摘要
使用哈佛CMT资料,研究了2004年12月26日印尼北苏门答腊以西近海MW9.0地震前的长期地震活动.这次地震前,在1/4世纪的时间尺度、1500km的空间尺度上,存在加速矩释放(AMR)现象.在这一空间尺度范围内,MW9.0地震仍落在分段的幂律分布上.因此,从地震的类临界点模型的角度考虑,对这次特大地震的发生和地震的大小既无预测、亦无预报的情况,并非由物理上的“不可预测性”所致.
Long-term seismic activity prior to the December 26, 2004, off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, M_W=9.0 earthquake was investigated using the Harvard CMT catalogue. It is observed that before this great earthquake, there exists an accelerating moment release (AMR) process with the temporal scale of a quarter century and the spatial scale of 1 500 km. Within this spatial range, the M_W=9.0 event falls into the piece-wise power-law-like frequency-magnitude distribution. Therefore, in the perspective of the critical-point-like model of earthquake preparation, the failure to forecast/predict the approaching and/or the size of this earthquake is not due to the physically intrinsic unpredictability of earthquakes.
