By the model analysis and regional research, it is found that the seamount subduction along Ma- nila Trench does not lead to the erosion of the accretionary wedge and the oblique subduction actually is a NWW- trending obduction of Luzon micro-plate that results from the NWW-trending displacement of the Philippine Sea plate.展开更多

The results show that the direction of polarization of the fast S-wave gradually rotated from north by east to north by west before the Yongdeng earthquake and returned to north by east after the earthquake. Moreover, the time delay between the fast S wave and slow S wave increased to the largest until the earthquake occurred. On the other hand, the directions of geoelectrical principal axes also changed before earthquake, and exhibited identical characteristics in the frequency domain. The direction of the axis (pxy), which was originally perpendicular to the fault near station, varied from N17°to N15°before earthquake, and returned to north by east after the earthquake. Correspondingly, the change of pxy was most obvious in the period range of 160 s to 226 s, but the variation of pyx was less obvious. The focal mechanism solution of the earthquake showed that the direction of P-axis was N15°. Conclusions are: (1) The fast S-wave polarization, one of the geoelectrical principal axes and the P-axis were in agreement in orientation during earthquake preparation, which is the result of the alignment of EDA cracks; (2) The fact that the geoelectrical axes identically varied with frequency demonstrated that EDA is really widespread in the crust; (3) The variation of MT apparent resistivity also showed the existence of anisotropy and has its own features: The static anisotropy of resistivity is controlled by the tectonic conditions of the station, while the dynamic anisotropy is caused and affected by the seismic stress field; The resistivity along the axis parallel to the P-axis showed the most obvious variation, while the difference in variation with frequency shows that the variation of resistivity depends not only on direction but also on buried depth.展开更多
