Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article investigates parametrization issues of the main shock from the earthquake of June 13, 2009, m b = 6.3 felt in Tekeli town with intensity 7. Spatial characteristics of the source, mechanism and CMT, aftershock activity regularities were studied. Rupture plane in the source was defined with high probability. Information and pictures about destructions and damages of buildings on the territory of Tekeli town as well as isoseismal map are shown. In 1993 almost at the same place the earthquake with the same focal parameters and processes occurred. Very close parameters of seismic effects on the territory of Almaty having two almost the same sources were noted.
