SUMMARY The Central Marmara Sea region hosts the northwestern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) with its known seismic gap between the 1912 Ganos (Mw 7.2) and 1999 Izmit (Mw 7.4) major devastating earthquakes and thus poses a significant seismic hazard potential for the megacity Istanbul. The 26 September 2019 Mw 5.7 Silivri High-Kumburgaz Basin (central Marmara Sea) earthquake ruptured a thrust fault with a minor strike-slip component at the north of the eastern end of this gap relatively in the shallow depth (h= 8 km) range. Thus, in this study, we examine source properties of the main shock activity and coseismic behaviour of the failure, and the pattern of post-seismic deformation based on the aftershock distribution to have an insight into the role of the subsidiary and main fault structures on the crustal kinematics along this complicated branch of the NAFZ. The relocated epicentres are aligned in the E–W direction and tend to propagate towards the segments to the east of the main shock. The detected aftershock activity appears to focus on the east side of the main shock and almost no seismic activity was observed to the west of the epicentre. Independent investigations from coda-wave fitting, point-source, and finite-fault slip modelling agree on the moment magnitude of Mw5.7 for the 26 September 2019 main shock. The kinematic rupture model of this event implied that the main rupture nucleated around the hypocentre, and then propagated bilaterally along the E–W direction but with significant progress towards the east. The distribution of the slip vectors indicates that the rupture evolved on a dextral thrust fault plane. The spatio-temporal behaviour of the overall aftershocks sequence, their focal mechanism solutions and our kinematic slip model clearly shows that the existing secondary structures developed in simple shear dextral deformation are likely responsible for the main shock activity. We conclude that such type of deformation model results in a motion in response to the thrust faulting with strike-slip component with an N89°W (271°) orientation and 33°NE dipping at left stepover transpressional region on the NAFZ.

2019 年 9 月 26 日 Mw 5.7 Silivri High-Kumburgaz 盆地地震的震源特征和地震构造意义及其在北安纳托利亚断裂带(土耳其西北部马尔马拉海中部)的余震评估

总结 马尔马拉海中部地区是北安纳托利亚断裂带 (NAFZ) 的西北分支,已知其在 1912 年加诺斯 (Mw 7.2) 和 1999 年伊兹米特 (Mw 7.4) 重大破坏性地震之间的地震间隙,因此具有重大的地震危险性对于大城市伊斯坦布尔。2019 年 9 月 26 日 Mw 5.7 Silivri High-Kumburgaz 盆地(马尔马拉海中部)地震在该间隙东端的北部相对较浅的深度(h = 8 km)范围内破裂了一个带有轻微走滑分量的逆冲断层. 因此,在这项研究中,我们检查了主要冲击活动的源属性和故障的同震行为,以及基于余震分布的震后变形模式,以深入了解次要和主要断层结构对沿 NAFZ 这个复杂分支的地壳运动学的作用。重新定位的震中沿东西方向排列,并倾向于向主震以东的分段传播。检测到的余震活动似乎集中在主震的东侧,在震中以西几乎没有观察到地震活动。来自尾波拟合、点源和有限断层滑动模型的独立调查一致认为 2019 年 9 月 26 日主震的矩震级为 Mw5.7。该事件的运动破裂模型暗示主要破裂在震源周围成核,然后沿东西方向双向传播,但向东有显着进展。滑动矢量的分布表明破裂是在右旋逆冲断层面上演化的。整个余震序列的时空行为、它们的震源机制解和我们的运动滑移模型清楚地表明,在简单剪切右旋变形中形成的现有二级结构可能是主震活动的原因。我们得出的结论是,这种类型的变形模型会导致逆冲断层发生运动,该逆冲断层具有 N89°W(271°)方向和 33°NE 倾角的走滑分量,在 NAFZ 左跨压压区倾斜。滑动矢量的分布表明破裂是在右旋逆冲断层面上演化的。整个余震序列的时空行为、它们的震源机制解和我们的运动滑移模型清楚地表明,在简单剪切右旋变形中形成的现有二级结构可能是主震活动的原因。我们得出的结论是,这种类型的变形模型会导致逆冲断层发生运动,该逆冲断层具有 N89°W(271°)方向和 33°NE 倾角的走滑分量,在 NAFZ 左跨压压区倾斜。滑动矢量的分布表明破裂是在右旋逆冲断层面上演化的。整个余震序列的时空行为、它们的震源机制解和我们的运动滑移模型清楚地表明,在简单剪切右旋变形中形成的现有二级结构可能是主震活动的原因。我们得出的结论是,这种类型的变形模型会导致逆冲断层发生运动,该逆冲断层具有 N89°W(271°)方向和 33°NE 倾角的走滑分量,在 NAFZ 左跨压压区倾斜。他们的震源机制解和我们的运动滑移模型清楚地表明,在简单剪切右旋变形中形成的现有二级结构可能是主要冲击活动的原因。我们得出的结论是,这种类型的变形模型会导致逆冲断层发生运动,该逆冲断层具有 N89°W(271°)方向和 33°NE 倾角的走滑分量,在 NAFZ 左跨压压区倾斜。他们的震源机制解和我们的运动滑移模型清楚地表明,在简单剪切右旋变形中形成的现有二级结构可能是主要冲击活动的原因。我们得出的结论是,这种类型的变形模型会导致逆冲断层发生运动,该逆冲断层具有 N89°W(271°)方向和 33°NE 倾角的走滑分量,在 NAFZ 左跨压压区倾斜。
