M 6.2 - 297 km ENE of Kuril’sk, Russia

Felt (III) at Kurilsk. Two events about 2.9 seconds apart. Depth from broadband displacement seismograms, based on first event. FAULT PLANE SOLUTION: P-Waves NP1:Strike=20 Dip=70 Slip=90 NP2:Strike=200 Dip=20 Slip=90 Principal Axes: (T) Plg=65 Azm=290 (P) Plg=25 Azm=110 Comment: The focal mechanism is poorly controlled and corresponds to reverse faulting. The preferred fault plane is NP2. RADIATED ENERGY No. of sta: 11 Focal mech.
