1. Basic Information

    Origin-time   Epicenter  Depth  Magnitude

2. Data processing

3. Result
  Results are shown in Figure 1 Main source parameters:

   (strike, dip, slip) = (286, 60, 4)
  Seismic moment  Mo = 2.9 e20 Nm  (Mw = 7.6)
  Source duration (rupture propagation + rise time) T = 10 s
  Depth of the initial break  H = 15 km
  Fault area   S = ? x ? km^2
  Dislocation  D = Mo /mu S = ? m (mu = ? GPa)
  Stress drop  DELTA sigma = 2.5 Mo/ S^1.5 = ? MPa
