The Teregtiin segment oriented N160, is characterized by a right lateral motion at the south west of the Bolnay fault. Recorded seismicity in the BolnayTsetserleg region. Theorie der automatischen Seismographen. To minimize this problem, we applied the coefficients of the predictive filter obtained from the signal after the gap, to the signal before the gap. The observed surface ruptures are about 130 km long. The local velocity model used was one simple half-space crustal model with Vp = 6 km s1Vs = 3.46 km s1 density = 2.75 g cm3. Bourls D.L. A view from the W. Photo by R.A. Kurushin (1976). (23.2 miles), 1927-05-22 22:32:49 UTC Nevertheless, the important mass of the Wiechert (1000 kg) limits its impact. This catastrophic event in 1905 was an exception. Okal (1977) proposed a rupture propagating eastwards along a fault oriented EW. In the case of western Mongolia the crust is thick (50 5 km; Villaseor et al. This article about an earthquake in Asia is a stub. Western Mongolia. The Bulnay earthquake of 23 July 1905 (Mw8.38.5), in northcentral Mongolia, is one of the worlds largest recorded intracontinental earthquakes and one of four great earthquakes that occurred in the region during the twentieth century. A left lateral movement characterizes its northeastern part with a reverse component dipping to the northwest. Two of them are particularly interesting (Fig. (86.2 miles), 1933-02-13 02:49:16 UTC Epicenter at 51.708, 95.991 TY - JOUR. Thus we needed a longer source history. This Mongolia-related article is a stub. Aviles C.A. 176.2 km from (90.2 miles), 1967-01-05 00:14:41 UTC With the data from 1905 available to them in 1957, and encouraged by the new interest in eastern Siberia by political leaders, geologists began to study the GobiAltai region in greater detail than had ever been previously attempted. For the Bolnay earthquake, the seismic moment vary from 3.97 (0.47) 1021 to 7.27 (0.40) 1021 N m functions of the model considered. The solid friction reduces the amplification factor functions of the natural period of the instrument, the signal frequency and the recorded amplitude. In consequence, it is possible for very large earthquakes to break under the seismogenic zone. The 375-km-long surface rupture of the left-lateral, strike-slip, N095E trending Bulnay Fault associated with this earthquake is remarkable for its strong . Therefore, we use all available information (observed surface ruptures, main regional tectonic features, crust and lithosphere structure, etc.) On July 9, 1905, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 occurred in the Gobi-Altai region of southwestern Mongolia, close to the Chinese border. The earthquake has been estimated at 7.9[3][4] to 8.3[1] on the moment magnitude scale. The particle motion of the P wave is polarized along the direction of the path of the wave. 2002). The paper was placed on a cylinder of 6 cm in diameter, which is coupled to a driving system, and stretched by an aluminium cylinder at its bottom. On the other hand, the Tsetserleg ruptures change in direction near the Tesiin River, where there are structures with EW extension and NS compression, suggesting a 1 oriented NS. The rupture propagated, on the one hand, to the east along the central segment and continued, farther than the mapped rupture, along the Tsanagulst fault (left lateral strike-slip). We verified the stability of the linear prediction by changing the length of the signal used in the filter. Cadek (1987) gives a procedure for transforming the (xi, yi) coordinates into time and amplitude. Your email address will not be published. The ratio between these two events shows that the lowest solution explaining the body waveform of Bolnay is related to at least a depth of the rupture two times greater than Kokoxili. Three cases have been explored: (1) nucleation and rupture in the seismogenic layer; (2) nucleation in the seismogenic layer with rupture propagation down to the base of the crust and (3) nucleation at the interface between the crust and the upper mantle with rupture propagation under the crust.

Epicenter at 45.136, 94.034 Epicenter at 47.264, 89.859 It is a reverse fault with a right lateral component, oriented N135 and dipping between 50 and 70 to the NE. The Dngen rupture broke about 24 s after the nucleation. Theres never any convenient time for any. The new interest in the GobiAltai Region enabled the geological societies of Russia, China, and Mongolia to work together in the investigation of the 1957 earthquake when it struck. Every donation will be highly appreciated. (1992) and McBride (1995) observed from seismic profiles that strike-slip faults can cut the Moho. Thus we favour the eastward propagation as proposed by Okal (1977).

