Correlation k=0.7vp/vs= 1.46
Correlation k=0.3 vp/vs= 1.57
Conclusions
• Focal mechanism determined using three different
methods are statistically similar
• The majority of mechanisms have the P axes clustered
in the NE direction
• The positive correlation between ISO and CLVD can be
an indicator of tensile faulting
• The positive values of ISO and CLVD can be an indicator
of opening of faults
• The ISO/CLVD ratio yields the vp/vs ratio in the range
of 1.46 -1.57
