Our field observations suggest that in many areas the width and geometry of the rupture zone is the result of repeated earthquakes; however, in those areas where it is possible to determine that the geomorphic features are the result of the 1905 surface rupture alone, the size of the features produced by this single earthquake are singular in comparison to most other historical strike-slip surface ruptures worldwide. It has been associated to the 1905 July 23 earthquake because the scarp was fresh, and no other large event has been observed since. The value of the arm shift is not measured during the recording, and it must be deduced. Dverchre J.. Delouis B. Usually it is restrained to the seismogenic layer. Therefore, we consider the centre of the minute mark gap as reference, and we have to precisely report the gap duration. They are orientated N 80 5 and they displace a river in a left lateral way (Table 4a). All of the information we now have about the 1905 event came from one Russian seismologist who traveled to the area of the earthquake at his own expense, in 1905, and by primitive means of transportation. 102.2 km from Wesnousky S.G.. Villaseor A. Western Mongolia. Thus, the needle movement corresponds to the intersection between a cylinder and a sphere. We tested three cases: (1) nucleation and rupture depth limited to the seismogenic zone; (2) nucleation in the seismogenic zone and rupture propagation going to the base of the crust and (3) nucleation within the crust-upper mantle interface and rupture propagation within the upper mantle. In the case of P waves, we obtained the signal only at Uppsala. 2), the Tsetserleg event of 1905 July 9 at 9 hr 40 m UT [Mw = 8.4 (Kanamori 1977), Ms = 7.9 (Okal 1977)] and the Bolnay earthquake of 1905 July 23 at 2 hr 47 m UT [M = 8.7 (Richter 1958), Mw = 8.4 (Kanamori 1977); M = 8.2 (Khil'ko et al. (43.2 miles), 1960-12-03 04:24:18 UTC The stress 1 varies from N30, at the south, with a form factor R = 0.5 (triaxial compression with 1 vertical), to NS, at the north, with a form factor R = 0 (uniaxial compression). An empirical relation has been proposed where the displacement u = L, with = 1.5 105 for plate boundaries and 6.5 105 for intraplate earthquakes (Scholz et al. Aktash Altay 2). A value near 60 km gives the best results, and explains better the end of the recorded signal (Figs 9a and b). 10a). (90.2 miles), 1967-01-05 00:14:41 UTC The signal was recorded on smoked paper. These large values could be related to the straight geometry of the rupture, limiting the barriers and allowing then a propagation of the rupture over an important length. Craven J.A. This geometry induces a curved deformation of the signal (Fig. (28.2 miles), Location: at 04:13 October 19, 1938 UTC, Location: 1993). (86.2 miles), 1933-02-13 02:49:16 UTC 23.2 km from They were mapped a few months after the events (Voznesenskii & Dorogostaiskii 1914). (137.2 miles), 2021-01-11 21:32:58 UTC A left lateral movement characterizes its northeastern part with a reverse component dipping to the northwest. Gileva N. N2 - Synthetic Love wave seismograms for a series of reasonable models of the catastrophic earthquakes of July 1905 in Mongolia are generated and compared to observed data, to help constrain the source parameters suggested from older field reports. San'kov V. In 1905, two major earthquakes with magnitude M >7:5 occurred in the northern part of the Hangay massif (Fig. The case, in which both durations were equal, was rare. 1993). We determined the source history of these events using body waveform inversion. Since 1900, Mongolia has had 3 quakes of magnitude 8.0 or above, 9 quakes between 7.0 and 8.0, 35 quakes between 6.0 and 7.0, and 247 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0. The southern part of the Teregtiin fault, oriented N160, is a right lateral strike-slip segmented into several en echelon ruptures along 60 km (Fig. Starting at 22 s after the nucleation, it improves the P, SH and SV waveforms. This representation is not valid at the beginning of the signal. Bulgan at 19:29 August 25, 1922 UTC, Location: Both shocks were reported felt over several millions . These late events can then be considered as late aftershocks of the 1905 earthquakes (Schlupp 1996). However, rockslides were reported in the nearby mountains, and supposedly "two lakes, each of eight acres in size, disappeared". 8c). In the case of the Tsetserleg earthquake, we obtained well-constrained S waveforms at Gttingen and Uppsala, despite a poorly predicted signal for the first gap at Uppsala. The SH component, at Goettingen and Uppsala, are poorly explained after 80 s. Considering only the known surface ruptures, it could not be modelled and neither another kind of wave arrivals, nor anisotropy can, up to now, explain it. All observed data has been normalized, using geometric and physical attenuation, to an epicentral distance of 40, and then the instrumental amplification has been changed to 10 000. (2003). Larroque C. The earthquake has been estimated at 8.25[3] to 8.4[2] on the moment magnitude scale. Epicenter at 49.114, 89.707 Third, assuming a crustal thickness of about 50 5 km, we start with a nucleation near 45 km depth, and a rupture propagating down to 70 km (Table 3c). The seismic moment of the Tsetserleg earthquake is 1.06 (0.05) 1021 N m with a magnitude Mw = 8. at 18:52 September 27, 2003 UTC, Location: 11). The Uppsala, Gttingen and Jena stations were on granite, on limestone and on sandstone, respectively. The best fit is obtained if it starts 17 s after the nucleation.

