中旬-大具断裂南东段晚第四纪活动的地质地貌证据

中甸-大具断裂南东段位于哈巴和玉龙雪山北麓,属于川西北次级块体西南边界,断裂总体走向310°～320°,是一条重要的边界断裂。了解该断裂的活动性质、活动时代和滑动速率等对分析川西北次级块体运动,研究该断裂与玉龙雪山东麓断裂的交切关系等问题具有重要意义。文中基于1︰5万活动断层地质填图,对断裂沿线地层地貌、陡坎地貌、地表破裂、典型断层剖面以及河流阶地等进行了详细的研究。研究表明:1)中甸-大具断裂南东段按几何结构、断错地貌表现、断裂活动性可分为马家村—大具次级段和大具—大东次级段。2)通过野外地质调查发现,马家村—大具次级段断错了全新世冲洪积扇,形成了地表破裂,为全新世活动段;而大具—大东次级段虽然也断错了晚更新—全新世地层,但其断错规模及滑动速率均较小,由此认为其全新世以来活动较弱。3)通过分析断裂沿线断层陡坎、水平位错及地表破裂等地质地貌问题,认为马家村—大具次级段的活动性质为右旋走滑兼正断,其晚更新世以来的垂直滑动速率为0. 4～0. 8mm/a,水平滑动速率为1. 5～2. 4mm/a;大具—大东次级段以右旋走滑为主、正断为辅,其晚更新世晚期以来的垂直滑动速率为0. 1mm/a。4)在大具盆地内发现的NW向地表破裂带的形成时代很年轻,不排除是1966年中甸6. 4级地震或1996年丽江7. 0级地震造成的地表破裂。     

云南中甸-大具断裂上新发现的地震地表破裂带

中甸-大具断裂是川滇菱形块体的西南边界，总体走向310°—320°。近年来我们对该断裂进行了1:50000条带状地质填图，发现了断裂活动的地质地貌证据。其中，在丽江大具盆地内（金沙江右岸）沿断裂新发现一处典型地震地表破裂带，长约600m，宽120m左右，主要表现为地表挤压鼓包、挤压垄脊、张裂缝、挤压阶区等，呈NW走向，与中甸-大具断裂走向基本一致。野外工作中，我们详细记录和测量了地表破裂的破裂样式、破裂规模和相关定量数据，利用旋翼无人机测绘了地表破裂带的形态和展布，获得了高精度DEM，分析了地表破裂表现出的运动性质。在已有资料的基础上讨论了地表破裂的形成时代、归属、震级大小，简要分析了其发震断层。新地震地表破裂带的发现为进一步研究中甸-大具断裂活动特征、古地震及地震危险性提供了基础资料。

根据野外地质、地貌调查结果,重点论述了德钦—中甸—大具断裂的几何展布、运动性质和最新活动时代。该断裂多处断错了晚更新世及全新世地层,具明显的右旋走滑兼正断性质,最新活动时代为晚更新世至全新世,水平滑动速率为1.7~2.0 mm/a,垂直滑动速率为0.6~0.7 mm/a。该断裂是川滇菱形块体西北边缘的一条重要的NW向走滑断裂,它与金沙江断裂带一起,共同构成了川滇菱形块体西北边界。     

郯庐断裂带安丘-莒县断裂江苏段古地震研究新进展

郯庐断裂带是中国东部活动性最强的断裂带,郯庐断裂带江苏段主要由5条分支断层组成,并于更新世强烈活动,其中安丘-莒县断裂持续活动至全新世,是1668年郯城■级特大地震的发震断裂。文中采用古地震探槽方法研究安丘-莒县断裂江苏段全新世以来的古地震事件,并采用¹⁴C测年方法确定古地震的时间。结合前人通过探槽揭露的古地震时间进行综合分析,认为安丘-莒县断裂江苏段全新世以来共有3次古地震事件,时间分别为距今3 000a以来、距今约6 000a和11 000a,垂直同震位移均约1m。1668年郯城8.5级地震在安丘-莒县断裂新沂段山前出露区存在地表破裂的迹象,在隐伏区表现为大量喷砂冒水现象,在探槽揭露的晚全新世地层中有密集的裂缝和砂脉。     

