- Abstract:
-
The seismicity in Yunnan is related with the strong earthquake activities in its surrounding areas because of their “joint structures and homologic driving forces” .So,study of the earthquake evolution and the seismogenic structures in the vicinity will help predict the earthquakes in Yunnan.On November 24,2021,the Laos MS6.0 earthquake occurred near the Zhengdong fault in Southwest Yunnan.Its focal mechanism reveals that the earthquake is a strike-slip fracture event.The rupture extends in consistent with the regional tectonic trend.The Laos MS6.0 earthquake sequence is a typical foreshock-mainshock-aftershock sequence.The foreshock sequence has abundant MS3.0 and MS4.0 earthquakes.According to the parameters of the foreshock sequence,before the main shock the calculated b-value fluctuates with large amplitude,and h-value has an upward trend.On the other hand,in the aftershock sequence,variation of b-value and h-value is relatively stable.In addition,the coseismic Coulomb stress caused by the MS6.0 mainshock may have a stress-loading effect on Yunnan region.