Our field observations suggest that in many areas the width and geometry of the rupture zone is the result of repeated earthquakes; however, in those areas where it is possible to determine that the geomorphic features are the result of the 1905 surface rupture alone, the size of the features produced by this single earthquake are singular in comparison to most other historical strikeslip surface ruptures worldwide. Background. (48.2 miles), 1922-08-25 19:29:45 UTC At its intersection with the Bolnay fault it becomes reverse right lateral on a fault dipping to the NE. For the inversion, we will use the P, SV and SH components of the signal which could be obtained by rotating the NSEW traces and the Z component. The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 6 m,[5] and possibly as much as 11 m,[2] and the duration is estimated at about two minutes. Lassere C.. Scholz C.H. The 375-km-long surface rupture of the left-lateral, strike-slip, N095E trending Bulnay Fault associated with this earthquake is remarkable for its strong . The Jena station was not inverted, but compared to the synthetic (weight of 0 in the inversion), as the beginning of the predicted signal was poorly constrained, and since the station was near Gttingen. The Strasbourg station was on thick sediments, and the recorded S waves were very low in amplitude and very noisy. Flannery B.P.. Ritz J.F. Teukolsky S.A.

His notes and maps lay in the archives of the Russian Geographic Society until they were discovered in 1957. For the July 23 event, as the surface ruptures along the Bolnay fault are quite pure strike-slip and very linear, we allowed a freedom of only 5 on the direction and 6 on the slip angle permitting a maximal vertical movement of 1 m. The amplitude of the source time function, the scalar seismic moment, the delay of each segment from the nucleation and the depth of the rupture were never fixed. Epicenter at 47.869, 85.076 We could explain the strong amplitude on the SV and the rather small ones on the SH and P components. 3).

Epicenter at 51.708, 95.991 For the Bolnay earthquake, we obtained S wave forms at Gttingen, Jena and Uppsala. Russia . If we consider the length of mapped surface ruptures (130 km) and the width of the body waveforms (7080 s), we obtain a very low rupture velocity in the bilateral case. At the end, we used the waveforms recorded during the two earthquakes at Uppsala (P, SH and SV) and Gttingen (SH and SV), and the P waveform recorded at Jena during the Bolnay earthquake. Ritzwoller M.H. 244.2 km from The fault dip is determined at the surface but it can vary with depth. We're aiming to achieve uninterrupted service wherever an earthquake or volcano eruption unfolds, and your donations can make it happen! The local velocity model used was one simple half-space crustal model with Vp = 6 km s1Vs = 3.46 km s1 density = 2.75 g cm3. The deformations due to the shift b are combined with those due to the whole geometry of the recording system. Amato A. We fixed the depth of the nucleation at 15 km, but allowed for a deep propagation of the rupture (Tables 4a and b). 2003) in the area of the Tsetserleg and Bolnay earthquakes. Comparison of the Bolnay S waveforms recorded at Jena, Uppsala and Gttingen after doing all corrections. a: Nucleation in the seismogenic zone: Mo total = (3.97 0.47).1021 N m = >;Mw = 8.34 0.04. Vergnolle M. Aviles C.A. Introduction During the summer of 1905, two major earthquakes occurred along the Bolnai fault (also known as the Khangai fault in the U.S.S.R), in northern Mongolia, at 14 days' interval: event 1, on 'uly 9, 1905 *, was followed on July 23 * by event 11, a seemingly larger earthquake. The tests with a change in the strike or a lower dip angle on the main rupture could not explain the amplitudes on Sh, Sv and P and became also inconsistent with the field observation. The total duration of the modelled source function is 65 s. The seismic moment deduced from the inversion is 1021 N m, giving a magnitude Mw = 8. Epicenter at 51.639, 101.134 106.2 km from Epicenter at 49.709, 98.483 After a first earthquake that ruptured the Tsetserleg oblique fault strand, the second event ruptured the main Bulnay fault 14 days later.

