Mary Lou Zoback,Mark D. Zoback,John H. Adams,Marcelo Assumpção,S. Bell,Eric A. Bergman,P. Blümling,N. R. Brereton,D. Denham,J. Ding,Karl Fuchs,Soren Gregersen,Harsh K. Gupta,Alexei Gvishiani,Klaus H. Jacob,R. Klein,P. Knoll,M. Magee,J. L. Mercier,B. C. Müller,C. Paquin,Kusala Rajendran,O. Stephansson,Gerardo Suárez,Max Suter,A. Udias,Z. H. Xu,Mikhail Zhizhin +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used regional patterns of present-day tectonic stress to evaluate the forces acting on the lithosphere and to investigate intraplate seismicity, and found that most intraplate regions are characterized by a compressional stress regime; extension is limited almost entirely to thermally uplifted regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape of the subducted Rivera and Cocos plates in southern Mexico: Seismic and tectonic implications
Mario Pardo,Gerardo Suárez +1 more
TL;DR: The geometry of the subducted Rivera and Cocos plates beneath the North American plate in southern Mexico was determined based on accurately located hypocenters of local and teleseismic earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size and morphology of the Chicxulub impact crater
Jo Morgan,Michael Warner,John Brittan,Richard T. Buffler,Antonio Camargo,Gail L. Christeson,Paul Denton,Alan R. Hildebrand,Richard Hobbs,Hamish Macintyre,Graeme Mackenzie,Peter Maguire,Luis E. Marín,Yosio Nakamura,Mark Pilkington,Virgil L. Sharpton,Dave Snyder,Gerardo Suárez,Alberto Trejo +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Chicxulub impact in Mexico has been linked to the mass extinction of species at the end of the Cretaceous period, and the diameter of the transient cavity is determined to be about 100 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismicity, fault plane solutions, depth of faulting, and active tectonics of the Andes of Peru, Ecuador, and southern Colombia
TL;DR: In this article, the long-period P waveforms observed for 17 earthquakes in the Peruvian Andes during 1963-1976 are compared with synthetic waveforms to obtain fault-plane solutions and focal depths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismicity and structure of the Kamchatka subduction zone
TL;DR: In this article, the configuration of the Pacific plate subducted beneath the Kamchatka peninsula and the stress distribution in the subduction zone (KSZ) were studied using the catalog of the KamCHATKA regional seismic network, focal mechanism solutions estimated from P wave first motions, the formal inversion of long-period waveforms, and centroid moment tensor solutions.
