Focal mechanism solutions and dynamic parameters of earthquakes in the eastern Himalayas and northern Burma

Tectonophysics, 1983
Abstract Focal-mechanism solutions of four earthquakes in the eastern Himalayas and northern Burma are determined using the first motion of compressional waves. Two possible solutions thus obtained for each event reveal steeply dipping fault with predominantly strike-slip motion.

Focal mechanism solution of the Himalayan earthquake of February 14, 1977

Tectonophysics, 1982
Abstract Through a closely spaced local network of seismic stations in Himachal Pradesh, India, supplemented by worldwide P-wave first-motion data, the source mechanism of the February 14, 1977 earthquake which occurred very close to the Rawalpindi area in Pakistan has been determined.

Focal mechanism solutions for Albanian earthquakes for the years 1964–1988

Tectonophysics, 1994
Abstract Focal mechanism solutions for 175 Albanian earthquakes of Albania for the years 1964–1988 were obtained by using an interactive computer technique. The results obtained are elaborated upon by applying Fisherian statistical analysis to obtain parameters for the mean stress direction in five zones.

Modern tectonic stress field in the Chinese mainland inverted from focal mechanism solutions

Acta Seismologica Sinica, 1999
The inversion of modern tectonic stress field in China is made by regions on the basis of focal mechanism data in the period of 1920–1996. Results of the inversion show that the maximum principal compressive stress σ1 axis strikes nearly north-south direction in the Tibet Plateau and western China, east-west direction in North China.

Focal mechanism solutions and its tectonic significance in the trench of the eastern South China Sea

Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2005
According to the activity of earthquakes and volcanoes along the Manila trench and its adjacent region, combined with analysis of focal mechanism solutions and geophysics data, the Manila trench is still being downward subduction in the depth of 200 km.

Spatial Distribution of Intermediate Earthquakes and Focal Mechanism Solutions in the Pamir‐Hindu Kush Region

Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2007
AbstractIn this paper, high quality seismic data in 1964~2003 from the ISC (International Seismological Centre) catalog are used to present a relatively more complete and definite geometric structure of the intermediate seismic zone in the Pamir‐Hindu Kush region. Dip directions and the largest depth of the Hindu Kush intermediate seismic zone (H zone)
