Sentences with word «hypocenter»

Her 50 simulations used variables spanning realistic values for the depth of the slip, and had randomly placed hypocenters and sticky points.

Yong Zhang from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and the China Earthquake Administration and colleagues begin this process by confirming a new hypocenter for Lushan.

Sato et al. (p. 1395, published online 19 May) describe the huge displacements from ocean bottom transponders — previously placed directly above the earthquake's hypocenter — communicating with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers aboard a ship.

An area with more than 20 meters of horizontal displacement, that is, four times larger than those detected on land, stretches several tens of kilometers long along the trench; the largest amount reaches about 24 meters toward east - southeast just above the hypocenter.

One, of course, is the epicenter, or more specifically the «hypocenter,» which locates the earthquake's starting point in three - dimensional space.

They also determined that its hypocenter — the point of origin of the earthquake where the fault begins to rupture — fell within a strip 240 kilometers long and 70 kilometers wide.

Yellow and blue stars indicate the hypocenters of the 2016 earthquake and 1944 Tonankai earthquake, respectively.

Using their newly calculated location for the hypocenter, Zhang and colleagues now agree with earlier studies that suggest the initial Lushan rupture was a circular rupture event with no predominant direction.

«A tectonic event might have a hypocenter 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 miles) deep, but at 25 to 40 kilometers, these were way too deep,» Lough says.

To probe farther, Lough used a global computer model of seismic velocities to «relocate» the hypocenters of the events to account for the known seismic velocities along different paths through the Earth.

Depth of the hypocenter location using an appropriate number of significant digits to convey the quality of the hypocenter.

This is the hypocenter — in other words, the «ground zero» of Snake's story.»
