204 Pure app!. geophys. , P. Reasenberg demonstrated that in
Cascadia earthquakes are four times more likely to be foreshocks
than in California. Many speakers emphasized the regional
differences in all earthquake parameters, and it was generally
understood that basic models of the earthquake occurrence must be
modified for regional application. The idea that the focal
mechanisms of foreshocks may differ from that of background
activity was advocated by Y. Chen and identified by M. Ohtake as
possibly the thus far most neglected property of foreshocks, in
efforts to identify them. S. Matsumura proposed that focal
mechanism patterns of small earthquakes may differ character
istically near locked fault segments into which fault creep is
advancing. Considerable discussion was devoted to the status of the
seismic gap hypothesis because M. Wyss argued that the occurrence
of the M 7. 9, 1986, Andreanof Islands earthquake was a
confirmation of Reid's rebound theory of earthquakes and thus of
the time predictable version of the gap hypothesis, whereas Y.
Kagan believed he could negate this view by presenting a list of
nine earthquake pairs with M> 7. 4, moment centroid separation
of less than 100 km, and time difference less than about 60% of the
time he estimated it would take plate motions to restore the slip
of the first event.
