No. of bitstreams: 1 SandroGFAG.pdf: 1252298 bytes, checksum: 72f92e485f189074de48f58893f848c0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-03-30 === This dissertation presents a study on crustal seismic anisotropy in Cascavel - CE. The earthquake data employed here are from the Seismological Laboratory at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and were colected from 29 September 1997 to 05 march 1998 using six three-component digital seismographic stations. In general, the cause of the observed seismic anisotropy in many regions of the world is interpreted in terms of fluid-filled stress aligned microcracks in the rockmass (EDA). In other words, the polarisation direction of the faster shear-wave splitting is parallel to SHmax. However, other researches on seismic anisotropy carried out in NE Brazil have shown a remarkable consistency of the faster shear-wave polarisation direction with the direction of the Precambrian fabric. The present work is another case study that is used to investigate this issue. In order to map the Precambrian fabric we used aeromagnetic data, since the study area is mostly covered with sediments (up to 50m thick) and in-situ field mapping would be very difficult to be carried out. According to the results from the present research, the observations of the faster shear-wave polarisation directions in two seismographic stations in Cascavel region are best explained in the framework of EDA. For the remaining two stations, the observed anisotropy may have two interpretions: (i) - 90_ flips of the direction of polarisation of the faster shear-wave, since that the event-to-station ray path would be through the fracture zone and hence would travel under a higher pore pressure and (ii) - the observed seismic anisotropy would agree with the direction on the ductile Precambrian fabric === Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a anisotropia s?smica crustal na regi?o de Cascavel - CE. Para tal an?lise, foram utilizados os dados, cedidos pelo Laborat?rio Sismol?gico da UFRN, coletados durante o per?odo de 29 de setembro de 1997 a 05 de mar?o de 1998, atrav?s de uma rede sismogr?fica digital de tr?s componentes, composta por seis esta??es. Freq?entemente, a causa da anisotropia s?smica crustal em in?meras regi?es do mundo, ? interpretada como sendo efeito do alinhamento de poros e microfraturas saturados por fluidos, induzido pelo regime de esfor?o atual (EDA). Recentemente, pesquisas realizadas na regi?o Nordeste do Brasil apresentaram uma interpreta??o cujos resultados para as observa??es da anisotropia crustal, apontaram uma consist?ncia das dire??es de polariza??o da onda S mais r?pida (onda S1), com a petrotrama d?ctil pr?-cambriana. Para o mapeamento dos lineamentos pr?-cambrianos na regi?o, usamos os resultados obtidos da assinatura magn?tica da ?rea, j? que a mesma ? coberta por sedimentos (de at? 50m de espessura), tornando dif?cil o mapeamento desses alinhamentos em campo. Observa??es de dire??es de polariza??o da onda S mais r?pida obtidas por esta disserta??o, em quatro esta??es sismogr?ficas, para a regi?o de Cascavel - CE, mostram consist?ncia com o mecanismo da EDA para duas esta??es. Para as outras duas esta??es sismogr?ficas restantes, a anisotropia observada pode ter duas interpreta??es: (i) rota??o de 90_ na dire??o de polariza??o da onda S1, uma vez que os raios s?smicos percorreriam trajet?rias ao longo da zona de falha, e de a mesma estar sobre uma press?o de poro alta e (ii) - a anisotropia observada concordaria com a petrotrama d?ctil pr?-cambriana
