- Abstract:
-
Based on the temperature observation data of the water in Maoya,Litang spring over the 46 years,we analyze temperature dynamic variation characteristics of Maoya,Litang spring,and anomaly characteristics before the Yangbi MS6.4 earthquake combined with regional hydrogeology,hydrogeochemistry,meteorology data.Further on,we discuss the probable anomaly mechanism of the spring water.The results show that there are differences in the amplitude of temperature anomaly at different background temperatures.Since 2009,the hot spring has changed from a medium-high temperature to a low-temperature one,and the abnormal threshold has been reduced from the original 8 ℃ to 6 ℃.The Maoya spring is located at the junction of three active faults belonging to the Litang Fault Zone and it is characterized by deep circulation,thus spring's temperature can reflect deep crustal or mantel fluid information and is sensitive to the regional tectonic activity related to earthquakes.The observed temperature of this spring shows abnormal characteristics before mid-strong earthquakes which occurred in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau,and the dominant earthquake-prone area is the southwestern part of the Sichuan-Yunnan Block.
