This volume is the outcome of about 30 years of research in the field of earthquake seismology in various parts of South Asia. It comprehensively deals with topics raning from plate tectonics to seismic waves in general. State-of-the-art techniques in earthquake location/relocation, fault plane solution, waveform inversion, seismic tomography, fractals etc. are discussed, and the results are interpreted in terms of seismic source processes in the region.

"This volume brings together a sampling of research addressing issues of continental intraplate earthquakes, including a core of papers from special sessions held at the spring 2004 Joint Assembly of the American and Canadian Geophysical Unions in Montreal. Papers address the broad related topics of the science, hazard, and policy issues of large continental intraplate earthquakes in a worldwide context. One group of papers addresses aspects of the primary scientific issue--where are these earthquakes and what causes them? Answering this question is crucial to determining whether they will continue there or migrate elsewhere. A second group of papers addresses the challenge of assessing the hazard posed by intraplate earthquakes. Although it may be a very long time before the scientific issues are resolved, the progress being made is helping attempts to estimate the probability, size, and shaking of future earthquakes, and the uncertainty of the results. A third group of papers explores the question of how society should mitigate the possible effects of future large continental intraplate earthquakes. Communities around the world face the challenge of deciding how to address this rare, but real, hazard, given the wide range of other societal needs. Continental intraplate earthquakes will remain a challenge to seismologists, earthquake engineers, policy makers, and the public for years to come, but significant progress toward understanding and addressing this challenge is now being made."--Publisher's website.

The earth was shown in the last century to have a surface layer composed of large plates. Plate tectonics is the study of the movement and stresses in the individual plates that make up the complete surface of the world's sphere. Two types of earthquakes are observed in the surface plates, interplate and intraplate earthquakes, which are classified, based on the location of the origin of an earthquake either between two plates or within the plate respectively. Limited work has been completed on the definition of the boundary region between the plates from which interplate earthquakes originate, other than the recent work on the Mid Atlantic Ridge, defined at two degrees and the subsequent work to look at the applicability of this degree based definition. Others suggested an alternative view of a constant width for the interplate region in recent work at Texas A & M University. The objective of the paper is to determine whether the assumption of a linear width of the region along the tectonic plate boundaries to classify earthquakes as interplate and intraplate earthquakes using accepted statistical criteria provides a better fit to the data than the constant degree definition. There are three types of interplate boundaries defined by the relative movement of the two plates to each other, which further complicates this study. The study used a nonrandom analysis of regions of the different types of boundary to compare the rate and decay of the intraplate earthquakes from a notional centerline for the known boundaries. The study used GIS software and EXCEL for the statistical analysis component of the research work. The results show that a constant width definition provides a number of advantages in determining the relative definition of interplate and intraplate earthquakes when compared to the constant degree definition developed for work on the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Further research is suggested on a randomly selected set of study sites to improve the reliability and quality of the statistical work for each type of the boundary of the tectonic plates.

nesus, Armenia, and Georgia have largely profited from the experience acquired in the study of the large events of the early 1980s. The Mediterranean region is not only the site of shallow dispersed seismic activity, it is also the site of localized intermediate depth seismic activity, and of some rare deeper events. Active subduc tion is clearly at the origin of Greek intermediate depth seismicity, while the deep activity under Calabria and the Vrancea region in Romania is clearly related to downgoing slabs that have long remained active after the arrest of subduction. The origin of the intermediate and very deep seismicity below Spain is a considerably more complex problem. Several possible explanations of the intermediate depth activity to about 110 km have been proposed, but the origin of the deep (650 km) events studied by BURFORN et a1. remains a mystery since this is the only source of deep activity that is not related in an obvious way to a subduction zone. The problem of seismic source mechanism and seismotectonics cannot be completely separated from that of the mechanical origin of earthquakes. Recent work on this subject has revealed the intimate relation between fault geometry, as observed by field geologists, and the results of inversion of source process from seismic data in the far-field or in the near-field.
