A High-Resolution Study of Seismogenic Structures: The Making of a Double Seismic Zone
Abstract
dc:descriptionPrecise source parameters, including focal depths and mechanisms, of 74 large to moderate-sized $(m\sb{b} \ge 5.5)$ earthquakes that occurred along the Kuril-Kamchatka arc between 1963 and 1991 were determined by inverting teleseismic P and SH waveforms. Based on these results, I delineated seismogenic structures at depths shallower than 200 km and proposed interpretations for systematic variation of such structures with depth and along the strike of the arc.
