位于滇西地区的红河断裂是中国最长的走滑断裂之一,具有很高的地震潜势。为了调查红河断裂的复杂结构,在滇西地区穿过红河深大断裂带完成了1条由云县至宁蒗近SN向长300km的宽角地震反射/折射剖面。结合初至波走时成像及正演建模方法,对该测线观测数据进行了一维、二维分析拟合,获得了该地区沿测线的二维地壳速度结构模型。结果显示:地壳P波平均速度为6.2~6.3km/s,基本呈现为1个均匀的正速度梯度结构,但在中地壳和下地壳不同区域有部分低速异常;沿测线Moho界面埋深存在较大的横向变化,自南向北明显变深,南侧Moho埋深约为45km,北侧Moho埋深可达54km,较之典型的大陆地壳,存在明显的增厚现象;而沿测线中上地壳厚度变化不大,地壳增厚主要缘于下地壳厚度的增加;以红河断裂为界,地壳结构存在明显的横向差异,暗示了红河断裂作为扬子准地台和三江地槽系构造边界的作用;测线穿过区域红河断裂两侧没有明显的Moho埋深变化,结合临近区域的其他研究结果,表明红河断裂在不同区段存在较大的差异。
The Red River Fault in western Yunnan is one of the longest strike-slip faults in China and has a high seismic potential. To investigate its complicated structure,a near-NS directed 300 km long wideangle reflection / refraction seismic profile was laid out from Yunxian to Ninglang,across the Red River Fault. The 2-D velocity structure model along the profile was obtained through 1-D and 2-D analysis and fitting the observed data with combination of first-arrival traveltime tomography and forward modeling. The results indicate: In the crust,the average P-wave velocity is 6.2 ~ 6.3km / s and basically shows a positive gradient structure,but there are some low velocity anomalies at different area in upper and lower crust. Regarding the crust boundary,a relative large lateral variation exists in the depth of Moho,which goes deeper from south to north,ranging from 45 km to as deep as 54km;compared to other typical continental crust,the study area demonstrates a striking thickening. It should be mentioned that the crustal thickening is mainly observed in the lower crust,while the upper and middle crust possess nearly constant thickness. We observed strong seismic velocity contrast across the Red River Fault,which emphasizes the role of the fault as an important tectonic boundary between Yangtze paraplatform and Sanjiang geosynclinal system. Along the profile,the Moho depth has no remarkable variation when crossing the Red River Fault. Combining with other study results on nearby area,it proves that there is notable heterogeneity between different parts of the Red River Fault.
