the instability criterion is used when selecting the fault plane from two alternatives
• the majority of solutions concentrate in a region of validity of the Mohr’s- Coulomb criterion!
• the minimum scatter display the AMT focal mechanisms

Active fault planes • focal mechanisms using P-wave amplitudes (program AMT)• calculation of the instability of the nodal planes• fault plane – the nodal plane with a higher instability
Generic fault planes • theoretical planes• the most unstable fault planes under tectonic stress• fault planes with the highest probability to be active
