Seismicity of the Erguna Region (Northeastern China): Evidence for Local Stress Redistribution

We consider the seismicity of the Erguna region in northeast China (48°–51° N, 117°–123° E) which is poorly studied from seismological point of view as it is characterized by a low level of seismic activity. We calculate focal parameters (focal mechanisms, scalar seismic moments, moment magnitudes, and hypocentral depths) for seven regional earthquakes with Mw 4.2–4.6 that occurred in 2000–2017 using global seismic data of Rayleigh- and...