The nucleation of the Bolnay earthquake was at the intersection between the main fault (375 km left lateral strike-slip) and the Teregtiin fault (N160, 80 km long right lateral strike-slip with a vertical component near the main fault). At that time very little was known or documented about geological changes in that part of the world. This manual step is irreplaceable because no automatic process can separate intersecting traces, despite the recent development of related software (Pintore et al. In general, each segment measures several tenths of kilometres, and in the case of Bolnay, they are very linear. 1995; Schlupp 1996) and displacements associated to the Bolnay earthquake (1905 July 23). . The second criterion, (2), was used by Crouse & Matuschka (1983), who extrapolated the SEMOC methodology (Strong Earthquake Motion Centre, Japan) applied to SMAC accelerograms. at 18:44 April 04, 1950 UTC, Location: However, the Kokoxili (L = 400 km), as the San Andreas earthquake of 1906 (Mw = 7.8, L = 430 km), has longer rupture than most of earthquakes with comparable magnitude (Bolnay, 1905 Mw = 8.3, L = 455 km, Erzincan 1939 Mw = 7.9, L = 350 km, Gobi Altay 1957 Mw = 7.8, L = 250 km) (Rivera et al. We compared the final signal of the different stations, and we observed a good correlation of the results even though the data were corrected separately. The earthquake has been estimated at 8.25 [3] to 8.4 [2] on the moment magnitude scale . If the result of the inversion gives, for one parameter, values inconsistent with field information, we fixed them to stabilize the solution. North of Tsetserleg they found a strike-slip tensor with 1 horizontal, oriented NS. Thus, the needle movement corresponds to the intersection between a cylinder and a sphere. Epicenter at 50.039, 90.847 We have good evidence to propose a mainly eastward propagation of the rupture for both 1905 events. The segments activated during the Bolnay earthquake are clearly visible on the satellite images, whereas those of the Tsetserleg event are more difficult to identify (Okal 1977). doi: https://doi.org/10.1785/0120140119.

Historical seismograms are being used more frequently now, due to the recent efforts to organize the collections, and to digitize the old records (Ferrari 2000; Michelini et al. 1993). (86.2 miles), 1905-07-09 09:40:39 UTC The polarization of S waves at the Gttingen station changes from NW, at the beginning of the signal, to NE at the end, thus suggesting two different mechanisms.

The PcP arrives at more than 1 min for Gttingen and Jena and at more than 1.5 min for Uppsala after the P. Then, for signal duration of 150 s, the use of a unique emergence angle is acceptable for the 1905 July 9 and 23 events except for the end of the P wave which could be affected by PcP with another emergence angle. Amato A. We have no specific information about the nucleation depth. For periods less than half the natural period of the pendulum, the impact of solid friction becomes very small. All observed data has been normalized, using geometric and physical attenuation, to an epicentral distance of 40, and then the instrumental amplification has been changed to 10 000. You could not be signed in. Most of the waveforms were explained except for the SV wave, since its amplitude and length were underestimated. Epicenter at 51.607, 104.158 The total seismic moment is 1.06 0.05 1021 N m, giving Mw = 7.95 0.02. (23.2 miles), 2003-10-01 01:03:25 UTC 140.2 km from Turutanov E.K. The parameters of the solutions for the Tsetserleg earthquake (1905 July 9). A value near 60 km gives the best results, and explains better the end of the recorded signal (Figs 9a and b). When looking for surface waves of large earthquakes, we found that the Wiechert instrument was saturated, or that its recording needle was broken. 80.2 km from (20.2 miles), 2003-09-27 11:33:25 UTC They are orientated N 80 5 and they displace a river in a left lateral way (Table 4a). The obtained displacement on the central segment was 6.3 m, much higher than the 2 m observed on the field (Baljinnyam et al. at 11:33 September 27, 2003 UTC, Location: We're aiming to achieve uninterrupted service wherever an earthquake or volcano eruption unfolds, and your donations can make it happen! We could explain the strong amplitude on the SV and the rather small ones on the SH and P components. (1985) and Baljinnyam et al.

