摘要
通甸-巍山断裂属于红河断裂带的分支断裂,目前对该断裂中段的晚第四纪活动特征研究较少。野外地质地貌调查和年代学研究结果表明,通甸-巍山断裂中段是以右旋走滑运动为主,兼有张性正断的全新世活动断裂,其最新活动时代距今约2.2ka。晚更新世中晚期以来断裂中段平均水平滑动速率为1.25mm/a,全新世晚期以来垂直运动趋于增强。该研究不仅为该断裂的地震危险性评价工作提供了基础资料,而且有助于理解川滇菱形块体西南边界构造变形的空间分配特点。
The Tongdian-Weishan Fault is a branch of the Honghe Fault zone,which is the boundary between the Yangtze block and the Indo-China block. Due to the limited field conditions, the study of late Quaternary Fault activity on the mid-segment of this fault is lacking and presently the time of its newest faulting and the Quaternary slip rate are not clear. Our field investigations along the fault between the areas of Yangbi county and Xierhe river,by quantitative geomorphologic deformation measurement and dating of young terrace deposits,indicate that the mid-segment of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault is a Holocene dextral strike-slip fault with the component of normal slip and its newest faulting occurred at 2. 2ka BP.
The terrace T2 ,incised during mid-late period of late Pleistocene epoch, was offset by the midsegment of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault and its right-lateral and vertical displacements are 45m and 6m,respectively. The late-Holocene terrace T1 and the alluvial fan were also displaced with the rightlateral and vertical displacement of 12m and 2m,respectively.
The strike-slip rate of the mid-segment of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault is 1.25mm/a since midlate period of late Pleistocene epoch. The vertical rate becomes obviously stronger from 0.17mm/a of 36 - 2.2ka BP to 0.91 mm/a of 2.2ka BP to the present and this tendency is coherent to the character of vertical movement of Northwest Yunnan during the Holocene epoch.
The strike-slip rate of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault is only a quarter of the rate of the Zhongdian Fault and Honghe Fault. It may indicate that the pull-apart basins between the Zhongdian Fault zone and Honghe Fault zone,east of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault, absorbed most of the deformation on the southwestern boundary of Sichuan-Yunnan rhombus block, and the Tongdian-Weishan Fault and its pull-apart basins are tributary to this deformation process.
This study on the mid-segment of the Tongdian-Weishan Fault will be beneficial not only to provide the elementary data for seismic hazard assessment
