Isallo stress analysis of the Rat Islands (Alaska) earthquake sequence

Tlie two fault planes furnished by the fault plane solutions<br />of earthquakes of the Rat Islands sequence were treated like the<br />conjugate fault planes of geological surface faults, and an isallo stress analysis<br />was made thereon. It is shown that...

Description
Summary:Tlie two fault planes furnished by the fault plane solutions<br />of earthquakes of the Rat Islands sequence were treated like the<br />conjugate fault planes of geological surface faults, and an isallo stress analysis<br />was made thereon. It is shown that the latter yields results which are<br />in conformity with data from other sources. A discussion of the tectonic<br />stress system in the Rat Islands region of Alaska is given.
