川南威远地区中小地震震源机制解及应力场特征

Focal mechanism solutions and stress field characteristics of small and moderate earthquakes in Weiyuan area, southern Sichuan basin

  • 摘要: 基于四川省威远地区密集流动台站从2019年12月1日至2020年6月30日期间收集到的42个ML3.0—4.5中小地震事件,采用Hypo2000定位法进行精定位,并利用HASH (Hardebeck & Shearer)法反演得到其中31次地震的震源机制解,之后利用阻尼区域应力反演方法计算了研究区的应力场参数。结果表明:中小地震主要分布在威远背斜南翼SSE向墨林场断层的两侧,震源深度集中在10 km以内,均为浅源地震;震源机制解类型以逆冲型为主,断层错动类型较为复杂,根据震源机制解结果,推测墨林场断层两侧存在一系列盲冲断层及正断型断层,同时研究区浅层地层中还可能存在其它小的隐伏断层或破裂;区域应力场为逆冲兼走滑型,其最大主应力轴σ1方位为103°,倾角为1°,最小主应力轴σ3方位为192°,倾角为51°,与震源机制解主要类型具有较好的一致性。

     

    Abstract: Based on the 42 small and moderate events of ML3.0−4.5 recorded by the dense portable stations in Weiyuan area of southern Sichuan basin during the period from December 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, we used Hypo2000 relocation method to precisely relocate the events. Then we performed the focal mechanism inversion for 31 events among them by HASH (Hardebeck & Shearer) method. And then we used damping spatial and temporal stress inversion method to carry out the inversion for the stress field parameters of the study area. The results indicate that the small and moderate earthquakes are mainly distributed on the SSE-striking Molin fault on the southern flank of the Weiyuan anticline with focal depths concentrating within 10 km, which suggests they are shallow earthquakes. The main type of focal mechanism solutions is thrust, and the type of fault-slip is relatively complex. According to the results of focal mechanism solutions, it is inferred that there are a series of blind thrust faults and normal faults on both sides of the Molin fault. Meanwhile, there may be other small hidden faults or fractures in the shallow strata of the study area. The azimuth of the maximum principal stress σ1 is 103° and the dip is 1°, and the azimuth of the minimum principal stress σ3 is 192° and the dip is 51° in the area. The type of the stress field is thrusting with strike slip, which is consistent with the main type of focal mechanism solutions in the area.
