Abstract
The Kaoiki, Hawaii, earthquake with magnitude 6. 6 of November 16, 1983 was a strike-slip faulting event on a fault with large dip angle. The results for mechanisms of smaller events before and after the Kaoiki mainshock show that there were two kinds of mechanisms: (1) strike-slip on the fault with large dip angle; (2) slip on the crustal discontinuity plane with smaller dip angle, and systematic and alternative changes in the mechanisms were observed.
