| Abstract | ||
| A seismicity study of khanaqin city and surrounding area is carried out. More than 270 quakes between 22 Nov. to 30 Dec. 2013 are recorded by Iraqi Seismic Network (ISN). Analyses of these events show earthquakes magnitude range between (1.2 – 5.6) degree, focal depth between (4 – 27) km. Seismotectonic map for studied area is drawn . Isointensity maps for the felt earthquakes are drawn and show the intensity range between (I-VII) according to the modified Mercalli scale. Fault plane solutions for four events in the study area indicate a reverse strike slip solution along planes with NW –SE direction . | ||
