摘要:

文中选用山西地区丰富的地震资料, 利用P波初动加振幅比方法, 计算得到山西中南部及邻省附近区域2009年以来rms≤0.45的314次中小地震的震源机制解。通过分析这些震源机制解参数, 得到了研究区现今构造应力场, 总体为NEE-SWW向的近水平挤压与NNW-SSE向的水平拉伸; 震源类型以正断、 走滑、 正走滑型为主, 兼有少量逆断型和逆走滑型, 且多位于临汾和长治一带。针对山西中南部分区的研究结果表明, 太原、 临汾、 运城和长治不同构造断陷区之间存在应力差异和震源类型差异, 该差异与太原和运城2个盆地处于山西地堑系的拉张扩展部位、 临汾盆地处于剪切部位相吻合, 是各区局部特殊的构造、 不同的地质环境和周围应力调整变化的体现。文中进一步探讨了在现今区域应力环境下, 这些构造区内中小地震活动的关联性, 认为目前山西南部可能是未来中等地震活动跃迁的重点区域, 需引起重视。

Abstract:

Studying the spatial variation characteristics of the tectonic stress field, the trend and micro-dynamic changes of seismic activity in the central and southern part of Shanxi Province is of great significance for exploring the tectonic deformation, seismic environment, stress interaction and dynamic transmission between different parts of the “S”-shaped Shanxi fault depression zone gradually tearing from south to north, and the rules of group transition of moderate earthquakes. It also has important reference value for reflecting the stress changes and seismic activity trends in the North China region. In this study, seismic waveform data with ML≥2.4 recorded by the Shanxi digital seismic network from January 2009 to August 2023 in the region of 34.3°N to 38.2°N and 111.0°E to 114.1°E were selected, and the source mechanism solutions of 314 minor to medium earthquakes with rms ≤0.45 were obtained using the P-wave first-motion polarity method. By analyzing the parameters of these earthquake source mechanism solutions, the spatial distribution characteristics of the source mechanisms and the zonal characteristics of the current tectonic stress field in the study area were obtained, and the correlation analysis of seismic activity in different zones was conducted, with the following specific understandings: 1)The current tectonic stress field in the central and southern part of Shanxi Province has a relatively stable stress orientation, with the overall characteristics of horizontal extension in the north-northwest-south-southeast direction and near-horizontal compression in the northeast-southwest direction, which is basically consistent with the tectonic stress field in North China; and the consistency of tensile stress is higher than that of compressive stress, indicating that regional overall extension is stronger than compression, and there also exists small-scale local unique and complex stress environments, such as the extensional stress in Changzhi Basin is nearly north-south, and compressive stress occurs in multiple directions such as northeast, east-northeast, and west-northwest; 2)The earthquake source types in the study area are mainly normal faulting, strike-slip, and normal strike-slip, with a small number of thrust and reverse strike-slip types. The earthquakes with reverse faulting type sources are the least prevalent in the Taiyuan area and are mainly concentrated in the Linfen, Changzhi, and Yuncheng areas south of 37°N, among which Linfen has the highest occurrence. This overall pattern is consistent with the extensional environment of the Shanxi region, and the local differences in earthquake source types are manifestations of the different local structures and geological environments, as well as the different surrounding stress influencing factors. 3)The ML≥4.0 earthquake activities in the Shanxi region show spatial north-south transitions and quasi-synchronous changes over time, forming characteristics of continuous group activities lasting about a year. During the period of seismic north-south jumping and alternating group triggering, the Changzhi area will also experience earthquakes of approximately ML3.0, often occurring concurrently with or preceding earthquakes in the Linfen area. Moreover, the seismic activity rhythms in the Yuncheng, Linfen, and Changzhi areas are more closely aligned, especially in the synchronicity between the Linfen and Changzhi areas, indicating a mutual carrying rhythm. This indicates that the Changzhi area is sensitive to stress. Combined with the increasing number of earthquakes of about ML3.0 in Changzhi area in recent years, the characteristics of more earthquake activities in the central and northern parts of Shanxi occurring in uplifted areas, and the new trends of earthquake activities in 2023, the initiation of a new round of ML 4 earthquake activities, it is believed that the earthquake risk in the southern part of Shanxi is relatively higher and should be given sufficient attention.
