Mechanism Solution of Burma-India Border Earthquake of August 6, 1988
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper presents the focal mechanism solution for the Burma-India border earthquake of August 6, 1988. Use was made of the first motions of P waves and polarization (or first motions) of S waves. The mechanism solution is characterised by a predominant component of thrust faulting. The deduced orientation of the axis of compression is northeasterly. This orientation of the axis of compression is nearly parallel to the trend of tectonic features in the epicentral region of this event.
