简介:辽宁是历史地震资料比较缺乏的地区,深入研究历史疑难地震,尤其是确认一些破坏性地震,对补充已有的地震目录和开展地震预测及工程场地地震安全性评价有重要作用。在历史地震研究中认真考查,论证已有的地震史料是最主要的手段和方法。但是若能在此基础上,利用现代地震资料,按"地震重复"发生理论反推一些历史上可能存在的破坏性地震,也可以认为是对历史地震研究方法的一种补充。按照这一思路,本文在进一步分析地震史料的基础上,通过与现代地震活动图像和大地震震害现象的对比,确认辽宁地区1509年4月21日的地震是一次破坏性地震,并对1552年10月27日的地震做了讨论。
简介:2004年2月12日新疆维吾尔自治区于田县发生了Ms7.3级地震,其发震断裂为阿尔金断裂带西南段的贡嘎错断裂带.由于地处高山无人区,存在区域历史地震漏记,但1970年以来5级以上地震活动是完整的,近20年来强震活动增强.综合分析认为,2008年于田Ms7.3地震可能加速了本次地震的发生.根据经验统计关系估计,2014年于田地震的同震地表破裂为30-40km,最大水平位错量为1.0-1.5m,地震的复发周期为300-400年.通过阿尔金断裂上前人资料和区域构造的综合分析,认为2014年于田地震是在青藏高原向北东运动背景下左旋走滑的阿尔金断裂向南西端扩展的结果.
