A 3-D P -velocity map of the crust and upper mantle beneath the southeastern part of India has been reconstructed through the inversion of teleseismic traveltimes. Salient geological features in the study region include the Archean Dharwar Craton and Eastern Ghat metamorphic belt (EGMB), and the Proterozoic Cuddapah and Godavari basins. The Krishna–Godavari basin, on the eastern coastal margin, evolved in response to the Indo–Antarctica breakup. A 24-station temporary network provided 1161 traveltimes, which were used to model 3-D P -velocity variation. The velocity model accounts of 80 per cent of the observed data variance. The velocity picture to a depth of 120 km shows two patterns: a high velocity beneath the interior domain (Dharwar craton and Cuddapah basin), and a lower velocity beneath the eastern margin region (EGMB and coastal basin). Across the array velocity variations of 7–10 per cent in the crust (0–40 km) and 3–5 per cent in the uppermost mantle (40–120 km) are observed. At deeper levels (120–210 km) the upper-mantle velocity differences are insignificant among different geological units. The presence of such a low velocity along the eastern margin suggests significantly thin lithosphere (<100 km) beneath it compared to a thick lithosphere (>200 km) beneath the eastern Dharwar craton. Such lithospheric thinning could be a consequence of Indo–Antarctica break-up. 相似文献

What triggers Koyna region earthquakes? Preliminary results from seismic tomography digital array 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
S. S. Rai Sunil K. Singh P. V. S. S. Rajagopal Sarma D. Srinagesh K. N. S. Reddy K. S. Prakasam Y. Satyanarayana 《Journal of Earth System Science》1999,108(1):1-14
The cause for prolific seismicity in the Koyna region is a geological enigma. Attempts have been made to link occurrence of
these earthquakes with tectonic strain as well as the nearby reservoirs. With a view to providing reliable seismological database
for studying the earth structure and the earthquake process in the Koyna region, a state of the art digital seismic network
was deployed for twenty months during 1996–97. We present preliminary results from this experiment covering an area of 60
× 80 km2 with twenty seismic stations. Hypocentral locations of more than 400 earthquakes confined to 11×25 km2 reveal fragmentation in the seismicity pattern — a NE — SW segment has a dip towards NW at approximately 45°, whilst the
other two segments show a near vertical trend. These seismic segments have a close linkage with the Western Ghat escarpment
and the Warna fault. Ninety per cent of the seismicity is confined within the depth range of 3–10 km. The depth distribution
of earthquakes delimits the seismogenic zone with its base at 10 km indicating a transition from an unstable to stable frictional
sliding regime. The lack of shallow seismicity between 0 and 3 km indicates a mature fault system with well-developed gouge
zones, which inhibit shallow earthquake nucleation. Local earthquake travel time inversion for P- and S-waves show ≈ 2% higher
velocity in the seismogenic crust (0–10 km) beneath the epicentral tract relative to a lower velocity (2–3%) in the adjoining
region. The high P- and S-wave velocity in the seismogenic crust argues against the presence of high pressure fluid zones
and suggests its possible linkage with denser lithology. The zone of high velocity has been traced to deeper depths (≈ 70
km) through teleseismic tomography. The results reveal segmented and matured seismogenic fault systems in the Koyna region
where seismicity is possibly controlled by strain build up due to competent lithology in the seismic zone with a deep crustal
root. 相似文献

Pibal ascents were taken every three hours at a coastal station, Sriharikota (India) on the east coast in four different campaigns each representing a season in India. A diurnal pattern of winds in the PBL winds was found in all seasons but the pattern varies from season to season. The details are described and discussed. 相似文献

Source parameters and scaling relations for small earthquakes in Kumaon Himalaya, India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We investigate the scaling relationships among earthquake source parameters using more than 300 good quality broad band seismograms from 30 small earthquakes in the Kumaon Himalaya from the spectral analysis of P and S waves. The average ratio of P/S wave corner frequency is found to be 1.13, which is suggestive of shift in the corner frequency. The estimated seismic moment range from 1.6?×?1013–5.8?×?1015 N?m, while the stress drop varies from 0.6 to 16 bars with 80 % of the events below 10 bars. An analysis of stress drop and apparent stress drop indicates the partial stress drop mechanism in the region. The source radii are between 0.17 and 0.88 km. The total seismic energy varies from 1.79?×?108 to 7.30?×?1011 J. We also observe the variation in seismic energy for a given seismic moment. The scaling relation between the seismic moment and stress drop suggests the breakdown of constant stress drop scaling for the range of seismic moments obtained here for the region. This shows the anomalous behavior of small earthquakes in the region. The study indicates that the stress drop is the dominant scaling factor for the moments studied here. 相似文献

