人工诱发的水库地震问题,已广泛地引起工程地质,水文地质和地震地质工作者的注意。近50年来不少学者对水库地震的成因和诱发机制提出了不同意见,较为一致的是水库地震是一种特殊类型的构造地震,它的特殊之处就在于水对地震的触发作用,这种触发机理只是在活动构造总的地质背景下才显现出来。本文所介绍的邓家桥水库地震就是这种典型震例。 Man-made reservoir seismic problems have attracted the attention of engineering geology, hydrogeology and seismic geologists. In the past 50 years, many scholars have put forward different opinions on the causes and induced mechanisms of reservoir earthquakes. What is more consistent is that reservoir earthquakes are a special kind of tectonic earthquake. Its special feature lies in the triggering action of water on earthquakes. Triggering mechanism only revealed in the general geological setting of activities. The Dengjiaqiao Reservoir earthquake introduced in this paper is a typical earthquake example.
