The research results show that there are deep tectonic background for occurring moderate earthquakes in Lingshi-Jiexiu region between Linfen and Taiyuan. From now on, the region should be attached closely.展开更多

The reliability of the inversion results has been confirmed by the features of regional tectonics, the distribution of geothermal gradient and the results of deep seismic sounding. By analyzing the deep geothermal field, it is concluded that the followings are the environmental conditions for the development and occurrence of earthquakes in the western marginal area of Sichuan Basin: (1) The collision of the Yangtze block with the Sichuan Qinghai block and Kangdian rhombic block has produced strong stress accumulation; and (2) Plastic creep in the middle lower crust owing to the upwelling of mantle flux has provided an adjusting unit for rock rupture and stress release.展开更多
