FOCAL PARAMETERS OF ISMAYILLI EARTHQUAKE OF OCTOBER 7, 2012

Abstract

The features of the seismic distribution of the south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus are
considered. The connection of seismic events and their mechanisms with fault tectonics of the region
is analyzed. The interpretation of the source mechanism of the Ismayilli earthquake is given. The
mechanism of a general Caucasian fault with a left-sided shift component was established. Were
constructed distribution schemes of accelerations (PGA) and velocities (PGV) of the soil. The PGA
value was 0.25 g, and the PGV value was 10 cm/sec.
