英文摘要 | Repeating microearthquakes (M<4) are recurrent ruptures at small fault patches, which provide in-situ information for studying the spatial variation and temporal evolution of subsurface deformation at seismogenic depth. In this study, we compiled a total of 76 repeating earthquake sequences occurring at major faults in the Sichuan-Yunnan region in southwest China. We then employed these sequences to estimate fault slip rates based on their sizes and recurrence intervals. The slip rates estimated at various parts of the study area are 4.3 similar to 5.4 mm . a(-1) at similar to 23 km deep along the Lijiang and Ninglang faults, 1.6 similar to 10.1 mm . a(-1) in the depth range of 3.0 similar to 12.3 km along the Xiaojiang fault, 2.3 similar to 10.0 mm . a(-1) at depths between 6.0 and 13.4 km along the northern segment of Honghe fault, 3.0 similar to 10.2 mm . a in the depth range of 3.0 similar to 18.7 km along the southern segment of Xianshuihe fault, 3.5 similar to 9.6 mm . a(-1) at depths between 4.0 and 17.3 km along the Longmenshan fault, and 5.8 similar to 10.2 mm . a(-1) in the depth range of 3.6 similar to 18.7 km at the southernmost Longmenshan fault. The observed slip rates among different faults are roughly in the similar range, which may reflect the characteristic of deformation within the Sichuan-Yunnan block and the Bayan Har block. Our results also showed that most of the repeating sequences tend to occur at the edge of asperities of strong earthquakes, suggesting a close spatial correlation between repeating microearthquakes and impending large devastating earthquakes. The slip rates estimated from deep sequences appears to systematically larger than those derived from shallow events. More importantly, there is a sudden acceleration in deep slip rate before strong earthquakes, which may suggest that the asperity is entering its meta-instable state. |
