| contents | Faulting process and coseismic stress change during the 30 January, 1973, Colima, Mexico interplate earthquake (Mw=7.6) Luis Quintanar Miguel A. Santoyo Takeshi Mikumo Ciencias de la Tierra Coseismic stress change A large thrust earthquake (Mw=7.6) occurred on January 30, 1973, on the plate interface between the subducting Cocosplate and the continental North America plate, near the triple junction between the North America, Cocos and Rivera Plates.This event might be related to two sequences of subsequent large earthquakes that occurred around this region. Althoughseveral authors have analyzed the focal mechanism and depth of this earthquake, we analyzed its source characteristics andperformed a linear kinematic waveform inversion for the slip distribution over the fault plane. We find a shallow thrust mechanism(St=285°, Dip=16°, Ra=85°) consistent with the tectonic environment, with a depth of 16 km and a total moment release of2.98x1027 dyn-cm. The results show a slip distribution with two main patches, with a maximum dislocation of 199 cm and 173cm respectively. We calculated the coseismic stress change on and around the fault plane. This earthquake ruptured two mainasperities, one downdip and southwest and the other updip and northwest of the hypocenter, with stress change of 31 and -40bars respectively The surrounding zone of stress increase could have influenced the subsequent seismicity to a distance of up to120 km from the hypocenter. 2006 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56845302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.45 |
