Complex microseismic activity and depth-dependent stress field changes in Wakayama, southwestern Japan

Abstract We examined the spatial relationship between seismicity and upper crustal structure in the Wakayama region, northwestern Kii Peninsula, Japan, by investigating microearthquake focal mechanisms and the local stress field. The focal mechanisms of most events studied fall into three categories...
