    Notes: Abstract A special experimental technique enabled us to study in detail seismic events on a fault model in a uniaxial stress field. The recording system used made it possible to investigate the radiation pattern for all the events observed including the precise determination of the dislocation origin. The aim of the present paper is (1) to find the relation between shear and tensile displacements, (2) to check a possible influence of the process of tensile crack generation on the seismic energy release and (3) to compare the seismic regime of a single fault before and after the tensile crack generation, respectively. Results prove the dominating importance of shear mechanism for the seismic energy release. The tensile displacement can be seismoactive only under special contact conditions on the fault plane. The existence of tensile cracks at the fault tips changed the pattern of seismic energy radiation. This feature is probably caused by subsequent changes in contact conditions on the fault plane and in the stress field around the fault. A comparison of some results of the present model experiments with the already published results of geological and seismological measurements and investigations shows the analogous character in laboratory and in nature of the process of tectonic earthquake preparation, the displacement course on the fault during the earthquake and the manner of seismic energy release on faults.

    Notes: Abstract Systems of two parallel linear faults of the same length with the angle of inclination α=45° were investigated under uniaxial linearly increasing load. Perspex plates were used as models. For each treated fault configuration the morphology of tensile cracks and the sequence of seismoacoustic events of shear and tensile origin were studied. It is shown that the seismic regime of a fault system is strongly influenced by the contact conditions on a fault plane; it is different in the faults with the aseismic contact, represented by open slits, and in the faults with the seismoactive contact, represented by filled slits, respectively. The experiments proved the dominating role of a fast shear displacement of the stick-slip type in the regime of seismic energy release of a fault system. The tensile crack generation seems to be only of little—if not negligible—importance. On the other hand, the existence of tensile cracks in a fault system can play an important role in the course of subsequent loading cycles because the stick-slip displacements can take place not only along the primary faults but also along the planes of tensile cracks. A comparison of some results of model experiments and the already published results of geological and seismological investigations indicated that the way of seismic energy relase on faults in nature and in the laboratory could be of the same character. Several analogies between the seismic regime of a fault model and of real seismic regions were found concerning the morphology of faults, off-fault fore- and aftershocks, and earthquake doublets, respectively.

    A combined study of macroseismic data and focal mechanisms applied to the West-Bohemian earthquake, Czechoslovakia (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The main shock of the West-Bohemian earthquake swarm, Czechoslovakia, (magnitudem=4.5, depthh=10 km) exhibits an irregular areal distribution of macroseismic intensities 6° to 7° MSK-64. Four lobes of the 6° isoseismal are found and the maximum observed intensity is located at a distance of 8 km from the instrumentally determined epicentre. This distribution can be explained by the energy flux of the directS wave generated by a circular source, the hypocentral location and focal mechanism of which are taken from independent instrumental studies. The theoretical intensity, which is assumed to be logarithmically proportional to the integrated squared ground-motion velocity (i.e.,I=const+log ∫v 2 (t)dt), fits the observed intensity with an overall root-mean-square error less than 0.5°. It is important that the present intensity data can also be equally well explained by the isotropic source. The fit was attained by means of a horizontally layered model though large fault zones and an extended sedimentary basin suggest a significant lateral heterogeneity of the epicentral region. The results encourage a broader application of the simple modelling technique used.

    Notes: Abstract —The West Bohemian seismoactive region is situated near the contact of the Moldanu bian, Bohemian and Saxothuringian units in which a large volume is occupied by granitoid massifs. The spatial distribution of P-wave velocities and the rock fabric of five representative samples from these massifs were studied. The P-wave velocities were measured on spherical samples in 132 independent directions under hydrostatic pressure up to 400 MPa, using the pulse-transmission method. The pressure of 400 MPa corresponds to a depth of about 15 km in the area under study. The changes of P-wave velocity were correlated with the preferred orientations of the main rock fabric elements, i.e., rock forming minerals and microcracks. The values of the P-wave velocity from laboratory measurements on granite samples fit the velocity model used by seismologists in the West Bohemian seismoactive region.