基于冲沟右旋水平位错的安丘-莒县断裂地震特征位移分析

安丘-莒县断裂是郯庐断裂带晚第四纪以来活动特征明显的断裂段,曾发生70BC安丘7级地震,对该地震的同震位错量和该断裂的长期活动习性开展研究,有助于理解郯庐断裂带的构造活动。然而一直以来,安丘—莒县段的古地震研究结果并不理想,没有很好的同震位移量证据。文中利用高分辨率的无人机Sf M摄影测量技术提取了大量冲沟的右旋水平位错量,对安丘-莒县段断裂安丘—孟瞳段和青峰岭段的走滑运动特征进行了定量研究,通过分布概率统计,获得该断裂最小的冲沟右旋水平位移量约为5m,并且发现较大的冲沟右旋水平位移量也为5m的倍数,这种现象可能代表了该断裂发生过多次规模相当的地震事件,而约5m的右旋水平位错量暗示该断裂存在地震特征位移。此外,依据位错量与震级和地表破裂长度的关系推断,70BC安丘地震的震级可能存在低估,且产生了安丘—孟瞳、青峰岭和莒县—孟堰3段级联破裂;或者5m的特征位移指示了另一次更大的史前地震。     

合浦-北流断裂带西支合浦盆地段断裂活动性研究

合浦-北流断裂起于北部湾海域,经合浦、博白后继续向NE延伸,断裂总长度为400余千米,断裂总体走向为40°～60°,分东、西2支,其中西支自南流江下游合浦盆地西南段一直向NE延伸。文中主要采用地质地貌、地震探测、钻探以及年代学方法,对合浦-北流断裂西支合浦盆地段的活动性进行判定,结果表明:合浦-北流断裂西支合浦盆地段最后1次活动应发生在早更新世中晚期,错距约为10m,断裂被中更新世中、晚期地层覆盖,即中更新世中、晚期以来,断裂的活动趋于减弱或停止     

香山-天景山断裂带西段晚第四纪的特征滑动行为

香山-天景山断裂带是青藏高原东北缘弧形构造带的重要组成部分,其东段曾发生1709年7级地震。虽然该断裂带西段缺乏历史地震记录,但在其各次级段上却保留了最新一次地震产生的较新鲜的地表破裂,以及沿其发生的大量冲沟同步左旋位错。为了确定西段晚第四纪以来的活动特征,通过野外实测与卫星解译获得了240个冲沟或山脊的左旋水平位移量,以及62个垂直位移量。将所测位移量值投影到断裂展布方向上,得到了水平和垂直位移量沿断裂的分布特征。对水平位移量做进一步的概率密度模拟和频率统计分析,结果显示水平位移量具有明显的分组性与倍数关系。6组水平位移量可能分别代表了6次古地震事件,而西段上开挖的探槽也揭露了相似的事件期次。其中,最新一次地震的同震水平位移量为3m,而其他几次较老地震产生的累积位移量分别为6m,9m,12m,16m和20m,每次地震的同震位移量近似。因此,推断香山-天景山断裂带西段晚第四纪以来的地震活动遵循特征滑动模型。     

