FOCAL PARAMETERS OF ISMAYILLI EARTHQUAKE OF OCTOBER 7, 2012

Abstract

The features of the seismic distribution of the south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus are considered. The connection of seismic events and their mechanisms with fault tectonics of the region is analyzed. The interpretation of the source mechanism of the Ismayilli earthquake is given. The mechanism of a general Caucasian fault with a left-sided shift component was established. Were con structed distribution schemes of accelerations (PGA) and velocities (PGV) of the soil. The PGA value was 0.25 g, and the PGV value was 10 cm/sec.
