Week  7:    Seismology  

Earthquake  distribu8ons  •  Discussion  of  depth,  magnitude,  geographical  distribu6ons  

of  one-­‐year  NEIC  earthquake  data  sets  from  2016,  2015,  2014  etc  

 

Focal  Mechanisms  •  Basic  “beach  ball”  paHerns  for  strike-­‐slip,  normal,  thrust,  

oblique  earthquakes  •  Inferring  strike,  dip  of  fault  plane  and  the  strike  of  the  

horizontal  component  of  a  slip  vector
