Aftershocks of the M 6.7 terremoto: Molucca Sea, 160 km al este de Bitung, Célebes Septentrional, Indonesia Wed, 26 Nov 2014 14:33
More info
Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake ruptured along a surface of approx. 501 km
2 (=194 sqare miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 39 km (24 mi).
Aftershocks typically occur during the weeks and months following the quake at or near the same fault, at distances of up to approx. two times the length of the rupture zone.
The often broadly linear arrangement of aftershock epicenters encompasses the rupture zone of the main shock (check on the
map below to verify).
