Fault parameters of the 1896 Sanriku Tsunami Earthquake estimated from Tsunami Numerical Modeling
The June 15, 1896 Sanriku earthquake generated devastating tsunamis with the maximum run-up of 25 m and caused the worst tsunami disaster in the history of Japan, despite its moderate surface wave magnitude (Ms=7.2) and weak seismic intensity. This is a typical tsunami earthquake, which generates anomalously larger tsunamis than expected from its seismic waves. Previously proposed mechanisms of...
متن کاملTsunami Generation of the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake
-Heterogeneous fault motion of the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki earthquake is studied by using seismic, geodetic and tsunami data, and the tsunami generation from the fault model is examined. Seismological analyses indicate that the focal mechanism of the first 10 s, when about a third of the total moment was released, is different from the overall focal mechanism. A joint inversion of geodetic dat...
متن کاملScaling of earthquake fault parameters
The long-standing conflict between the predictions of elastic dislocation models and the observation that average coseismic slip increases with rupture length is resolved with application of a simple displacement-depth function and assumption that the base of the seismogenic zone does not result from the onset of viscous relaxation, but rather a transition to stable sliding in a medium that rem...
متن کاملAnalysis of Seismological and Tsunami Data from the 1993 Guam Earthquake
-The fault parameters of the Guam earthquake of August 8, 1993 are estimated from seismological analyses, and the possibility of identifying the actual fault plane from tsunami waveforms is tested. The Centroid Moment Tensor solution of long-period surface waves shows one nodal plane shallowly dipping to the north and the other nodal plane steeply dipping to the south. The seismic moment is 3.5...
متن کاملSynthesis ofzce StudiesKurile Islands Earthquake of October 13, 1963
Normal mode solutions for • spherical earth model are superposed to obtain realistic synthetic surface waves for various force systems. The calculation of excitation functions is greatly facilitated by the variational technique. The effects of attenuation anal instrument response are included in the synthesis. The synthesized seismograms are compared with the actual seismograms for wave form, a...
