Variability of repeating earthquake behavior along the Longitudinal Valley fault zone of eastern Taiwan
[1] Two major clusters of repeating earthquake sequences (RES) are found on two fault patches near the Longitudinal Valley fault (LVF) in eastern Taiwan, the Chihshang segment to the south and the Hualien segment to the north. The 25 M 2.3–4.6 RES on the Hualien segment are widely distributed in a NNE direction over a distance of 45 km, whereas on the Chihshang segment, the 30 M 2.2–3.4 RES hav...

متن کاملRepeating earthquakes and seismic potential along the northern Longitudinal Valley fault of eastern Taiwan
[1] The northern Longitudinal Valley fault in eastern Taiwan creeps at the surface with a small rate of 1 cm/yr but slips in large earthquakes. To improve seismic hazard assessment, it is important to comprehend the slip deficit rate distribution at depth. We discovered 25 ML 2.1– 4.6 repeating earthquakes in this area and inverted GPS measurements for producing an image of the along-strike spa...
متن کاملThe Nature of the Banda Arc–Continent Collision in the Timor Region
Arc continent collision is one of the most fundamental tectonic processes for the formation of new land, and the preservation on land of fragments of oceanic lithosphere (ophiolites). However, the tectonic evolution of arc continent collision is commonly over-simplified in everything from introductory textbooks to complex tectonic models. Major unresolved issues include the response of the fore...
متن کاملTowards a universal rule on the recurrence interval scaling of repeating earthquakes?
[1] A recent analysis of recurrence properties of small repeating earthquakes on a creeping oblique thrust fault in eastern Taiwan reveals a weak variation in recurrence interval (Tr) with seismic moment (Mo). Compared to the scaling of Tr with Mo from repeating earthquake data near Parkfield in California, the repeating data from eastern Taiwan has recurrence intervals that are 2 times shorter...
