When the first gap is preceded by only few seconds of signal, the quality of the prediction is limited. Epicenter at 51.607, 104.158 (20.2 miles), 2003-09-27 11:33:25 UTC S waves recorded at Strasbourg during the Tsetserleg earthquake, or at Jena during the Bolnay earthquake, were not inverted but only visually compared to synthetic seismograms. Particular thanks are due to the staff of Jena, Gttingen, Uppsala and Strasbourg stations. 1985; Ritz et al. The Punjab Gov- earthquakes to the west and east of the Kangra rupture Ritz, C.

To minimize this problem, we applied the coefficients of the predictive filter obtained from the signal after the gap, to the signal before the gap. Historical seismograms recorded by Wiechert instruments are digitized and corrected for the geometrical deformation due to the recording system. The Tsetserleg earthquake was followed two weeks later by the Bolnai earthquake, and is considered a part of the same general crustal movement. Background. The Tsetserleg rupture (azimuth N60) correspond to a N60 oriented branch of the long EW oriented Bolnay fault. 2001; Petit et al. Mordvinova V.V. 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. Finally, we invert first the less constrained parameters, and later on the remaining ones in order to verify the stability of the solution. Calais et al. 8c). Two great Mongolian earthquakes, Tsetserleg and Bolnay, occurred on 1905 July 9 and 23. There are few records of the immediate effects of the earthquake due to the remoteness of Mongolia in 1905. The total duration of the modelled source is 65 s for Tsetserleg and 115 s for Bolnay earthquakes. Both shocks were reported felt over several millions . (1985) and Baljinnyam et al. Larroque C. 3).

Epicenter at 43.099, 104.521 Epicenter at 51.639, 101.134 We compared the final signal of the different stations, and we observed a good correlation of the results even though the data were corrected separately. The surface ruptures show almost pure left lateral strike-slip with displacements between 8 2 and 11 2 m (Khil'ko et al. Loncke L.

