英文摘要 | The Sichuan basin, located adjacent to the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, serves as an ideal marker for testing the extrusion process of the plateau. The basin is seismically active, with the strongest earthquake, the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, occurring in the Longmen Shan range along its northwestern edge. A new regional compilation of focal mechanism solutions of earthquakes in and surrounding the basin reveals that a large fraction of the events have focal depths ranging between 8 and 25 km, corresponding to the crystalline basement of the basin. Seismic deformation involves right-lateral oblique reverse faults, mostly trending northeast-southwest, similar to the kinematics of the mainshock of the Wenchuan earthquake. Shallow earthquakes (3-8 km) suggest that some of the seismic faults rupturing the crystalline basement are growing toward the surface. To the southwest, the seismicity transitions to activity along the left-lateral Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault zone. The spatial relationship between these two sets of fault zones is consistent with a model in which the Sichuan basin responds to the southeast extrusion of the Chuan-Dian block at the southeast margin of the plateau by a counterclockwise bookshelf rotation of the crystalline basement. This deformation pattern initiated similar to 4-2 Ma, as shown by the age of the Xiaojiang fault segment. The history of left-lateral movement along the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault can be traced back to similar to 12 Ma when the eastward growth of the Tibetan Plateau resulted in the shortening of both the Longmen Shan thrust belt and the sedimentary over the Sichuan basin. |
