Abstract The equatorial eastern Indian Ocean hosts a diffuse plate boundary, where widespread deformation accommodates the relative motion between the Indian, Australian and Capricorn sub-plates. We integrate IODP Expedition 362 borehole data, which for the first time provides an accurate, ground-truthed chronostratigraphy of the sedimentary sequence east of the Ninety East Ridge (NER), with 2D seismic reflection profiles and multibeam bathymetry to assess the styles of faulting between the NER and the Sunda subduction zone, timing of activity and comparison with physical and rheological properties. We identify four distinct fault sets east of the NER in the northern Wharton Basin. N-S (350-010°) orientated faults, associated with the N-S fracture zones formed at the now extinct Wharton spreading centre, are still active and have been continuously active since at least 10 Ma. NNE- and WNW-trending fault fabrics develop between the fracture zones. The orientations and likely sense of displacement on these three sets of faults defines a Riedel shear system responding to ∼NNE-SSW left-lateral strike-slip activity at depth, demonstrated by the recent 2012 great intraplate earthquakes. We also find evidence of ∼NE-SW reverse faults, similar in style to E-W reverse faults observed west of the NER, where reverse faulting is more dominant. We show that the activity of this strike-slip system increased ca. 7-9 Ma, contemporaneous with reverse faulting and intraplate deformation west of the NER.

沃顿盆地分布变形的完整结构模型和运动学历史

摘要 赤道东印度洋拥有一个扩散板块边界,在那里广泛的变形适应了印度、澳大利亚和摩羯座亚板块之间的相对运动。我们整合了 IODP Expedition 362 钻孔数据,该数据首次提供了九十东脊 (NER) 以东沉积层序的准确、真实的年代地层学,以及 2D 地震反射剖面和多波束测深,以评估之间的断层类型NER 和巽他俯冲带、活动时间以及与物理和流变特性的比较。我们在沃顿盆地北部的 NER 以东确定了四个不同的断层组。NS(350-010°)定向断层,与在现已灭绝的沃顿扩张中心形成的 NS 断裂带相关,仍然活跃,并且至少从 10 Ma 开始一直活跃。断裂带之间发育 NNE 和 WNW 向断层结构。这三组断层的方向和可能的位移感定义了一个里德尔剪切系统,该系统对深部~NNE-SSW 左侧走滑活动做出响应,最近的 2012 年板内大地震证明了这一点。我们还发现了 ∼NE-SW 反向断层的证据,其风格类似于在 NER 以西观察到的 EW 反向断层,其中反向断层更占优势。我们表明该走滑系统的活动增加了大约。7-9 Ma,与 NER 以西的逆断层和板内变形同时发生。这三组断层的方向和可能的位移感定义了一个里德尔剪切系统,该系统对深部的∼NNE-SSW 左侧走滑活动做出响应,最近的 2012 年板内大地震证明了这一点。我们还发现了 ∼NE-SW 反向断层的证据,其风格类似于在 NER 以西观察到的 EW 反向断层,其中反向断层更占优势。我们表明该走滑系统的活动增加了大约。7-9 Ma,与 NER 以西的逆断层和板内变形同时发生。这三组断层的方向和可能的位移感定义了一个里德尔剪切系统,该系统对深部的∼NNE-SSW 左侧走滑活动做出响应,最近的 2012 年板内大地震证明了这一点。我们还发现了~NE-SW 反向断层的证据,其风格类似于在 NER 以西观察到的 EW 反向断层,其中反向断层更占优势。我们表明该走滑系统的活动增加了大约。7-9 Ma,与 NER 以西的逆断层和板内变形同时发生。其中反向故障更占优势。我们表明该走滑系统的活动增加了大约。7-9 Ma,与 NER 以西的逆断层和板内变形同时发生。其中反向故障更占优势。我们表明该走滑系统的活动增加了大约。7-9 Ma,与 NER 以西的逆断层和板内变形同时发生。
