2005). 1985; Baljinnyam et al. Official websites use .gov The access to the region of surface ruptures is difficult and, probably, some have not been seen (Voznesenskii & Dorogostaiskii 1914; Ilyin 1978; Khil'ko et al. Therefore, we consider the centre of the minute mark gap as reference, and we have to precisely report the gap duration. Look up quakes in the past 30 days! This Mongolia-related article is a stub. To obtain good results using the linear predictive filter, the signal durations should be two to three times the natural period of the instrument. 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. The signal was recorded on smoked paper. A view from the W. Photo by R.A. Kurushin (1976). 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. 10a). at 09:09 December 27, 1991 UTC, Location: 8b). 2002). Since 1900, Mongolia had 294 quakes up to magnitude 8.3. We cannot reject the possibility that the rupture propagates down through the whole crust (50 5 km), or even through a part of the lithosphere, which is about 100 km thick in this region (Villaseor et al. A value near 60 km gives the best results, and explains better the end of the recorded signal (Figs 9a and b). "Source history of the 1905 great Mongolian earthquakes (Tsetserleg, Bolnay)", "Fault interaction and stress triggering of twentieth century earthquakes in Mongolia", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1905_Tsetserleg_earthquake&oldid=1133365086, This page was last edited on 13 January 2023, at 12:01. 1993).

This appears to be the minimum depth of the rupture on Bolnay fault. The Bolnai earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 300[3] to 375[4] km along the fault, and possibly an additional 80km of the Teregtiin Fault. 9.2 km from This choice allows modelling the whole source and the highest frequencies observed in the signal. After a first earthquake that ruptured the Tsetserleg oblique fault strand, the second event ruptured the main Bulnay fault 14 days later. 38.2 km from Enkhtuvshin B.. Rivera L. at 16:35 December 17, 1938 UTC, Location: Epicenter at 45.189, 99.368 Their observations were completed by Aprodov (1960), Khil'ko et al. It was one of the very few for which detailed data was available. On the other hand, it propagated to the west along a N80 structure with left lateral strike-slip until its junction with the Bolnay fault. at 12:19 November 05, 1931 UTC, Location: 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 . 33.2 km from The length is about 30 km. 46.2 km from Did Trump Ruin America for Good? 1991, 2001; Bayasgalan 1999). However, rockslides were reported in the nearby mountains, and supposedly "two lakes, each of eight acres in size, disappeared". 2). 1; Khil'ko et al. The Punjab Gov- earthquakes to the west and east of the Kangra rupture Since the observed signal amplitudes are about 2030 mm, we consider that the amplitude decrease is less than 10 per cent. Adding this segment improves the SH and SV waveforms and gives higher amplitude on the P (Fig. Three cases have been explored: (1) nucleation and rupture in the seismogenic layer; (2) nucleation in the seismogenic layer with rupture propagation down to the base of the crust and (3) nucleation at the interface between the crust and the upper mantle with rupture propagation under the crust. 23.2 km from Hence we conclude that the rupture propagation of the Tsetserleg earthquake should be unilateral without being able to establish definitively the direction. Bulgan 6. The Dngen complex segment, a NS right lateral strike-slip of about 1.5 0.5 m, is at the junction between the ruptures of the July 9 and 23 earthquakes (Baljinnyam et al. Craven J.A. DeLaurier J.M. (39.2 miles), 1967-01-20 01:57:23 UTC The EW oriented Bolnay rupture is characterized by an almost pure left lateral strike-slip over a length of 375 km (all ruptured segments give a length of 455 km). a: Model with an eastward rupture propagation: Mo total = 1.06 0.05 1021 N m = >;Mw = 7.95 0.02. The added northeast segment should be associated with 7 m of left lateral strike-slip. The seismic moment suggested by Baljinnyam et al. Gough D.I. The nucleation and rupture depths remain uncertain. This strategy is important as the result of the inversion depend strongly on the initial value of the parameters. 4). A lock () or https:// means youve safely connected to the .gov website. Historical seismograms are being used more frequently now, due to the recent efforts to organize the collections, and to digitize the old records (Ferrari 2000; Michelini et al. Exceptions to this are earthquakes which have caused death, injury or damage. Trampert J.. Zorin Y.A. Therefore, we use all available information (observed surface ruptures, main regional tectonic features, crust and lithosphere structure, etc.) The t* values considered are 1 s for P waves and 4 s for S waves. 1985; Ritz et al. The minute gaps at Gttingen are corrected by using predictive filters. San'kov V. The nucleation of the Bolnay earthquake was at the intersection between the main fault (375 km left lateral strike-slip) and the Teregtiin fault (N160, 80 km long right lateral strike-slip with a vertical component near the main fault).

