Abstract

Focal zone, basic shock, jerking of strongest aftershocks and progress of seismic energy release during the aftershock process of the earthquake Maule 27.02.2010 (M W =8,8) in Chile have been analyzed. Macroseismic manifestations, tectonic position of the focus and reconstruction of acting plane position in the focus have been considered. Geophysical treatment of anomalous gravimagnetic disturbances and seismic precursors induced in variations of magnetic field and geoacoustic fields of the Earth during preparation of the basic shock and of three strongest iterative shocks on March 11 —16 2010 has been done for the first time. It has been shown that application of present-day cosmic observations, which allow to analyze gravity disturbances (so far only coseismic), reflected on the Earth’s surface makes possible to consider the precursors of seismic shocks of the arthquake Maule and other seismic events in a new way. Long-, middle- and short-term approaches to prognostication of strong seismic events both on land and sea have been stated

Highlights

  • Прокатившись через весь Тихий океан, гигантские волны обрушились и на Японию

  • Землетрясение удалось спрогнозировать за два года до его возникновения учеными из исследовательских центров Германии и Чили на основании анализа геодезических данных, собранных плотной сетью GPS-приемников, размещенных в центральной части страны [Moreno et al, 2008, 2010]

Summary

Introduction

Прокатившись через весь Тихий океан, гигантские волны обрушились и на Японию. Тысячи домов были смыты в море, затонули или были разбиты сотни судов, 120 чел. стали жертвами разгула водной стихии. 3. Стереограмма решения фокального механизма очага землетрясения Мауле по данным Геологической службы США (http://www.globalcmt.org). 4. Эпицентры главного толчка и афтершоков первых двух часов после землетрясения Мауле по данным Геологической службы США (а — в масштабе всей Южной Америки, б — в масштабе Центрального Чили).
