东北地区660 km间断面附近波速结构研究

Detecting velocity structure around 660-kmdiscontinuity beneath Northeastern China

  • 摘要: 我国东北地区位于西北太平洋和达-贝尼奥夫俯冲带前缘,其深部速度结构对理解板块俯冲行为以及地幔物质的交换有重要意义.利用区域三重震相模拟方法,对中国地震观测台网记录到的两个深源地震P波和SH波波形数据,进行了相对到时和波形的拟合,获得了我国东北地区660 km间断面附近波速结构.结果表明,研究区域下方的间断面没有发生明显下沉,间断面之上存在一个厚约130 km的高速层,这可能对应了俯冲并滞留在间断面之上的西北太平洋板块;地幔过渡带整体呈现出S波低速异常和较高的vP/vS值,可能暗示了地幔转换带内含有较高的水.

     

    Abstract: Located at the front edge of the Wadati-Benioff zone of subducted northwestern Pacific plate, the velocity structure in the mantle transition zone beneath Northeastern China plays an important role in constraining the behavior of subducted slabs and material or energy exchange in mantle. By modeling P and SH triplicate waveforms from two deep events, recorded by a dense regional network stations, we show that a layer of fast anomaly, about 130 km thick, lies above the 660-km discontinuity with slight depression, which may be associated with the westward extension of the stagnant Pacific slab. The mantle transition zone, as a whole, is featured by low shear wave velocity and high vP/vS ratio, which may indicate the existence of a water-bearing mantle transition zone.
