The East
Mediterranean region is located in the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and is surrounded
by many active tectonic units. ln this study, the stress change is investigated
by the Coulomb stress analysis for north of Hellenic Subduction zone located in
East Mediterranean. The data set consists of 5 strong earthquakes (Mw≥6.0)
focal mechanism solutions, occurred between 2000 and 2017 for analysis. The relationships
between Coulomb stress maps and other earthquakes that occurred in the region
with magnitudes less than 6.0 are analyzed to interpret stress transfer. According to the calculated Coulomb stress variation maps
for the study region, the stress change demonstrates
generally high or positive lobes in the north-south direction, whereas the stress
change reflects low or negative lobes in the east-west direction. On the other
hand, the cross-sectional view indicates that high-stress regions correlate
with mainshocks and their aftershocks.
