Abstract

Rotation of the compressive stress axis associated with the focal mechanism of a seismic event has been found to precede several large thrust earthquakes in the Garm region of the USSR. A possible explanation can be offered by assuming systematic vertical migration of foreshock activity within a region of thrust tectonics. Some laboratory and other results appear to support this possibility.
