Description:
Seismic tomography revealed a low seismic velocity (-5%) and high Poisson's ratio (+6%) anomaly covering about 300 square kilometers at the hypocenter of the 17 January 1995, magnitude 7.2, Kobe earthquake in Japan. This anomaly may be due to an overpressurized, fluid-filled, fractured rock matrix that contributed to the initiation of the Kobe earthquake.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhao -- Kanamori -- Negishi -- Wiens -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Dec 13;274(5294):1891-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉D.
