The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a major intraplate earthquake with M w 7.9, occurred on the slowly deforming Longmenshan fault. To better understand the causes of this devastating earthquake, we need knowledge of the regional stress field and the underlying geodynamic processes. Here, we determine focal mechanism solutions (FMSs) of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake sequence (WES) using both P-wave first-motion polarity data and SH/P amplitude ratio (AR) data. As P-wave polarities are more reliable information, they are given priority over SH/P AR, the latter of which are used only when the former has loose constraint on the FMSs. We collect data from three categories: (1) permanent stations deployed by the China Earthquake Administration (CEA); (2) the Western Sichuan Passive Seismic Array (WSPSA) deployed by Institute of Geology, CEA; (3) global stations from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology. Finally, 129 events with magnitude over M s 4.0 in the 2008 WES are identified to have well-constrained FMSs. Among them, 83 are well constrained by P-wave polarities only as shown by Cai et al. (Earthq Sci 24(1):115–125, 2011), and the rest of which are newly constrained by incorporating SH/P AR. Based on the spatial distribution and FMSs of the WES, we draw following conclusions: (1) the principle compressional directions of most FMSs of the WES are subhorizontal, generally in agreement with the conclusion given by Cai et al. (2011) but with a few modifications that the compressional directions are WNW–ESE around Wenchuan and ENE–WSW around Qingchuan, respectively. The subhorizontal compressional direction along the Longmenshan fault from SW to NE seems to have a left-lateral rotation, which agrees well with regional stress field inverted by former researchers (e.g., Xu et al., Acta Seismol Sin 30(5), 1987; Acta Geophys Sin 32(6), 1989; Cui et al., Seismol Geol 27(2):234–242, 2005); (2) the FMSs of the events not only reflected the regional stress state of the Longmenshan region, but also were obviously controlled by the faults to some extent, which was pointed out by Cai et al. (2011) and Yi et al. (Chin J Geophys 55(4):1213–1227, 2012); (3) while the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and some of its strong aftershocks released most of the elastic energy accumulated on the Longmenshan fault, some other aftershocks seem to occur just for releasing the elastic energy promptly created by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and some of its strong aftershocks. (4) Our results further suggest that the Longmenshan fault from Wenchuan to Beichuan was nearly fully destroyed by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and accordingly propose that there is less probability for great earthquakes in the middle part of the Longmenshan fault in the near future, although there might be a barrier to the southwest of Wenchuan and it is needed to pay some attention on it in the near future.  相似文献

龙门山断裂带精细速度结构的双差层析成像研究   总被引:10,自引:11,他引:10       下载免费PDF全文
利用川西流动地震台阵、汶川地震震后应急台网记录到的P波到时资料,对2008年5月至2008年10月期间发生的汶川地震余震序列应用双差层析成像方法进行了地震震源和三维P波速度结构的联合反演.结果显示,联合反演获得的地震重定位结果与基于一维地壳参考模型的双差定位方法结果相近;研究区15 km以上速度结构与地表断裂分布密切相关,20 km以下深度呈现北东向和北西向交错结构.汶川地震破裂带南段龙门山断裂带之间上地壳呈现高速异常,速度结构的非均匀变化是控制余震分布和主震破裂传播的主要因素;联合反演结果给出了小鱼洞-理县方向存在隐伏断裂的速度结构证据,同时发现,破裂带北东段可能沿新发断裂扩展;结果确认了汶川地震起始段的高角度逆冲断裂特征,也确认了前山断裂和中央断裂在约20 km深度合并到脆韧转换带的特征.  相似文献

本文采用理论震源机制解的分析方法,以汶川地震序列震源机制解为约束,探讨龙门山地区构造变形模式及其与汶川地震序列的关系.通过有限元模拟,计算了龙门山地区不同构造变形模式下的构造应力场,得到了理论震源机制解,并与汶川地震序列实际震源机制解进行对比分析,初步探讨了该区构造变形模式对汶川地震序列的影响.结果显示,在龙门山地区,青藏高原内深部构造变形快于地表的构造变形模式下,区域构造应力场对应的理论震源机制解与汶川地震序列震源机制解的相符程度较高.这种一致性可能表明:(1)青藏高原内部深部构造变形快于地表,是龙门山地区比较合理的构造模式;(2)构造应力场是影响汶川地震序列震源机制的重要力学因素.  相似文献

