摘要: 同震地表破裂带的空间展布及形变特征是地球深部断层活动在地表的直观地貌表现,不但记录着地震破裂和断层运动的信息,还反映区域应力和地壳运动状况。因此,开展震后地震地表破裂带调查对于了解发震断层的构造活动尤为重要。高精度地形观测技术可以获取前所未有的高时空分辨率的地球表面特征,为辨别历史地震地表破裂遗迹、提取地表同震位移、活动构造地质填图等提供高质量数据。本文选取富蕴1931年地震地表破裂带作为研究区,利用SfM (Structural from Motion)摄影测量技术生成分辨率为1m的数字高程模型(DEM),详细识别地表破裂并测量冲沟的右旋位移。通过地表破裂的几何及构造地貌特征,将富蕴地震地表破裂带由北向南分为S1、S2、S3、S4四段,其间以挤压隆起或拉分盆地相连接。沿破裂带获得194组最新冲沟的右旋水平位移,得到1931年同震位移的平均值为(5.06±0.13)m。同震位移局部缺失或突变的区域与几何阶区的位置也有良好的对应关系。以上结果填补了对富蕴地震地表破裂精细形态研究的空白,也进一步展示高分辨率的地形数据在活动构造研究中的良好应用价值。

Abstract: The spatial distribution and deformation characteristics of the coseismic surface rupture zone are the direct geomorphological performance of the deep fault activities on the surface, which not only records the information of seismic rupture and fault movement but also reflects regional stress and crustal movement. Therefore, investigation for surface rupture zone after the earthquake is helpful to understand tectonic activities of the seismogenic fault. However, fieldwork is limited by hazardous environments and secondary disasters in the earthquake zone. High-precision geomorphological observation technology can obtain unprecedented high temporal and spatial resolution of the earth's surface features without being restricted by natural conditions, and provide high-quality data for identifying historical earthquake surface ruptures, extracting surface coseismic displacement, and geological mapping of active structures, which is helpful to understand the rupture processes deeply. The photogrammetric method based on SfM(Structure from Motion) technology provides an effective technical way for fast acquisition of high-resolution post-earthquake topographic data, which can obtain 3D geomorphic characteristics in a short time without the limitation of topography. Fuyun fault is located on the southwest edge of the Altai Mountains. Fuyun M8.0 earthquake occurred in 1931 and formed a coseismic surface rupture zone with obvious linear characteristics. It also developed a large number of right-lateral gully dislocation, extrusion uplifts, pull-apart basins, and a series of tectonic landforms related to strike-slip activities, which were still well preserved after several decades. In this study, the surface rupture zone of Fuyun 1931 earthquake is selected as the study area. Based on aerial photogrammetry SfM method, a digital elevation model (DEM) with a resolution of 1m is generated, which can reflect micro-structural geomorphology and is suitable for fine geomorphology research in a small area. Combined with the shadow and color change of DEM data, the surface deformation characteristics such as seismic cracks and seismic mole cracks are identified, the surface rupture tracks are drawn in detail, and the surface rupture zone of Fuyun earthquake is segmented through the distribution of its geometric and tectonic geomorphological features. Using gullies as geomorphological markers, the smallest regional offset is regarded as the coseismic offset in 1931. We finally identified the right-lateral horizontal offset of the gully along the rupture zone and measured it with software. The results show that the Fuyun earthquake surface rupture zone can be divided into 4 sections from north to south, among each of which has different lengths, connected by compression uplift or pull-apart basin. The main type of surface rupture is shear crack, and there are also have transpressional cracks, tension cracks, and tectonic geomorphological such as mole crack, ridge, and pull-apart basin. Based on the measurement of the horizontal offset of 194 groups of gullies, it is found that the average coseismic offset in 1931 is (5.06±0.13) m, which is equivalent to the coseismic offset produced by similar magnitude. The area where the local deletion or mutation of coseismic offset occurs also has a good corresponding relationship with the geometric order region, which reflects the location of the geometric order region to a certain extent. The results fill in the blank of the refined morphology of the Fuyun earthquake surface rupture and further demonstrate the good application value of high-resolution topographic data in the study of active structures.