If we fix the depth to moderate value, the waveforms are explained (Table 3a). The average displacement is 2 0.5 m for the horizontal component and about 1 m for the vertical component. Ritz J.F. (1993)(Mo = 2.28 0.56 1021 N m), which is deduced from the surface ruptures and a hypothetical rupture depth of 20 km, is much smaller than our solution (Mo = 3.97 0.47 1021 N m). First, we introduced only the northern part of the Teregtiin rupture in the history of the source (Fig. Two other smaller segments were activated on 1905 July 23.

Seismic reflection profiling and the structure of the continental lithosphere. On one hand, we obtained the orientation of the main stress 1 at N30 using striations on the fault planes of the Bogd earthquake (Mw = 8.1 the 1957 December 4 associated to 250 km of surface rupture, with a main left lateral component, along the Gobi-Altay range; fig. However, the Kokoxili (L = 400 km), as the San Andreas earthquake of 1906 (Mw = 7.8, L = 430 km), has longer rupture than most of earthquakes with comparable magnitude (Bolnay, 1905 Mw = 8.3, L = 455 km, Erzincan 1939 Mw = 7.9, L = 350 km, Gobi Altay 1957 Mw = 7.8, L = 250 km) (Rivera et al.

Therefore, even though the timing mechanism is common for the two components, the beginning of their minute marks may be different. The polarization of S waves at the Gttingen station changes from NW, at the beginning of the signal, to NE at the end, thus suggesting two different mechanisms.

Its length is about 375 km (Fig. This last solution is preferred because it favours shear along EW strike-slip faults. 1993). The trace is then transformed to a dense set of points, with coordinates (xi, yi). In this case, a time shift between the components is unacceptable. 1. Diament M. The length is about 30 km. This catastrophic event in 1905 was an exception. The rupture propagated into three directions, to the south east along the Teregtiin fault, to the west (over about 100 km) and to east (over about 275 km) along the Bolnay main fault. (a) Effect of the nucleation and rupture depths on the modelled body waveforms at Jena and Gttingen (Bolnay earthquake). Background [ edit] The paper was placed on a cylinder of 6 cm in diameter, which is coupled to a driving system, and stretched by an aluminium cylinder at its bottom. 2003). Then, we moved the nucleation to the southwestern end of the main fault with bilateral propagation (Fig. Khovd Now at AixMarseille Unisit, CNRSIRDCollge de France, CEREGE UMR 34, BP80 13545 Aix en Provence, France; rizza@cerege.fr. Baiyin (1993). Kungurtug Morphotectonic analyses carried out at three sites along the eastern part of the Bulnay fault allow us to estimate a mean horizontal slip rate of 3.11.7mm/yr over the Late PleistoceneHolocene period. . Other branch is called the Dngen fault, located to the north of the Bolnay rupture, near its centre, and close to the junction of Bolnay and Tsetserleg. We thank two anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of the manuscript, and their valuable suggestions. The problem being non-linear, we cannot quantify exactly the effect of friction. By doing this, we obtained good results on most parts of the signal (Fig. This choice allows modelling the whole source and the highest frequencies observed in the signal. An extension of the ruptures to the SW would imply that part of the Bolnay main fault broke, in contradiction with the previous wave modelling.
