the instability criterion is used when selecting the fault plane from two alternatives

• the majority of solutions concentrate in a region of validity of the Mohr’s- Coulomb criterion!

• the minimum scatter display the AMT focal mechanisms

Active versus generic Active versus generic faultsfaults

Active fault planes • focal mechanisms using P-wave amplitudes (program AMT)• calculation of the instability of the nodal planes• fault plane – the nodal plane with a higher instability

Generic fault planes • theoretical planes• the most unstable fault planes under tectonic stress• fault planes with the highest probability to be active
