- Abstract:
-
In order to accurately determine the focal depth of the Xiahe,Gansu MS5.7 earthquake,we used the broadband waveforms from Qinghai Seismic Networks,Gansu Seismic Networks and Sichuan Seismic Networks to invert the focal mechanism of this earthquake on the basis of Cut-and-Paste(CAP)method and the regional velocity model.We further delimited the earthquake's depth by the time-reversal imaging technique.We find that this earthquake is a thrust and strike slip one,and its focal depth is about 5 km.And its seismogenic fault is the Xiahe fault,which is newly discovered by remote sensing interpretation and field investigation,i.e.the planeⅠ(strike 305°/dips 52°/rake 50°)could be the seismogenic fault.
