    Notes: Abstract The occurrence of cyclical instabilities along plate boundaries at regular intervals suggests that the process of earthquake causation differs in some respects from the model of elastic rebound in its simplest forms. The model of tectonic feedback modifies the concept of this original model in that it provides a physical interaction between the loading rate and the state of strain on the fault. Two examples are developed: (a) Central Chile, and (b) Mexico. The predictions of earthquake hazards for both types of models are compared.

    Keywords: Earthquake prediction ; Seismicity gap ; Tectonics of Mexico

    Topics: Geosciences , Physics
    Notes: Abstract An attempted use of seismic gap observations to predict a large earthquake in Oaxaca, Mexico is discussed. The observations were initially published in a scientific journal and were subsequently distorted by noncientists, who predicted a major earthquake and tsunami to take place at Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca on 23 April 1978. Public reactions and property losess sustained by individuals and communities were comparable to those expected from an actual earthquake. A revision of epicenter locations from the NOAA data file revealed that a number of earthquakes did occur in the alleged gap but had been excluded because their reported focal depth was in excess of 60 km. It is shown that the probability that the number of earthquakes in two consecutive time intervals of a stationary Poisson process differs by an amount which would be reported as a ‘seismic gap’ is of the order of 5% or more for Oaxaca. This means that spurious ‘seismic gaps’ would be observed in one out of 20 data runs. The possibility of detecting a true interval of abnormal quiescence in a random earthquake sequence appears to be fairly remote in this case.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A catalog of major Chilean earthquakes (magnitude presumed greater than 7.5) is presented. This catalog is abstracted from a punched-card list of Chilean earthquakes with over 15,000 entries. Each event is accompanied by a description of effects, including tsunami observations, and estimates of epicentral location and magnitude. Major earthquakes in Chile occur in a small number of source areas. These are aligned offshore and along the range faults between the Coast Range and the Central Valley. In the Central Chile region, between Valparaíso and Concepción, major earthquakes occur chiefly inland. From Concepción to the south the major epicenters occur offshore. Each focal area produces a predictable pattern of seismic and tsunami effects.
    Abstract: Resumen Se presenta un catálogo de grandes sismos chilenos (con magnitud presunta mayor de 7.5). Este catálogo representa una selección preparada a base de una lista de más de 15,000 temblores chilenos en tarjetas perforadas. Cada sismo va acompañado de una descripción razonada de sus efectos, incluyendo observaciones de maremotos, además de una estimación de sus coordenadas epicentrales y su magnitud. Los grandes terremotos chilenos se originan en un número limitado de zonas epicentrales, orientadas en una línea frente a la costa por una parte, como también sobre las fallas longitudinales entre la Cordillera de la Costa y el Valle Central. En la región de Chile Central de Valparaíso a Concepción los grandes terremotos tienden a originarse bajo el continente. En cambio, de Concepción al sur los principales epicentres se sitúan frente a la costa. Cada zona epicentral produce un cuadro característico de efectos sísmicos y de maremotos.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eine Aufstellung der größeren Erdbeben Chiles (angenommene Stärke größer als 7,5) wird vorgelegt. Dieser Aufstellung liegt eine Lochkartenkartei chilenischer Erdbeben mit mehr als 15 000 Eintragungen zugrunde. Für jedes Beben werden die Auswirkungen einschließlich der Tsunami-Beobachtungen beschrieben und Schätzungen der Lage der Epizentren und der Stärke angegeben. Größere Erdbeben treten in Chile in nur wenigen Bebengebieten auf. Diese sind linear im Meer und entlang der Verwerfungen zwischen der Küstenkette und dem Zentraltal angeordnet. In Mittelchile zwischen Valparaiso und Concepción treten größere Erdbeben hauptsächlich im Innern des Landes auf. Südlich von Concepción liegen die größeren Epizentren im Meer. Jedes Herdgebiet liefert voraussagbare seismische und Tsunami-Effekte.

    Notes: [Auszug] WAS the Tangshan earthquake of 1976, an event of Riohter magnitude 7.8, predictable in the present state of earthquake forecasting in China? We shall attempt to show that it was not; in the absence of well-defined procedures of earthquake forecasting outside China our case rests on the detailed ...

    Notes: Abstract Numerical experiments on simulating ruptures of a one-dimensional plate boundary suggest that certain basic features of seismicity (including multiple ruptures and aftershock sequences) can be adequately reproduced if one assumes the existence of an elementary particle (or ‘geon’) of fault dynamics. Some general consequences of corpuscular assumptions in the earth sciences are discussed, with particular reference to the estimation of hazard.

    Notes: Abstract The nature-society system is proposed as the relevant analytical unit for the sociological study of disasters. Like other complex systems, this system has emergent properties: its instabilities are the disasters. They often arise as a result of adoption by a community of specific technologies, e.g., housing technologies, that turn out to be unstable in the presence of critical natural or social changes. The following earthquake disasters were caused by unplanned and unforeseen features of housing or siting technologies: Huaxian 1556 (caves in loess), Yungay 1970 (siting in the path of an avalanche), and Mexico 1985 (high-rise buildings on soft ground). Disasters have anarchaeology, in the sense that the instabilities in the nature-society system are not static. This is demonstrated by tracing the 1985 Mexico earthquake disaster back to decisions on urban planning taken after 1521. It is not enough to know the hazard and the vulnerability in order to understand disasters. Technological solutions also have a local history.
