The Bulnay earthquake of 23 July 1905 (M w 8.3-8.5), in northcentral Mongolia, is one of the world's largest recorded intracontinental earthquakes and one of four great earthquakes that occurred in the region during the twentieth century.The 375 km long surface rupture of the leftlateral, strikeslip, N095Etrending Bulnay fault associated with this earthquake is remarkable for . at 02:04 December 25, 1932 UTC, Location: 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. Melnikova V. This strategy is important as the result of the inversion depend strongly on the initial value of the parameters. For the P waves, we obtained good signals at Jena and Uppsala. at 00:14 January 05, 1967 UTC, Location: The best total seismic moment, Mo = 7.27 0.40 1021 N m, is comparable to that estimated by Okal (1977)(Mo = 5.5 2.5 1021 N m). 5.6 earthquake - 13 km east of Mugur-Aksy, Republic of Tyva, Russia, on Friday, Jul 29, 2022 at 8:01 pm (GMT +7). at 09:40 July 09, 1905 UTC, Location: Table 1 shows the station characteristics. (23.2 miles), 1927-05-22 22:32:49 UTC Show quakes near me! Voznesenskii & Dorogostaiskii (1914), Voznesenskii (1962) and Khil'ko et al. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. 2). (53.2 miles), 1931-11-05 12:19:35 UTC The Tsetserleg earthquake is located in a transition region where 1 goes from horizontal (south of Bolnay) to vertical (Bakal rift). 2001; Petit et al. The 1905 Bolnai earthquake occurred in or near the Asgat Sum of Zavkhan Province in Mongolia on 23 July. 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. We thank two anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of the manuscript, and their valuable suggestions. Since 1900, Mongolia had 294 quakes up to magnitude 8.3. Kosarev G.L. Enkhtuvshin B.. Rivera L. The displacements are of the order of 3 1 m (Baljinnyam et al. 4). We made the hypothesis that there was no P/SV conversion under the station that could modify the P waveform on the horizontal component, and then perturb the calculation of the P wave. 9.2 km from The total rupture length for the Tsetserleg earthquake may reach up to 190 km, in order to explain the width of the recorded body waves. Station parameters for Tsetserleg and Bolnay earthquakes, 1905 July 9 and 23. Depth: 15 km. 24.2 km from (1985) and Baljinnyam et al. 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. High-Resolution Satellite Imagery Mapping of the Surface Rupture and Slip Distribution of the Mw _7.8, 14 November 2001 Kokoxili Earthquake, Kunlun Fault, Northern Tibet, China, Variable crustal structure of strike-slip fault zones as observed on deep seismic reflection profiles, Seismometrsche Beobachtungen in Strassburgi. Thus we can explain the form and the polarity of the beginning of the SH and the P waves (Fig. The 1905 Tsetserleg earthquake occurred in or near the Tsetserleg Sum of Khvsgl Province in Mongolia on 9 July 1905. Epicenter at 46.817, 89.915 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. 1992) in the increasing and decreasing time directions, using the signal before and after, respectively. Menlo Park, CA 94025 The solid friction reduces the amplification factor functions of the natural period of the instrument, the signal frequency and the recorded amplitude. The total depth of the Bolnay rupture must be equal or larger than the nucleation depth. Epicenter at 51.639, 101.134 Voznesenskii and Dorogostaiskii reached the region only 3 months after the earthquake, but they had enough information to say that the first event is associated to the Tsetserleg earthquake, and the second one to Bolnay. On the other hand, the Tsetserleg ruptures change in direction near the Tesiin River, where there are structures with EW extension and NS compression, suggesting a 1 oriented NS. We can divide the Teregtiin fault into a north and south segment. At that time very little was known or documented about geological changes in that part of the world. Epicenter at 49.369, 96.61 The first segment, known as Tsetserleg, is oriented N60E and has been mapped over 130 km. [2], There are few records of the immediate effects of the earthquake due to the remoteness of Mongolia in 1905. This time drift can be linear, sinusoidal or complex. Khovd Central Mongolia. a: Model with an eastward rupture propagation: Mo total = 1.06 0.05 1021 N m = >;Mw = 7.95 0.02. 127.2 km from Ritzwoller M.H. We determined the source history of these events using body waveform inversion. All of the information we now have about the 1905 event came from one Russian seismologist who traveled to the area of the earthquake at his own expense, in 1905, and by primitive means of transportation. For 1 horizontal and oriented NS, the best shape factor R is 0 (2 = 3), meaning uniaxial compression (Armijo & Cisternas 1978). If we consider 1 oriented N30, the best result is obtained for R = 0.5, corresponding to triaxial compression with 3 vertical. Therefore, we allowed a freedom on the parameter rupture depth from 20 to 100 km. Amato A. 2). After a first earthquake that ruptured the Tsetserleg oblique fault strand, the second event ruptured the main Bulnay fault 14 days later. The best fit is obtained if it starts 17 s after the nucleation. Zaysan The parameters of the solutions for the Bolnay earthquake (1905 July 23). It also propagated 80 km to the southeast along the Teregtiin fault. at 18:21 December 22, 1906 UTC, Location: The decrease of amplitude is less than 10 per cent for values larger than 21 mm. The Tsetserleg rupture (azimuth N60) correspond to a N60 oriented branch of the long EW oriented Bolnay fault. Engdahl E.R. 1993). The last earthquake in Mongolia occurred 31 weeks ago: Strong mag. 1987; Chen 1988; Dverchre et al. . (2003) estimated a left lateral slip rate of 2.6 1 mm yr1 on the Bolnay fault, using GPS measurements (from 1994 to 2002), giving a return period of 4500 1750 yr. The maximum uncertainty induces a time error of 0.5 s at an amplitude of 30 mm. