Imágenes sísmicas de la corteza al sur de las Islas Marías (México): Proyecto TSUJAL

Abstract

[ES] La región occidental de México tiene un elevado interés tanto geológico como tectónico debido principalmente a la interacción de las placas de Rivera - Norteamérica y el Bloque de Jalisco. Para estudiar esta región, se llevó a cabo en 2014 el experimento geofísico TSUJAL, donde se obtuvieron datos de batimetría multihaz, sísmica de reflexión multicanal, sísmica de gran ángulo, campos potenciales (gravimetría y magnetismo) y sísmica de alta resolución. En el marco de este estudio, se presentan los resultados más significativos de un perfil sísmico profundo mar-tierra de gran ángulo de 220 km, realizado al sur de las Islas Marías con una orientación SW-NE y perpendicular a la costa en dirección hacia Tepic (Nayarit). Este perfil está constituido por una red de 4 OBS y 30 estaciones sísmicas terrestres que registraron los disparos de aire comprimido proporcionados por el RRS James Cook a intervalos de 120 s a lo largo de una línea sísmica marina (RTSIM04) de 110 km de longitud. Los datos obtenidos tras el procesado, análisis e interpretación de este perfil sísmico caracterizan sísmicamente la zona de contacto entre las placas de Rivera y Norteamérica entre los 30 y 60 km de distancia del origen del modelo propuesto en este estudio. Además, se observa un engrosamiento de la corteza hacia el interior de 9 a 20 km. En el manto superior se han obtenido velocidades de 7.9-8.4 km/s hasta una profundidad máxima de 50 km

[EN] The profound geological and tectonic interest that the Mexican Pacific Margin has is mainly due to the collision zone between Rivera and North American plates and Jalisco Block. This region has been recently studied by the TSUJAL geophysical experiment in 2014. The main goal of this project is to achieve a better knowledge about this active margin and the seismic and tsunamigenic potential structural sources. To carry out this objective a set of multibeam bathymetric, potential fields, high resolution seismic, MCS and WAS data were obtained. In the frame of this study, we present the most significant results of wide angle seismic profile RTSIM04 carried out across the southern region of Islas Marías perpendicular to the coast towards Tepic in Nayarit with 220 km of length and SW-NE orientated. This profile is made of by a network of 4 OBS and 30 land seismic stations, deployed specially for this project, which registered the air gun shots provided by RRS James Cook every 120 s. Data obtained after processing and interpretation characterize seismically the contact zone between Rivera and North American plates from 30 to 60 km of model distance. Moreover, a cortical thickening from 9 to 20 km is observed towards to the coast. In the upper mantle, P-wave velocities of 7.9-8.4 km/s up to maximum depth of 50 km have been determined
