臺灣博碩士論文加值系統

我們使用臺灣中央氣象局地震觀測網地震目錄的343,581地震與2,640個地震震源機制解，用以描繪臺灣地震頻率規模分布與地震b值之空間變化，研究其與斷層錯動類型與地殼應力型態的相關性。地震b值的估計結果顯示，在95％的信賴區間內，各類震源機制的地震b值顯然存在著明顯的差異，逆斷層b值最低(0.82±0.02)，走向滑移斷層b值居於中間(0.89±0.03)，正斷層b值最高(1.03±0.09)，所得結果與全球和其他區域得到相當一致的地震觀察結果。
我們估算臺灣三種震源機制型態的地震b值結果顯示，具有非常顯著的差異，其中逆斷層錯動型態的震源機制具有最低的的地震b值，走向滑移斷層錯動型態具有中間值，正斷層錯動型態具有最高的地震b值，這個結果與全球性或區域性地震活動的相關研究都有很好的一致性。在地震b值的側向分布研究顯示，其與主要的斷層錯動機制、地殼變形及應力型態都有非常良好的相關性。臺灣在強大的東西向縮短與差異應力作用下，造成在東臺灣和西臺灣的兩個南北走向的逆衝斷層帶，其具有較低的地震b值；在中臺灣狹長南北向的山脈內或山脈間，受到較小的拉張應力作用，主要受到走向滑移和正斷層作用，其具有較高的地震b值。在地震b值的深度分布研究顯示，地震b值隨深度單調遞減至大約於15-20公里深度終止， 顯示地震b值與應力呈現反比關係，並且證實在臺灣造山帶底下具有弱質中部地殼，並存在一層脆塑性的轉變帶。
簡言之，本研究首先驗證在臺灣造山帶之地震b值與斷層錯動型態及地殼應力同樣具有通用的對應相關。區域地震b值的變化與地殼變形及應力架構的良好相關性，充分顯現了區域的震源構造特性。隨震源深度變化的地震b值顯示，臺灣底下的弱質中部地殼，在約15-20公里深度，存在一層脆塑性的轉換帶。

We analyze 343,581 earthquakes and 2,640 focal mechanisms from reprocessed CWB event catalog of Taiwan to map spatial variations of their frequency-magnitude distribution, i.e., b-value, and explore its possible dependence on faulting type and stress pattern within the crust in and around Taiwan. The b values estimated from three basic faulting types of the seismicity in the entire investigation region show significant differences in a 95% confidence interval, with the lowest of 0.82±0.02 for thrust, the intermediate of 0.89±0.03 for strike-slip, and the highest of 1.03±0.09 for normal events, which are consistent with those observed for worldwide and regional seismicity.
We investigate the correlation of the earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution with the style of faulting and stress in Taiwan. The b-values estimated for three types of focal mechanisms show significant differences with the lowest for thrust, intermediate for strike-slip, and highest value for normal events, consistent with those found in global and other regional seismicity. Lateral distribution of the b-values shows a good correlation with the predominant faulting mechanism, crustal deformation and stress patterns. The two N-S striking thrust zones in western and eastern Taiwan under the larger E-W shortening and differential stress yield the lower b-values than those in the in-between mountain ranges subject to the smaller extensional stress and dominated by strike-slip and normal faults. The termination of the monotonically decreasing b-value with depth at ~15-20 km corroborates its inverse relationship with stress and the existence of the brittle-plastic transition in the weak middle crust beneath the Taiwan orogen.
In summary, general dependence of the b-value with the style of faulting and stress is first verified in the Taiwan orogen. Regional b-value variations correlate well with the crustal deformation and stress regimes manifested from the local tectonics. The depth-varying b-value reveals the brittle-plastic transition at ~15-20 km and a weak middle crust under Taiwan.
