Focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes in Bolivia,South America     

A. Vega  E. Buforn 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1991,136(4):449-458

Intraplate seismic activity in Bolivia is mainly located in the central region (16°–19°S, 63°–67°W) which includes the East Andean Cordillera and the Sub-Andean Sierras. At this region there is a bend in the trend of the main geological structures from NW-SE in the north to N-S in the south. Focal mechanisms have been calculated for 10 earthquakes of magnitudes 4.9–5.6, using first motionP-waves from long period instruments. Their solutions correspond to reverse faulting, some with a large component of strike-slip motion. Their solutions can be grouped into two types; one with pure reverse faulting on planes with azimuth NW-SE and the other with a large strike-slip component on planes with azimuths nearly N-S or WNW-ESE. The maximum stress axis (P-axis) is practically horizontal (dipping less than 5°) oriented in a mean N56°E direction. This orientation may be related with the direction of compression resulting from the collision of the Nazca plate against the western margin of the South American continent. Wave-form analysis of long-periodP-waves for one event restricts the focal depth to 8 km in the Sub-Andean region. Seismic moments and source dimensions determined from spectra of Rayleigh waves are in the range of 10¹⁶–10¹⁷Nm and 17–24 km, respectively. The Central Bolivia region can be considered as a zone of intraplate deformation situated between the Bolivian Altiplano and the Brazil shield.  相似文献   

Intermediate and deep earthquakes in Spain     

E. Buforn  A. Udías  R. Madariaga 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1991,136(4):375-393

Recent improvements in the seismological networks on the Ibero-Maghrebian region have permitted estimation of hypocentral location and focal mechanisms for earthquakes which occurred at South Spain, Alboran Sea and northern Morocco of deep and intermediate depth, with magnitudes between 3.5 and 4.5. Intermediate depth shocks, range from 60 to 100 km, with greater concentration located between Granada and Málaga. Fault-plane solutions of 5 intermediate shocks have been determined; they present a vertical plane in NE-SW or E-W direction. Seismic moments of about 10¹⁵ Nm and dimensions of about 1 km have been determined from digital records of Spanish stations.P-wave forms are complex. This may be explained by the crustal structure near the station, discontinuities in the upper mantle and inhomogeneities near the source. Deep activity at about 650 km has only 3 shocks since 1954 (1954, 1973, 1990). Shocks are located at a very small region. Fault-plane solutions show a consistent direction of the pressure axis dipping 45° in E direction. For the 1990 shock seismic moment is 10¹⁶ Nm and dimensions 2.6 km. TheP-waves are of simpler form with a single pulse. The intermediate and deep activities are not connected and no activity has been detected between 100 and 650 km. The intermediate shocks may be explained in terms of a recent subduction from Africa under Iberia in SE direction. The very deep activity must be related to a sunk detached block of lithospheric material still sufficiently cold and rigid to generate earthquakes.  相似文献

某些矿物中同心层状鲕(豆)粒的自组织成因   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王江海 《矿物学报》1993,(2)

本文首先综述了矿物中同心层状鲕(豆)粒的基本特征,接着提出该鲕状结构的二阶段成因模式(早期胶团从沉积物中的快速形成和晚期胶团在自催化反馈机制的作用下的有序化)。最后,用自组织(耗散结掏) 理论和动力学分析方法揭示出如下结论:①自催化反馈机理是胶团中杂质元素的催化结晶;②胶团在有序化过程中能形成时-空有序的自组织结构即鲕粒同心层;③胶团中凝胶浓度和杂质元素浓度在相空间内为一极限环,定态胶团失稳后将沿着极限环闭轨演化并最终形成同心层状矿物鲕粒。寻找有序结构和自反馈机制是研究自组织结构的有效方法  相似文献

在前人研究及自己野外观察的基础上,本文把碳酸盐岩米级旋回层序归为四大类:深水非对称米级旋回层序、L-M米级旋回层序、潮下碳酸盐米级旋回层序、潮坪碳酸盐米级旋回层序。米级旋回层序的形成机制是与米兰柯维奇旋回有关的高频率海平面振荡变化旋回所形成的间断-加积旋回沉积作用,它们的识别标志主要是岩石类型、界面特征、产出环境等。碳酸盐岩米级旋回层序的规则的垂直叠加形式是识别三级旋回层序的基础。  相似文献   

海洋构造地球物理当前动态、前景及我们的发展方向     

夏戡原 《地球科学进展》1992,7(2):1-4

    海洋构造地球物理或构造物理学是海洋地球科学研究的前沿。它是构造地质学和地球物理学互相渗透、互相促进的一门很有前景的新兴边缘学科。80年代这一新兴学科有较明显的发展，90年代这一学科在板块运动、驱动机制的定量研究以及在巨型断裂、造山带与盆地形成机理等方面的研究将有重要的突破，我国在90年代应加强对南海这一西太平洋最大的边缘海的构造地球物理研究。  相似文献

雷州半岛地热场主要受基底构造格局的控制和地下水活动的影响,隐伏花岗岩体放射性元素生热对盖层地温的贡献不可忽视,第四纪更新世火山喷发活动的岩浆余热已几乎完全散失,岩浆体和围岩温度已趋于平衡。由火山喷发而形成的雷北螺岗岭和雷南石峁岭两个玄武岩台地,为半岛地下水的主要补给区,由于冷水流下渗的地温效应,新生界盖层浅部地温梯度<3℃/100m,呈现地热负异常。在以传导传热为主的区域,地热场特点与华北盆地相似,新生界盖层地温梯度与基底岩面的埋深密切相关。由于地壳深部较均一的热流在地壳表部再分配的结果,若干凸起区盖层地温梯度为4—5℃/100m,呈现地热正异常。某些控制凸起区的边界断裂,当深层热水沿其上涌,造成附加热源,和传导传热相叠加,盖层地温梯度可高达5—8℃/100m,形成更鲜明的地热正异常。  相似文献
