Table 1 The scenarios discussed in the text for the 1887 Ligurian earthquake, with fixed source centroid location (\(7.94^\circ\)E, \(43.74^\circ\)N) and focal depth (15 km). The rake angle is adjusted to account for both pure reverse and normal faulting (i.e., with a rake of \(\pm 90^\circ\)). The strike and dip angles are reported together with the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) values calculated for each fault scenario relative to the H trace recorded at the Greenwich observatory.
Scenario | Kinematics | Strike | Dip | PCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
S1 | Reverse | \(235^\circ\) | \(16^\circ\)N | 0.658 |
S2 | Normal | \(235^\circ\) | \(16^\circ\)N | 0.733 |
S3 | Reverse | \(250^\circ\) | \(70^\circ\)N | 0.570 |
S4 | Normal | \(250^\circ\) | \(70^\circ\)N | 0.558 |
S5 | Reverse | \(70^\circ\) | \(70^\circ\)S | 0.647 |
S6 | Normal | \(70^\circ\) | \(70^\circ\)S | 0.710 |
