Large Earthquakes and Crustal Deformation Near Taiwan
Source parameters of 15 large (mb -> 6) earthquakes which occurred near Taiwan during the last 25 years are determined by synthetic seismogram analysis of teleseismic P and S waveforms. Source depths range from 13 to 88 km. Three earthquakes of intermediate depth are located within the southernmost limit of the Ryukyu arc and show thrust-type mechanisms with T axes subparallel to a northward di...
متن کاملSTATISTICAL PREDICTION OF THE SEQUENCE OF LARGE EARTHQUAKES IN IRAN
The use of different probability distributions as described by the Exponential, Pareto, Lognormal, Rayleigh, and Gama probability functions applied to estimation the time of the next great earthquake (Ms≥6.0) in different seismotectonic provinces of Iran. This prediction is based on the information about past earthquake occurrences in the given region and the basic assumption that future seismi...
متن کاملEvidence for both crustal and mantle earthquakes in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate
[1] We investigate the relationship between high-precision hypocentres in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate beneath southwest British Columbia, and the velocity structure from receiver function analysis and reflection seismic data. 108 earthquakes at depths of 40 to 65 km were relocated using a double-difference algorithm to obtain precise earthquake locations. Correlation of the relocated seis...
متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
متن کاملFortuna Tessera, Venus Evidence of Horizontal Convergence and Crustal Thickening
Structural and tectonic patterns mapped in Fortuna Tessera are interpreted to reflect a change in the style and intensity of deformation from east to west, beginning with simple tessera terrain at relatively low topographic elevations in the east and progressing through increasingly complex deformation patterns and higher topography to Maxwell Montes in the west. These morphologic and topograph...