    Seismically active fracture zones and distribution of large accumulations of metals in the central part of Andean South America (2000)

    Notes: Abstract  The analysis of the geometry of distribution of earthquake foci in the central part of Andean South America between 18° and 34°S made the delineation of several seismically active fracture zones in the continental wedge overlying the subducting Nazca plate possible. Correlation of their position with the distribution of hypogene accumulations of metals revealed that the majority of large mineral deposits and mining districts are situated in the outcrops of these fracture zones. We present geometrical documentation (map of epicentres, vertical and longitudinal cross sections) of the most important fracture zones and data on mineralogical composition, genetic type and available radiometric ages of mineral deposits. Sixteen mining districts in Chile, and 24 in Argentina, were attributed to the seismically active fracture zones. Major mining districts and individual large mineral deposits occur in six seismically active fracture zones roughly parallel to the axis of the Peru-Chile trench (Carachas-Portillo, Choquelimpie, Iquique, Domeyko, Río Blanco-Los Bayos and Farellones F.Z.), in six fracture zones roughly perpendicular to the trench (El Salvador, Maricunga, Jaroma, Ujina, Tumbaya and Incahuasi-León Muerto F.Z.) and in two fracture zones oriented at an angle of about 45° in relation to the direction of the presently active Andean subduction (Aconcagua and Sierra del Volcán F.Z.). The occurrences of large mineral deposits of different ages show that these fracture zones were also active in the geological past and represent sites of permanent re-opening of paths allowing ore-bearing solutions and long-term accumulation of large amounts of metals to occur in relatively restricted domains of the Earth's crust. The mining districts with dated mineral deposits are arranged into four periods of hypogene mineralization: Upper Miocene-Pliocene, Upper Oligocene-Middle Miocene, Upper Eocene-Middle Oligocene, Lower Paleocene-Upper Eocene. These periods of metallogenic activity correlate well with four supposed Andean subduction cycles active in the Tertiary. The occurrence of mineral deposits of different ages in recently active fracture zones can be used as an important evidence in favour of long-term spatial permanence and activity of these zones and as a guide for the discovery of further mineral deposits hidden under young sedimentary and volcanic cover in the fracture zones.

    Notes: Abstract The western part of the Bohemian Massif is characterized by repeated occurrences of intraplate earthquake swarms. To study surface deformations of this anomalous region, a network covering about 2000 square kilometres for repeated geodetic measurements was established in 1993 - 1994. The positions of the individual points of the network were carefully picked with respect to local tectonic structure and earthquake foci distribution. GPS and precise levelling measurements were performed 1-2 times a year. The GPS data were processed by Bernese GPS software. No tendency to any displacement - either horizontal or vertical - of geological blocks was derived from the geodetic data for the period 1993 - 96. Only displacements of less than 5 mm/year in average could occur in the whole region in that period; larger displacements would have been revealed by our measurements.

    Magma Intrusions and Earthquake Swarm Occurrence in the Western Part of the Bohemian Massif (1999)

    Notes: Abstract We are proposing a hypothesis that earthquake swarms in the West Bohemia/Vogtland seismoactive region are generated by magmatic activity currently transported to the upper crustal layers. We assume that the injection of magma and/or related fluids and gases causes hydraulic fracturing which is manifested as an earthquake swarm at the surface. Our statements are supported by three spheres of evidence coming from the western part of the Bohemian Massif: characteristic manifestations of recent geodynamic activity, the information from the neighbouring KTB deep drilling project and from the 9HR seismic reflection profile, and the detailed analysis of local seismological data. (1) Recent manifestations of geodynamic activity include Quaternary volcanism, rich CO 2 emissions, anomalies of mantle-derived 3 He, mineral springs, moffets, etc. (2) The fluid injection experiment in the neighbouring KTB deep borehole at a depth of 9 km induced hundreds of micro-earthquakes. This indicates that the Earth's crust is near frictional failure in the western part of the Bohemian Massif and an addition of a small amount of energy to the tectonic stress is enough to induce an earthquake. Some pronounced reflections in the closely passing 9HR seismic reflection profile are interpreted as being caused by recent magmatic sills in the crust. (3) The local broadband seismological network WEBNET provides high quality data that enable precise localization of seismic events. The events of the January 1997 earthquake swarm are confined to an extremely narrow volume at depths of about 9 km. Their seismograms display pronounced reflections of P- and S-waves in the upper crust. The analysis of the process of faulting has disclosed a considerable variability of the source mechanism during the swarm. We conclude that the mechanism of intraplate earthquake swarms generated by magma intrusions is similar to that of induced seismicity. As the recent tectonic processes and manifestations of geodynamic activity are similar in European areas with repeated earthquake swarm occurrence (Bohemian Massif, French Massif Central, Rhine Graben), we assume that magma intrusions and related fluid and gas release at depths of about 10 km are the universal cause of intraplate earthquake swarm generation
