利用川滇地震台网记录的3594次地震的71670个P波到时资料,研究了青藏高原东南部地壳和上地幔的三维P波速度结构。结果表明,松潘-甘孜和川滇地块的中下地壳存在显著的低P波速度(低Vp)异常。与此相反,高P波速度(高Vp)异常解决了在四川盆地的中,下地壳。我们的层析成像结果提供了地震证据的动力学模型下地壳流动。青藏高原中东部的下地壳流动与四川盆地的机械强度相接触,导致龙门山地区的应变积累。当应变能达到临界积累时,其突然释放导致了2008年汶川地震的发生。在北纬126 °以南地区的上地幔中观察到明显的低Vp异常。结合剪切波分裂的研究结果,我们认为软流圈物质的流动影响了上地幔的速度结构,并导致了扬子板块西南部的减薄。
We used 71670 P-wave arrival times from 3594 earthquakes recorded by the Sichuan and Yunnan seismic networks to determine the three-dimensional P-wave velocity structure in the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Our results show that prominent low P-wave velocity (low-Vp) anomalies exist in the mid- to lower crust of the Songpan-Ganze and Sichuan-Yunnan blocks. In contrast, a high P-wave velocity (high-Vp) anomaly is resolved in the middle and lower crust beneath the Sichuan Basin. Our tomographic results provide seismic evidence for a dynamic model of lower crustal flow. Ongoing lower crustal flow beneath the central and eastern Tibetan Plateau abuts against the mechanically strong Sichuan Basin resulting in accumulated strain in the Longmen Shan region. When a critical accumulation of strain energy was reached, its sudden release led to the occurrence of 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Pronounced low-Vp anomalies are observed in the uppermost mantle in the region south of ∼26°N. Combining these results with shear-wave splitting investigations, we suggest that the flow of asthenospheric material has impacted the velocity structure of the uppermost mantle and caused the thinning of the southwestern Yangtze Craton.
