The focal mechanism showed a reverse fault with a compression axis in a WNW-ESE direction. |
These dual setting will provide the desired protection on forward and reverse fault current directions. |
A normal rather than a reverse fault is the preferred interpretation because of evidence for local crustal extension. |
From the 31 stable solutions, 16 show reverse fault or oblique reverse fault characteristics, whereas 13 exhibit strike-slip mechanisms. |
Both steep and shallow-dipping reverse fault planes have been observed. |
The fault is interpreted as a north-directed reverse fault with a possible minor left-lateral strike-slip component. |
