| Abstract: | On the basis of S wave information from Tai’an-Xinzhou DSS profile and with reference to the results from P-wave interpretation,
the 2-D structures, including S-wave velocity V
s, ratio γ between V
p and V
s; and Poisson’ s ratio σ, are calculated; the structural configuration of the profile is presented and the relevant inferences are drawn from the
above results. Upwarping mantle districts (V
s≈4.30 km/s) and sloping mantle districts (V
s≈4.50 km/s) of the profile with velocity difference about −4% at the top of upper mantle are divided according to the differences
of V
s, γ and σ in different media and structures, also with reference to the information of their neighbouring regions; the existence of
Niujiaqiao-Dongwang high-angle ultra-crustal fault zone is reaffirmed; the properties of low and high velocity blocks (zones)
including the crust-mantle transitionalzone and the boudary indicators of North China rift valley are discussed. A comprehensive
study is conducted on the relation of the interpretation results with earthquakes. It is concluded that the mantle upwarps,
thermal material upwells through the high-angle fault, the primary hypocenter was located at the crust-mantle juncture 30.0∼33.0
km deep, and additional stress excited the M
S=6.8 and M
S=7.2 earthquakes at specific locations around 9.0 km below Niujiaqiao-Dongwang, the earthquakes took place around the high-angle
ultra-crustal fault and centered in the brittle media and rock strata with low γ and low σ values.
This subject is part of the 85-907-02 key project during the “8th Five-Year Plan” from the State Science and Technology Commission. |