登登山-池家刺窝断裂晚第四纪活动性定量研究

登登山-池家刺窝断裂位于阿尔金断裂东端宽滩山隆起的NE侧,总体走向NW,地貌上表现为醒目的断层陡坎;登登山段长约19km,池家刺窝段长约6.5km。通过卫星影像解译、探槽开挖、断错地貌测量及年龄样品测试等工作,研究了2条断裂的新活动特征。宽滩山NE麓普遍发育3级地貌面,即山前基岩侵蚀台面和冲沟I、Ⅱ级阶地。登登山断裂断错除I级阶地以外的其他地貌面,陡坎高度普遍在1.5m左右,最大高度2.6m。探槽揭露登登山断裂晚更新世以来有3次古地震事件,3次事件的总断距约2.7m,一次事件的垂直断距为0.5~1.2m,事件Ⅰ大约发生于距今5ka;事件Ⅱ大致发生于距今2×10~4a,事件Ⅲ大致发生于距今3.5×10~4a,重复间隔约1.5×10~4a,晚更新世以来的垂直滑动速率约为0.04mm/a。池家刺窝断裂断错了所有3级地貌面,陡坎最大高度为4m,一般在2m左右。探槽揭露池家刺窝断裂晚更新世以来也有3次古地震事件,3次事件的总断距约3.25m,1次事件的垂直位错为0.75~1.5m,晚更新世以来断裂垂直滑动速率为0.06mm/a。池家刺窝断裂古地震事件年代限定较差,但最新1次事件晚于登登山断裂,根据登登山断裂古地震事件的研究结果,推测池家刺窝断裂古地震重复间隔接近于登登山断裂的1.5×10~4a左右。池家刺窝断裂的最新活动时代晚于登登山断裂,1次事件的垂直位错及晚更新世以来的垂直滑动速率都比登登山断裂略大,2条断裂之间还有长约5km的不连续段,被第四纪冲洪积砂砾石层覆盖,地形平坦,断裂地貌特征不发育,这些都表明登登山断裂和池家刺窝断裂具有明显的分段活动特征。阿尔金断裂以北的登登山和池家刺窝断裂规模都不大,垂直滑动速率仅为0.04~0.06mm/a,远小于祁连山断裂及酒西盆地内NW向断裂的垂直滑动速率,反映出构造变形主要限制在高原内部及河西走廊地区,登登山和池家刺窝断裂以低滑动速率、古地震复发间隔很长(10~4a)的缓慢构造变形为特征。     

落儿岭-土地岭断裂几何结构及晚第四纪活动特征初探

落儿岭-土地岭断裂是东大别地区重要的发震构造，然而限于自然地理条件等因素，前人对其的研究并不充分。本文以发生多次中强地震的落儿岭-土地岭断裂为研究对象，在高精度卫星影像解译的基础上，通过详细的野外地质地貌调查，尤其是对典型断层剖面进行分析，研究落儿岭-土地岭断裂的断错地质地貌特征、几何结构及活动特征。通过野外调查并结合其他资料分析认为落儿岭-土地岭断裂为发育于大别造山带内部的一条走向NE、向NW陡倾的断裂带。依据地质地貌特征及地震活动性，断裂可以划分为杨树沟-黑石渡段和黑石渡-横塘岗乡段两个几何段落。断裂最新活动时代为中更新世晚期-晚更新世早期，断裂最新活动继承了中生代以来的运动方式，以兼具右旋走滑的拉张正断为主。     

内蒙古色尔腾山山前断裂(乌句蒙口-东风村段)的断层活动与古地震事件

通过对色尔腾山山前断裂乌句蒙口 -东风村段的遥感资料解释、野外地质地貌考察 ,并通过对重点地段的古地震探槽开挖 ,获得了该断裂段晚更新世晚期以来的垂直位移速率是 0 88～ 1 83mm a ,全新世中期以来的垂直位移速率是 0 89mm a。通过 2个大型探槽的开挖、古地震事件分析和相关堆积物的断代研究 ,以及用逐次限定方法分析整个断层段上的古地震事件 ,认定该断裂段上全新世以来发生了 5次古地震事件 :事件 1发生在距今 90 0 0± 130 0年 ,事件2发生在距今 6 5 0 0± 5 0 0年 ,事件 3发生在距今 5 5 70年左右 ,事件 4发生在距今 4 2 0 0± 30 0年 ,事件 5发生在距今 32 5 0± 2 5 0年。晚更新世晚期到距今 1万年之间 ,古地震事件很不完整。全新世以来的 5次古地震事件表现出一定的丛集特征。最早的一丛事件发生在距今 890 0年左右 ,第2丛发生在距今 6 5 0 0～ 5 70 0年之间 ,第 3丛事件发生在距今 32 5 0～ 4 2 0 0年之间。第 1丛与第 2丛古地震事件之间间隔为 2 4 0 0年左右 ,而第 2丛与第 3丛古地震事件之间仅间隔 15 70年左右。距今 32 5 0年以来 ,该断裂段上还没有发生过错断地表的地震事件 ,已经超出了古地震丛之间的重复间隔。因此 ,它是色尔腾山前活动断裂带上具备潜在危险的一个活动断裂段。     

