2008年5月12日汶川M_S8级地震的发生不是局部地区孤立的构造事件,研究汶川地震的孕震机制,应该把局部分析和区域分析相结合,关注地壳上地幔直至地幔过渡带的深部结构.基于近年来在东北、华北和汶川地震附近地区进行的深部结构电磁探测结果,结合地震学等其他资料,从太平洋板块的俯冲、印度板块的碰撞和松潘甘孜地块的推挤三个“层次”探讨分析汶川特大地震的成因.太平洋板块向亚洲大陆的俯冲作用,导致中国大陆东部地幔过渡带深度较普遍地存在着停滞的板片,它对汶川地震的影响不可忽视.印度板块与青藏高原的碰撞,使组成高原的各地块发生向北和向东的运动,各地块向东的运动作用于南北地震带中南段,影响到该区域的地震活动.松潘甘孜地块向四川地块的推挤,使松潘甘孜地块运动方向和龙门山断裂带形成“丁”字形结构,龙门山断裂带显示为较陡直的电性边界,加剧了汶川地震前的应力积累,可能是汶川地震发生的最直接的诱因.  相似文献

汶川MS8.0地震发生在青藏高原东缘著名的龙门山断裂带上,造成了从映秀、北川至南坝长约240km的同震地表破裂带．然而目前关于龙门山断裂带的大震复发特征研究较少．通过地震地质科学考察和断层断错地貌的差分GPS测量,发现第一级河流阶地、河床和河漫滩上的垂直断距大致相当,均代表汶川地震的位错,而第二级河流阶地上的累计位移大致是最新地震垂直位移的2倍．利用断错地貌、地震矩率和滑动速率3种方法,分别估算了龙门山断裂带大地震的复发间隔．结果表明:龙门山断裂带中北段可能发生与汶川大地震相当的地震,大震复发符合特征地震模型;大震复发间隔为3000——6000a．该结果可为龙门山断裂带的大震预测和地震危险性评价等研究提供重要的定量数据．   相似文献

以所建立的川滇地区主要活动块体及其周边断裂带的模型和前期利用GPS及水准资料反演所得到的断裂带长期运动速率作为基础,将汶川地震引起的同震错动量加入到三维断裂几何模型中,计算出汶川地震大范围的同震形变场,然后基于该同震形变场和活动断裂三维几何模型反演了各条断裂对该同震形变场的反映,并通过与各断裂带长期运动速率对比,得到了汶川地震对川滇地区各主要活动断裂带发震趋势的影响．结果表明,在汶川地震引起的同震形变场作用下,在川滇交界东部地区,龙门山断裂带南西段地震危险性提前了305a,鲜水河断裂带南东段大致提前了19a,安宁河断裂带和则木河断裂带分别提前了21a和12a,大凉山断裂带北段和南段分别提前了9.1a和18a,马边断裂带的地震危险性则提前了51a;对川滇交界西部的丽江——小金河断裂带南西段、怒江断裂带、龙陵——澜沧断裂带、南汀河断裂带、中甸断裂带等断裂带地震的能量积累也有促进作用;相反在鲜水河断裂带北西段、小江断裂带等历史地震频发的断裂带上,地震危险性具有一定的减速作用．   相似文献   

区域优势构造面和余震节面库仑应力变化相关性与地震预测意义.     

陈兵  崔笃信  张晓亮  王庆良 《地震学报》2009,31(4):357-366

根据2001年昆仑山口西8.1级地震震源机制,计算了主震破裂在区域优势直立走滑构造面上引起的库仑应力变化,发现3级以上余震大部分分布在库仑应力变化为正的区段,与应力的正相关性为56%——71%;5级余震与应力的正相关性达到60%——80%．5级余震节面上库仑应力变化的正相关性为60%——80%,其效果与优势构造面具有等价性．表明应用库仑应力函数方法分析区域优势构造面应力变化,可能是判断未来地震活动发生地点的一条有效途径．其物理机制可能源于地壳应变主体单元中区域应变能与单元中包含的不同尺度断层面上应力分布的正相关性．亦即主破裂造成沿区域优势构造产生应力的不均匀分布,应力的非均匀性引起区域应变能的非均匀分布,在应变能升高的区段,某些次生断裂面应力随之升高,从而引发余震活动．   相似文献   

The role of strong motion rotations in the response of structures near earthquake faults     

Mihailo D. Trifunac 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2009

Early studies of earthquake strong motion assumed linear materials and small deformations. It was observed that under favorable conditions (long waves), the accompanying rotational motions are usually small, and so their effects could be neglected. In 1932, when Biot opted for the vibrational method of solution of the dynamic response problems [Trifunac MD. 75th anniversary of the response spectrum method—a historical review. Soil Dyn Earthquake Eng 2008 [in press].] in his formulation of the response spectrum concept, his choice of the discrete mathematical models of buildings further led to the conditions that did not explicitly require consideration of the rotations [Trifunac MD. Buildings as sources of rotational waves, Chapter I.5. In: Teisseyre R, Nagahama H, Majewski E, editors. Physics of asymmetric continua: extreme and fracture processes. Heidelberg, Germany: Springer; 2008 [in press].]. The engineering profession was not prepared in the 1930s and 1940s for Biot's new theory and first had to learn the basic dynamics of structures before it could question the wisdom and consequences of the vibrational versus the wave-propagation approaches to the solution. Also, there were too many other concerns, often caused by the modeling simplifications, that pushed the studies of the rotational motion further down to the low levels of priority. Even today, 40 years after the arrival of digital computers and the emergence of powerful numerical computational capabilities, which uncovered unexpectedly large families of chaotic solutions accompanying large deformations, as well as nonlinear response [Trifunac MD. Nonlinear problems in earthquake engineering. In: Springer's encyclopedia of complexity and system science, 2008 [in press] [94].], most researchers continue to ignore the role of rotations. Had Biot chosen the wave-propagation approach for the solution of the earthquake engineering problems in 1932, the “progress” might have been faster. The wave representation can be differentiated with respect to a space coordinate, giving the rotations at a point directly. In contrast, the lumped-mass models in the vibrational approach do not make this possible, and the closest one can come to considering rotations is in terms of average, per-floor rotation, or drift.  相似文献

