Among the 50 events studied here, 29 arethrust fault events <strong>and</strong> the other 21 events have focal mechanisms that are dominantlyreverse with a small component <strong>of</strong> strike-slip movement. In terms <strong>of</strong> the regionaldistribution, all events in the WQSZ have a reverse-sense focal mechanism, although53
