    摘要:

    基于USGS公布的地震信息,筛选了1980—2024年全球震级MW≥7.0的637次强震事件,通过文献调研统计了其中165次地震的震源参数。采用最小二乘法建立了不同断层类型下震源参数(包括断层长度L、断层宽度W、断层面积S、最大滑动量Dmax、平均滑动量D、破裂速度Vr、应力降△σ和破裂持续时间TR)与矩震级MW之间的经验关系。结果表明,三种断层类型(正断层、逆断层、走滑断层)下的断层破裂长度、宽度及面积与矩震级之间具有显著的线性关系;最大滑动量和平均滑动量与矩震级之间存在较强的相关性,相关系数在0.52~0.87之间;平均破裂速度和应力降与矩震级的关联性较弱;破裂持续时间与矩震级的相关性在逆断层和正断层地震事件中较为显著,而在走滑断层地震中相关性较弱。同时,本研究进一步分析了震源参数间的相互关系。研究表明,走滑型地震的长宽比较高,平均值为3.97;逆断层型和正断层型地震长宽比相对较小,平均值为2.05和2.43。最大滑动量与平均滑动量的比值集中在1.5~3.5之间,平均值为3.18,反映了地震破裂过程中滑动分布的显著不均匀性。应力降、平均破裂速度随震源深度的增加变化不大。

    Abstract:

    This study is based on seismic information published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and analyzes 637 global earthquakes with moment magnitude MW≥7.0 that occurred from 1980 to 2024. Through a comprehensive literature review, source parameter data were compiled for 165 of these events. Using the least-squares method, empirical relationships between moment magnitude and key seismic source parameters—including fault length (L), fault width (W), fault area (S), maximum slip (Dmax), average slip (D), average rupture velocity (Vr), stress drop (Δσ), and rupture duration (TR)—were established for different faulting mechanisms (normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults). The results demonstrate strong linear relationships between fault length, fault width, and fault area and moment magnitude across all three fault types. Maximum slip and average slip also show significant correlations with moment magnitude, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.52 to 0.87. In contrast, the relationships between average rupture velocity and stress drop and moment magnitude are relatively weak. The correlation between rupture duration and moment magnitude is more pronounced for reverse and normal fault earthquakes, but less evident for strike-slip events. In addition, this study investigates the interrelationships among seismic source parameters. The results indicate that strike-slip earthquakes exhibit a larger length-to-width ratio, with an average value of 3.97, whereas reverse and normal fault earthquakes show smaller ratios, averaging 2.05 and 2.43, respectively. The ratio of maximum slip to average slip is predominantly distributed between 1.5 and 3.5, with a mean value of 3.18, reflecting significant heterogeneity in slip distribution during the rupture process. Furthermore, both stress drop and average rupture velocity display limited dependence on source depth. These findings provide important constraints on the scaling behavior and rupture characteristics of large earthquakes worldwide.
