Description:
The intensity and focal mechanism of the Bullas earthquake of 29 January 2005 have been determined. The intensity assessment has been carried out using the EMS-98 scale and plotted on an intensity map. The focal mechanisms for the main shock and largest aftershock have been estimated from moment tensor inversion of body waves. The mechanisms obtained show left-lateral strike-slip faulting and foci at shallow depths, 3-4 km. These results are compared with those of the Bullas 2002 and Mula 1999 earthquakes in the same region. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006.
