DIFFERENCES OF CRUSTAL STRUCTURES IN NORTHEASTERN EDGE OF TIBET PLATEAU, ORDOS AND TANGSHAN EARTHQUAKE REGION IN NORTH CHINA-RESULTS OF DEEP SEISMIC SOUNDING
So,we have concluded that the extremely seismic area of the 1573 AD Minxian M61/2 earthquake located in Minxian city,the intensity is Ⅷ~Ⅸ,the epicenter is 34.4°N,104.0°E,its precision is Ⅱ and the error of the place is less than and equal to 25km.
According to characteristics of the geological tectonic in seismic area and the results of field investigation,the Sunan earthquake with Ms5.3 in Gansu on July 11,2001 belongs to middle intensity,and it is a result of the action of Tuoleshan northern active fault.
The Bachu-Jiashi earthquake of M_S6.8 occurred on Feb.24, 2003, in Xinjiang, which is 20km from the southeast Jiashi seismic region in 1997~1998, and its aftershocks are rich and strong.
Two seismic refraction profiles which are perpendicular to each other, running through Xingtai earthquake region, reveal the anomalous variations of crust-mantle velocity structure and deep tectonics.
The joint analysis of geological, geodetic (GPS), and seismological data on the Sumatra earthquake area shows that these two mechanisms also act in the Indonesian part of the Alpine-Himalayan mobile belt.
The deep seismic reflection profiling carried out in Xingtai earthquake area provides a new knowledge of the crustal structure of the Shulu fault basin and its vicinity.
Observational data from the Tangshan earthquake area are processed, 3-D Moho discontinuity in the area is rebuilt, and finally, the relationship between the regional structure and seismicity is revealed.
The variations of dynamic characteristics, mainly the form and spectrum pf seismic waves before large earthquakes have been studied, and some prediction indices among which, some may be prospective in application to short-term(within half year) earthquake prediction, are found. These indices include: temporal and spatial linearity of wave form of initial part of S,P wave, its average half-period, the peak frequency, corner frequency, relative width of frequency domain, relative value of peak spectrum and th...
The paper analysed stress and strain field including the effect of rock dilatancy and fault creeping in earthquake preparation, according to coupling equation of stress and pore pressure field, the pore pressure field variation along with stress field can be calculated. The results showd that the variation of pore pressure are related to intensity of stress variation and capacity of medium osmosis. First extremum area of pore pressure concentrated at fault extreme, then turned to middle of blocking part acc...
Based on analysis of the precursory data of Datong-Yanggao earthquake Ms 6.1 in 1989, the comprehensive study on the precursory of the event and its field-source features are made. The results show that the abundant precursory phenomena prior to the earthquake are resulted from the mutual reaction between the seismic source stress field and regional stress field. The size of the seismic source is estimated about 20 or 30 km and size of seismogenic area is about 200 km. The increment of subsidence ra-te of D...
