The 1999 M w 7 . 1 Hector Mine , California , Earthquake Sequence : Complex Conjugate Strike - Slip Faulting
The 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine mainshock showed right-lateral strikeslip faulting, with an initial strike of N6 W and vertical dip. The mainshock was preceded within 20 hours by 18 recorded foreshocks of 1.5 M 3.8 within a few kilometers distance of the mainshock hypocenter. The aftershocks delineate how the Hector Mine earthquake ruptured with strike N6 W to the south for a distance of 15 km, and...
متن کاملIntraplate and interplate faulting interactions during the August 31, 2012, Philippine Trench earthquake (Mw 7.6) sequence
[1] On August 31, 2012, a large (Mw 7.6) thrust earthquake occurred within the subducting Philippine Sea plate seaward of a low seismicity region of the plate boundary (9.5 N– 11.5 N), possibly as a result of horizontal compressional stress accumulation offshore of a locked megathrust. The mainshock ruptured from 30–50 km depth, with high radiated-energy/seismic-moment ratio and enriched shortp...
متن کاملFaulting parameters of the 1999 Mula earthquake, southeastern Spain
The seismicity of southern Spain is characterized by low-to-moderate earthquake activity (magnitudes <5.5) related to the convergence of the African and Eurasian plates. The detailed structure of this complex plate boundary is not well understood and the study of faulting parameters and depths of the small-to-moderate-size events can contribute much to our understanding of the regional stresses...
متن کاملRupture Processes of the 1987-1988 Gulf of Alaska Earthquake Sequence
Three large earthquakes occurred in the Gulf of Alask• during 1987-1988: one on November 17, 1987 (Mw = 7.2), the second one on November 30, 1987 (Mw = 7.8), and the third one on March 6, 1988 (Mw = 7.7). These major intraplate, strike-slip oceanic events occurred along conjugate trends in a region of no previous seismicity. Body wave modeling places their centroid depths in the upper mantle. T...
متن کاملInSAR analysis of the 2008 Reno-Mogul earthquake swarm: Evidence for westward migration of Walker Lane style dextral faulting
[1] Analysis and modeling of InSAR data covering the 2008 Reno-Mogul M 4.7 earthquake swarm indicate that the main event was produced by slip on a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault in the Reno basin. Deformation of 0.5– 2.5 cm in radar line-of-sight was produced by the main event and post-seismic slip over an area of more than 150 km. This earthquake is one of the smallest magnitude eve...