LATE QUATERNARY ACTIVITY OF THE SOUTHEASTERN SECTION OF ZHONGDIAN-DAJU FAULT

The southeast section of Zhongdian-Daju Fault is located in the northern part of Haba and Yulong Snow Mountain, belonging to the southwestern boundary of the secondary block in northwestern Sichuan, an important boundary fault striking 310°~320° on the whole. The nature of the fault, the age of its activity and the slip rate are of great significance for the analysis of the secondary block movement in the northwestern Sichuan and the intersection relationship with the eastern piedmont fault of Yulong Mountains. Based on the 1 ︰ 5 million-scale active fault geological mapping, this paper studies in detail the stratigraphic landform, scarp landform, surface rupture, typical fault profile and river terrace along the fault. Based on the research results, we divide the southeastern section of Zhongdian-Daju Fault into two sub-segments, the Majiacun-Daju sub-segment and the Daju-Dadong sub-segment, according to the geometric structure, fault landforms and fault activity. (1)Fault scarp:In the Majiacun-Daju sub-segment, the fault parallelly controls the two sides of the Haba fault depression. It cuts the late Pleistocene moraine deposits, forming a fault scarp of about 4.5km long and(14±2)m high. The continuity of the scarp is very good, and it is also very obvious in the remote sensing image. In the Daju-Dadong sub-segment, a scarp with a height of about 2m is formed, and an optical luminescence dating sample is collected from the upper part of the gravel layer on the second-order terrace to obtain an age of(22±2.2)ka. (2)Horizontal dislocation:In the Majiacun-Daju sub-segment, through the analysis of the development of outwash fans in the area and the measurement and induction of the gully dislocations, it is considered that there are at least three stages of outwash fans developed in the area and there may be four phases of faulting. That is, the earliest-stage outwash fan and gully are horizontally dislocated about 1km; the second-stage outwash fan and gully are horizontally dislocated about 47m, and the vertical dislocation is about(14±2)m; the gully in the third stage outwash fan is horizontally dislocated twice, the first dislocation formed a beheaded gully with a dislocation of 22m, and the second formed a beheaded gully with a dislocation of 8.5m. It is further proved that the fault has strong activity since the Holocene in the Majiacun to Daju area. In the Daju-Dadong sub-segment, there are no obvious horizontal dislocations in the alluvial deposits since the Holocene. Only 3~4 gullies are found to be offset right-laterally in the ridges east of Wenhe Village, with the maximum dislocation of 210m, which may be the older phase dislocation. (3)Surface rupture:In the northwest direction of Dabazi Village on the T3 terrace in the basin between Majiacun and Daju, an earthquake surface rupture zone is found, extending in the NW direction. The rupture zone left clear traces on the about 1m-thick, hard T₃ terrace surface formed by calcification of sand gravels, and the overburden either upwarps and bulges, or ruptures, generates ground fissures, or forms small pull-apart "depressions" locally. However, the rupture zone is not large in size, about 350m long, 60m wide at the widest point, and 0.3~1.5m high. It is partially en-echelon or obliquely arranged, dominated by compressive ruptures. Through observation, the possibility of artificial transformation is ruled out for these upwarping bulges, ruptures or ground fissures. The fault section is found in the southeast direction of the rupture zone. The slickensides at the section show that the fault is dominated by right-lateral strike-slip with a small amount of thrust. In the eastern sub-segment, only intermittently distributed surface ruptures are found in the northern part of the village, and the scale is small. In summary, through the field geological survey, it is found that the Majiacun-Daju sub-segment is a Holocene active segment. Though the Daju-Dadong sub-segment also offset the late Pleistocene to Holocene strata, it is considered that its Holocene activity is weak in terms of either the dislocation amount or the slip rate of this segment. By analyzing the geological and geomorphological evidences, such as fault scarps, horizontal dislocation and surface ruptures along the fault, it is considered that the Majiacun-Daju sub-segment is a right-lateral strike-slip fault with a normal faulting component, and its vertical slip rate since the late Pleistocene is(0.4~0.8)mm/a, the horizontal slip rate is 1.5~2.4mm/a. The Daju-Dadong sub-segment is dominated by right-lateral strike-slip with a normal faulting component, and its vertical slip rate since the late Late Cenozoic is 0.1mm/a. The formation of the NW-trending surface rupture zone found in the Daju Basin is very young, where there are only two major earthquakes, namely, the M_S6.4 1966 Zhongdian earthquake and the 1996 Lijiang M_S7.0 earthquake, and both earthquakes produced NW-oriented surface rupture zones. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the rupture zone is a product of the 1966 Zhongdian M_S6.4 earthquake or the 1996 Lijiang M_S7.0 earthquake.     

