The 11 May 2011 earthquake at Lorca (SE Spain) viewed in a structural-tectonic context [PDF]
The Lorca earthquake of 11 May 2011 in the Betic Cordillera of SE Spain occurred almost exactly on the Alhama de Murcia fault, a marked fault that forms part of a NE-SW trending belt of faults and thrusts.

Study on the Focal Mechanism of the M5.1 Badong Earthquake in Hubei
The focal mechanism solutions of the M5. 1 Badong earthquake and subsequent 34 aftershocks at ML 2. 0 or more were calculated using the P-wave first motion method; the main earthquake was normal fault dip slip type, and the slip types of the seismogenic ...
