Abstract
Abstract : Based on Sentinel-1 satellite lifting orbit SAR data, the co-seismic deformation field of the Mw6.4 earthquake in Hualien County, Taiwan in 2018 was extracted. The results show that the maximum surface deformation caused by the Hualien earthquake in 2018 was 38.2 cm, mainly uplift, and the maximum relative displacement of the upper and lower plates of the fault was 50 cm. Using the surface deformation data of lifting rails observed by InSAR, the fault three-dimensional sliding distribution model of the two earthquakes in Hualien, Taiwan in 2018 and 2021 was constructed respectively. The results show that the main seismic fault of the Mw6.4 earthquake in Hualien in 2018 was a western tilt hidden fault close to the Milun fault. The maximum sliding volume of the fault was 1.8 m, mainly left-hand strike slip and a small amount of thrust component. The fault rupture spreads to the west side of the Milun fault, affecting the seismic activity of the Lingding fault and the Milun fault. The 2021 Hualien Mw6.0 earthquake occurred in the northern section of Lingding Fault. The maximum sliding volume of the fault is 0.38 m. The fault sliding is mainly left-hand strike-slip. Both earthquake events have high-inclination sliding characteristics. Combining the redistribution of static Coulomb stresses of the two earthquakes and M-T maps, it was found that the 2018 Hualien earthquake triggered the 2021 earthquake, and the stress was transmitted from high latitude to adjacent low latitudes along the fault. The seismic activity in the Hualien area and offshore waters is still strong in the short period, mainly manifested in the frequent occurrence of small earthquakes and the short birth cycle of medium and strong earthquakes.
