摘要


在隱沒帶系統中,隱沒板塊本身的非均向性構造特性一直受到爭論。過去利用剪力波分離現象來測量隱沒帶非均向性的研究中,皆難以有效分離出板塊本身非均向性的大小及方向,而近年來發展的技術,例如P波層析成像技術及接收函數分析法,則進一步指出板塊本身存在一定程度之非均向性,然而確切大小卻不易解析。 本研究欲尋找沿板塊內部傳播的隱沒帶導波事件,利用剪力波分離特徵來有效測量隱沒板塊本身之非均向性。當地震波傳遞經過隱沒帶時,會產生複雜的波傳特性。震波沿著隱沒板塊傳遞一段長距離後,其波形具有短暫低頻P波初達訊號,且其後緊隨持續時間長的高頻訊號。此種具有高頻振幅放大的隱沒帶導波可用來解釋地表異常強地動行為,並且是理解隱沒板塊物理特性的重要依據。本研究嘗試利用隱沒帶導波之特性來約制地震事件到達測站的路徑關係,並進一步利用具有導波效應之測站及地震事件進行剪力波分離之觀測。我們搜尋台灣兩隱沒帶之地震事件,經由分析其波形特徵(頻譜及時頻分析)以及異常之地表強地動分布,系統性探討台灣兩隱沒帶(琉球隱沒帶及馬尼拉隱沒帶)之導波效應。本研究發現台灣東北的琉球隱沒帶系統,其導波特性(造成高頻振幅放大的程度)較為明顯,故使用琉球隱沒帶導波事件求取隱沒板塊非均向性。 利用ML>5的30個有明顯導波效應的琉球隱沒帶導波事件,我們進一步利用質點運動分析法及波形交對比法來進行剪力波分離參數(有明顯導波之測量。有效之剪力波分離測量結果顯示,整體分離時間差約在0.06-0.68 s,其方向性特徵可分為三群,最北部為琉球地幔楔之非均向性,以東-西向及西北-東南向為主,而往南靠近具有導波測站則呈現兩種型態之方向性,除了與前人研究(平行台灣造山帶方向,為南-北向與北偏東向)一致的S波極化方向外,亦有異常的S波極化方向為北北西向,其分離時間差為0.2-0.46 s,本研究推測其可能受到板塊本身之非均向性之影響,初估其大小略大於台灣北部地殼之非均向性(<1s),但小於台灣上部地幔之非均向性大小(0.3-1.3 s)。

Frozen-in anisotropic structure in the oceanic lithosphere and faulting/hydration in the upper layer of the slab are expected to play an important role in anisotropic signature of the subducted slab. Over the past several decades, despite the advances in the knowledge of crustal and upper mantle anisotropy, the character of the subducting slab anisotropy remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the slab anisotropy using subduction zone guided waves characterized by long path length in the slab. In the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone, seismic waves from events deeper than 100 km offshore northern Taiwan reveal wave guide behaviors: (1) low-frequency (<1 Hz) first arrival recognized on vertical and radial components but not transverse component, and (2) large, sustained high-frequency (3-10 Hz) signal in P and S wave trains. The depth dependent high-frequency content (3-10Hz) confirms the association with a waveguide effect in the subducting slab rather than localized site amplification effects. Using the selected subduction zone guided wave events, we further analyzed the shear wave splitting for intermediate-depth earthquakes in different frequency bands, to provide the statistically meaningful shear wave splitting parameters. We determine shear wave splitting parameters from the 30 PSP guided events that are deeper than 100 km with ray path traveling along the subducted slab. From shear wave splitting analysis, our results show the total range of delay time of 0.06–0.68 sec. From the difference of polarization patterns of fast direction, we find out three groups which included the northern Taiwan mantle wedge effect and the parallel Taiwan orogeny anisotropy and the possible slab anisotropy. The slab and crust effects reveal consistent polarization pattern of fast directions of North North-West and delay time of 0.2-0.46 sec. This implies that slab anisotropy is stronger than the crust effect (<0.1 s) but weaker than the upper mantle effect (0.3-1.3 s) in Taiwan.
