description |
Earthquake occurrence is a consequence of many processes within the Earth such as tectonic stress loading, fluid diffusion or static stress triggering. As a result of this, patterns of spatial and temporal distribution, that earthquakes have historically displayed, keep the footprint of the mechanisms that give them origin. Quantifying these patterns and the extent of the causality and correlation between seismic events is then an interesting and useful subject of study. It is useful because it opens the doors to more accurate estimations of the behavior of earthquakes, which inherently decreases the risk of catastrophes. The Colombian Pacific region is a zone that presents a high degree of geological complexity, it lies parallel to a trench where the Nazca plate subducts below the South American Plate, which inherently results in increased seismic activity and rupture. In this study a sequence of 134 events that happened in this zone in a period of 68 months is studied. These earthquakes are organized in complex spatial structures that were separated trough clustering analysis and then subjected to geostatistical analysis. The geostatistical analysis consisted of: an evaluation of the distribution of events as a function of time and a semivariogram analysis, by which the degree of correlation between events was studied. The interaction within these events is highly complex but, to some extent, some system wide correlations are observed. As opposed to what was initially expected, the semivariogram analysis did not manage to measure the degree of correlation for this particular sequence. What this means is that all semivariograms lie within a zone that denotes no-correlation and present a generalized uncorrelated form |

Como resultado de esto, los patrones de distribución espacial y temporal que los terremotos han mostrado históricamente guardan la huella de los mecanismos que los originan. Cuantificar dichos patrones y la extensión de la causalidad y correlación entre eventos sísmicos es por lo tanto una materia de estudio útil e interesante. Es útil ya que abre las puertas a un área de estudio donde las estimaciones del comportamiento de los terremotos adquieren mayor precisión, lo cual inherentemente reduce el riesgo de catástrofes. La región Pacífica de Colombia es una zona que presenta un alto grado de complejidad en su geología, yace paralela a una trinchera donde la placa Nazca subduce por debajo de la placa Sur Americana, lo que automáticamente resulta en una mayor actividad sísmica y en ruptura. En este estudio se considera una secuencia de 134 eventos que ocurrieron en esta zona en un periodo de 68 meses. Estos terremotos se organizan en estructuras espaciales complejas, dichas estructuras fueron separadas por medio de análisis de clusters y luego analizadas usando métodos geoestadísticos. El análisis geoestadístico consistió de: La evaluación de la distribución de los eventos como función del tiempo y un análisis de semivariogramas, por medio del cual el grado de correlación entre los eventos fue estudiado. La interacción entre los eventos estudiados es de alta complejidad, sin embargo, hasta cierto punto es posible observar correlaciones a lo largo de todo el sistema. A diferencia de lo que se esperaba, el análisis por medio de semivariogramas no logró medir el grado de correlación para esta secuencia particular. Lo que esto significa es que todos los semivariogramas experimentales obtenidos se encuentran dentro de una zona que denota ausencia de correlación y en general presentan una forma que no muestra relación entre la causalidad de los eventosGeocientíficoPregrado75 hojasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los AndesGeocienciasFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Geocienciasinstname:Universidad de los Andesreponame:Repositorio Institucional SénecaSeismotectonic characterization of the Colombian Pacific region: identification of tectonic patterns through geostatistical analysisTrabajo de grado - Pregradoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_7a1fhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/TPTerremotosSismologíaGeologíaGeocienciasPublicationTEXTu807526.pdf.txtu807526.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain106323https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/bb1dfdd2-afbe-43a8-a281-1883f787f7fe/download11b6f6691f7f093d166974d54c0e1b0dMD54ORIGINALu807526.pdfapplication/pdf1758261https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/ebc4344e-077d-4cef-96f7-a3633bb42aca/download7b907a5e1738954e8c5931394ae438ceMD51THUMBNAILu807526.pdf.jpgu807526.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg8938https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/a4f41d57-5fc6-4d6e-b872-e24ac74eb823/download722fba98fd906a53afd738e1d5891aa3MD551992/39968oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/399682023-10-10 16:45:56.875http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
