Characteristics of focal mechanisms in Chile subduction

We use the Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) solution of the earthquakes occurred in Chile subduction to analyze the characteristics of focal mechanisms. We define the angle between P, B, and T axes of focal mechanisms and three stress axes of tectonic stress field as the consistency parameter, to resear...
