Driving Stress and Seismotectonic Implications of the 2013 Mw5.8 Awaji Island Earthquake, Southwestern Japan, Based on Earthquake Focal Mechanisms Before and After the Mainshock
Abstract:AbstractA driving stress of the M w 5.8 reverse-faulting Awaji Island earthquake (2013), southwest Japan, was investigated using focal mechanism solutions of earthquakes before and after the mainshock. The seismic records from regional high-sensitivity seismic stations were used. Further, the stress tensor inversion method was applied to infer the stress fields in the source region. The results of the stress tensor inversion and the slip tendency analysis revealed that… Show more
