川滇地区地壳密度变化与强震孕育关系

Crustal density variation and its relationship with the seismogenic structure of strong earthquakes in Sichuan-Yunnan region

  • 摘要: 为研究川滇地区地壳密度的时空演化特征与强震孕育的关系,本文基于2011—2014年川滇地区的重力复测资料,利用阻尼最小二乘反演算法,获得了川滇地区0—50 km深度范围内分辨率为55 km×55 km×10 km (长×宽×高)的三维动态密度变化模型。以所获取的动态密度变化为依据,分析了川滇地区三维密度变化特征与2013年四川芦山MS7.0、2014年云南鲁甸MS6.5和四川康定MS6.3地震的关系,并由此对强震重点构造部位的深部地壳结构特征、孕震背景及区域动力学过程进行了深入分析。结果显示:川滇地区出现多个与主要活动断裂带展布方向基本一致的密度变化高梯度带,在三次地震的震中区及其附近观测到明显的区域性密度变化异常。15—35 km深度范围内的密度变化水平剖面显示:强震容易发生在上地壳密度变化正、负异常过渡的高梯度带和密度变化四象限分布的中心;中地壳深度密度变化低异常是强震孕育的主要介质条件;下地壳深度密度变化低异常或密度变化高梯度带均有可能是孕育地震的主要介质结构。0—50 km深度的垂直剖面上的密度变化结果显示,地震震中区及附近浅部、深部地壳呈现解耦变化。壳内垂向正负密度变化过渡带可能是强震孕育的又一个主要特征构造。

     

    Abstract: In order to study the relationship between the spatio-temporal evolution characteris-tics of crustal density and the seismogenic process of strong earthquakes in Sichuan-Yunnan region, this paper obtained the three-dimensional dynamic density variation model of 0−60 km depth with the resolution of 55 km×55 km×10 km (length, width and height) based on the re-measurement gravity data in the Sichuan-Yunnan region during the period 2011−2014 by the damped least squares inversion algorithm. Then we analyzed the relationship between the three-dimensional dynamic density structure characteristics and the seismogenic characteristics of the LushanMS7.0 in 2013, the Ludian MS6.5 in 2014 and the Kangding MS6.3 in 2014. Furthermore we studied the deep crustal structure, seismogenic background, and regional dynamics of the strong earthquakes. The results show that density variation model exhibited multiple density-change high-gradient zones, which is consistent with the extending direction of the main active fault zones in the Sichuan-Yunnan region. There were obvious regional density variation anomalies in the epicentral area of the three earthquakes mentioned above. The density change horizontal profiles in the depth of 15−35 km showed that strong earthquakes were likely to occur in the center of the high-gradient transition of the positive and negative density variation as well as the center of the four-quadrant distribution of the density variation in the upper-crust, and low density-change anomalies in the mid-crust is required for strong earthquakes. In the lower-crust low anomalies and the high gradient zone of the density change may be the main medium structure for the strong earthquakes. The density variation along the vertical section in the depth of 0−50 km shows that decoupling changes appeared in the shallow crust and deep crust of the epicenters and their adjacent areas. The transitional zone between positive and negative density variation in vertical direction in the crust maybe the main structure for occurrence of strong earthquakes.