首先应用1999-2007年的GPS观测资料分析海原断裂带的运动特征,看出期间该断裂带GPS站点运动速度由南向北逐渐衰减,在NWW和NE走向断层两盘的运动差异较为明显,断层的活动以走滑运动为主.然后依据地质、地球物理等资料给出反演参数初值,利用水平形变资料对断裂三段的走滑速率及断层下界深度进行反演.结果为从西到东断裂带各段走滑速率分别为8.25 mm/a、5.49 mm/a和5.97 mm/a,断层底部深度依次为22.8 km;13.3 km;11.1 km.综合分析认为毛毛山-老虎山断裂运动速度明显高于海原断裂速度,在速度变化梯度较大的毛毛山断裂存在6级以上地震空区,推测具有发生强震的危险性.  相似文献

Deep tectonic setting of the 2008 Wenchuan <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript>s</Subscript>8.0 earthquake in southwestern China

Teleseismic P-wave receiver functions at 20 broadband seismic stations in the Longmenshan fault zone (LMFZ) and its vicinity were extracted, and the crustal thickness and the P- and S-wave velocity ratio were calculated by use of the H-k stacking algorithm. With the results as constraints, the S-wave velocity structures beneath each station were determined by the inversion of receiver functions. The crustal structure of the Rear-range zone is similar to that of the Songpan-Garze Block, whereas the velocity structure of the Fore-range zone resembles that of Sichuan Basin, implying that the Central Principal Fault of LMFZ is the boundary between the eastern Tibetan Plateau and the Yangtze Block. Lower velocity zone exists in lower crust of the Songpan-Garze Block and the central-southern segment of the Rear-range zone, which facilitates the detachment of the material in upper and middle crust. Joint analysis of the receiver functions and the Bouguer gravity anomalies supports the thesis on the detachment-thrust mode of the LMFZ. A double-detachment pattern is suggested to the tectonic setting in the Songpan-Garze Block. The upper detachment occurs at the depth of 10-15 km, and represents a high-temperature ductile shear zone. There is a lower detachment at the depth of about 30 km, below which the lower crust flow exists in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Interpretation of the Bouguer gravity anomalies indicates that the Sichuan Basin is of higher density in upper and middle crust in comparison with that of the Songpan-Garze Block. The LMFZ with higher density is the result from the thrusting of the Songpan-Garze Block over the Sichuan Basin. In the lower crust, higher P velocity and higher density in the Sichuan Basin are related to more rigid material, while lower S velocity and lower density in the Songpan-Garze Block are related to the softened and weakened material. The higher density block beneath the Sichuan Basin obstructs the eastward flow of lower crustal material from the Tibetan Plateau, which is driven by the compression of northward movement of Indian Plate. The eastward movement of upper and middle crustal material is also obstructed by the rigid Yangtze Block, resulting in the stress concentrated and accumulated along the LMFZ. When the stress releases sharply, the Wenchuan M _s8.0 earthquake occurs.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Longmenshan fault belt   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

WANG ErChie 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2009,52(5):579-592

The giant earthquake (M _s=8.0) in Wenchuan on May 12, 2008 was triggered by oblique convergence between the Tibetan Plateau and the South China along the Longmenshan fault belt. The Longmenshan fault belt marks an important component of the tectonic and geomorphological boundary between the eastern and western part of China and has a protracted tectonic history. It was first formed as an intracontinental transfer fault, patitioning the differential deformation between the Pacific and Tethys tectonic domains, initiated in late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic time, then served as the eastern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau to accommodate the growth of the plateau in Cenozoic. Its current geological and geomorphological frameworks are the result of superimposition of these two tectonic events. In Late Triassic, the Longmenshan underwent left-slip oblique NW-SE shortening due to the clockwise rotation of the Yangtze Block, which led to the flexural subsidence of the Sichuan foreland basin, but after that, the subsidence of the Sichuan Basin seems no longer controlled by the tectonic activity of the Longmenshan fault belt. The Meosozoic tectonic evolution of the Songpan-Ganzi fold belt differs significantly compared with that of the Yangtze Platform, featured by intensive northeast and southwest shortening and resulted in the close of the Paleo-Tethys. Aerial photos taken immediately after main shock of the giant May 12, 2008 earthquake have documented extensive rock fall and landslides that represent one of the most destructive aspects of the earthquake. Both rock avalanches and landslides delivered a huge volume of debris into the middle part of the Minjiang River, and formed many dammed lakes. Breaching of these natural dams can be catastrophic, as occurred in the Diexi area along the upstream of the Minjiang River in the year of 1933 that led to devastating floodings. The resultant flood following the breaching of these dams flowed through and out of the Longmenshan belt into the Chengdu Plain, bringing a huge volume of sediments. The oldest alluvial deposits within the Chengdu Plain are estimated to be Late Miocene (8–13 Ma). We suggest that the flooding that transported the course-grained sediments into the Chengdu Plain occurred in late Cenozoic, resulted from both the climate and the historical earthquakes similar to the May 12 earthquake. Estimated age of the sediments related to earthquakes and coeval shortening across the Chengdu Plain indicate that the eastern margin of the plateau became seismically and tectonically active in Late Miocene.
