Data shown in the tables below and to the right are the preferred earthquake source parameters from the seismic network highlighted above. The authoritative earthquake location & magnitude is always 1st in the list of contributing networks. Clicking on a different earthquake solution will result in a change in the listed source parameters. Each contribution may include multiple estimates of magnitude and/or other source parameters. The preferred magnitude and magnitude type for the currently selected solution will be displayed in the “Selected Network Solution” table to the right.
Each contribution may also include corresponding station arrival time and magnitude observations, which were used to compute the earthquake source parameters. Not all seismic networks provide a full suite of observations or earthquake source parameters.

Body-wave Moment Tensor (Mwb)
Moment magnitude derived from a moment tensor inversion of long-period (~10 - 100 s) body-waves (P-, SH- ) at teleseismic distances (~30 to ~90 degrees).

The figure above shows a visual representation of the style of faulting (focal mechanism) derived from the estimated moment tensor. Shaded areas show quadrants of the focal sphere in which the P-wave first-motions are away from the source, and unshaded areas show quadrants in which the P-wave first-motions are toward the source. The dots represent the axis of maximum compressional strain (in black, called the "P-axis") and the axis of maximum extensional strain (in white, called the "T-axis") resulting from the earthquake.
