利用贝加尔湖地区GPS监测网测站坐标,根据边长尽量相等的原则,形成了11个Delaunay三角形,计算了各三角形的形状因子,结果表明有9个三角形的形状因子大于0.1。利用3期GPS观测结果,通过对位移速率和应变分量的分析,初步得到以下基本认识贝加尔湖地区目前整体上处于拉张状态,拉张速度约为4.5±1.2mm/a,拉张方向为NW-SE方向;地壳应变是不均匀的,应变分量存在区域上的差异性。东部和西部主张应变均为NW向,但主压应变方向表现不一致,监测网东西两端的应变大于中部地区,最大应变为5.4×10-8,最小应变为-2.6×10-8。贝加尔湖东南部地壳处于压缩状态,压缩方向为NNW向和NNE向;东西部剪切应变比中部大,东西部剪切应变方向基本一致,表现为近南北向;7个三角形的面应变计算结果显示地壳为膨胀状态,2个三角形显示为压缩状态。大地转动结果表明,东北部表现为顺时针的旋转,而西部地区和中部显示为逆时针的旋转。GPS揭示的应变结果与地质和地震学结果基本一致。  相似文献   

Use of archaeology to date liquefaction features and seismic events in the New Madrid seismic zone,Central United States

Prehistoric earthquake-induced liquefaction features occur in association with Native American occupation horizons in the New Madrid seismic zone. Age control of these liquefaction features, including sand-blow deposits, sand-blow craters, and sand dikes, can be accomplished by extensive sampling and flotation processing of datable materials as well as archaeobotanical analysis of associated archaeological horizons and pits. This approach increases both the amount of carbon for radiocarbon dating and the precision dating of artifact assemblages. Using this approach, we dated liquefaction features at four sites northwest of Blytheville, Arkansas, and found that at least one significant earthquake occurred in the New Madrid seismic zone between A.D. 1180 and 1400, probably about A.D. 1300 ± 100 yr. In addition, we found three buried sand blows that formed between 3340 B.C. and A.D. 780. In this region where very large to great earthquakes appear to be closely timed, archaeology is helping to develop a paleoearthquake chronology for the New Madrid seismic zone. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献