祁连山北缘玉门-北大河断裂晚第四纪活动特征

通过卫星影像解译、野外实地调查并结合前人研究成果,对位于祁连山北缘的玉门—北大河断裂晚第四纪构造活动特征进行研究。结果表明,玉门—北大河断裂为一条全新世活动的逆冲断裂,该断裂西起玉门青草湾,向东经老玉门市、大红泉止于骨头泉,全长约80km,整体走向NWW。根据断裂的几何结构及活动习性可将其分为三段:东段构造形态简单连续,为逆冲断层陡坎为主的古地震地表破裂带;中段结构复杂,由多条次级断层组成,以逆冲扩展为主;西段未出露地表而成为盲断裂-褶皱带。通过对断层陡坎差分GPS测量及相应地貌面年代测试,得到断裂晚更新世以来逆冲速率约为(0.73±0.09)mm/a。     

GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SURFACE RUPTURE OF TWO HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKES IN THE BARKOL BASIN,XINJIANG

Surface rupture zone of historical earthquake is the most intuitive geomorphological response to fault activity. The rupture pattern, coseismic displacement and its geometric spatial distribution are important for determining segmentation and long-term movement behaviors of active fault. In the Barkol Basin of Xinjiang, according to the comprehensive result from remote sensing image interpretation, field surgery, high-resolution small unmanned aerial vehicles photography, terrain deformation measurements and trench excavation on geomorphological points, not only the new surface ruptures of the two M7 1/2 historical earthquakes in Barkol in 1842 and 1914 were found and defined between Xiongkuer and the southwest of Barkol County in southwestern part of the basin, but also the latest deformation evidence of the EW fold-up faults in the eastern part of the Basin was identified. Combined with the ancient document analysis of the two historical earthquakes, we finally conclude that the surface rupture zone in the western segment on the southern margin of the Barkol Basin is the seismogenic structure of the M7 1/2 earthquake in 1842. The surface rupture zone is mainly characterized by left-lateral strike-slip, roughly with en echelon arrangement spreading from Xiongkuer to the south of Barkol County. The length of the surface rupture zone determined by field investigation is at least about 65km, and the maximum horizontal displacement appears around the Xiongkuer Village. At the same time, the surface rupture zone gradually shows more significant thrust extrusion from west to east, and has a tendency of extension towards the central of the Barkol Basin. The average observed displacement of the entire surface rupture obtained by counting the coseismic offsets of multiple faulted gullies is(4.1±1.0)m, with the coseismic characteristic displacement of ~4m. The epicenter position should appear at the place with the largest horizontal dislocation amount near Xiongkuer Village. In addition, the length of the fold-blind fault zone in the vicinity of the Kuisu Town and the eastward extension to the Yanchi Township of the Yiwu Basin, which was discovered in the center of the Barkol Basin, is about 90km. The folded blind fault causes significant fold deformation in the latest sedimentary strata such as floodplain, and in addition, as shown on many outcrop sections, the bending-moment faults associated with the coseismic fold deformation have ruptured the surface. Therefore, the location of the epicenter should be located at the maximum fold deformation, which is near the Kuisu Town. The new research results not only further improve the understanding of the epicenter location and seismogenic faults of the two historical earthquakes in the Barkol Basin, but also provide an important reference for analyzing regional seismic hazards.     

