A linked stress release model for historical Japanese earthquakes: coupling among major seismic regions
A linked stress release model is proposed for the analysis of spatial interaction of earthquake occurrences through stress transfer within a large area of the Earth’s crust. As an example, the model is used for statistical analysis for the Japanese historical earthquakes in central Japan and offshore in the Nankai and Sagami troughs with magnitude M ≥ 6.5 during the period from 1400 to 1997. Th...
متن کاملScale-dependence of seismic energypto-moment ratio for strike- slip earthquakes in Japan
We analyzed four pairs of a large (Mw "'6) and a small (Mw "' 3.5 to 4) shallow strike-slip earthquakes to investigate the scale-dependence. of the seismic energy-tomoment ratio, an important macroscopic parameter which reflects the basic physical process of seismic slip. These earthquakes occurred in the south-western part of Japan, and high-quality close-in records (epicentral distance< 50 km...
متن کاملMagnitude Scaling of Induced Earthquakes
Presented are the results of an earthquake magnitude homogenization exercise for several datasets of induced earthquakes. The result of this exercise is to show that homogeneous computation of earthquake momentand local-magnitude is useful in hazard assessment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs). Data include records from EGSs in Basel (Switzerland), Soultz (France) and Cooper Basin (Australi...
متن کاملApparent Clustering and Apparent Background Earthquakes Biased by Undetected Seismicity
In models of triggered seismicity and in their inversion with empirical data, the detection threshold md is commonly equated to the magnitude m0 of the smallest triggering earthquake. This unjustified assumption neglects the possibility of shocks below the detection threshold triggering observable events. We introduce a formalism that distinguishes between the detection threshold md and the min...
