Astazi in istoria seismica globala

La 16 mai 1968 s-a produs un cutremur major in Japonia, zona Tokachi-Ochi, cu magnitudinea Mw 8,0-8,2.

The focal mechanism of the Tokachi-Oki earthquake of 1968 (Ms? 8.0) and its aftershocks is studied on the basis of P-wave first motion, S-wave polarization angle, and long-period surface-wave data. The major objective is to understand the nature of the deformation of the oceanic lithosphere at a junction of two trenches. The main shock is interpreted as a low-angle thrust fault with a considerable strike-slip component, the oceanic side underthrusting beneath the continent. This type of faulting is common with other great earthquakes of the northwestern Pacific belt, and is considered to represent a major tectonic movement in this region. The largest aftershock (Ms? 7.5), that occurred about 10 hours after the main shock, suggests a faulting in which the slip direction is almost opposite to that of the main shock. Other aftershocks are grouped into either the main shock type or the largest aftershock type.