根据GPS和InSAR数据反演2001年昆仑山口西地震同震破裂分布

2001年昆仑山口西地震经历了一个相当复杂的破裂过程,迄今为止用不同资料、不同方法和模型得到的同震破裂发布具有很大差异.我们采用地震前后GPS和InSAR观测数据得到的同震位移反演该地震的同震破裂分布,检验各种可能的模型参数,得到在数据与平滑优化约束下尽可能详尽的结果.建模过程经历三个步骤：（1）采用直立断层模型反演,根据解的分辨率和拟合差的折中曲线得到最优平滑约束;（2）改变断层倾角,找到使得观测数据和正演计算拟合最好的断层倾角;（3）根据前面两步得到的最优平滑约束和断层倾角求得地震同震破裂分布.比起前人的研究结果,我们得到的地表走滑分量随断层分布与地质考察数据符合得更好.我们还发现形变沿断层两盘并不对称,断层南盘的位移比北盘大10%~20%.这种位移场的不对称性可以由倾角约为80°~81°的南倾断层所解释.我们首次用大地测量数据揭示了太阳湖断层东端和东昆仑主断层西端~50 km的左阶断层上吸收了0.1~0.2 m的正断层分量,昆仑山口断层段吸收了~0.8 m的逆冲分量.地震释放的总地震矩为9.3×10²⁰ N·m, 对应于 M_w8.0的地震.     

NEW EVIDENCES OF HOLOCENE ACTIVITY IN THE JIANGSU SEGMENT OF ANQIU-JUXIAN FAULT OF THE TANLU FAULT ZONE

Anqiu-Juxian Fault is an important fault in the Tanlu fault zone, with the largest seismic risk, the most recent activity date and the most obvious surface traces. It is also the seismogenic fault of the Tancheng M8 1/2 earthquake in 1668. There are many different views about the southern termination location of surface rupture of the Tancheng earthquake and the Holocene activity in Jiangsu segment of this fault. Research on the latest activity time of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault, particularly the termination location of surface rupture of the Tancheng earthquake, is of great significance to the assessment of its earthquake potential and seismic risk. Based on trench excavation on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault, we discuss the time and characteristics of its latest activity. Multiple geological sections from southern Maling Mountain to Chonggang Mountain indicate that there was an ancient seismic event occurring in Holocene on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault. We suggest the time of the latest seismic event is about(4.853±0.012)~(2.92±0.3)ka BP by dating results. The latest activity is characterized by thrust strike-slip faulting, with the maximum displacement of 1m. Combined with the fault rupture characteristics of each section, it is inferred that only one large-scale paleo-earthquake event occurred on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault since the Holocene. The upper parts of the fault are covered by horizontal sand layers, not only on the trench in the west of Chonggang mountain but also on the trench in Hehuan Road in Suqian city, which indicates that the main part of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault was probably not the surface rupture zone of the 1668 Tancheng M8 1/2 earthquake. In short, the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault has experienced many paleo-earthquake events since the late Pleistocene, with obvious activity during the Holocene. The seismic activities of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault have the characteristics of large magnitude and low frequency. The Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault has the deep tectonic and seismic-geological backgrounds of big earthquakes generation and should be highly valued by scientists.     