汶川地震余震序列的地震各向异性   总被引:35,自引:17,他引:18       下载免费PDF全文
利用2008年5月12日汶川地震震源区及周边地震台站记录的余震序列资料,使用剪切波分裂系统分析法,分析了汶川地震发震构造龙门山断裂带及周边地区的地壳各向异性特征,推断了地壳最大主压应力方向及空间分布特征.研究结果表明:大致以安县为界,位于龙门山北东段的台站快剪切波的偏振方向为北东向,与断裂带走向一致;而位于龙门山西南段的台站快剪切波的偏振方向为北西向,与断裂带走向垂直;这个特征同样揭示出龙门山断裂带西南段逆冲、北东段带有明显走滑性质的特征.研究还显示,靠近龙门山与鲜水河、安宁河小江断裂交汇区附近的台站快剪切波的偏振方向表现比较离散,这可能是由震源区局部的复杂地质构造引起,与该地区复杂的主压应力方向特点一致.  相似文献

The seismicity of Longmenshan fault zone and its vicinities before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake is studied. Based on the digital seismic waveform data observed from regional seismic networks and mobile stations, the focal mechanism solutions are determined. Our analysis results show that the seismicities of Longmenshan fault zone before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake were in stable state. No obvious phenomena of seismic activity intensifying appeared. According to focal mechanism solutions of some small earthquakes before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the direction of principal compressive stress P-axis is WNW-ESE. The two hypocenter fault planes are NE-striking and NW-striking. The plane of NE direction is among N50°?70°E, the dip angles of fault planes are 60°?70° and it is very steep. The faultings of most earthquakes are dominantly characterized by dip-slip reverse and small part of faultings present strike-slip. The azimuths of principal compressive stress, the strikes of source fault planes and the dislocation types calculated from some small earthquakes before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake are in accordance with that of the main shock. The average stress field of micro-rupture along the Longmenshan fault zone before the great earthquake is also consistent with that calculated from main shock. Zipingpu dam is located in the east side 20 km from the initial rupture area of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The activity increment of small earthquakes in the Zipingpu dam is in the period of water discharging. The source parameter results of the small earthquakes which occurred near the initial rupture area of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake indicate that the focal depths are 5 to 14 km and the source parameters are identical with that of earthquake.  相似文献

龙门山断裂带地壳精细结构与汶川地震发震机理   总被引:40,自引:16,他引:24       下载免费PDF全文
利用2001年1月至2008年6月四川固定地震台网和临时地震台站记录到的大量P波到时资料,反演了龙门山断裂带及周边地区的地壳精细三维P波速度模型. 结果表明,汶川主震以北和以南地区的结构存在较大差异,以北地区的龙门山断裂带具有很强地壳不均匀性,这与该区发生了大量汶川地震的余震相一致. 这些结果有意义地改进了前人对龙门山断裂带仅为不同块体过渡带的认识. 汶川主震震源区下方存在有明显低波速异常体,表明流体可能存在于龙门山断裂带内. 这些流体可能直接影响汶川大震的形成. 本文的成像结果为下地壳流沿龙门山断裂带上浸提供了可靠的地震学证据.  相似文献