The lakes of the Himalaya are degrading due to increase in toxic heavy metal loading. This study reports the last 50-year heavy metal pollution loading in the Rewalsar Lake, Himachal Pradesh, India. Sediment cores were recovered to study the pollution loading in the lake sediments. The 137Cs and 210Pb isotope-based sedimentation rate suggest rapid sedimentation in the lake during the last ~50 years. The concentrations of Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Co, Ni, Cr metals in the lake sediments owe its contributions both to the natural and anthropogenic sources. Prior to ca 1990 AD, metal loading was dominated by the lithogenic input, whereas post ca 1990 AD the metal loading was controlled by the anthropogenic factors. The Pb concentration in the lake gradually increased during 1990–2004 and then decreased significantly till present. The higher concentration of Pb seems to be derived from the fossil fuel burning, while the Cr concentration in the lake indicates the use of fertilizer in the catchment area. The lowest concentrations of elements around ca 1990 AD seem to have occurred due to channelization of the lake feeding system. 相似文献

Pn velocity has been computed across the NE India and Moho geometry constrained, using regional earthquake travel times recorded
by a network of 30 seismological stations operated during February-May 1993. Using an appropriate velocity model and the arrival
times at the network stations, preliminary hypocentres of 16 regional earthquakes provided by NEIC were also improved. The
average Pn wave velocity in NE India has been found to be 8.5 ±0.2 km/s. It varies from 8.3 to 8.5 km/s beneath the Shillong
Plateau, Mikhir hills and Assam valley, which is significantly higher than those in other parts of India. The crustal thickness
in NE India is also high, varying from 45–49 km under the Shillong plateau and the adjoining region to 55–65 km in the convergence
zone. The presence of a thick crust and high Pn velocity suggests that the lithosphere in NE India is colder, as also indicated
by the observed deeper level (45-51 km) seismicity of the region. 相似文献

Measurements of shear wave splitting of the waveforms of SKS, SKKS phases recorded at all WWSSN stations (1977–1988) in the
Indian shield located on diverse geotectonic units are used to retrieve the anisotropic properties of the sub-Continental
lithosphere beneath these regions. The azimuth of fast polarization direction (FPD) ‘α’ and delay time ‘δt’ of the split shear
waves with their uncertainties are estimated. Events well distributed in azimuth yield tightly constrained average splitting
parameters of α, δt that are roughly:KOD (ENE. 0.50s); HYB (NNE, 145s); POO (N-S, 0.9s); NDI (NE, 0.95s). No consistent anisotropic
direction was found at SHL, though the phenomenon of shear wave splitting was clearly observed. In order to test the utility
of analog data to document such secondary effects and to authenticate our digitizing procedures, results from GEOSCOPE digital
data at HYB were compared with analog data results from the same location. Presence of detectable anisotropy at all the stations
is explained either in terms of past and present deformations by tectonic episodes or by plate motion related strain which
forms the two end member models in interpreting the observed azimuthal anisotropy. Knowledge of surface geology and maximum
horizontal compressive stress (MHS) orientations are invoked to constrain the most plausible hypothesis that explains the
observed anisotropic signatures at each of these locations. 相似文献

The deep crustal structure of eastern Dharwar craton has been investigated through τ-p extremal inversion of P-wave travel times from a network of seismographs recording quarry blasts. Travel times have been
observed in the distance range 30–250 km in a laterally homogeneous lithospheric segment Main features of the inferred velocity-depth
relationship include: (a) 29 km thick combined upper and middle crust velocity varying from 6 km/s to 7 km/s, with no observable
velocity discontinuity in this depth range; (b) a lower crust (∼ 29–41 km) with velocity increasing from 7.0 to 7.3 km/s;
(c) an average upper mantle velocity of 8.1 km/s; and (d) presence of a 12 km thick high velocity crustal layer (7.4 – 7.8
km/s) in the depth range 41–53 km, with a distinct velocity gradient marking a velocity increase of 0.4 km/s. The anomalous
53 km thick crust is viewed as a consequence of magmatic underplating at the base of the crust in the process of cratonization
of the eastern Dharwar craton during late Archaean. The underplated material reflects here with the velocity of 7–3 to 7–8
km/s below the depth of 40 km. Our proposition of magmatic underplating is also supported by the presence of large scale I-granitoid,
a product of partial melting of the upper mantle material. 相似文献
