The Radiated Seismic Energy and Apparent Stress of Interplate and Intraslab Earthquakes at Subduction Zone Environments: Implications for Seismic Hazard Estimation

Open-File Report 01-0005

 

Figure 1d. ES-M0 for the subset of 27 shallow-focus earthquakes located near subduction zones with predominantly strike-slip focal mechanisms. The average apparent stress of strike-slip earthquakes is a magnitude larger than that for the earthquakes with dip-slip mechanisms.
