  • Coordinates: 49.6503° S, 164.0868° E
  • Depth: 10 km Moment tensor diagram (focal mechanism)

The blue and white areas of the diagram show the directions of compression and extension during the rupture; the shape indicates the fault type (normal, reverse, or strike-slip). The solution yields two mathematically equivalent fault planes — which one is the actual rupture plane is usually unknown without additional geological context:

Plane Strike Dip Rake
1 46° 87° 171°
2 136° 81°

The data is preliminary (status: reviewed) and may be revised by USGS as additional information becomes available.
