Scientific paper

The relative amplitude moment tensor method is used to determine the source types and source orientations of the four deep earthquakes from those selected for discussion at the 1985 General Assembly of IASPEI. Source types show no direct evidence of deviation from a double couple, and the well-constrained orientations of this source type can be derived since solutions are tightly constrained by a few important relative amplitudes, mostly involving nodal observations. These solutions are compared with the results of other methods and agree favourably with the USGS first motion solutions. The Harvard CMT solutions, however, often predict P, pP and sP relative amplitudes inconsistent with those observed, and therefore tend to be at variance with the solutions obtained here.
