摘要
基于青藏高原东北缘密集宽频带野外流动观测台阵以及固定台站资料,利用双差层析成像方法对地震位置和研究区的地壳速度结构进行了反演.最终用于联合反演的地震事件合计9644个.结果显示青藏高原东北缘速度结构具有明显的横向不均匀性.从整体上看,青藏高原地区表现为低速异常,鄂尔多斯表现为高速异常,而扬子地块亦表现为高速异常.不同深度处速度结构表现不一致,同一深度处P波速度结构和S波速度结构也有明显差异.由西秦岭北缘断裂带、临潭—宕昌断裂以及礼县—罗家堡断裂围限的地震活动强烈的区域中,P波速度结构由深度0km时呈现的低速异常,逐渐过渡到5km时高低速相间分布的特征;而S波速度结构在此区域中,由近地表0km时高低速相间分布的特征,逐渐过渡到30km时几乎表现为低速异常.2017年8月8日九寨沟7级地震所在的塔藏断裂、岷江断裂和雪山断裂围限区域,在深度20km处的P波速度结构和周围存在明显差异,九寨沟地震处于高速异常与低速异常的过渡带内.此外,2013年7月22日发生在青藏高原东北缘的岷漳县6.6级地震,震源区所在的临潭—宕昌断裂附近的P波速度结构在15km深度处也有明显特征,震源位置所在区域也处于高低速过渡带.该区域这种地壳内部高低速过渡带可能是应力比较容易积累而发生中强地震的一个重要场所.
We applied the double difference tomography method to simultaneously invert the seismic event locations and the crustal structure of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau with the observations of a high-density temporary seismic array and permanent seismic stations.In total 9644 seismic events are selected for inversion.The results indicate that the velocity structure in the northeastern Tibetan plateau has obvious lateral heterogeneity.Overall,this plateau has lowvelocity anomalies,while the Ordos and Yangtze blocks have high-velocity anomalies.Thevelocity structures at different depths are variable,while the velocity structure of P-waves and Swaves at the same depth are also different.In the region with strong seismic activity enclosed by the faults,such as the West Qinling,Lintan-Dangchang and the Lixian-Luojiapu faults,the velocity structure of P-waves changes from low-velocity anomalies at depth 0 km into alternating high and low anomalies at depth 5 km.And in this region,the S wave velocity structure is characterized by the distribution of alternating high and low velocity anomalies at depth 0 km near the surface,and almost low-velocity anomalies at depth 30 km.There is a prominent anomaly of the P-wave velocity at depth 20 km beneath the area surrounded by the Minjiang,Tazang and Xueshan faults where the Jiuzhaigou M7 earthquake occurred on 8 August 2017.The hypocenter of this event is located in a transition zone between the high-and low-velocity anomalies.In addition,the Min-Zhang M_S6.6 earthquake of 22 July 2013 also took place in such a transition zone.Likely such a transition zone is relatively easy to accumulate stress,leading to occurrence of major earthquakes in this area.