THE COSEISMIC VERTICAL DISPLACEMENTS OF SURFACE RUPTURE ZONE OF THE 1556 HUAXIAN EARTHQUAKE

Coseismic displacement plays a role in earthquake surface rupture, which not only reflects the magnitude scale but also has effect on estimates of fault slip rate and earthquake recurrence intervals. A great historical earthquake occurred in Huaxian County on the 23^rd January 1556, however, there was lack of surface rupture records and precise coseismic vertical displacements. It's known that the 1556 Huaxian earthquake was caused by Huashan front fault and Weinan plateau front fault, which are large normal faults in the east part of the southern boundary faults in Weihe Basin controlling the development of the basin in Quaternary. Here, we made a study on three drilling sites in order to unveil the coseismic vertical displacements. It is for the first time to get the accurate coseismic vertical displacements, which is 6m at Lijiapo site of Huashan front fault, 7m at Caiguocun site, and 6m at Guadicun site of Weinan plateau front fault. These coseismic displacements measured based on same layers of drilling profiles both at footwall and hanging wall are different from the results measured by former geomorphological fault scarps. It's estimated that some scarps are related with the nature reformation and the human beings' activities, for example, fluviation or terracing field, instead of earthquake acticity, which leads to some misjudgment on earthquake displacements. Moreover, the vertical displacements from the measurement of geomorphological scarps alone do not always agree with the virtual ones. Hence, we assume that the inconsistency between the results from drilling profiles and geomorphological scarps in this case demonstrates that the fault scarp surface may have been demolished and rebuilt by erosion or human activities.     

基于形变观测分析2011年日本9.0级地震与断层运动间关系

2011年3月11日日本发生9.0级地震,本文以此次地震的震间、同震和震后形变观测为约束,依据不同时段断层运动空间分布特征分析日本海沟地区强震与断层运动间关系.震间日本海沟地区,断层运动闭锁线深度约为60km,闭锁线以上从深到浅依次为断层运动强闭锁段、无震滑移段和弱闭锁段.由同震位错反演结果,2011年日本9.0级地震同震存在深浅两个滑移极值区,同震较浅的滑移极值区(同震位错量10~50m,深度小于30km)震间为断层弱闭锁段;同震较深的滑移极值区(同震位错量10~20m,深度在40km左右)震间为断层强闭锁段;而在两者之间的过渡带同震位错相对较小,震间断层运动表现为无震滑移.震后初期断层运动主要分布在在闭锁线以上的同震较深滑移极值区,而同震较浅的滑移极值区能量释放比较彻底,断层震后余滑量相对较小.依据本文同震和震间断层运动反演结果,震间强闭锁段积累10m同震位错需要100多年时间,与该区域历史上7级地震活动复发周期相当;震间弱闭锁段积累30~50m同震位错约需要300~600年时间,与相关研究给出的日本海沟9级左右地震复发周期比较一致.在实际孕震能力判定的工作中,由于不同性质的断层段在同震过程中会表现更多的组合形式,断层发震能力判定结果存在更多的不确定性,但利用区域形变观测等资料给出震间断层运动特征的研究工作对于断层强震发震能力的判定具有非常重要的实际意义.     

