Abstract:

A notable swarm occurred in Rushan, Shandong Peninsula and its activities continue since Oct. 2013 till now. Up to Sept. 30, 2014, more than 7 000 events have been recorded, in which locatable shocks exceed 2000, and 18 events with ML≥3.0. The swarm is rarely seen in East China for its extraordinary duration time and surprising high frequency of aftershocks. 18 temporary seismometers have been deployed around the swarm since May 6, 2014, and composed a seismic array for monitoring the swarm activities. Based on data from permanent networks and temporary array, we relocated the earthquake sequence by using hypoDD method. It has been shown that, there is obvious difference between permanent network results and temporary array results. The permanent network of Shandong has a relative large coverage gap(more than 200°)for this swarm. Its location results therefore should not be reliable. There are maybe other errors in the permanent network result due to some problems in the raw data, such as too few stations for most locatable events(3 stations), and relative lower proportion of located events in final result(74.3%, while 95.1% in temporary array result). It can be found by comparing location results from permanent network and temporary array that, using temporary array's data can improve the location accuracy significantly. The results of temporary array are: aftershocks distribution of Rushan swarm is in NWW direction, the dip-direction of fitted fault plane is SW, and the strike and dip angle agree with focal mechanism of the mainshock. Focal depths of aftershocks are at 4.5~8km; the swarm is restricted in a small area about 3km×3km×1km, and has some characteristics such as clustering, staged activities, and etc; the aftershock activities are in accord with crack growth behavior pattern, hence we deduced that there may be fluid intrusion in source area. Finally, we discussed the seismogenic structures and active mechanisms of this swarm combined with relative geologic knowledge. We draw some conclusions as follows: 1)Rushan swarm probably occurred at the boundary of rock bodies of Duogu Mountain and Haiyangsuo super-unit; 2)The seismogenic structure is a blind fault, which should be a part of adjacent Heishankuang-Jilincun Fault, or might be a new fault at rock body boundaries; 3)Rushan swarm might be an evidence for the existence of the disputed Shidao Fault.

摘要:

山东乳山地区自2013年10月起发生震群活动, 并且持续至今(2014年10月); 截至2014年9月30日, 共记录到余震7 000多次, 其中可定位事件2 000多次, ML≥3.0的18次, 其持续时间、活动频度为1970年以来华东地区罕见。2014年5月6日起, 陆续在现场布设了18个流动台, 持续对序列活动进行观测。基于固定台网和流动台阵的资料, 使用双差方法对地震序列进行重新定位。结果显示, 流动台阵定位结果与固定台网结果存在较大差别, 由于数据本身的问题, 固定台网结果可能存在一定的偏差。流动台阵精定位结果显示, 乳山震群的余震呈NWW向展布, 倾向SW, 与震源机制解结果一致; 余震震源深度较浅, 4.5~8km; 余震主要集中在3km×3km×1km很小的范围内密集活动, 并且具有阶段性、丛集性的特点, 余震活动符合裂纹扩展模式, 可能存在流体触发因素。最后结合有关地质资料对此次乳山震群的发震构造、性质以及震群的活动机理进行了探讨。
