Tectonic stress field analysis of the northern part of the Kuril-Okhotsk region before the 24 May, 2013, deepest earthquake
Tectonic stress field analysis of the northern part of the Kuril-Okhotsk region before the 24 May, 2013, deepest earthquake. This paper presents the reconstruction results of the modern tectonic stress field of the northern part of the Кuril-Okhotsk region before the 24 May, 2013, deepest earthquake. It was the strongest earthquake ever recorded not only in the Okhotsk Region but also in the world. Reconstruction of the tectonic stress field has been carried out on the basis of the method of cataclastic analysis of earthquake focal mechanism data (MCA). New depth variations of the tectonic stress field have been obtained.
