Relocation of Eastern Taiwan Earthquakes and Tectonic Implications

Relocation of Eastern Taiwan Earthquakes and Tectonic Implications

  1. In this study, the geometric distribution of the relocated events is in general agreement with the focal mechanism solutions.

  2. According to the results from seismicity distribution and focal mechanism solutions, the seismic pattern changes greatly from the northern portion to the southern portion in eastern Taiwan.
