The Appin (New South Wales) earthquake of 15 November 1981
The earthquake that occurred near Appin, New South Wales, on 15 November 1981 and its aftershock of 19 November were both associated with thrust faulting in the middle crust (10-20 km), caused by east-west compressive forces. The magnitudes of the main earthquake were estimated to be 3.9 Ms, 4.3 mb, 4.6 ML and 4.1 Mw, and a seismic moment of about 1.4 x 10^1 5 N-m was estimated. Although no damage was reported, the main earthquake was felt over about 60 000 km^2 of New South Wales, with a maximum felt intensity of 5 on the Modified Mercalli Scale experienced near the epicentral region and along the coastal plain from Wollongong to Nowra. The radius of the MMIV isoseismal was about 200 km.
