The figure above shows a visual representation of the style of faulting (focal mechanism)
derived from the estimated moment tensor.
Shaded areas show quadrants of the focal sphere in which the P-wave first-motions
are away from the source, and unshaded areas show quadrants
in which the P-wave first-motions are toward the source.
The dots represent the axis of maximum compressional strain
(in black, called the "P-axis")
and the axis of maximum extensional strain (in white, called the "T-axis")
resulting from the earthquake.
