Preliminary study of the tectonic structure and seismogenic environment of the M4.7 Feidong earthquake sequence on September 18, 2024 in HefeiKey points

open access: yesEarthquake Science
At 20:08, on September 18, 2024, an M4.7 earthquake occurred along the Tanlu fault zone in the Feidong County of Hefei, Anhui Province. This earthquake is the largest event in the modern history of Hefei, which caused substantial social impact. To reveal

Deep Tectonic Environment Analysis of the Lingshan Conjugate Earthquake within the Qinzhou Fold Belt, South China: Insights Derived from 3D Resistivity Structure Model

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The Qinzhou fold belt, situated at the contact zone between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in South China, was affected by the 1936 Lingshan M6¾ earthquake and the 1958 Lingshan M5¾ earthquake, both of which occurred within the conjugate structure ...

Distinct triggering mechanisms of the 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Despite advancements in understanding the rupture processes and surface deformations of the 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet, their seismogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we employed a joint tomographic method utilizing 215,906 P- and S-wave arrival

How Accretionary Prisms Elucidate Seismogenesis in Subduction Zones

open access: yes, 2007
Earthquakes occur along the plate-boundary thrusts underlying accretionary prisms and along out-of-sequence thrusts that cut through prisms. Thermal models suggest that the earthquakes on the plate-boundary thrusts initiate in a temperature range of ...

GREAT EARTHQUAKE PRODUCTION SENSITIVITY TO DOWNDIP LIMIT OF SEISMOGENIC ZONE DETERMINATION USING 2.5D FINITE DIFFERENCE COMPUTER MODELING

open access: yes, 2018
The occurrence of great earthquakes, larger than magnitude 8.5 Mw, do not occur at every subduction zone. In this study, we set out to determine if one cause of this is due to the downdip limit of some seismogenic zones not being sufficiently deep to ...

Accurate hypocentre determination in the seismogenic zone of the subducting Nazca Plate in northern Chile using a combined on-/offshore network

open access: yes, 2017
The coupled plate interface of subduction zones—commonly called the seismogenic zone—has been recognized as the origin of fatal earthquakes. A subset of the after-shock series of the great Antofagasta thrust-type event (1995 July 30; Mw= 8.0) has been ...

Constraining the Spatial Extent of Strain Localization at the Base of the Seismogenic Zone: A Case Study from the Sandhill Corner Shear Zone, Maine, USA

open access: yes, 2017
Knowledge of the structure and processes of strain localization at the base of the seismogenic zone can provide constraints on the rheologic evolution of shear zones at depth and the spatial extent that seismicity influences the surrounding rock.
