Analysis of the Characteristic of the North Korean Seismic Event Occurred on 23 September, 2017
-
摘要: 2017年9月23日16时29分在朝鲜丰溪里核试验场发生3.4级地震。本文基于中国地震台网对该地震事件的波形记录,分析认为:该事件不是一次简单的单独过程,虽然事件开始时发生爆破,但事件主体是由断层错动产生的天然地震。这次事件是爆破和天然地震相继发生的复合型事件。Abstract: A M3.4 seismic event occurred in the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in North Korea at 16:29 on September 23, 2017. We analyzed the waveforms of this event recorded by China earthquake network. In conclusion, this event is complex including an explosion occurred with a successive earthquake. Although the beginning of the event is explosion, fault dislocation plays the main role in the event.
