  1. *Average value of DC percentages for each class of earthquakes in catalogue. The type of event is defined according to the Aki-Richards definition29: an earthquake is classified as “reverse faulting event” if its rake is in the range 90° ± 30°, while normal earthquakes fall in −90° ± 30° and strike-slip events are in 0° ± 30°, ±180°  30°.
  2. **σ is the standard error of the mean.
  3. Earthquakes with transtensional focal mechanism (rake angle in the range between normal and strike-slip events ones).
  4. Earthquakes with transpressive focal mechanism (rake angle in the range between reverse and strike-slip events ones).
  5. §Logarithm of the p-value for the χ2-test of uniformity of DC distribution as a function of the rake angle. Mean DC values for binned rake are used (interval amplitude 5.5°, 65 values, 64 degrees of freedom).