Based on abundant aftershock sequence data of the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake on May 12, 2008, we studied the spatio-temporal variation process and segmentation rupture characteristic. Dense aftershocks distribute along Longmenshan central fault zone of NE direction and form a narrow strip with the length of 325 km and the depth between several and 40 km. The depth profile (section of NW direction) vertical to the strike of aftershock zone (NE direction) shows anisomerous wedgy distribution characteristic of aftershock concentrated regions; it is related to the force form of the Longmenshan nappe tectonic belt. The stronger aftershocks could be divided into northern segment and southern segment apparently and the focal depths of strong aftershocks in the 50 km area between northern segment and southern segment are shallower. It seems like 'to be going to rupture' segment. We also study focal mechanisms and segmentation of strong aftershocks. The principal compressive stress azimuth of aftershock area is WNW direction and the faulting types of aftershocks at southern and northern segment have the same proportion. Because aftershocks distribute on different secondary faults, their focal mechanisms present complex local tectonic stress field. The faulting of seven strong earthquakes on the Longmenshan central fault is mainly characterized by thrust with the component of right-lateral strike-slip. Meantime six strong aftershocks on the Longmenshan back-range fault and Qingchuan fault present strike-slip faulting. At last we discuss the complex segmentation rupture mechanism of the Wenchuan earthquake.  相似文献

对汶川MS8.0地震震中周围17个台站的地电阻率观测资料进行了处理. 以2007年的地电阻率观测数据为背景值, 计算出每一个台站NS和EW 两个测向2008年的地电阻率月均值相对变化的绝对值, 然后选择较大的值作为当月的相对变化值. 最终获得了汶川地震前5个月的地电阻率异常变化图像. 结果表明, 随着发震时间的临近, 地电阻率异常分布的范围逐渐缩小, 并最终集中分布在汶川地震震中附近; 在临近发震时间(2008年3, 4月), 地电阻率异常分布的长轴方向与汶川MS8.0地震的破裂方向、 龙门山断裂带走向或地震烈度分布的长轴方向几乎垂直, 而与其震源机制解的主压应力轴方向基本一致.   相似文献

We relocated M8.0 Wenchuan earthquake and 2706 aftershocks with M⩾2.0 using double-difference algorithm and obtained relocations of 2553 events. To reduce the influence of lateral variation in crustal and upper mantle velocity structure, we used different velocity models for the east and west side of Longmenshan fault zone. In the relocation process, we added seismic data from portable seismic stations close to the shocks to constrain focal depths. The precisions in E-W, N-S, and U-D directions after relocation are 0.6, 0.7, and 2.5 km respectively. The relocation results show that the aftershock epi-centers of Wenchuan earthquake were distributed in NE-SW direction, with a total length of about 330 km. The aftershocks were concentrated on the west side of the central fault of Longmenshan fault zone, excluding those on the north of Qingchuan, which obviously deviated from the surface fault and passed through Pingwu-Qingchuan fault in the north. The dominant focal depths of the aftershocks are between 5 and 20 km, the average depth is 13.3 km, and the depth of the relocated main shock is 16.0 km. The depth profile reveals that focal depth distribution in some of the areas is characterized by high-angle westward dipping. The rupture mode of the main shock features reverse faulting in the south, with a large strike-slip component in the north.

研究了2008年5月12日汶川8.0级地震前龙门山断裂带及其附近地区的地震活动.利用区域地震台网和流动测震台的数字地震波资料,测定了震源机制解.结果表明,震中所在的龙门山断裂带震前地震活动平稳,未出现显著异常增强或平静现象.根据汶川8.0级地震前地震活动求出的震源机制解,其主压应力P轴方位为WNE——ESE向,震源断层面呈NE向与NW 向两组节面走向.其中NE向节面呈N50deg;——70deg;E,断面倾角均陡,达60deg;——70deg;,震源力学作用方式多呈逆倾型,少部分呈走滑型.震前地震活动呈现的主压应力方位、震源断面走向及其错动类型,与汶川8.0级地震给出的解是一致的.巨大地震发生前沿龙门山断裂带微破裂呈现的平均应力场与主震一致.起始破裂区东侧20km内是紫坪铺水库水域区,这一区域发生小震活动增加的现象处于水库放水的卸载阶段.本文研究了汶川8.0级地震起始破裂区附近的小震活动,其震源参数表明,震源位于8.0级地震之上的5——14km深度,其震源参数与8.0级地震给出的解也是一致的.   相似文献

