摘要:A source-type diagram is a visualization tool used to display earthquake sources, including double-couples, compensated linear vector dipoles, and isotropic deformation.Together with recent observations of non-double-couple events in a variety of tectonic settings, it is important to be able to recognize the source type intuitively from a representative diagram.Since previous works have proposed diagrams created using a range of projections, we review these diagrams in the framework of the moment tensor eigenvalue space.For further applications, we also provide complete formulas for conversion between moment tensor representation and the coordinate system of each diagram style.Using both a global catalog and synthetic data, we discuss differences between types of diagrams and the relative effectiveness of each.
