The seismic history of this region is marked by two moderate magnitude earthquakes, the 12 November 1955 Mb 6.1 and the 2 June 1984 Mb 5.1. The 1955 Mb 6.1 earthquake was the largest recorded event to occur within Abou Dabbab. Woodward Clyde Consultants (1982) computed the first-motion focal mechanism for the 1955 event. The mechanism has a strike-slip faulting solution with a normal dip-slip component. The T-axis has a NNW trend. The two nodal planes that were determined...
