Estimación de la estructura cortical de velocidades sísmicas en el suroeste de la sierra de Pie de Palo, provincia de San Juan

Abstract

En este trabajo se muestran resultados relacionados con la estructura de corteza en la región de la sierra de Pie de Palo perteneciente a las Sierras Pampeanas Occidentales a partir de funciones del receptor telesísmicas para la estación sismológica Coronel Fontana (31,605°S y 68,238°O). Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto evidencias de dos discontinuidades intracorticales a profundidades de 13 y 28 km aproximadamente y una discontinuidad más profunda cerca de 47 km de profundidad que correspondería al Moho. Los valores de contraste entre las velocidades de ondas P y S (Vp/Vs) para estas discontinuidades son en general elevados. En particular, la región comprendida entre 13 y 28 km de profundidad muestra los valores más altos de Vp/Vs lo cual indicaría un mayor grado de fracturación o fallamiento para esta zona de la corteza. Los resultados indican una densificación de la corteza inferior.

In this paper receiver function results beneath the seismic station Coronel Fontana (31,605°S and 68,238°W), in the western Sierras Pampeanas are shown. These results provide evidence for two intracrustal discontinuities at depths of 13 km and 28 km approximately and a deeper discontinuity near 47 km depth, which correlates with the Moho. Overall the ratio between the seismic velocities of P and S waves (Vp/Vs) for these discontinuities are high. In particular, the region between 13 and 28 km depth shows the higher values of Vp/Vs, which is consistent with a higher degree of fracturing and faulting. The results also indicate a denser composition of the lower crust.
