摘要
通过反演震源机制数据,得到了东日本大地震前后日本东部内陆地区的应力场。地震前,在东北部(Tohoku),σ1轴呈EW方向,但在关东-东部(Kanto-Chubu)地区则呈NW-SE方向。地震后,在Tohoku北部和靠近磐城市(Iwaki City)的Tohoku东南部,应力场发生了变化,主应力取向大致等同于与地震相关的静应力变化取向。这说明地震前这些地区的差应力值小于1MPa。在Tohoku中部,虽然地震后加载的应力取向几乎逆转,但其应力场没有发生变化,说明那里的差应力值大大超过1MPa。在Kanto-Chubu,地震后加载了与背景应力方向近乎相同的应力,且应力场没有发生预期的变化。这可能就是Kanto-Chubu地区高地震活动水平的诱因。
