We studied a sequence of small earthquakes that occurred during the months of April and May of 1997, in Jalisco, southwestern Mexico. The earthquakes were located along a set of active faults that form the Zacoalco half-graben (La Lima fault system), west of Lake Chapala, within the rift–rift–rift triple junction. A total of 33 events were located, with magnitudes ranging from 1.5 to 3.5, recorded by a portable array of broadband seismographs. We identified two groups of events: one corresponding to a shallow normal fault, synthetic to La Lima fault system, and another group associated with a deeper fault. The events that occurred on the synthetic fault show normal faulting oriented on a NW–SE plane, dipping shallowly towards the SW. The other group of mechanisms showed either a normal fault oriented NW–SE and dipping steeply to the NE, or a very shallow-dipping normal fault, dipping to the SW. Earthquake distribution and fault plane solutions suggest that the Zacoalco half-graben developed from blocks that rotate as slip occurs on listric faults. These mechanisms could represent the type of motion expected for larger earthquakes in the area, like the one that occurred in 1568.  相似文献   

Tectonic implications of the earthquake swarm of 1997 in the Michoacan Triangle, Mexico

An earthquake swarm occurred during February and March 1997 in the vicinity of the Tancitaro Volcano, in the southern part of the tectonically complex Michoacan Triangle. A study of these events provides an opportunity to map the active faults in the area and to learn if the orientation and the sense of motion on these faults are consistent with the mapped faults and the alignment of cinder cones in the region. The foci of 230 earthquakes, which could be located, are distributed between 10 and 18 km depth, and show an alignment in, roughly, a NE direction. The focal mechanisms and seismic moments of the 27 best-recorded events were determined by waveform modeling of P and S waves. These mechanisms show two distinct patterns. More than 50% of the solutions are left-lateral strike–slip mechanisms with a normal component. The preferred fault plane strikes NE. Another group of events, probably caused by triggered seismicity on the Chapala–Oaxaca fault zone, shows left-lateral strike–slip mechanisms with a large-thrust component on NW-trending faults. S wave splitting shows 1–2.5% crustal-anisotropy. The direction of the anisotropy coincides with the NE alignment of events, and the preferred nodal plane. This is also the alignment of cinder cones, suggesting that preexisting fractures and cracks are responsible for the seismicity and anisotropic behavior of the crust. The resulting stress orientation, NE compression, is the one expected for the fore-arc region. We conclude that although Michoacan Triangle lies in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, it does not form part of this stress province where the stress orientation is NS extension.  相似文献   

塔里木西部古生代层序地层特征   总被引：9，自引：3，他引：6  

陈国俊  肖立新 《沉积学报》1999,17(4):560-565

塔里木西部在古生代地质演化过程中,由于构造活动、海平面升降变化、沉积物供应速率等因素变化,造成了不同形式和不同级别的沉积间断,其产物---不整合面是建立该区层序地层格架的关键。研究区古生代大体经历了(寒武-奥陶纪)海进→(志留-泥盆纪)海退)→(石炭纪)海进→(二叠纪)海退的沉积旋回,形成了特征各异的层序序列。研究表明,其中Ⅰ级不整合面(层序面)有前震旦系顶界面、奥陶系顶界面和古生界顶界面。根据地面剖面、钻井和地震资料以及不整合面的特征和级别,首次在古生界识别出2个Ⅰ级层序、6个Ⅱ级层序和12个Ⅲ级层序。Ⅰ级层序是在不同的构造背景和沉积条件下形成的。Ⅱ级层序尽管特征各异,但一般均有四种基本叠置方式组成,即退积、进积、加积和上超。Ⅲ级层序一般由层序界面、海侵面和最大海泛面所限定的体系域组成,均发育TST和HST,有时出现SMST和LST。不同的体系域和沉积相控制着烃类生储盖层的分布,TST与生油层和储集层的形成有关,而HST多与盖层和储集层的形成有关。  相似文献

Two types of ELF hiss observed at Varanasi, India     

D. K. Singh  Ashok K. Singh  R. P. Patel  R. P. Singh  A. K. Singh 《Annales Geophysicae》1999,17(10):1260-1267

The morphology of ELF hiss events observed at low-latitude ground station Varanasi (L = 1.07, geomagnetic latitude 14°55′N) are reported, which consist of two types: (1) events which propagated in ducted mode along the geomagnetic field line corresponding to observing station Varanasi and (2) events which propagated in ducted mode along higher L-values (L = 4–6), after reaching the lower edge of ionosphere excite the Earth-ionosphere wave guide and propagate towards equator to be received at Varanasi. To understand the generation mechanism of ELF hiss, incoherent Cerenkov radiated power from the low latitude and middle latitude plasmasphere are evaluated. Considering this estimated power as an input for wave amplification through wave-particle interaction, the growth rate and amplification factor is evaluated which is too small to explain the observed wave intensity. It is suggested that some non-linear mechanism is responsible for the generation of ELF hiss.  相似文献

Delineation of geology of a part of bundelkhand complex around girar, distt. lalitpur, u.p., using remote sensing data     

G P Singh 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1999,27(1):1-8

An attempt is made to mark regional geology of part of Lalitpur district. The area is characterized by flat topography gently sloping east ward with isolated hillocks. The well contrasted lithology has been marked on the basis of variation in tone, drainage pattern and texture. The main lithounits are foliated granites/gneiss, banded iron formation, granites, ultra basic, quartz reef and basic dykes. The structural elements of lineaments are visible on aerial photos and imagery which range in length from 1 to 10 km. The lineaments at places intersect with each other. The major trends are NNW- SSE. NE- SW. NNH- SSW. These NNW- SSE and NE-SW lineaments are retlected by well aligned body of quartz- sericite schist and quartz reef respectively.  相似文献
