...Hui-lan Zhou; Clarence R. Allen; Hiroo Kanamori Abstract The source processes of the 4 January 1970, Tonghai earthquake ( M s = 7.5) and the 6 February 1973, Luhuo earthquake ( M s = 7.5) in southwestern China were investigated using an inversion technique on the very complex body waves. The two...

... such events have occurred since 1725. In the more limited 150-km-long segment including Luhuo and Daofu, major earthquakes in 1904, 1923, 1973, and 1981 ( M = 7, 7½, 7.6, 6.9) were associated with overlapping surficial fault ruptures and with individual left-lateral displacements as large as 3.6 m. Field...

In addition, the seismicity of the region increased after the occurrence of the Luhuo earthquake. Seismicity data for two periods were...
