This paper classifies dipping tones in the framework of the Multi-Register and Four-Level tonal model. There are six types of dipping tones, four in Register M and two in Register L. The former includes (1) low dipping {323}, (2) back dipping /523/, (3) front dipping /324/, and (4) double circumflex /3232/, and the latter includes (5) creaky dipping {202} and (6) slack dipping /213/. After the ...

The great Assam earthquake of 12 June 1897 reduced to rubble all masonry buildings within a region of NE India roughly the size of England, and its felt area exceeded that of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. Hitherto it was believed that rupture occurred on a north-dipping Himalayan thrust propagating south of Bhutan . We show here that this view is incorrect. The northern edge of the Shillong Plate...

Abstract. We reconstruct the 3D fault model of structures causative 2010–2014 Pollino seismic activity by integrating structural–geological and high-resolution seismological data. constrained at surface with fault-slip data, depth, using distributions selected high-quality relocated hypocenters. Relocations were performed through non-linear Bayloc algorithm, followed double-difference relative ...

Abstract Following observations made in a survey campaign along the Lost River Fault (Idaho, USA) 2019, we integrate both original and previously published data to obtain detailed segmentation of fault sections that failed 1983 Borah Peak earthquake (Mw 6.9). The ruptured topographic surface with an oblique-normal faulting mechanism, activating two SW-dipping segments (Thousand Springs Warm Spr...

On 3 April 2017, a Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred in Botswana, representing the secondstrongest earthquake registered since 1949. Such an intraplate event occurred in a low seismic hazard area and was suspected to be an artificial earthquake induced by nearby anthropogenic activities (gas extraction). The possible relation between anthropogenic activities and the earthquake occurrence has been qual...

Magnetic anomalies associatedwith new ocean crust formation in the Adare Basin off north-western Ross Sea (43–26Ma) can be traced directly into the Northern Basin that underlies the adjacent morphological continental shelf, implying a continuity in the emplacement of oceanic crust. Steep gravity gradients along the margins of the Northern Basin, particularly in the east, suggest that little ext...

A strong, shallow earthquake occurred near Heraklion (Crete, Greece) on 27 September 2021. The produced significant ground deformation in the vicinity of Arkalochori village but without any evidence for surface ruptures primary origin. We used geodetic (InSAR and GNSS) data to map motions Earth’s that during shortly after earthquake. 14 cm subsidence GNSS station ARKL a maximum 19 distance from...

Tectonic implications of subcrustal, normal faulting earthquakes in the western Shikoku region have been investigated in sorme detail, mainly based on the faulting mechanism of the Bungo channel earthquake of August 6, 1968 (M=6.6, h=45km) and its aftershocks. A synthetic study of the focal mechanism solution, spatial distribution of aftershocks, seismic waves observed in the near and far field...

Slip-induced fall accidents have been recognized as a serious threat to the health of the elderly.The objective of the current study was to investigate the aging effect on the biomechanical reactions of both perturbed foot and unperturbed foot to the unexpected slips. Nineteen younger (mean age: 25.0 years old) and twenty-one older (mean age: 71.2 years old) adults were involved in a laboratory...

The most costly American earthquake since 1906 struck Los Angeles on 17 January 1994. The magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake resulted from more than 3 meters of reverse slip on a 15-kilometer-long south-dipping thrust fault that raised the Santa Susana mountains by as much as 70 centimeters. The fault appears to be truncated by the fault that broke in the 1971 San Fernando earthquake at a dept...
