Fault plane picking from focal mechanisms in reverse faulting stress: Application to the Mw6.9 Boumerdes (Algeria) earthquake sequence

Identification of the fault plane from two nodal planes of the focal mechanism is, in general, ambiguous. This problem is commonly solved using other constraints provided by tectonic, geological or seismic studies. In this paper, we evaluate the probability of identifying the fault plane using knowl...
