FOCAL MECHANSIM OF SEPTEMBER 24th , 2013 AWARAN EARTHQUAKE

Abstract

Earthquake seismology is a study of generation propagation and recording of elastic waves in earth (and other celestial bodies) and of the sources that produce them. Our study aims at calculating the moment tensors of the AWARAN 24th slept 2013 Earthquake .we selected 6 stations (NIL KBL QAZ MSEY KMI DGAR) their wave forms were downloaded and processed by using the isolate GUI software initially the wave forms were displayed in units of counts then they were converted into units of displacements (m/s) green function were computed followed by inversion A plot of synthetic and observed waveforms was made and the correlation and 100 % dc was observed a magnitude was calculated to be 7.7 focal mechanism was found similar to USGS.
