Abstract

Some parameters of focal mechanism of hundred more earthquakes are determined by computer according to the P waves recorded by stations. Part of them provides results which are in reasonable agreement with inferred directions of large faulting and major surface fractures occurred near by the epicenter. Analysis of focal mechanism of earthquakes from a series indicates the close relationship between the main shock and the major aftershocks.
