Multiple-fault rupture of the M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake from fault zone trapped waves
[1] We studied the complex multiple-faulting pattern of the 40-km-long rupture zone of the 1999 M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake with fault zone trapped waves generated by near-surface explosions and aftershocks, and recorded by linear seismic arrays deployed across the surface rupture. The explosion excited trapped waves, with relatively large amplitudes at 3–5 Hz and a long duration o...
متن کاملLow-velocity damaged structure of the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield from fault zone trapped waves
[1] We used dense linear seismic arrays across and along the San Andreas Fault (SAF) at Parkfield, California to record fault zone trapped waves generated by explosions and microearthquakes in 2002. Prominent trapped waves appeared at stations close to the SAF main fault trace while some energy was trapped in the north strand at the array site. Observations and 3-D finitedifference simulations ...
متن کاملStructural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran
NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...
متن کاملVelocity contrast along the Calaveras fault from analysis of fault zone head waves generated by repeating earthquakes
[1] We systematically investigate the velocity contrast along the Calaveras fault that ruptured during the 1984 Morgan Hill earthquake using fault zone head waves (FZHW) that refract along the fault interface. We stack waveforms in 353 sets of repeating clusters, and align the peaks or troughs of the direct P waves assuming rightlateral strike-slip focal mechanisms. The obtained velocity contra...
متن کاملGeochemistry of soil gas in the seismic fault zone produced by the Wenchuan Ms 8.0 earthquake, southwestern China
The spatio-temporal variations of soil gas in the seismic fault zone produced by the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan Ms 8.0 earthquake were investigated based on the field measurements of soil gas concentrations after the main shock. Concentrations of He, H2, CO2, CH4, O2, N2, Rn, and Hg in soil gas were measured in the field at eight short profiles across the seismic rupture zone in June and December 200...