Finally, the last solution, with the nucleation at 43 km depth and a rupture propagating down to 70 km, appears to be the most satisfactory. Lake Baykal, Russia. It is a reverse fault with a right lateral component, oriented N135 and dipping between 50 and 70 to the NE. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); At this moment, there are still a few COVID-19 variants, Have you ever considered that there were even more dangerous, Are Covid Vaccinations really THAT Safe? Deep-seated structure and geodynamics of Mongolia . Tosontsengel Hence, we first considered a nucleation at the southwestern end of the mapped surface ruptures, but the fit was poor. This implies adding 60 km to the previously mapped fault. Fig. doi: https://doi.org/10.1785/0120140119. (39.2 miles), 1967-01-20 01:57:23 UTC Levshin A.L. The problem being non-linear, we cannot quantify exactly the effect of friction. (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). Epicenter at 51.842, 95.911 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. at 06:17 February 26, 2012 UTC, Location: It is interesting to compare Bolnay earthquake with the Kokoxili earthquake (Kunlun, 2001 November 14, left lateral strike-slip, Mw = 7.9) whose nucleation and rupture depth are shallower than 20 km (Rivera et al. (66.2 miles), 1957-12-04 03:37:53 UTC Dalandzadgad 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. Epicenter at 39.496, 96.616 A land area in parts of Mongolia, China, and Russia, covering as much as two million square miles, was affected by these events and people experienced the shaking from east to west over a distance of 1,500 miles. Background [ edit] After a first earthquake that ruptured the Tsetserleg oblique fault strand, the second event ruptured the main Bulnay fault 14 days later. Most of the waveforms were explained except for the SV wave, since its amplitude and length were underestimated. The correction process continues with the combination of the NS and EW components in order to obtain the radial and transverse ones. 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. 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. 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 . His notes and maps lay in the archives of the Russian Geographic Society until they were discovered in 1957. 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. Report it! Okal (1977), using surface waves, proposed a total rupture length of about 200 30 km with a rupture velocity of 3.5 km s1. 195.2 km from Der Kniglichen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Gttingen. 1985)] which is one of the largest known events within a continental region. THE Kangra earthquake of 4 April 1905 in the north-west been ruptured by these great earthquakes. The average displacement is 2 0.5 m for the horizontal component and about 1 m for the vertical component. Epicenter at 46.938, 89.399 At the first step, we model a nucleation at 17 km depth, near the base of the seismogenic zone, and a rupture propagating down to 30 km, the schizosphere zone (Table 3a). Epicenter at 49.114, 89.707 52.2 km from Epicenter at 48.105, 103.064 1905-07-09 09:40:39 UTC at 09:40 July 09, 1905 UTC Location: Epicenter at 49.709, 98.483 . 2003). The most probable models suggested are pure strike-slip, striking N280E, dipping north 50 to 90 . The 1905 M8 Tsetserleg-Bulnay earthquake sequence, which occurred 14 days apart in Mongolia, constitutes one of the major continental strike-slip earthquake sequence ever documented. This Mongolia-related article is a stub. The Jena and Gttingen stations being very close, the recorded waveforms are very similar. (15.2 miles), 1931-08-18 14:21:05 UTC One occurred in 1931, one in 1957, and one in 1967, each one of magnitude 8 or greater, a rare record in the history of earthquakes anywhere in the world. As the vertical recording system did not exist that time, we used the values of emergence angles from the IASPEI91 model (Kennett 1991) in order to estimate the amplitudes of the SV and P. Within the working windows (140 to 150 s), we recorded the following waves: S/pS/sS/SPn/PnS which have a similar emergence angle (differences less than 0.5 degrees). (18.2 miles), 1938-10-19 04:13:30 UTC The obtained displacement on the central segment was 6.3 m, much higher than the 2 m observed on the field (Baljinnyam et al. Vetterling W.T. Its length is about 375 km (Fig. This implies a difference of less than 5 s between the length of P- and S-wave signals, too short to be observed with certainty. If we fix the depth to moderate value, the waveforms are explained (Table 3a). at 12:47 June 14, 1990 UTC, Location: We thank two anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of the manuscript, and their valuable suggestions. The case, in which both durations were equal, was rare. [6], Lasting damage to the landscape from the earthquake can be seen in the season 3 Mongolia special of the Amazon Prime motoring show The Grand Tour.[7][8]. 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 3.1 1.7 mm/yr over the Late Pleistocene-Holocene period. Berryman K. (28.2 miles), 1990-06-14 12:47:28 UTC 29.2 km from (1992) and McBride (1995) observed from seismic profiles that strike-slip faults can cut the Moho. 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. As 1Hz is a reasonable sampling for the digitization of low speed mechanical seismograph recordings and as we do not need higher frequencies, we sampled down the data to 1 second after applying a low pass filter (Butterworth with two poles) anti-aliasing at 2 s. The impact of the low pass filter is negligible for our study, as the record is made at teleseismic distances, and the natural period of our instruments is large, between 10 and 14 s. In order to fill the gaps at the minute marks, we applied a linear predictive filter (Press et al. P and S wave are available at Strasbourg but they cannot be used in the inversion do to high solid friction. A continuity of the waveform, during the gap related to the minutes mark, has been obtained using predictive filters. This work has been possible thanks to the archives of the world wide seismic stations. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (2015) 105 (1): 7293. Other arrivals during this period (PKiKP/pPKiKP/sPKiKP) have almost vertical emergence angles, and are quite invisible on the two horizontal components. Khovd These late events can then be considered as late aftershocks of the 1905 earthquakes (Schlupp 1996). Flannery B.P.. Ritz J.F. 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. This allows us to verify the quality of the different corrections and rotations previously done on the data, as shown in Fig. The low number of available stations leads us to fix a priori values for the parameters. A local stress tensor in the Tsetserleg area is proposed from surface ruptures. 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. This representation is not valid at the beginning of the signal. In 1905 there were about a hundred seismic stations operating around the world (Wood 1921). It appears then necessary to introduce another rupture mechanism at the beginning of the earthquake. They are several published empirical relation between length of surface rupture and displacement (Wells & Coppersmith 1994; Scholz 2002). We modelled first the Bolnay earthquake taking into account only the main fault, that is subvertical and oriented between N95 at the west and N90 to the east. The displacements are of the order of 3 1 m (Baljinnyam et al. at 16:35 December 17, 1938 UTC, Location: Y1 - 1977/3. Raisbeck G.M. 12). 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. Solonenko A.V.. Dverchre J. The half-width of source element has been fixed at 4 or 5 s for the longest ruptures, and at 3 s for the shortest ones. They consider that the duration of the upward motion of the needle is equal to the downward one. The Bulnay earthquake of July 23, 1905 (Mw 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.

The second criterion, (2), was used by Crouse & Matuschka (1983), who extrapolated the SEMOC methodology (Strong Earthquake Motion Centre, Japan) applied to SMAC accelerograms. 2001; Petit et al. The Uppsala, Gttingen and Jena stations were on granite, on limestone and on sandstone, respectively. However, the body waves were in general clearly recorded, except for one horizontal component of the Bolnay earthquake which was lost at Strasbourg. AU - Okal, Emile A. PY - 1977/3. 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. Actually, we can compare Jena, Gttingen, Strasbourg and Uppsala since their epicentre-station azimuth varies less than 9 (Fig. Influence of the Teregtiin segments on the modelled S-waveforms for the Bolnay earthquake. In the case of western Mongolia the crust is thick (50 5 km; Villaseor et al. 127.2 km from 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. Boschi E.. Petit C. Belichenko B.G.

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. The 1905 Tsetserleg earthquake occurred in or near the Tsetserleg Sum of Khvsgl Province in Mongolia on 9 July 1905. The correction done independently for Jena and Gttingen shows a very good correlation (Fig. There were no significant confirmed earthquakes in or near Mongolia in the past 24 hours.
