Variation of lithospheric magnetic field anomalies before and after the Guye,Tangshan MS5.1 earthquake in 2020
Based on the mobile geomagnetic data of Tangshan and its adjacent areas obtained from September 2019 to April 2021,we construct the variation model of the lithospheric magnetic field anomaly in the Tangshan area and analyze the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of the litho-spheric magnetic field before and after the Guye MS5.1 earthquake on July 12,2020.The results show the following:(1)There is a shift in the direction of the horizontal lithospheric magnetic field variation and an obvious decrease in its amplitude before the earthquake;before and after the earthquake,the lithospheric magnetic field experiences a spatiotemporal evolution process of"dispersing from the epicenter to the periphery→gathering from the periphery to the epicenter→reversing its direction."(2)The total intensity of the lithospheric magnetic field at measurement points near the epicenter varies regularly in time and sequence,exhibiting the characteristic of"slowly decreasing before the earthquake→sharply increasing during the coseismic period→sharp-ly decreasing after the earthquake."(3)Based on the piezomagnetic effect analysis and the meta-instability model of the fault,we consider that the spatiotemporal variation of the lithospheric magnetic field anomalies before and after the earthquake is caused by the accumulation and release of the in-situ stress of the main faults near the epicenter.
