Northeast India and its adjoining region constitutes an important geotectonic element of Southeast Asia and is connected to India via a narrow corridor squeezed between Nepal and Bangladesh. Geomorphologically, the entire NE India is located in an earthquake prone zone ( Zone – V ) of the Indian subcontinent. The strain energy release has been studied by dividing the region into in the six geo ...
Geophysical imaging by using attenuation property of multichannel seismic reflection data was tested to map spatial variation of physical properties of rocks in a volcanic area. The study area is located around Miyakejima volcanic island, where an intensive earthquake swarm was observed associated with 2000 Miyakejima eruption. Seismic reflection survey was conducted five months after the swarm...
[1] We expand the theory of critically tapered Coulomb wedge for accretionary prisms by considering stress changes in subduction earthquake cycles. Building on the Coulomb plasticity of the classical theory, we assume an elastic–perfectly Coulomb plastic rheology and derive exact stress solutions for stable and critical wedges. The new theory postulates that the actively deforming, most seaward...
On 30 May 2015 an isolated deep earthquake (~670 km, Mw 7.9) occurred to the west of the Bonin Islands. To clarify its causal mechanism and its relationship to the subducting Pacific slab, we determined a detailed P-wave tomography of the deep earthquake source zone using a large number of arrival-time data. Our results show that this large deep event occurred within the subducting Pacific slab...
This paper first introduces briefly the disasters resulting from major earthquakes and analyze the risk function by examining its variables. It shows that, for earthquake risk, the future is more hazardous than the present and the past The paper then offers a comprehensive list of counter-measures against earthquake risk, from the simple ones dealing with the variables to insurance, reinsurance...
Seismic hazard analysis is performed for a representative zone in Peru, including the city of Cusco, the citadel of Machupicchu and the archeological complex of Choquequirao, constituting the area with important Inca heritage. This is considered to be the first step towards developing a rational approach to seismic risk analysis of the Inca’s architectural heritage. An evaluation of the vulnera...
on 26 december 2003 at 05:26lt (01:26gmt), a catastrophic earthquake mw 6.6, seismic moment (6 – 9 ×10 nm) struck the city of bam in the kerman province of southeast iran. the intense shaking in the city caused the complete collapse of nearly every building in the central parts of the city including many of the newer buildings, killing about 40000 people officially. the city lies to the east of...
The macroscopic behaviour of a fault zone can be described by a classic Coulomb friction law and static^kinetic rheology. The critical failure stress leading to the activation of a single shear zone segment then depends on the normal stress acting on the future fault plane. It is known that the seismic cycle on a main fault patch can be modulated by surrounding fault activations, leading to int...
[1] By measuring relative earthquake arrival times using waveform cross correlation and locating earthquakes using the double difference technique, we are able to reduce hypocentral errors by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude over routine locations for nearly 8000 events along a 35-km section of the Calaveras Fault. This represents 92% of all seismicity since 1984 and includes the rupture zone of the ...