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. (151.2 miles), 2008-08-27 01:35:32 UTC Along the 80 km stretch, between 97.18E and 98.33E, the fault zone is characterized by several meters width and the mean left-lateral 1905 offset is 8.9 0.6 m with two measured cumulative offsets that are twice the 1905 slip. The surface ruptures show almost pure left lateral strike-slip with displacements between 8 2 and 11 2 m (Khil'ko et al. Epicenter at 51.607, 104.158 The case, in which both durations were equal, was rare. (20.2 miles), 2003-09-27 11:33:25 UTC We do not allow fault azimuth to vary more than 10 from the observed surface rupture and the slip or dip angles more than 20. Hence, we first considered a nucleation at the southwestern end of the mapped surface ruptures, but the fit was poor. Institut de Physique du Globe, 5 rue Ren Descartes, 67084 Strasbourg, France. 80.2 km from Petit C. 106.2 km from The cylinder and the paper are laterally displaced at a rate of 4.5 mm hr1 thus producing a helicoidally trace. In conclusion, the nucleation must be near the junction of the Teregtiin and Bolnay faults, thus respecting a mainly eastward rupture propagation. We inverted jointly these two parameters. 29.2 km from 6 Celebs Who Lost Their Lives Under the Knife. The correction done independently for Jena and Gttingen shows a very good correlation (Fig. The natural period, partially adjustable, varies between 9 and 15 s. The damping, by forced air circulation between a cylinder and a piston, is about = 4 1. 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. Therefore, we will test various nucleation depths between 17 and 55 km. The Bolnai earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 300[3] to 375[4] km along the fault, and possibly an additional 80km of the Teregtiin Fault. For our study, we consider it as negligible. We determined the source history of these events using body waveform inversion. Epicenter at 48.168, 103.036 1). On the other hand, there were no Wiechert vertical components before 1906. *Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates. Dverchre J. In consequence, it is possible for very large earthquakes to break under the seismogenic zone. The Dngen complex segment, a NS right lateral strike-slip of about 1.5 0.5 m, is at the junction between the ruptures of the July 9 and 23 earthquakes (Baljinnyam et al. (66.2 miles), 1957-12-04 03:37:53 UTC Y1 - 1977/3. at 04:24 December 03, 1960 UTC, Location: 195.2 km from 2003). This implies adding 60 km to the previously mapped fault. Every donation will be highly appreciated. The Bolnay earthquake, 14 days later, starts at the intersection between the main fault (left lateral strike-slip) and the Teregtiin fault (right lateral strike-slip). Der Kniglichen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Gttingen. at 16:35 December 17, 1938 UTC, Location: 2003). In this way we obtain the most stable solution, and source duration consistent with the length of the fault, considering a rupture velocity of 2.5 km s1. The Teregtiin fault has such an orientation that allows for important SH radiation in European stations. We could explain the strong amplitude on the SV and the rather small ones on the SH and P components. We deduced different b values for each record with an uncertainty going from 1 to 3 mm (Table 2). 86.2 km from 1995; Schlupp 1996) and displacements associated to the Bolnay earthquake (1905 July 23). at 02:46 July 23, 1905 UTC, Location: Epicenter at 45.189, 99.368 The second criterion, (2), was used by Crouse & Matuschka (1983), who extrapolated the SEMOC methodology (Strong Earthquake Motion Centre, Japan) applied to SMAC accelerograms. It starts at the southwest of the central subsegment, showing a left lateral strike-slip with a reverse component. 8a) because the stations are very near the nodal plan of the SH radiation. Nevertheless, the shift b of the axis of the arm with respect to the base line must be deduced directly from records. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America 2015;; 105 (1): 7293. Historical seismograms are being used more frequently now, due to the recent efforts to organize the collections, and to digitize the old records (Ferrari 2000; Michelini et al. The earthquake has been estimated at 8.25[3] to 8.4[2] on the moment magnitude scale. at 12:47 June 14, 1990 UTC, Location: Other arrivals during this period (PKiKP/pPKiKP/sPKiKP) have almost vertical emergence angles, and are quite invisible on the two horizontal components. The deformations due to the shift b are combined with those due to the whole geometry of the recording system. Two other smaller segments were activated on 1905 July 23. These late events can then be considered as late aftershocks of the 1905 earthquakes (Schlupp 1996). This last case appears to be the most satisfactory to explain our data. The dip angle and the nucleation depth were most of the time free.

