In two earlier papers (Wallace et al., 1983, 1985), we discussed the evidence for tectonic release from underground nuclear explosions on Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) as observed in long-period body waves. It has been shown for some time that the nonisotropic component of the surface waves from most of these events could be explained by an equivalent double-couple source; namely st...

VIBR~,TION~.L directions of direct shear waves from a number of small local earthquakes in southern California, recorded at Pasadena and Riverside, are determined and related to corresponding faulting at the source. A theoretical relationship between wave vibrational directions and fault displacements is proposed. Directions of SV and SIt motions from various fault types are adduced from this r...
