  • Surface Rupture of the 2005 Kashmir, Pakistan, Earthquake and Its Active
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 98, No. 2, pp. 521–557, April 2008, doi: 10.1785/0120070073 Ⓔ Surface Rupture of the 2005 Kashmir, Pakistan, Earthquake and Its Active Tectonic Implications by Heitaro Kaneda, Takashi Nakata, Hiroyuki Tsutsumi, Hisao Kondo, Nobuhiko Sugito, Yasuo Awata, Sardar S. Akhtar, Abdul Majid, Waliullah Khattak, Adnan A. Awan, Robert S. Yeats, Ahmad Hussain, Muhammad Ashraf, Steven G. Wesnousky, and Allah B. Kausar Abstract To provide a detailed record of a relatively rare thrust surface rupture and examine its active tectonic implications, we have conducted field mapping of the sur- M face rupture associated with the 2005 w 7.6 Kashmir earthquake. Despite the diffi- culty arising from massive earthquake-induced landslides along the surface rupture, we found that typical pressure ridges and warps extend northwestward for a distance of ∼70 km, with a northeast-side-up vertical separation of up to ∼7 m. Neither the main frontal thrust nor the main boundary thrust is responsible for the earthquake, but three active faults or fault segments within the Sub-Himalaya, collectively called the Balakot–Bagh fault, compose the causative fault. Although the fault exhibits sub- stantial geomorphic expression of repeated similar surface ruptures, only a part of it had been mapped as active before the earthquake. The location of the hypocenter suggests that the rupture was initiated at a deep portion of the northern–central seg- ment boundary and propagated bilaterally to eventually break all three segments. Our obtained surface rupture traces and the along-strike-slip distribution are both in good agreement with results of prompt analyses of satellite images, indicating that space geodesy can greatly aid in time-consuming field mapping of surface ruptures.
