震后应急野外考察表明，2008年5月12日汶川Ms8．0地震在青藏高原东缘龙门山推覆构造带上同时使北川-映秀断裂和灌县一江油断裂两条倾向NW的叠瓦状逆断层发生地表破裂。其中，沿北川-映秀断裂展布的地表破裂带长约240km，以兼有右旋走滑分量的逆断层型破裂为主，最大垂直位移6．2m，最大右旋走滑位移4．9m；沿灌县-江油断裂连续展布的地表破裂带长约72km，最长可达90km，为典型的纯逆断层型地表破裂，最大垂直位移3．5m；另外，在上述两条地表破裂带西部还发育着1条NW向带有逆冲垂直分量、左旋走滑性质的小鱼洞地表破裂带，长约6km。这一地表破裂样式是近期发生的特大地震中结构最复杂的一次逆断层型地表破裂，地表破裂的长度也最长。利用已有的石油地震剖面，结合余震分布和地表破裂带特征等资料构建的三维发震构造模型表明，龙门山推覆构造带现今和第四纪时期以地壳缩短为主，斜滑逆冲型地震表明青藏高原中东部的水平运动在华南地块与巴颜喀拉地块之间的龙门山推覆构造带上转化为地壳的缩短和隆升。

英文摘要：

Field investigations show that the Ms8.0 Wenehuan earthquake of 12^th May 2008 ruptured two NW-dipping imbricate reverse faults along the Longmenshan Fault zone at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. This earthquake generated a 240km long surface rupture along the Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault characterized by right-lateral oblique faulting and a 90km long surface rupture along the Guanx- ian-Jiangyou Fault characterized by dip-slip reverse faulting. Maximum vertical and horizontal dispacements of 6.2m and 4.9m,respectively,were observed along the Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault,whereas a maximum vertical displacement of 3.5m occurred along the Guanxian-jiangyou Fault. This co-seismic surface rupture pattern, involving multiple structures, is among the most complicated of recent great earthquakes. Its surface rupture length is the longest among the co-seismic surface rupture zones for reverse faulting events ever reported. Aftershocks recorded by local network clearly outline the hanging wall of the Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault and indicate that the fault clips about 47° to the west. Industry seismic lines,in addition to surface ruptures and aftershocks, allow us to build a 3D model for the rupture geometry that shows crustal shortening is the dominant process along the Longmen Shan to accommodate long-term deformation. Oblique thrusting accomplished by the earthquake indicates that the east-southeastward extrusion of Tibet Plateau accommodates, in part, the continuing penetration of the Indian plate into the Eurasian plate, and this extrusion is transformed at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau into crustal thickening and shortening along the Longmenshan Fault zone that is responsible for the growth of high topography in the region.
