  • Coordinates: 36.4731° N, 70.7644° E
  • Depth: 199 km
  • Number of “did you feel it” reports (USGS DYFI): 30 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
1 272° 19° 70°
2 113° 72° 97°

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