It has been associated to the 1905 July 23 earthquake because the scarp was fresh, and no other large event has been observed since. It implies about 2.4 m of displacement on the central segment and 2.6 m on the southwestern segment, in agreement with the 2.3 m considered by Baljinnyam et al. For 1 horizontal and oriented NS, the best shape factor R is 0 (2 = 3), meaning uniaxial compression (Armijo & Cisternas 1978). 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. The low number of available stations leads us to fix a priori values for the parameters. 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. Nevertheless, we have a good knowledge of the surface ruptures. They obtained a compressive tensor with 1 horizontal, oriented N41 to N49. The parameters of the solutions for the Bolnay earthquake (1905 July 23). to constrain them. McNeice G.W. Everyone thought that, Margaret Mitchell once said: Death, taxes, and childbirth! This catastrophic event in 1905 was an exception. ), the most constrained parameters are the azimuth of the segments, the relative position of the segments and the slip angle. left cracks distinctly expressed in the relief of the . Voznesenskii and Dorogostaiskii reached the region only 3 months after the earthquake, but they had enough information to say that the first event is associated to the Tsetserleg earthquake, and the second one to Bolnay. (53.2 miles), 1931-11-05 12:19:35 UTC 77.2 km from Baiyin at 02:49 February 13, 1933 UTC, Location: 2). 11).

This work has been possible thanks to the archives of the world wide seismic stations. Surface ruptures, epicentre (star), focal mechanism of each segment, and rupture propagation direction (open arrows) for Tsetserleg (green) and Bolnay (red) earthquakes. Its value generally varies from 150 to 250 for the 1000 kg Wiechert. *Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates. The 11 January 2021 Mw 6.7 Hovsgol, Mongolia, earthquake is the largest event that has occurred in the Hovsgol graben, which is noted for being the northernmost convergence region of the. These observations suggest that the displacement produced during the penultimate event was similar to the 1905 slip. The correction process continues with the combination of the NS and EW components in order to obtain the radial and transverse ones. It starts at the southwest of the central subsegment, showing a left lateral strike-slip with a reverse component. 1993). The variation in amplitude, due to the observed b shift (maximum 33 mm), is less than 1 per cent for an arm length of 450 mm. 345 Middlefield Road Comparison of the Bolnay S waveforms recorded at Jena, Uppsala and Gttingen after doing all corrections. Beside the various parameters (azimuth, dip, slip on the fault, scalar seismic moment, depth of the nucleation, depth of the centrod of each segment, amplitudes of the source time function and relative position of the different segments. Western Mongolia. Ritzwoller M.H. Subsequent research, mainly in modern times after World War II, identified a series of earthquakes subsequent to the 1905 quake. 2003) in the area of the Tsetserleg and Bolnay earthquakes. This representation is not valid at the beginning of the signal. When the first gap is preceded by only few seconds of signal, the quality of the prediction is limited. The Strasbourg station was on thick sediments, and the recorded S waves were very low in amplitude and very noisy. 1995), 3.4 105 in the case of Fu Yun earthquake (Chinese Altay, 1931 August 10) and 1.5 105 in the case of Kokoxili (Kunlun, 2001 November 14). The Tsetserleg rupture (azimuth N60) correspond to a N60 oriented branch of the long EW oriented Bolnay fault. Ritz J.F. Show quakes near me! The 1905 Bolnai earthquake occurred in or near the Asgat Sum of Zavkhan Province in Mongolia on 23 July. We could not decrease the rupture velocity because the P- and SH-wave signals would be too long. The average displacement is 2 0.5 m for the horizontal component and about 1 m for the vertical component. Amarjargal S. In 1905, two major earthquakes with magnitude M >7:5 occurred in the northern part of the Hangay massif (Fig. The Bulnay earthquake of July 23, 1905 (M w 8.3-8.5), in north-central Mongolia, is one of the world's largest recorded intracontinental earthquakes and one of four great earthquakes that occurred in the region during the 20th century. (2002) used fault plane solutions from the TsetserlegBolnay sequence (Schlupp 1996) and two different procedures. We made the hypothesis that there was no P/SV conversion under the station that could modify the P waveform on the horizontal component, and then perturb the calculation of the P wave. The southern 50 km are complex (Voznesenskii & Dorogostaiskii 1914), with subvertical left lateral strike-slip faults oriented N80 (Khil'ko et al. 2001; Petit et al. Loncke L. However, rockslides were reported in the nearby mountains, and supposedly "two lakes, each of eight acres in size, disappeared". The most probable models suggested are pure strike-slip, striking N280E, dipping north 50 to 90 . Melnikova V. The needle is placed at the end of an arm moving in any direction through a cardan system and, in absence of motion, it should be at the vertical of the axis of the driving cylinder.

