Earthquake Probabilities and Energy Characteristics of Seismicity Offshore Southwest Taiwan

We characterize fault geometries for moderate and large earthquakes in and offshore southwest (SW) Taiwan. Stress orientation estimates suggest that the first shock of the Pingtung earthquake may be characterized by slab flexure. Aregion of predominately normal-faulting earthquakes is also defined....
