Resumen
En la región Chacopampeana se identifican dos clústers de sismos: uno somero de baja intensidad generado por la reactivación transpresional intracortical del Lineamiento Transbrasiliano (LTB), y ii) otro muy profundo y de mayor intensidad dispuesto submeridianalmente en las provincias de Santiago del Estero, Chaco y Formosa asociado con las expresiones más distales de la subducción de la placa de Nazca. El reciente terremoto del 31 mayo del 2022 a las 0:57:06 (UTC) con hipocentro a 10 km (24.761°S - 58.211°O) se dispone sobre la traza del LTB. Esta coincidencia espacial permite sugerir su origen por la liberación de energía producida por la reactivación andina de sus antiguos fallamientos tectónicos. El LTB es una zona de sutura transcontinental de primer orden durante la consolidación del Gondwana Occidental previo a la apertura Atlántica. Limita ambientes cratónicos de Brasil, Argentina y Paraguay y, en su continuación africana, separa bloques cratónicos en Benín, Togo y Argelia. En la región Chacopampeana de Paraguay y Argentina, el LTB se dispone entre los cratones Rodinia y Rio de la Plata y se considera que debido a la convergencia Andina se reactiva de modo transpresional dextral. La extensa cubierta sedimentaria meso-cenozoica impide la expresión en superficie del LTB, sin embargo, es posible interpretarlo en el subsuelo a partir de los escasos pozos exploratorios y estudios geofísicos disponibles (relevamientos 2D de reflexión sísmica, magnetotelúricos y gravimétricos).
The main seismological characteristics of the Chacopampean region allow the identification of 2 different earthquake clusters: a) a shallow one of low intensity, linked to the Transbrazilian Lineament (LTB) by its intracortical transpressional reactivation, and b) another very deep one of higher intensity, located submeridionally in the provinces of Santiago del Estero, Chaco and Formosa, linked to the most distal expressions of the subduction of the Nazca Plate. The spatial coincidence of the recent earthquake of May 31, 2022 at 0:57:06 (UTC) with hipocenter at 10 km (24.761°S and 58.211°W), with the trace of the LTB suggests its linkage by facilitating the release of energy by Andean tectonic faulting reactivation. The TL is a first-order transcontinental suture zone during the consolidation of Western Gondwana prior to the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the boundary of the cratonic environments of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and, in its African continuation, the cratonic blocks of Benin, Togo and Algeria. In the Chacopampean region of Paraguay and Argentina, it is associated with the cratonic dextral transpressional convergence of the Rodinia and Rio de la Plata blocks, where the extensive Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary cover prevents its surface expression. However, it can be interpreted in the subsurface from the few exploration wells and geophysical surveys available (2D seismic reflection, magnetotelluric and gravimetric surveys).