The rupture was bilateral along the main fault: 100 km to the west and 275 km to east. We thank our colleagues from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (Ulaanbaatar), the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (Ulaanbaatar), the Institute of Physics of the Earth, (Moscow) and the Institute of Earth's Crust (Irkutsk) for the facilities we had during the field work. U.S. geologists in particular saw similarities between the layout of fault lines in this part of Mongolia and the fault lines associated with the Venture and the San Andreas faults. The 1905 Bolnai earthquake occurred in or near the Asgat Sum of Zavkhan Province in Mongolia on 23 July.

In both cases, a subvertical fault is needed to explain the observed horizontal slip on the south segment. You could not be signed in. They are either fixed or inverted at the end, when the general result is consistent with the field data. 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. Starting at 22 s after the nucleation, it improves the P, SH and SV waveforms. Quakes in nearby regions China | Kazakhstan | Russia | Yellow Sea Mordvinova V.V. In particular they saw that what had happened in the GobiAltai earthquake, namely the simultaneous rupturing of two major faults, were to happen in California, it would be worse than anything that had yet hit that state. (151.2 miles), 2008-08-27 01:35:32 UTC An official website of the United States government. Fairhead D.. Pintore S. It appears then necessary to introduce another rupture mechanism at the beginning of the earthquake. The problem being non-linear, we cannot quantify exactly the effect of friction. at 18:21 December 22, 1906 UTC, Location: Turutanov E.K. Franceschi D.. Prentice C.S. They consider that the duration of the upward motion of the needle is equal to the downward one. However, the body waves were in general clearly recorded, except for one horizontal component of the Bolnay earthquake which was lost at Strasbourg. at 12:47 June 14, 1990 UTC, Location: On July 9, 1905, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 occurred in the Gobi-Altai region of southwestern Mongolia, close to the Chinese border. 1995; Schlupp 1996) and displacements associated to the Bolnay earthquake (1905 July 23). Within this procedure we considered the following criteria: (1) the signal must never go back in time; (2) upward time equal to downward time of signal and (3) The histogram of slope at 90 must be null. Along the 80 km stretch, between 97.18E and 98.33E, the fault zone is characterized by several meters width and the mean left-lateral 1905 offset is 8.9 0.6 m with two measured cumulative offsets that are twice the 1905 slip. But the average slip (6 2 m) during the Kokoxili event is smaller than that of the Bolnay earthquake (8 2 m to 10 2 m). Its length is about 375 km (Fig. The seismic moment of the Tsetserleg earthquake is 1.06 (0.05) 1021 N m with a magnitude Mw = 8. The deformations due to the shift b are combined with those due to the whole geometry of the recording system. The first part of the paper concerns the instrumental corrections. Larroque C. Online Material: Table of 10Be concentrations with sampling information, highresolution stratigraphic and topographic maps, and 10Be analyses at various sites. The Jena and Gttingen stations being very close, the recorded waveforms are very similar. Depth: 15 km.

