Slip Model
of 26 july 2001 Earthquake

Northwestern of Skyros Island, Aegean Sea

  A large earthquake of magnitude Mw=6.5 occurred on 26 July 2001 NW of the Skyros Island
which is situated at the Northern Aegean Sea. The focal mechanism solution revealed strike slip type faulting.
The ruptured fault is almost vertical and has a NW-SE direction.
