宁夏地区的震源机制与应力场

FOCAL MECHANISM AND STRESS FIELD OF NINXIA REGION

摘要:

本文利用宁夏地震台网观测资料,讨论了宁夏区内七个地区的区域应力场,并且给出了16次中强地震的震源机制解。结合大地形变测量资料分析认为,宁夏北部银川平原的区域应力场以北北东方向的主压应力占优势。宁夏南部西(吉)、海(原)、固(原)地区的区域应力场以北东方向的主压应力占优势。南部和北部两区域的分界带在中卫、中宁一线。中卫附近的主压应力方位为165°,与其南部、北部地区都不相同。本文研究结果认为,现今宁夏构造应力场的格局与印度板块和太平洋板块的共同作用有关,其中印度板块的推挤起主导作用。

Abstract:

Basing upon the date of seismological observations, this paper has discussed the stress field of seven zones of Ninxia region and has given the focal mechanism solutions of sixteen moderate earthquakes. According to the crustal deformation, the stress fields of the region are mainly subjected to a strong NE-NEE compressive stress. The stress field is controlled by the joint action of the Indian and Pacific plates, and the former plays the major function.
