简介：在2014年10月2日乌兰5.1级地震震源机制和柴达木盆地的构造动力学特征讨论基础上,认为该地震的发震构造为柴达木盆地南缘断裂带。由于该次地震的破裂面倾角相对较陡,矩心深度也相对较深,可能反映出发震构造在浅部的倾角较缓,到了深部有所变陡。结合历史地震和特殊构造特点,综合分析认为：乌兰5.1级地震后,未来应特别关注南祁连构造带和柴达木盆地南缘断裂带西北段的茫崖油沙山断裂的中强地震活动。

简介：2004年2月12日新疆维吾尔自治区于田县发生了Ms7.3级地震,其发震断裂为阿尔金断裂带西南段的贡嘎错断裂带.由于地处高山无人区,存在区域历史地震漏记,但1970年以来5级以上地震活动是完整的,近20年来强震活动增强.综合分析认为,2008年于田Ms7.3地震可能加速了本次地震的发生.根据经验统计关系估计,2014年于田地震的同震地表破裂为30-40km,最大水平位错量为1.0-1.5m,地震的复发周期为300-400年.通过阿尔金断裂上前人资料和区域构造的综合分析,认为2014年于田地震是在青藏高原向北东运动背景下左旋走滑的阿尔金断裂向南西端扩展的结果.
