文摘

The analysis of fault plane solutions of earthquakes is carried out in most seismotectonic studies to characterize the tectonic deformation styles and to estimate strain and stress directions in the investigated areas. Nevertheless the data available in the literature, are reported with different formats and notations and, in most cases, only in papery form, so that they are not suitable to be handled by computer procedures and graphic packages. Sometimes the data are reported with typographical errors, inaccuracies and inconsistencies that make them almost useless for other investigators. In some cases several solutions, often very different among each other, are given for the same earthquake by different authors thus requiring a choice be made among them.
