Geological and macroseismic manifestations of the earthquake on October 16, 2011 in the Skovorodino region, Amur oblast

Abstract

The epicentral zone and settlements that suffered from the M S = 6.1 earthquake in the northwest Amur oblast are examined. Only secondary seismic dislocations were revealed and mapped in detail. The inspection of settlements and inhabitansts inquiry allowed estimation of the intensity of the macroseismic effect based on the MSK 64 scale. These forthwith primary factual data give an idea on the shaking intensity at the distant and nearest zones and precise location of the earthquake focus. The map of isoseists of the high est (7-8) intensity is drawn.

Environmental effects of the 2011--2012 Tuva earthquakes (Russia): Application of ESI 2007 macroseismic scale in the Siberian mountains

“…The ESI 2007 scale was tested on many earthquakes including some events within Central Asia, Southern Siberia and Far East [Berzhinsky et al, 2010;Ovsyuchenko et al, 2013;Tatevossian, 2007;Tatevossian et al, 2009Tatevossian et al, , 2010 The scale testing was directed to the comparison of the estimates derived by traditional macroseismic scales (MSK, MM, EMS). As a whole ESI 2007 scale is satisfactorily correlated with traditional scales however it allows the restoring the more detailed picture of shocks in the epicentral area [Serva et al, 2016].…”
