Notes on seismic hazard sensitivity studies for Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone 3 March 2008 -
Could you please make sure that these documents are part of the record for the industry proposal to resolve the ETSZ issue that was agreed upon by the NRC on our last telecon on March 4 th? If it would help, I can send these in a letter to you as well. Our understanding is that the NRC agrees the proposed scope is satisfactory. Also, the industry will provide the study to the NRC for review no ...
متن کاملIntraplate Triggered Earthquakes: Observations and Interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811–1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might have occ...
متن کاملFlexure of the Indian Plate and Intraplate Earthquakes
The flexural bulge in central India resulting from India's collision with Tibet has a wavelength of approximately 670 km. It is manifest topographically and in the freeair gravity anomaly and the geoid. Calculations of the stress distribution within a flexed Indian plate reveal spatial variations throughout the depth of the plate and also a function of distnace from the Himalaya. The wavelength...
متن کاملOn the duration of seismic motion incident onto the Valley of Mexico for subduction zone earthquakes
S U M M A R Y We have used finite difference simulations in 2-D models of the lithosphere to estimate the duration of long-period (>2 s) ground motion incident onto the Valley of Mexico for subduction zone earthquakes. Our simulations suggest that two heterogeneous structures extend the duration of the ground motion between the subduction zone and Mexico City by more than 1 min: (1) the Mexican...
متن کاملTemporal variation of large intraplate earthquakes in coupled subduction zones
The focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes within subducting lithosphere are frequently used to infer large-scale stress regimes induced by slab-pull, bending or unbending, and lateral segmentation and undulations of the slab . Numerous studies have further postulated that the intraplate activity is influenced by transitory regional stress regimes such as those associated with interplate th...
