FAULT PLANE SOLUTION: P-Waves NP1:Strike=340 Dip=76 Slip=90 NP2:Strike=160 Dip=14 Slip=90 Principal Axes: (T) Plg=59 Azm=250 (P) Plg=31 Azm=70 Comment: The focal mechanism is poorly controlled and corresponds to reverse faulting. The preferred fault plane is NP2. RADIATED ENERGY No. of sta: 7 Focal mech.
