Faulting parameters of the 1999 Mula earthquake, southeastern Spain
The seismicity of southern Spain is characterized by low-to-moderate earthquake activity (magnitudes <5.5) related to the convergence of the African and Eurasian plates. The detailed structure of this complex plate boundary is not well understood and the study of faulting parameters and depths of the small-to-moderate-size events can contribute much to our understanding of the regional stresses...
متن کاملFaulting Mechanism of the Gifu Earthquake of September 9, 1969, and Some Related Problems
quake was caused by left-lateral strike-slip motion along a vertical fault plane with dimensions of 20 by 10km striking in the N30°W direction. The strong-motion records from five JMA stations within a distance of 80km are compared with the synthetic seismograms computed from dynamic dislocation models. The comparison yields estimates for the seismic moment, average fault displacements, rise ti...
متن کاملIntraplate and interplate faulting interactions during the August 31, 2012, Philippine Trench earthquake (Mw 7.6) sequence
[1] On August 31, 2012, a large (Mw 7.6) thrust earthquake occurred within the subducting Philippine Sea plate seaward of a low seismicity region of the plate boundary (9.5 N– 11.5 N), possibly as a result of horizontal compressional stress accumulation offshore of a locked megathrust. The mainshock ruptured from 30–50 km depth, with high radiated-energy/seismic-moment ratio and enriched shortp...
متن کاملStresses and intermediate frequencies of strong earthquake acceleration
The peak of smooth Fourier amplitude spectra, (FS(T))max, of strong motion acceleration recorded in California is modeled via dimensional analysis. In this model, the spectrum amplitudes are proportional to (1) – the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) amplitude of the peak stresses on the fault surface in the areas of high stress concentration (asperities), and (2) (log10 N)1/2, where N is the number of...
متن کاملThe 1999 M w 7 . 1 Hector Mine , California , Earthquake Sequence : Complex Conjugate Strike - Slip Faulting
The 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine mainshock showed right-lateral strikeslip faulting, with an initial strike of N6 W and vertical dip. The mainshock was preceded within 20 hours by 18 recorded foreshocks of 1.5 M 3.8 within a few kilometers distance of the mainshock hypocenter. The aftershocks delineate how the Hector Mine earthquake ruptured with strike N6 W to the south for a distance of 15 km, and...
