Study of Love and Rayleigh waves from earthquakes with fault plane solutions or with known faulting Part 2. Application of the phase difference method

Abstract

The method described in Part 1 of this paper was applied to about 30 earthquakes in various parts of the world. The modified single couple hypothesis proposed in Part 1 appears to explain the observations generally better than the double couple hypothesis. Surprisingly consistent pictures of tectonics were obtained in the Mediterranean region and in Japan on the basis of the modified single couple hypothesis.