The total rupture length for the Tsetserleg earthquake may reach up to 190 km, in order to explain the width of the recorded body waves. Miroshnitchenko A. 1985; Baljinnyam et al. Seismic reflection profiling and the structure of the continental lithosphere. These observations suggest that the displacement produced during the penultimate event was similar to the 1905 slip. The trace is then transformed to a dense set of points, with coordinates (xi, yi). It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. As the first results were very unstable, we decided to filter the high frequencies at 10 s by a two poles Butterworth low pass filter. Note that, despite adding this new structure, the end of the S wave is not completely explained. at 22:32 May 22, 1927 UTC, Location: The 30 s delay between nucleation and the beginning of the added rupture, is in agreement with the change of the polarization of the S wave (Fig. at 19:30 July 04, 1974 UTC, Location: Your email address will not be published. at 18:44 April 04, 1950 UTC, Location: Source: Depth and magnitude of quakes versus time plot. (32.2 miles), 2012-02-26 06:17:19 UTC Central Mongolia. Dverchre J. 1993). Belichenko B.G. Okal (1977) proposed a rupture propagating eastwards along a fault oriented EW. Aktash Every donation will be highly appreciated. The second criterion, (2), was used by Crouse & Matuschka (1983), who extrapolated the SEMOC methodology (Strong Earthquake Motion Centre, Japan) applied to SMAC accelerograms. The natural period, partially adjustable, varies between 9 and 15 s. The damping, by forced air circulation between a cylinder and a piston, is about = 4 1. 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. Epicenter at 46.817, 89.915 (1985) and Baljinnyam et al. Rupture azimuths are well-known thanks to the observed surface ruptures (Fig. Epicenter at 47.264, 89.859 a: Nucleation in the seismogenic zone: Mo total = (3.97 0.47).1021 N m = >;Mw = 8.34 0.04. The Bulnay earthquake of July 23, 1905 (M8.2-8.5), in north-central Mongolia, is one of the world's largest recorded intracontinental earthquakes and one of four great earthquakes that occurred in the region during the 20th century. A local stress tensor in the Tsetserleg area is proposed from surface ruptures. San'kov V.. Jones A.G. Since the available data were limited to Europe, the azimuths epicentre to station are very similar. (28.2 miles), 1990-06-14 12:47:28 UTC We see that, 100 yr after these large events, the activity is still located near these faults. P and S wave are available at Strasbourg but they cannot be used in the inversion do to high solid friction. at 09:40 July 09, 1905 UTC, Location: Radziminovitch N. In conclusion, the nucleation must be near the junction of the Teregtiin and Bolnay faults, thus respecting a mainly eastward rupture propagation.

Januar bis 31. Bourls D.L. 2003). An aftershock of almost the same magnitude occurred in the same location two weeks later. The earthquake has been estimated at 7.9 to 8.3 on the moment magnitude scale. (2003) estimated a left lateral slip rate of 2.6 1 mm yr1 on the Bolnay fault, using GPS measurements (from 1994 to 2002), giving a return period of 4500 1750 yr. at 01:03 October 01, 2003 UTC, Location: Altay Cadek (1987) gives a procedure for transforming the (xi, yi) coordinates into time and amplitude. Epicenter at 45.136, 94.034 If we consider 1 oriented N30, the best result is obtained for R = 0.5, corresponding to triaxial compression with 3 vertical. Hence, we first considered a nucleation at the southwestern end of the mapped surface ruptures, but the fit was poor. However, the seismic moment of Kokoxili is about 1021 N m (with 400 km active fault and slip of about 6 m) when the main segment of Bolnay is at minimum 3.3 1021 N m (with 375 km active fault and slip of about 10 m). Tocheport A. For the P waves, we obtained good signals at Jena and Uppsala. Although the surface ruptures associated with these two events are well-preserved due to dry climate, they had only been mapped in details along short sections. 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). 12). On July 9, 1905, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 occurred in the GobiAltai region of southwestern Mongolia, close to the Chinese border. Epicenter at 47.7, 92.579 Diament M. 5). The best results were obtained when we invert one to two parameters together, avoiding a rapid drift to aberrant solutions. at 19:13 April 07, 1958 UTC, Location: (20.2 miles), 2003-09-27 11:33:25 UTC 140.2 km from Vergnolle M. We obtained an oblique displacement of 3.2 1.1 m after Khil'ko et al. 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. Y1 - 1977/3. 195.2 km from This article about an earthquake in Asia is a stub. The Teregtiin segment must break first since numerous tests, placing it later in the history of the source, do not explain the beginning of SH and P waves. Altay Lassere C.. Scholz C.H. The 11 January 2021 M w 6.7 Hovsgol, Mongolia, earthquake is the largest event that has occurred in the Hovsgol graben, which is noted for being the northernmost convergence region of the India-Eurasia collision and the youngest extension region of the Baikal rift.
