英文摘要The Longmenshan area in the eastern Tibetan Plateau experienced strong crustal deformation and faulting during Mesozoic and late Cenozoic epochs resulting in significant uplift of the Longmenshan Mountains, which serves as an important window to see the uplift and lateral expansion of the Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, the deep seismic sounding profile named the Aba-Longmenshan-Suning profile is reprocessed using a high-precision traveltime tomography for velocity structure with an irregular surface to reconstruct the crustal structure beneath this area. The obtained velocity structure along the profile could be divided into three major sections: the Songpan-Garze block, Longmenshan fault zone and Sichuan basin. The sedimentary cover of the Songpan-Garze block is about 10 km thick, with high-velocity bodies in 5-10 km depths, which correspond to the faults and likely the intrusion of Mesozoic granites. The undulating interface of the sediment may indicate the thrust-nappe tectonics. Velocity structures of the middle and lower crust change continuously with lower average velocity (about 6. 26 km . s(-1)). In the Sichuan basin, the sediment in the west is thicker than that in the west. The sediment in the west even exhibits compression and torsion forms, which may be caused by compression and erosion. The middle and lower crust in the west is thinner than that in the east with higher average velocity (about 6. 29 km . s(-1)). The Longmenshan fault zone is a transition zone of the crustal velocity and thickness, with the Moho uplifting about 13 km from the west to the east. Along the whole profile the Moho shows toughness winding, while the velocity of the middle and lower crust changes continuously in the lateral direction, which may indicate that the ancient Yangtze block has reached beneath the Songpan-Garze block. In the Songpan-Garze block, which is considered to be a passive margin, the middle and lower crust experienced ductile deformation under strong compression. The brittle upper crust with thrust-nappe belts is dragged by the middle and lower crust, while stress is accumulated and released on the faults, which may induce a large number of earthquakes.