For full access to this pdf, sign in to an existing account, or purchase an annual subscription. The observed surface ruptures are about 130 km long. Saryg-Sep The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 5 m,[3] and the duration is estimated at about one minute. 6. 3). In 1905, two M ~ 8 continental strike-slip earthquakes occurred along the Bulnay fault system, in the northwestern part of Mongolia. We're aiming to achieve uninterrupted service wherever an earthquake or volcano eruption unfolds, and your donations can make it happen! However, the body waves were in general clearly recorded, except for one horizontal component of the Bolnay earthquake which was lost at Strasbourg. A local stress tensor in the Tsetserleg area is proposed from surface ruptures. Vetterling W.T. [2] However, this interpretation is contested; field surveys after the earthquake show a complex rupture not necessarily characteristic of a strike-slip mechanism.[5]. at 12:19 November 05, 1931 UTC, Location: Particular thanks are due to the staff of Jena, Gttingen, Uppsala and Strasbourg stations. Epicenter at 45.971, 90.429 The earthquake has been estimated at 8.25 [3] to 8.4 [2] on the moment magnitude scale . 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. Materials from the department of Physical Geographical Society of the USSR, Map of the earthquakes of 9 and 23 July, 1905 (scale1/420 000) SPb, New empirical relationships among magnitude, rupture length, rupture width, rupture area, and surface displacement. 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. Bulgan at 02:49 February 13, 1933 UTC, Location: On the other hand, it propagated to the west along a N80 structure with left lateral strike-slip until its junction with the Bolnay fault. We have compared for each station the amplification curves without, and with, solid friction using Reid (1910, 1925) approximation which corresponds to an approximate harmonic representation of the non-linear response of the seismometer. By doing this, we obtained good results on most parts of the signal (Fig. Irkutskaya Oblast', Russia. Synthetic Love wave seismograms for a series of reasonable models of the catastrophic earthquakes of July 1905 in Mongolia are generated and compared to observed data, to help constrain the source parameters suggested from older field reports. Therefore, we only compared the synthetic to the recorded ones (direct problem). Yiou F. To evaluate the quality of the signal estimated in the gaps we profited from the fact that the available stations are close together, for example, Jena and Gttingen could be considered as a single station. An aftershock of almost the same magnitude occurred in the same location two weeks later. Epicenter at 39.496, 96.616 Lasserre C. 37.2 km from Tosontsengel Actually, we can compare Jena, Gttingen, Strasbourg and Uppsala since their epicentre-station azimuth varies less than 9 (Fig. Laojunmiao Altay Mongolia has had: (M1.5 or greater) 0 earthquakes in the past 24 hours 0 earthquakes in the past 7 days 0 earthquakes in the past 30 days 20 earthquakes in the past 365 days The largest earthquake in Mongolia: this year: 5.6 in Mugur-Aksy , Tyva , Russia Sorted: Biggest Nearby Places 102 years ago 8.3 magnitude, 15 km depth 1993:Mw = 7.5 0.1. Solutions for an eastward propagation during the Tsetserleg earthquake. 8c). Epicenter at 50.038, 87.813 10.2 km from Raisbeck G.M. 1993). They are orientated N 80 5 and they displace a river in a left lateral way (Table 4a). 12). The Teregtiin segment oriented N160, is characterized by a right lateral motion at the south west of the Bolnay fault. (29.2 miles), 2003-09-27 18:52:46 UTC Their observations were completed by Aprodov (1960), Khil'ko et al. Bulgan The seismic moment of the Tsetserleg earthquake is 1.06 (0.05) 1021 N m with a magnitude Mw = 8. Other branch is called the Dngen fault, located to the north of the Bolnay rupture, near its centre, and close to the junction of Bolnay and Tsetserleg. (1985) reported a right lateral component on a subvertical NS oriented fault. 