2. Focal mechanisms – CAP method We computed the moment tensor solutions using the Cut And Paste (CAP) method originally proposed by Zhao and Helmerger (1994) and later modified by Zhu and Helmerger (1996). The focal mechanisms and source depth are determined using a grid search technique. Each waveform is broken into Pnl and surface-wave segments. CAP has proven to be effective for analyzing earthquakes even with magnitudes between 2.5 and 4.0 Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Università di Messina

9. Black and white in the polar plot correspond to P and T axes, respectively.

10. Black and white in the polar plots correspond to P and T axes, respectively. Normal faulting resulted to be dominant in sector A, more favourably positioned with respect to the southeast-ward retreat of subduction hinge, while strike-slip components become evident in sector B located across the transfer zone between the extensional and compressional domains.