At the first step, we model a nucleation at 17 km depth, near the base of the seismogenic zone, and a rupture propagating down to 30 km, the schizosphere zone (Table 3a). Laojunmiao We tested three cases: (1) nucleation and rupture depth limited to the seismogenic zone; (2) nucleation in the seismogenic zone and rupture propagation going to the base of the crust and (3) nucleation within the crust-upper mantle interface and rupture propagation within the upper mantle. 145.2 km from In both cases, a subvertical fault is needed to explain the observed horizontal slip on the south segment. Calais et al. to constrain them. This last solution is preferred because it favours shear along EW strike-slip faults. Required fields are marked *. This representation is not valid at the beginning of the signal. The low number of available stations leads us to fix a priori values for the parameters. A .gov website belongs to an official government organization in the United States. This time drift can be linear, sinusoidal or complex. 47.2 km from (2002) used fault plane solutions from the TsetserlegBolnay sequence (Schlupp 1996) and two different procedures. We can divide the Teregtiin fault into a north and south segment. All of the information we now have about the 1905 event came from one Russian seismologist who traveled to the area of the earthquake at his own expense, in 1905, and by primitive means of transportation. at 12:19 November 05, 1931 UTC, Location: at 03:37 December 04, 1957 UTC, Location: The Tsetserleg earthquake (1905 July 9) is not as well known as the one of Bolnay (1905 July 23). To obtain good results using the linear predictive filter, the signal durations should be two to three times the natural period of the instrument. 12). Then the seismogenic zone could be also thick, probably around 2030 km. *Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates. Since the observed signal amplitudes are about 2030 mm, we consider that the amplitude decrease is less than 10 per cent. Mongolia China Border. We thank our colleagues from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (Ulaanbaatar), the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (Ulaanbaatar), the Institute of Physics of the Earth, (Moscow) and the Institute of Earth's Crust (Irkutsk) for the facilities we had during the field work. 244.2 km from 2). This earthquake is on the map of Asia and is close to: Russia Mongolia Border. U.S. geologists in particular saw similarities between the layout of fault lines in this part of Mongolia and the fault lines associated with the Venture and the San Andreas faults. Brown E.T. Historical seismograms recorded by Wiechert instruments are digitized and corrected for the geometrical deformation due to the recording system. We do not allow fault azimuth to vary more than 10 from the observed surface rupture and the slip or dip angles more than 20.

In the case of the Tsetserleg earthquake, we obtained well-constrained S waveforms at Gttingen and Uppsala, despite a poorly predicted signal for the first gap at Uppsala. Then, the two predicted values are averaged with weights given by the corresponding standard deviations. Bayanhongor Four of the 20 intracontinental earthquakes with magnitude larger then 8, which occurred during the XXth century, took place in the region of Mongolia (Richter 1958; Kanamori 1977; Okal 1977; Khil'ko et al. The SH component, at Goettingen and Uppsala, are poorly explained after 80 s. Considering only the known surface ruptures, it could not be modelled and neither another kind of wave arrivals, nor anisotropy can, up to now, explain it. In 1905, two major earthquakes with magnitude M >7:5 occurred in the northern part of the Hangay massif (Fig. 1985; Baljinnyam et al. After the map ONE CENTURY OF SEISMICITY IN MONGOLIA (19002000), Adiya et al. The 375-km-long surface rupture of the left-lateral, strike-slip, N095E trending Bulnay Fault associated with this earthquake is remarkable for its pronounced expression across the landscape and for the size of features produced by previous earthquakes. The 9 July 1905 Tsetserleg earthquake (M w 8.0, 49.5N, 97.3E), which. The Tsetserleg earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 190 km. Bayanhongor Aktash 5). Dverchre J.. Delouis B. at 04:13 October 19, 1938 UTC, Location: We cannot reject the possibility that the rupture propagates down through the whole crust (50 5 km), or even through a part of the lithosphere, which is about 100 km thick in this region (Villaseor et al. 3). San'kov V.. Dverchre J. T2 - A surface wave investigation. Teukolsky S.A. 1. For our study, we consider it as negligible. Introduction During the summer of 1905, two major earthquakes occurred along the Bolnai fault (also known as the Khangai fault in the U.S.S.R), in northern Mongolia, at 14 days' interval: event 1, on 'uly 9, 1905 *, was followed on July 23 * by event 11, a seemingly larger earthquake. Beside the various parameters (azimuth, dip, slip on the fault, scalar seismic moment, depth of the nucleation, depth of the centrod of each segment, amplitudes of the source time function and relative position of the different segments. After a first earthquake that ruptured the Tsetserleg oblique fault strand, the second event ruptured the main Bulnay fault 14 days later. The minimal depth of the rupture for a large earthquake is equal to the whole thickness of the seismogenic layer. Rupture azimuths are well-known thanks to the observed surface ruptures (Fig. 46.2 km from The magnitude Mw is between 8.34 0.04 and 8.51 0.02. The rupture propagated into three directions, to the south east along the Teregtiin fault, to the west (over about 100 km) and to east (over about 275 km) along the Bolnay main fault. The deformations due to the shift b are combined with those due to the whole geometry of the recording system. 2005). 102.2 km from Particular effort has been done to retrieve a no deformed signal from the historical seismograms.

Synthetic Love wave seismograms for a series of reasonable models of the catastrophic earthquakes of July 1905 in Mongolia are generated and compared to observed data, to help constrain the source parameters suggested from older field reports. Therefore, we consider the centre of the minute mark gap as reference, and we have to precisely report the gap duration.
