RECONSTRUCTION OF THE TECTONIC STRESS FIELD IN THE DEEP PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN KURIL-KAMCHATKA AND NORTHERN JAPAN SUBDUCTION ZONES

Earthquake focal mechanisms in the Southern Kuril-Kamchatka and Northern Japan subduction zones were analysed to investigate the features of the tectonic stress field inside the Pacific lithospheric plate subducting into the upper mantle. Earthquake focal mechanism (hypocenter depths of more than 20...
