Gempa Tsunami GMT SAC

Sugeng Pribadi ,  Nanang T. Puspito ,  Afnimar  and  Gunawan Ibrahim Abstract: The 25 October 2010 Mentawai earthquake has magnitude Mw 7.7 and shallow depth (12 km). Although the local people of Sikakap - the closed island near epicenter (78.33 km) only felt low shaking (II-III Mercally Intensity), it rised tsunami 7.4 m height causing casualties 447 people died. We suggested the phenomenon is the tsunami earthquake. Therefore we calculate the source mechanism by using W-phase method to determine its parameter. The result yield good value due to reference of GCMT solution with strike 340.3°, dip 8.3°, and slip 116.9°. The cross section diagram of hypocenter show the event located on the beginning of subduction. We obtain the values of seismic radiated energy  1.76×10 14  Nm, seismic moment 5.37×10 27  Nm, and its ratio is  Θ = −6.1  . It counted as the threshold of tsunami earthquake. The rupture process has long duration 82 s. The facts ...

It includes focal mechanism derived from W phase, the ratio ( Θ ) between seismic energy ( E ) and seismic moment ( M o ), moment magnitude ( M w ), rupture duration ( To ) and hypocenter distance to the trench. M ost of the earthquakes (24 events) are tsunamigenic earthquake with vari...