69.2 km from A year later the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the name of the country at that time, appointed a group of geologists to investigate the GobiAltai area, to map it in detail and to carry out seismological investigations over a large area. However, the seismic moment of Kokoxili is about 1021 N m (with 400 km active fault and slip of about 6 m) when the main segment of Bolnay is at minimum 3.3 1021 N m (with 375 km active fault and slip of about 10 m). Berryman K. Mordvinova V.V. On the other hand, the synthetic seismograms have been convoluted with the transfer function of each instrument, before comparison with the observed records. (2003). Antoine Schlupp, Armando Cisternas, Source history of the 1905 great Mongolian earthquakes (Tsetserleg, Bolnay), Geophysical Journal International, Volume 169, Issue 3, June 2007, Pages 11151131, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-246X.2007.03323.x. The nucleation and rupture depths remain uncertain. When the first gap is preceded by only few seconds of signal, the quality of the prediction is limited. The average horizontal displacements are of 10 2 m over 200 km, 8 2 m over 100 km and 5 2 m over 75 km (Baljinnyam et al. The best results were obtained when we invert one to two parameters together, avoiding a rapid drift to aberrant solutions. This Mongolia-related article is a stub. On July 9, 1905, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 occurred in the Gobi-Altai region of southwestern Mongolia, close to the Chinese border. The southern 50 km are complex (Voznesenskii & Dorogostaiskii 1914), with subvertical left lateral strike-slip faults oriented N80 (Khil'ko et al. (1985). (29.2 miles), 1938-12-17 16:35:28 UTC M. Rizza, J.F. at 11:33 September 27, 2003 UTC, Location: Did Trump Ruin America for Good? Considering the amplitudes being analysed, these uncertainties are negligible. The low number of available stations leads us to fix a priori values for the parameters. at 18:52 September 27, 2003 UTC, Location: Ritz J.F. Epicenter at 36.888, 105.606 In the case of the Bolnay earthquake, the source duration is 150 s if we suppose a rupture velocity of 2.5 km s1 and a unilateral rupture along the 375 km of the main fault. left cracks distinctly expressed in the relief of the . Surface ruptures, epicentre (star), focal mechanism of each segment, and rupture propagation direction (open arrows) for Tsetserleg (green) and Bolnay (red) earthquakes. Calais et al. Kurtz R.D. It appears then necessary to introduce another rupture mechanism at the beginning of the earthquake. 1993) seems underestimated in a region where the crust is thickened. "Source history of the 1905 great Mongolian earthquakes (Tsetserleg, Bolnay)", "Fault interaction and stress triggering of twentieth century earthquakes in Mongolia", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1905_Tsetserleg_earthquake&oldid=1133365086, This page was last edited on 13 January 2023, at 12:01. 2002). 1995), 3.4 105 in the case of Fu Yun earthquake (Chinese Altay, 1931 August 10) and 1.5 105 in the case of Kokoxili (Kunlun, 2001 November 14). It implies about 2.4 m of displacement on the central segment and 2.6 m on the southwestern segment, in agreement with the 2.3 m considered by Baljinnyam et al. Secure .gov websites use HTTPS Latest earthquakes in Mongolia: list & interactive map Updated: Feb 4, 2023 14:56 GMT - 1 day 6 hours ago refresh Felt a quake? The rupture of Himalaya was the first of several devastating 20th century the remaining half of the Himalayan Arc in future M = 8 earthquakes to occur in northern India. The amplification adjustment is mechanical, uses connecting rod and lever, and it is separated for each component. If we consider the length of mapped surface ruptures (130 km) and the width of the body waveforms (7080 s), we obtain a very low rupture velocity in the bilateral case. If the deformation rate is slow, the region under the seismogenic layer moves with ductile flow, while during an earthquake it becomes brittle. San'kov V. Its length is about 375 km (Fig. Historical seismograms recorded by Wiechert instruments are digitized and corrected for the geometrical deformation due to the recording system.

