Fig. 3

Epicentral distribution in sub-region A1 of the Burma subduction zone, and E-W vertical cross-sections. Symbol size represents earthquake magnitude; symbol shape denotes the depth. The dotted rectangle in the epicentral maps indicates the epicentral area of selected earthquakes. (a) Hypocenters located by ISC and USGS (1964–2007). (b) Selected ISC and USGS hypocenters. Only those earthquakes also shown in Fig. 3(c) are plotted here. (c) Hypocenters relocated using the MJHD method. The bars represent the standard errors of the hypocenter locations. The earthquakes shown are those with precise hypocenters, for which the standard errors of latitude, longitude, and focal depth are less than 0.1°, 0.1°, and 20 km, respectively. CCF: Chittagong Coastal Fault. KLF: Kaladan Fault. KBF: Kabaw Fault. Note that magnitude is expressed as mb (by ISC and USGS).
