SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS REGION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES

Table I. Computed data for Snowy Mountains earthquakes

The tremors in the vicinity of Berridale appear to lie along two distinct lines, which are labelled AA´ and BB´ in Fig. 1. The same division is apparent in the order in which the movements occurred, Nos. 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 lie close to the line AA´, whereas Nos. 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 are near BB´. No. 20 occupies a position almost midway between the lines. Later movements are distributed more randomly throughout the Snowy Mountains area, but Nos. 31, 39 and 41 are near AA´, and Nos. 26, 28, 40 and 42 are near BB´.
