parallel shears are the dominant fabric elements. Riedel shears nucleate at layer margins and propagate into the layer shortly after reaching yield stress. Clay particles rotate into the P-orientation shortly after Riedels propagate through the layer. The Riedel shears are through-going, but are >10× thinner than similar zones observed in coarser granular materials. Our results suggest that the weakness of clay-rich fault gouge may be less a function of anisotropic crystal structure, as has been suggested previously, and more a consequence of very thin shear surfaces permitting deformation in clay-rich materials with minimal dilation or cataclasis. The very thin shear surfaces are a function of the fine grain size of the materials and possibly polymodal PSD's. 相似文献

柯坪断隆内断裂发育，笔者根据野外及地震数据对各主要断裂和二级断裂进行了分析，认为柯坪塔格断裂形成于晚第三纪，沙井子断裂早期与柯坪塔格具有不同的发育历史，阿合奇断裂形成于挤压而非走滑的背景下，皮羌断裂和印干走滑断裂其实是协调作用的捩断层。萨尔干断裂是一条假走滑断层，实际上应该是一条撕裂断层。在挤压背景下形成了二类主要的断裂构造组合样式；叠瓦推覆体、构造窗。笔者认为柯坪断隆上的构造其实是印度板块和欧亚板块远程碰撞造山和板内变形的一种表现。 相似文献

青海鄂拉山断裂带晚第四纪构造活动及其所反映的青藏高原东北缘的变形机制 总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11
鄂拉山断裂带是分隔青海乌兰盆地 (柴达木盆地的一部分 )与茶卡—共和盆地的一条重要边界断裂 ,长约 2 0 7km ,由 6条规模较大的主要以右阶或左阶次级断裂段羽列而成 ,阶距约 1～ 3.5km。该断裂右旋走滑的起始时代为第四纪初期 ,约在 1.8～ 3.8MaB .P .期间 ,大的地质体累积断错约 9～12km。断裂新活动形成了一系列山脊、冲沟和阶地等的右旋断错及断层崖、断层陡坎等。晚更新世晚期以来 ,鄂拉山断裂带的平均水平滑动速率为 (4 .1± 0 .9)mm/a ,垂直滑动速率为 (0 .15± 0 .1)mm/a。鄂拉山地区的构造变形受区域NE向构造应力作用下的剪切压扁与鄂拉山断裂的右旋剪切和挤压的共同影响 ,共和—茶卡盆地和乌兰盆地均属于走滑挤压型盆地。青藏高原东北缘地区在区域性北东向挤压的作用之下 ,应变被分解为沿北西西向断裂的左旋走滑和沿北北西向断裂的右旋走滑运动 ,形成一对共轭的剪切断裂。鄂拉山断裂及其他北北西走向断裂的发展演化和变形机制表明青藏高原东北缘向东的挤出和逃逸是非常有限的。 相似文献

鲜水河断裂带渐新世至早中新世两期变形相关混合岩的锆石U - Pb年代学及其意义 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
鲜水河断裂带是青藏高原东缘重要的走滑断裂带。沿该断裂带发育长约120 km、宽约3~5 km的混合岩。运动学和年代学资料表明其与鲜水河断裂带渐新世至早中新世的两期变形有关。第一期变形发生在32~27 Ma,混合岩显微构造显示强烈压扁机制,反映了沿鲜水河断裂带的挤压变形机制。第二期混合岩中两个淡色体的样品获得了25.06 Ma和20.9 Ma的锆石U Pb年龄,限定混合岩化的时间约为25~20 Ma。这期混合岩以发育左行走滑的矿物生长线理为特征,反映了走滑的应力体制。与这期混合岩密切相关的5块花岗岩样品均获得了20~19 Ma的锆石U Pb年龄,代表了混合岩化作用的结束。两期混合岩的发现限定了鲜水河断裂带新生代由挤压体制到左行走滑体制的转变,也即鲜水河断裂带新生代走滑起始时间27~25 Ma。该发现对于认识青藏高原东缘新生代的构造变形过程具有重要意义。 相似文献

2001年11月14日昆仑山口西8.1级地震是近50年来在我国大陆发生的震级最大、地表破裂最长的地震事件.地震地表破裂带全长426km,宽数米至数百米,总体走向90°～110°,具有明显的破裂分段特征,自西向东由5条次级破裂段组成.各破裂段又由若干更次级左阶或右阶斜列的破裂组成,具有自相似的分形结构特征.地震破裂带以左旋走滑为主,倾滑量很小.宏观震中区位于库赛湖东北93.0°～93.5°E一带的昆仑山南麓断层谷地内.最大地表同震左旋水平位移6.4m,最大垂直位移为4m.地表水平位移沿地震破裂带走向出现6个峰值,各峰值之间存在相对独立的衰减序列,这表明此地震具有多点破裂特征. 相似文献

斜向逆冲作用在自然界普遍存在,研究斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的构造几何学特征,识别断层相关褶皱是否存在斜向逆冲有重要意义。文章采用Trishear 4.5、Gocad以及Trishear3D软件构建一系列不同滑移量的断层转折褶皱和断层传播褶皱的二维正演剖面,通过连接一系列不同排列方式的二维剖面建立了三种不同逆冲滑移方向的断层转折褶皱和断层传播褶皱的假三维模型,通过不同假三维模型的比较分析来探讨斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的构造几何学特征。研究发现,斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱区别于正向逆冲断层相关褶皱的特征主要有两点：① 正向逆冲断层相关褶皱层面等高线图上的最高点与后翼等高线中点的连线以及水平切面上的核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与断层走向垂直,而斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱的最高点以及核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与断层走向斜交,并且最高点与后翼等高线中点的连线方向或者核心点与后翼中点的连线方向均与逆冲滑移方向一致;② 在褶皱平行断层走向纵剖面上,正向逆冲断层相关褶皱各个层面最高点的连线是直立的,而斜向逆冲断层相关褶皱各个层面最高点的连线发生倾斜。通过这两个特征可以判别褶皱是否存在斜向逆冲以及逆冲的方向。将模型分析结果运用到四川盆地西南部三维地震勘探资料所覆盖的邛西背斜和大兴西背斜的实例中。研究结果表明,两个背斜均存在右旋斜向逆冲,逆冲方向与各自断层走向的夹角均为70°左右,邛西背斜和大兴西背斜的逆冲方向分别是NE79°和NE77°左右,这与龙门山南段晚上新世以来的主应力方向以及反演的汶川地震最大主应力方向一致。 相似文献

On the morning of 15 November 1990 local time, Armidale and the area to the west of Armidale was shaken by a magnitude 3.2 earthquake. The epicentre was located at 30.39° S, 150.88° E and the depth of focus at 12 ± 7 km. As the epicentre was close to the Peel Fault an attempt was made to constrain the focal mechanism of this earthquake. The conventional method, which is based on the analysis of P wave polarities, was not applicable because the event was not strong enough. In an alternative method, the amplitudes of various seismic phases recorded at a number of stations well distributed in azimuth were compared with theoretical amplitudes calculated with the reflectivity method for a point shear dislocation in a layered medium. The differences between observed and calculated amplitudes were minimized as a function of fault strike, fault dip and direction of the slip vector. The analysis indicates that none of the possible fault planes had the strike of the Peel Fault. The solution suggests predominantly strike slip motion along two possible, steeply dipping fault planes. The inferred direction of the maximum compressional stress. is east‐west which is in good agreement with other estimates of the stress field for eastern Australia. 相似文献
