Preliminary study of the tectonic structure and seismogenic environment of the M4.7 Feidong earthquake sequence on September 18, 2024 in HefeiKey points by Hongyu Ni, Junlun Li, Huajian Yao, Xianliang Huang, Lingli Li, Dongrui Zhou, Xiaoli Wang, Shuyuan Yu, Yuanchao Lu, Jianfang Yu, Haigang Zheng, Guili Zhou, Hanwen Zou, Wen Yang, Ming Zhang, Guoyi Chen, Ye Lin, Guanling Peng, Zefeng Li, Haipeng Li

“…The results indicate: (1) the M4.7 Feidong earthquake sequence is concentrated around 10.5 km in depth along a NW-dipping, subvertical fault which trends NE and is approximately 5 km in length; the focal mechanism solution also reveals that the fault hosting the mainshock is a subvertical strike-slip fault, driven by the regional compressional stress in ENE-WSW; the coseismic horizontal displacement on the surface caused by the M4.7 mainshock has a maximum value close to 1 mm; (2) the regional velocity model shows significant lateral variation in vS in the source region, with the mainshock occurring in the area with higher velocity; high-resolution P-wave velocity structures obtained by full waveform inversion from active sources, and S-wave velocity structures from passive-source ambient noise tomography indicate that the mainshock occurred along the boundary between high- and low-velocity bodies, and the seismogenic fault dips NW; the deep seismic reflection profiling shows that the mainshock occurred within the Jurassic strata; (3) based on these results, we suggest the seismogenic fault for the M4.7 Feidong earthquake is either the Zhuding-Shimenshan fault, one of the major faults in the Tanlu fault zone, or a hidden fault to the east; the intersection of the NE-trending Tanlu fault zone and the WNW-trending Feizhong fault, along with significant velocity variations, likely create local stress concentrations which could have triggered the M4.7 Feidong earthquake sequence; (4) the strong aftershocks following the M4.7 Feidong mainshock did not further extend the fault rupture zone; the active period of the Zhuding-Shimenshan fault was the late Early Pleistocene to Middle Pleistocene, and the imaging results indicate that this fault does not cut through the shallow Feidong depression. …”
