Moment tensor and stress inversion for an active fault system in west part of Lut-Block, Iran
Iran is one of the most tectonically active regions on the Alpine-Himalayan earthquake belt. Eastern Iran, nowadays, is one of the most active regions of the country. The occurrence of several destructive earthquakes during the past 50 years provides the evidence for the seismic activity in this region. The earthquakes are mostly concentrated around the Lut-block. There are strike-slip fault sy...
متن کاملA Technique for the Recovery of the Seismic Moment Tensor Applied to the Oaxaca, Mexico Earthquake of November 1978 By
The potential for using seismograms in a linear inversion process to recover the seismic moment tensor has been theorized for sometime. Unfortunately, practical application of the theory is difficult. Lateral variations of the Earth and imprecise knowledge of the source often severely contaminate real seismic data relative to synthetic models which must be supplied. This paper outlines an exper...
متن کاملIdaho, Earthquake from Body Wave Analysis by Diane I. Doser and Robert B. Smith
Modeling of long-period body waves of the Ms = 7.3 Borah Peak, Idaho, earthquake suggests that the earthquake was a simple rupture that nucleated at a depth of about 16 km and propagated unilaterally northwestward toward the surface. The seismic moment tensor obtained from the inversion of teleseismic body wave amplitude data agrees well with the fault plane solution obtained from short-period ...
متن کاملRapidly Estimated Seismic Source Parameters for the 16 September 2015
On 16 September 2015, a great (Mw 8.3) interplate thrust earthquake ruptured offshore Illapel, Chile, producing a 4.7-m local tsunami. The last major rupture in the region was a 1943 MS 7.9 event. Seismic methods for rapidly characterizing the source process, of value for tsunami warning, were applied. The source moment tensor could be obtained robustly by W-phase inversion both within minutes ...
متن کاملMoment tensor inversion of the 2016 southeast offshore Mie earthquake in the Tonankai region using a three-dimensional velocity structure model: effects of the accretionary prism and subducting oceanic plate
The southeast offshore Mie earthquake occurred on April 1, 2016 near the rupture area of the 1944 Tonankai earthquake, where seismicity around the interface of the Philippine Sea plate had been very low until this earthquake. Since this earthquake occurred outside of seismic arrays, the focal mechanism and depth were not precisely constrained using a one-dimensional velocity model, as in a conv...
