英文摘要 | We investigate the non-double-couple components of 224 M >= 3.0 earthquakes in the 2019 M(w)7.1 Ridgecrest sequence, which occurred on a complex fault system in the Eastern California Shear Zone. Full moment tensors are derived using waveform data from near-fault and regional stations with a generalized cut-and-paste inversion and 3-D velocity and attenuation models. The results show limited Compensated Linear Vector Dipole components, but considerable explosive isotropic components (5%-15% of the total moments) for approximately 50 earthquakes. Most of these events occur between the M(w)6.4 foreshock and 1 day after the M(w)7.1 mainshock and are mainly distributed around the rupture ends and fault intersections. The percentage of isotropic components is reduced considerably when data recorded by near-fault stations are not included in the inversions, highlighting the importance of near-fault data. The results suggest that high-frequency damage-related radiation and other local dilatational processes are responsible for the observed isotropic source terms. Plain Language Summary Earthquakes occur when rocks below the surface break and move rapidly. Deriving earthquake source mechanisms provides information on the involved physical processes. We examine source mechanisms of M >= 3.0 earthquakes in the 2019 M(w)7.1 Ridgecrest sequence, using waveforms from 39 near-fault and regional stations. Many earthquakes are found to have considerable isotropic radiation that is not expected for pure slip motion along faults. The isotropic radiation reflects motions normal to the faults that may be caused by complex fault geometry, transient fluid pressure effects, and generation of microcracks in the rupture zones. We systematically investigate the possibility of each mechanism by analyzing the spatiotemporal variations of events with considerable isotropic components. The results suggest that rock damage in the rupture zone likely provides a major contribution to the isotropic radiation. |
