Abstract

A series of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 5.8 to 7.0 occurred in Lombok in the period of July to August 2018. Two events occurred consecutively, the 6.9 on August 5, 2018 (11:46:38 UTC), and the 7.0 on August 9, 2018 (14:56:28 UTC). Those phenomena are rare because earthquakes usually require a relatively long time to accumulate their energies before being released. Because of those events, so an explanation is needed to explain what happened at the source. In this context, this study aims to determine the relations between the events based on the asperity zone and the slip distributions. Modeling was performed using teleseismic data and seismic inversion of body waves at low frequencies. The result shows that the asperity zone of 6.9 is at 0 km in a strike-direction and -18 km wide in a dip-direction with a maximum slip of 1.3 m, whereas, for the 7.0 event, the asperity zone is at -36 km in the direction of the strike and -7 km in the direction of the dip. Both events have the asperity in the up-dip section with an upward slip distribution towards the up-dip. The slip distribution of the first event and the second one has a relationship because the 6.9 earthquake slip leads to the 7.0 earthquake fault plane. The relation is suspected to be due to the weakening of rock conditions and an enlargement that is limited by space and time during the earthquake. As a result, those two earthquakes are closely related to stress distribution, forming a new asperity zone.

Abstract

On July 17, 2006 an earthquake with a magnitude of  7.7 triggered a tsunami that struck 500 km of the coast in the south of the island of Java. The tsunami generated is classified as an earthquake tsunami because the waves generated were quite large compared to the strength of the earthquake. The difference in the strength of the earthquake and the resulting tsunami requires a tsunami modeling study with an estimated fault area in addition to using aftershock and scaling law. The purpose of this study is to validate tsunamis that occur based on the estimation of the source mechanism and the area of earthquake faults. Determination of earthquake source mechanism parameters using the Teleseismic Body-Wave Inversion method that uses teleseismic waveforms with the distance recorded waveform from the source between  Whereas, tsunami modeling is carried out using the Community Model Interface for Tsunami (commit) method. Fault plane parameters that obtained were strike , dip , and rake  with dominant slip pointing up to north-north-west with a maximum value of 1.7 m. The fault plane is estimated to have a length of 280 km in the strike direction and a width of 102 km in the dip direction. From the results of the tsunami modeling, the maximum inundation area is 0.32 km2 in residential areas flanked by Pangandaran bays and the maximum run-up of 380.96 cm in Pasir Putih beach area. The tsunami modeling results in much smaller inundation and run-up from field observations, it was assumed that the fault plane segmentation had occurred due to the greater energy released than the one from the fault area, causing waves much larger than the modeling results.