After scanning the records at high resolution, the original trace was precisely redrawn by using Adobe Illustrator. Will The Chinese Spy Balloon Start a War With China? Geologists have concluded that, in this poorly understood region, events like these appeared in cycles over geological time with recurrence rates of several thousands of years. The obtained displacement on the central segment was 6.3 m, much higher than the 2 m observed on the field (Baljinnyam et al. 47.2 km from Source: Depth and magnitude of quakes versus time plot. 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. (50.2 miles), 1958-04-07 19:13:29 UTC The polarization of S waves at the Gttingen station changes from NW, at the beginning of the signal, to NE at the end, thus suggesting two different mechanisms. (32.2 miles), 2012-02-26 06:17:19 UTC The first part of the paper concerns the instrumental corrections. 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. Tapponnier P. Seismic reflection profiling and the structure of the continental lithosphere. Epicenter at 49.709, 98.483 1993). These observations suggest that the displacement produced during the penultimate event was similar to the 1905 slip. For the Bolnay earthquake, the seismic moment vary from 3.97 (0.47) 1021 to 7.27 (0.40) 1021 N m functions of the model considered. 1993). There were no significant confirmed earthquakes in or near Mongolia in the past 24 hours. The local velocity model used was one simple half-space crustal model with Vp = 6 km s1Vs = 3.46 km s1 density = 2.75 g cm3. Report it! This appears to be the minimum depth of the rupture on Bolnay fault. The error is usually due to the imprecise clock used, or to variations of the rotation rate of the drive cylinder. The problem being non-linear, we cannot quantify exactly the effect of friction. Next, keeping the source nucleation at 17 km, we tested the propagation of the rupture in depth between 30 and 80 km (Table 3b). Aktash In the case of P waves, we obtained the signal only at Uppsala. We cannot reject the possibility that the rupture propagates down through the whole crust (50 5 km), or even through a part of the lithosphere, which is about 100 km thick in this region (Villaseor et al. To determine the unknown parameters, we either inverted each of them, or we tested a set of a priori values, by using the Nabelek (1984) program. (28.2 miles), Location: 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. Now at AixMarseille Unisit, CNRSIRDCollge de France, CEREGE UMR 34, BP80 13545 Aix en Provence, France; rizza@cerege.fr. The Tsetserleg earthquake is believed to be a strike-slip rupture of a branch of the Bolnai Fault, extending about 190 km. doi: https://doi.org/10.1785/0120140119.

The northern 80 km correspond to a reverse left lateral fault oriented N 60 10, with a dip of 65 10 to the NW, and a slip angle of 40 20. Epicenter at 37.645, 102.489 Tocheport A. The horizontal component works as a reversed pendulum with a stationary mass of approximately 1000 kg. Most of the waveforms were explained except for the SV wave, since its amplitude and length were underestimated. at 19:13 April 07, 1958 UTC, Location: Near the intersection with the Bolnay fault, the movement becomes purely strike-slip. Belichenko B.G. It would be at least 40 km for Bolnay. Epicenter at 48.105, 103.064 Houdry-Lmont F. These observations suggest that the displacement produced during the penultimate event was similar to the 1905 slip. THE Kangra earthquake of 4 April 1905 in the north-west been ruptured by these great earthquakes. An empirical relation has been proposed where the displacement u = L, with = 1.5 105 for plate boundaries and 6.5 105 for intraplate earthquakes (Scholz et al. Lemiszki & Brown (1988), Blundel (1990), Klemperer & Peddy (1992), Jones et al. Cadek (1987) gives a procedure for transforming the (xi, yi) coordinates into time and amplitude. Wesnousky S.G.. Villaseor A. Dalandzadgad Flannery B.P.. Ritz J.F. The depth of the rupture was always free. The variation in amplitude, due to the observed b shift (maximum 33 mm), is less than 1 per cent for an arm length of 450 mm. We fixed the depth of the nucleation at 15 km, but allowed for a deep propagation of the rupture (Tables 4a and b). 2003) in the area of the Tsetserleg and Bolnay earthquakes. Ellis R.G.. Klinger Y. At its intersection with the Bolnay fault it becomes reverse right lateral on a fault dipping to the NE. Aktash Gileva N. TY - JOUR. Epicenter at 51.839, 95.921 (121.2 miles), 1950-04-04 18:44:19 UTC Your email address will not be published. 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. We checked this postulate on modern seismograms. 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. Lake Baykal, Russia. Thus, the region of the 1905 events consists of a transition zone with a rotation of 1 from N3049 to NS. In fact, we did not find any record of surface waves other than the one used by Okal (1977). Nevertheless, we cannot explain the amplitude or the SH polarity (Fig. We use predictive filters to recover the signals lost at the minute marks.

Then, for signal duration of 150 s, the use of a unique emergence angle is acceptable for the 1905 July 9 and 23 events except for the end of the P wave which could be affected by PcP with another emergence angle. Finally, we invert first the less constrained parameters, and later on the remaining ones in order to verify the stability of the solution. Although the surface ruptures associated with these two events are well-preserved due to dry climate, they had only been mapped in details along short sections.
