Firoozabad-Kajoor Earthquake 2004/5/28

On the Friday afternoon, May 28, 2004, the northern part of Iran was shaken by an earthquake which was felt severely in a radius of over 200 km about its epicenter area. The earthquake which was located 70 km north of Tehran caused catastrophic panic among people in Tehran.

Broad Band Seismic Network (INSN) of International Institute of Earthquake engineering and Seismology (IIEES), placed the epicenter at  36.37oN and 51.64oE with a focal depth of about 28 km, and assigned a surface wave magnitude (Ms) of 6.3 to the earthquake.

The fault responsible for the May 28 earthquake is not identified yet, however it could be related to one of the NW-SE trending thrust faults along the southeastern onshore of the  Caspian Sea. This is compatible with the CMT solution of the earthquake indicating a thrust mechanism with a minor strike-slip motion.
