Abstract

Earthquakes not only release seismic-wave energy, which decays eventually, but also give rise to permanent deformation in the Earth. This permanent deformation causes gravitational potential energy (GPE) change. Previous researches showed that the GPE change is a good indicator of extensional and compressional tectonics. In this paper, we first proposed an effective method to compute co-seismic GPE change for a SNREI (spherically symmetric Non-rotational Elastic Isotropic) Earth according to the point dislocation theory. This method is applicable to both shear and tensile earthquakes. We then applied this method to compute the contributions from earthquakes occurred over Tibetan plateau area from 1976 to 2013 to the crustal GPE change. The results show that earthquakes occurred in central and western part of Tibetan plateau caused the crustal GPE to decrease while those in eastern part caused it to increase, which correspond to extensional and compressional tectonic status, respectively, in this area. Furthermore, the impact of earthquakes occurred from 1999 to 2013 was larger than that of earthquakes occurred from 1976 to 1998.

同震重力势能变化及其构造意义&以青藏高原地区为例
地震不仅释放出最终会衰减的地震波能量,而且还会引起地球的永久变形。这种永久性变形引起重力势能(GPE)的变化。前人的研究表明,GPE的变化是一个很好的指示伸展和挤压构造的标志。本文首次提出了一种基于点位错理论计算球对称非旋转弹性各向同性地球同震GPE变化的有效方法。这种方法既适用于剪切地震,也适用于拉伸地震。应用该方法计算了1976 - 2013年青藏高原地区地震对地壳GPE变化的贡献。结果表明,青藏高原中部和西部地震使地壳GPE减小,东部地震使地壳GPE增大,分别对应于该地区的伸展和挤压构造状态。1999 - 2013年地震的影响大于1976 - 1998年地震的影响。
