M 6.2 - 36 km SSE of Yuzhno-Kurilsk, Russia

Felt (V) at Yuzhno-Kurilsk. Felt (V JMA) at Kushiro and (IV JMA) at Nemuro, Hokkaido. Also felt (III JMA) at Hachinohe, Honshu. Felt (IV) at Misawa, Honshu. Depth from broadband displacement seismograms. FAULT PLANE SOLUTION: P-Waves NP1:Strike=53 Dip=57 Slip=-158 NP2:Strike=311 Dip=72 Slip=-35 Principal Axes: (T) Plg=9 Azm=5 (P) Plg=37 Azm=267 Comment: The focal mechanism is moderately well controlled and corresponds to strike-slip faulting with a large normal component. The preferred fault plane is not determined. RADIATED ENERGY No. of sta: 11 Focal mech.
