Comparison of centroid-moment tensor and first motion solutions shows that the two different methods give compatible solutions for moderate sized earthquakes in the western Mediterranean. While the centroid-moment tensor solution provides a good indication of the general style of deformation occurring in an area, careful consideration of the first motion solution is still necessary for detailed study of source mechanics. There is no obvious character of the centroid-moment tensor solution (such as small values of moment or large non-double-couple contribution) that can be used as diagnostic of a significantly different first motion solution.