选取了汶川地震主震后的2008年5月12日——2009年8月31日, 震级为3.0le;MSle;5.0的余震4240次.利用波形互相关方法得到其P波到时,用双差定位方法对其进行定位,最终得到了2441次重新定位的结果.统计定位误差(两倍标准偏差)在E-W方向为0.4 km,N-S方向为0.4 km,垂直方向为0.7 km.定位结果表明,汶川地震的余震深度集中在10——20 km,震中分布与龙门山中央断裂带的走向关系密切.沿龙门山断裂的地震分布具有明显的分段性,西南段呈水平带状分布,东北段接近垂直分布,且在北川附近存在深度突变.这与龙门山断裂的地震在西南段多表现为逆冲,东北段多表现为走滑的现象相吻合.在深度剖面上地震的空间分布存在分立的特征,通过对比前人在此地区浅层的地震剖面资料, 发现地震空间分布与已探知的浅部断层有较好的对应关系.   相似文献

2008年2—4月,位于汶川大震初始破裂点的紫坪铺水库附近发生了一系列的小震活动,它们与汶川地震和紫坪铺水库小震的关系值得研究。本文采用CAP方法,反演了紫坪铺水库7个专用数字地震台站的数据,得到震级大于ML 1.0的28个震源机制解。结果表明:有19个地震事件集中在紫坪铺水库东南方向的都江堰附近,最大地震为逆冲型,发震机制为逆冲型带走滑分量,少量带正断层分量;从深度剖面看,地震震源深度主要集中分布在地下13km附近区域,都江堰震群丛集在前山断裂带上,其它地震散布在中央断裂带上;发震最大主压应力方向随时间的变化具有从最大主压应力方向变化比较大到趋向一致的演化过程。这些现象说明龙门山断裂带在都江堰附近存在1个凸凹体,形成应力集中点,引发都江堰震群活动,由此迫使龙门山断裂带前山断裂发生逆冲性活动,从而加剧了龙门山断裂带中央断裂的活动,在一定程度上加速了汶川地震的发生。  相似文献

汶川MS8.0级地震的发震构造为龙门山断裂带,地震地表破裂主要分布在其中的北川-映秀断裂和江油-灌县断裂上,尤其是沿前者发育了长达240 km左右的地表破裂带.通过对龙门山断裂带震后断层擦痕的测量,得到311条断层擦痕数据,利用由断层滑动资料反演构造应力张量的计算方法,得到研究区8个测点的构造应力张量数据,并获得了研究区构造应力场特征:区域现代构造应力场以近水平挤压为主,最大主应力方向(σ1)为76°~121°,平均倾角9°,应力结构以逆断型为主.受构造应力场及断层几何特征的影响,地表破裂呈现出分段性:映秀—北川段主要以NW盘逆冲为主,垂直位移明显;北川以北段为逆冲兼走滑,水平位移量与垂直位移量基本相当,或水平位移略大.  相似文献

为剖析2008年汶川MS8.0地震对后期地震的影响及发震区域构造应力场特征,首先利用2008年5月12日—2013年4月19日汶川地震及其邻区的1660条震源机制解,同时采用同一地震多个震源机制中心解的方法筛去重复地震事件的震源机制解,最终获得911个震源机制解。其次,通过网格搜索法分段反演出区域构造应力场。结果显示:东北区主要受WNW-ESE向的挤压,西南区受W-E向的挤压,中区受WSW-ENE向的挤压。西南到东北主压应力轴方向有所变化,这可能与龙门山地区受到来自印度板块北北东方向的俯冲推挤、四川盆地的阻挡和巴颜喀拉块体东南向挤压的联合作用有关。然后,基于USGS给出的汶川MS8.0地震的破裂模型,计算出该地震对附近强震的触发关系,结果表明,本次汶川地震对同属龙门山断裂西南端的芦山地震触发作用明显,对位于东昆仑断裂上的玛多地震也有一定的触发作用。最后,计算汶川MS8.0地震对周围断层的同震库仑应力变化,发现本次地震造成龙门山断裂南北两端、秦岭南缘断裂、鲜水河断裂东南端、东昆仑断裂、白玉断裂的库仑破裂应力增加,龙门山断裂南北两端和秦岭南缘断裂增加最为明显,对分析地震危险性有一定的参考意义。   相似文献

