摘要

The last decade of the 20th century has seen much progress in comprehending the source processes of Indian earthquakes. It has been possible mainly due to the installation of digital broadband and short period stations as a national network and detailed aftershock studies conducted for several earthquakes of M greater than or equal to6, Investigations of the seismogenic faults, including drilling, helium measurements and magneto-telluric surveys over the fault zones for some earthquakes have provided valuable inputs to characterize the scismogenesis of the Indian lithosphere, We discuss the significant results obtained from the seismological, geophysical and geological investigations for five recent moderate earthquake sequences (Uttarkashi 1991 and Chamoli 1999 in Garhwal Himalaya; Koyna 1967-1996, Latur 1993 and Jabalpur 1997 in the peninsular shield region). A better understanding of the causative faults and rupture processes involved in generating Indian earthquakes is obtained. Occurrence of Garhwal Himalayan earthquakes has been attributed to the significant concentration of stresses around the asperity/ramp on the detachment plane due to northward under-thrusting of the Indian lithosphere. The continued seismicity at the Koyna-Warna seismic zone and its triggering by reservoirs has been explained in terms of southward migration of seismicity from Koyna reservoir, high filling rate, duration of loading, Kaiser effect and nucleation process of moderate earthquakes. Seismological observations, geological evidences, drilling results and modelling of intra-plate stresses showed that occurrence of stable continental region earthquakes like Latur (1993) can be explained in terms of sudden movement along the pre-existing faults caused by a coupled force system consisting of topography, density heterogeneity and a NNE compression due to movement of the Indian plate. Further, a highly conductive low-velocity fluid-filled zone at 7-10 km depth beneath the focal zone of the Latur earthquake sequence, as suggested by magneto-tellurics study, low Bouguer gravity and observation of a Pc phase, will enhance stress concentration in the uppermost part of the crust, resulting in mechanical failure. Nevertheless, the nucleation of Jabalpur earthquake (1997) in the lower crust has been attributed to the sudden movement along the south Narmada fault due to the stress concentration around the 'rift pillows', Progress is made in understanding the source processes, crustal velocity structure and Q for some important tectonic regions of the Indian lithosphere and future directions have been identified.
