Complex microseismic activity and depth-dependent stress field changes in Wakayama, southwestern Japan
We examined the spatial relationship between seismicity and upper crustal structure in the Wakayama region, northwestern Kii Peninsula, Japan, by investigating microearthquake focal mechanisms and the local stress field. The focal mechanisms of most events studied fall into three categories: (1) normal faulting with N–S-oriented T-axes mainly occurring at shallow depths, (2) reverse faulting wi...
متن کاملSeismic Structure of the Mantle Beneath the Southwestern Pacific
We jointly invert 1396 frequency-dependent travel times of turning and surface waves such as S, sS, SS, sSS, SSS, Sa, R1, and G1, together with 82 travel times of multiple ScS waves, to obtain a high-resolution, two-dimensional (2-D) vertical tomogram for the corridor between the Ryukyu subduction zone and Hawaii, which traverses the Hawaiian Swell between Midway and Oahu. The data analysis, in...

متن کاملInternal Tides in the Southwestern Japan/East Sea
This paper investigates the internal tidal energy distribution in the southwestern Japan/East Sea using vertical round-trip travel time (τ) data from 23 pressure-sensor-equipped inverted echo sounders (PIESs). The τ records are analyzed by band-pass filtering to separate time-dependent variability of the semi-diurnal and diurnal bands. The semi-diurnal internal tides exhibit a horizontal beam p...
متن کاملTectonics of the Intermountain Seismic Belt , Western United States : Microearthquake Seismicity and Composite Fault Plane Solutions
During the summer of 1969, six portable seismographs were operated at 82 sites along the Intermountain Seismic Belt from southwestern Utah to northwestern Montana. This survey followed a well-known seismic belt along the eastern physiographic boundary of the Basin and Range province, and within the middle and northern Rocky Mountains. In general, the 120 microearthquakes located in this study f...
