Abstract

ABSTRACT The Chilean subduction zone hosts Mw>8 earthquakes, which could trigger earthquakes on crustal faults located along the plate margin. Using synthetic earthquakes from a quasi-dynamic boundary element method model, we obtain traction fields and perform a slip tendency analysis to obtain synthetic faults, which we compare with existing potentially seismogenic crustal faults. With our results, we find geometric patterns of the highest slip tendency planes with deformations induced by synthetic subduction events, such that north of the rupture area of each event, correlate with normal N20°W–50°W/N60°SW fault planes, and to the south, correlate with normal N30°E–80°E/N60°NW faults planes. These observations agree with observed fault traces in central and northern Chile, and past observations of crustal fault reactivation.
智利俯冲带三维几何构造控制下的复杂地壳变形
智利俯冲带发生Mw>8级地震,可能引发沿板块边缘的地壳断层地震。利用准动态边界元法模型合成地震,获得了牵引场,并进行了滑动倾向分析,得到了合成断层,并与现有的潜在发震地壳断层进行了比较。研究结果表明,最高滑动倾向面与合成俯冲事件引起的变形具有几何特征,每次事件破裂区的北部与正常的N20°W - 50°W/N60°SW断裂面相关,而南部与正常的N30°E - 80°E/N60°NW断裂面相关。这些观测结果与在智利中部和北部观测到的断层痕迹以及过去对地壳断层再活动的观测结果一致。

期刊介绍: The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, commonly referred to as BSSA, (ISSN 0037-1106) is the premier journal of advanced research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines. It first appeared in 1911 and became a bimonthly in 1963. Each issue is composed of scientific papers on the various aspects of seismology, including investigation of specific earthquakes, theoretical and observational studies of seismic waves, inverse methods for determining the structure of the Earth or the dynamics of the earthquake source, seismometry, earthquake hazard and risk estimation, seismotectonics, and earthquake engineering. Special issues focus on important earthquakes or rapidly changing topics in seismology. BSSA is published by the Seismological Society of America.