东昆仑断裂带东部塔藏断裂地震地表破裂特征及其构造意义

东昆仑断裂带作为青藏高原中东部的巴颜喀拉地块北缘边界断裂带, 研究其强震破裂行为对于认识断裂带活动性及分析川西北地区未来地震危险性具有重要意义。 通过沿断裂发育的大量断错地貌勘查、 典型微地貌DGPS测量及样品年代测定, 认为东昆仑断裂带向东的强震活动性延伸至若尔盖盆地北侧, 即东昆仑断裂带东部塔藏断裂的罗叉段。 此段在卫星影像上呈清晰的灰黑色、 灰黄色线性条带, 地震形变带主要表现为断层陡坎、 坡中谷、 冲沟和阶地位错、 植物异常呈线性分布、 跌水、 断层泉、 断塞塘以及伴随地表错动而出现的滑坡、 垮塌和倒石堆。 这些破裂现象沿先存断层断续分布, 组成长约50 km的“L”形地震形变带。 断裂活动造成冲沟和阶地左行运动, 位错量主要集中在5.5～6.0 m、 18～23 m、 68～75 m和200～220 m范围。 最近地震发生在(340±30)～(500±30)BP间, 宏观震中位于本多村西北5～7 km, 震级为M_W7.3左右, 同震位移最大值为6 m, 水平位错量为5.5～6.0 m, 垂直位错量一般为0.2～0.5 m, 其比例为51～101。 对地震形变带中的各种变形遗迹和地震地表破裂特征的研究表明, 塔藏断裂是这次地震的发震构造。 确定了塔藏断裂为全新世活动断层, 近期断层在压剪切作用控制下以左行运动为主, 兼有少量逆冲分量, 同东昆仑断裂带其他段的活动性质相似, 认为东昆仑断裂带延伸至若尔盖盆地北侧, 研究结果支持“大陆逃逸”模型。     

LATE QUATERNARY ACTIVITY AND PALEOSEISMIC RUPTURE BEHAVIOR FOR THE SOUTHEAST SECTION OF THE GANZI-YUSHU FAULT

The Ganzi-Yushu Fault, the boundary of Bayan Har active tectonic block, Qiantang active tectonic block and Sichuan-Yunan active tectonic block, is a sinistral strike-slip fault zone with intensive Holocene activity. Thus, the study of activity characteristics and rupture behavior of paleoearthquakes in the late Quaternary on the Ganzi-Yushu Fault is of fundamental importance for understanding the future seismic risk of this fault. The southeast section of Ganzi-Yushu Fault is made up of three segments of Ganzi, Manigange and Dengke, where a M_S7.3 earthquake in 1866, a M_S7.7 earthquake in 1854 and a M_S7.3 in 1896 occurred, respectively. There is still lack of in-depth study on the active features and the cascading rupture possibility of these segments, which hindered the evaluation of seismic risk for the southeast section of Ganzi-Yushu Fault. By the means of field geological survey and micro topography measurement, this paper studied the geological and geomorphological features of the southeast section of the Ganzi-Yushu Fault. The results show that the Ganzi and Dengke segments show obvious extension movement, in addition to the left-lateral movement. For Manigange segment, the characteristics of the movement are mainly left-lateral strike-slip and thrusting, and the maximum vertical displacement of the Holocene strata is greater than 2m. In part areas, the movement is normal faulting, which perhaps relates to the left stepping zone in the local stress environment. Therefore, combining the research results such as the fracture distribution in different motion characteristics, rupture behavior of paleoearthquakes, and the distribution of historical earthquake surface ruptures, we divide the southeast section of Ganzi Yushu Fault into Ganzi, Manigange and Dengke segment, and consider the Yakou and the Dengke Basin as the stepovers and the segments' boundaries. As the small scale of impermanent barriers including Dengke Basin and the ridge near Yakou, of which the width is about 1~2km, they may be broken through in great earthquake rupture in future. A trench was excavated in Zhuqing township to investigate the paleoearthquakes on the Manigange segment, radiocarbon dating was employed and 3 paleoseismic events were revealed in the Zhuqing trench, which are the seismic events occurring respectively at 3875~3455BC, after 775BC, and the latest one that ruptured the surface. Compared with the previous results of paleoseismology in the southeast section of Ganzi-Yushu Fault, it is found that the paleoseismic events in the Manigange segment are obviously different with that in Ganzi segment and Dengke segment. Due to the lack of sufficient data on the southeast section of the Ganzi-Yushu Fault, it still needs further discussion whether the cascade-rupturing between these segments exists.
