Using over 3 500 first P arrival times recorded by nine digital seismic stations from Hainan Digital Seismic Net-work during 1999～2005,a 3-D P-wave velocity model of the crust under Hainan Island and adjacent regions...Using over 3 500 first P arrival times recorded by nine digital seismic stations from Hainan Digital Seismic Net-work during 1999～2005,a 3-D P-wave velocity model of the crust under Hainan Island and adjacent regions has been determined. The results show that the pattern of velocity anomalies in the shallower upper crust is somewhat associated with the surface geological tectonics in the region. A relative low-velocity anomaly appears north of the Wangwu-Wenjiao fault zone and a relative high-velocity anomaly appears south of the Wangwu-Wenjiao fault zone,corresponding to the depressed areas in north Hainan Island,where many volcanoes are frequently active and geothermal values are relatively higher,and the uplifted and stable regions in central and south of the Hainan Is-land. In the middle and lower crust velocities are relatively lower in east Hainan than those in west Hainan,possi-bly suggesting the existence of the upwelling of hot materials from the mantle in east Hainan. The pattern of veloc-ity anomalies also indicates that NW faults,i.e.,the Puqian-Qinglan fault,may be shallower,while the E-W Wangwu-Wenjiao fault may be deeper,which perhaps extends down to Moho depth or deeper.展开更多

In 1991, the IOCAS also conducted OBS measurement in the same area. Both the our refraction data and other authors’ refraction data measured in the area of East China Sea have been used to study the crustal velocity structure along the Profile 820 which is across the East China Sea shelf basin, Okinawa Trough, Ryukyu Island, Ryukyu Trench and Philippine Sea in this paper. The ages of the velocity layer have also been determined in this paper.The crustal velocity structure is difference both along the profile 820 and from top to the depth. Along the profile there are three basins and three uplifts. From top to the depth there are 5 velocity layers, which are layers of 1 8～2 2km/s, 2 4～2 8km/s, 3 0～3 6km/s, 4 2～5 1km/s, 5 75～6 0km/s. Based on the velocity structure we can know that the deposit environment was stable between Pliocene and Quaternary along the whole profile except the axis part of Okinawa Trough which had always been active and the deposit florescence was Eocene and the whole area was uplifting in the time of Oligocene and the sediments of that time upon the Diaoyudao uplift and Ryukyu island and also the area of East China Sea shelf basin and Okinawa Trough were denuded. The origination of the East China Sea shelf basin and the Okinawa Trough might be after the deposition of the velocity layer of 5 75～6 0km/s.展开更多
