Abstract
A new kinematic function ( KF), which incorporates fault dimension, mean variation in velocity of rupture ( ΔV r ), radiation pattern, and mean depth from which the majority of the damaging energy is radiated, is able to model the shape of isoseismals of the 1694 earthquake. The focal mechanism of this earthquake is estimated to be a normal fault of Apenninic direction, dipping 60°–70° towards the NE, with a left-lateral strike-slip component. Due to the similarity with isoseismals of other earthquakes in the southern Apennines it is argued that similar mechanisms could be responsible for other earthquakes in the region.
