我们报道了一个罕见的例子,一个蠕动断层对附近巨型断裂的地震周期的抗震反应。利用干涉合成孔径雷达(InSAR)探测和分析了智利北部Mejilones半岛两条地壳断裂的浅层蠕变,该断裂位于2007年MW7.7级托科皮拉俯冲地震的上盘。我们生成了两个独立的地表形变时间序列,时间跨度为∼3.5年的晚震间和∼1.5年的早期震后形变与此事件相关。分析揭示了Mejillones断层上的蠕动,以及Mejillones断层以西以前未绘制的断层上的蠕动。由这些数据得到的InSAR形变图和分布滑动模型表明,断层蠕变在震间和震后期间是反向的。考虑到震间形变和同震形变引起的区域应力场扰动,我们认为观测到的浅层蠕变及其滑移反转与大地震旋回有直接联系。此外,从两条断裂相似的向东倾角和相反的滑动方向,我们推断断裂强度一定很低,运动受与下伏大断裂上的地震旋回有关的地壳挠曲控制。
We report on a rare example of aseismic response of a creeping fault to the earthquake cycle of a nearby megathrust. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is used to detect and analyze shallow creep of two crustal faults at Mejilones Peninsula, Northern Chile, located in the hanging wall of the 2007 Mw 7.7 Tocopilla subduction earthquake. We generate two independent time series of surface deformation spanning ∼3.5yr of late interseismic and ∼1.5yr early postseismic deformation associated with this event. The analysis reveals creep on the Mejillones fault as well as on a previously unmapped fault to the west of the Mejillones fault. The InSAR deformation maps and distributed slip models obtained from the data reveal that fault creep reversed between the interseismic and postseismic periods. Given the regional stress field perturbations due to interseismic and coseismic deformation, we argue that the observed shallow creep and its slip reversal are directly linked to the megathrust seismic cycle. Moreover, from similar eastward dips but opposite slip directions of the two faults, we infer that fault strength must be very low and that the kinematics is controlled by crustal flexure associated with the seismic cycle on the underlying megathrust.