本文循着汶川8级地震的发生与发展过程,结合长期积累的基础工作,对该地震及其必然性做出了解读性认识。认为东、西非正向对挤对剪格局的形成,构造解缚活化,对剪破裂,是该地震发生的根本。即地震发生于早期具有深成、分划而又具推覆右旋性的“龙门山”大边界构造,也即“南北带”大边界构造的中段上。“新构造运动”时期以来,由于应力作用方式的转变,由正向于构造带的北西向转为东西向,以及介质硬化和脆性破裂的取舍而形成了“岷山-龙门山联合前缘断块”,在东、西对峙的块体非正向的对剪作用下,构造解缚,断块活化,右旋活动加剧,长期积累的应变因对剪性破裂,突然释放而发生地震。是构造条件与应力作用方式适合条件的有机统一;还进一步认为,在这一机制中,东侧块体的让位性运动与“不均衡”作用及其深源控制应是主导,相应西侧“联合断块”沿滑脱面或薄弱界面作对剪性“弹性回跳”破裂而引发地震的机理与解释更为合理。这既符合地震发生的基本事实,体现了中国“南北地震带”的本色,也解释了岷山-龙门山一线在地质构造与地震活动间的紧密联系、不可分割的关系,为对该区地震活动机理的认识以及地震监测工作,提供战略性依据。而“对剪”、“回跳”破裂机制又具有普遍指导意义,且在“南北带”的两端有对称性。更可慰的是,这一地震为揭开地震活动之谜提供了一个好的“范例”。如能及早将这些基本认识和思路付诸于事件发生之前,对这一大震的潜在危险做出评估不是不可能的。看来在地震监测已进入现代化的今天,重点的基础评价工作,尤以多观点的。碰撞”仍不可少缺,本文又是讨论性的尝试。  相似文献

选取华北地区中部2008年1月至2012年12月741次地震事件的波形文件,读取P波初动极性以及P、S波震相到时.利用波形互相关技术,精确计算地震对到时差,结合读取出的震相到时数据,采用双差定位法,对这些地震进行了重新定位,获得了468个地震的精确重定位结果.相比于初始结果,精定位结果在平面分布上更为集中,沿断裂带分布特征更明显;深度也更为合理.在新河断裂附近,存在明显的地震集中条带,整体走向约为北偏东35°,通过剖面分析,发现该断裂倾角很高.依据地震精定位获取P波射线参数,利用P波初动极性,采用改进的格点尝试法,计算了区内单个地震震源机制解及小震综合断层面解,并结合已有的应力数据,综合分析了区内构造应力环境.结果表明,华北地区中部现今构造应力场保持稳定,为最大主应力轴北东东一南西西向,最小主应力轴北北西-南南东向的走滑型应力状态.  相似文献

龙门山断裂带北段南坝地区上地壳S波分裂特征   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
基于汶川科钻4号井孔(WFSD-4)附近的较小尺度的南坝微震台阵以及较大尺度的川西流动台站和区域台网的固定台站记录到的近震波形资料,通过横波窗内的S波分裂计算,分析了龙门山断裂带北段南坝地区的上地壳介质各向异性特征,并对区域应力场及构造特征展开讨论.S波分裂计算的结果显示研究区快波偏振方向主要表现为NE-NEE向,与北川断裂的走向一致,也与区域主压应力方向一致.小尺度密集分布的南坝微震台阵的计算结果进一步显示,靠近北川断裂的台站,其快波偏振方向与断裂走向一致,而距北川断裂较远的西北部台站的快波偏振方向与断裂走向不一致,反映了上地壳各向异性特征与地表的活动断裂结构密切相关.从南坝微震台阵的归一化时间延迟随时间的变化情况可以发现,在一个震中位于台阵布设范围内的地震事件发生前后,时间延迟有明显的变化,表明时间延迟随时间变化较为敏感,地震的能量影响了介质的性质.对比龙门山断裂带中段的科钻3号井孔周边地区的S波分裂计算结果,归一化时间延迟与本文结果一致,表明龙门山断裂带中段和北段的上地壳介质各向异性强度基本相同.  相似文献
