Abstract
The M s=7.3 earthquake of June, 8 1993, off the eastern coast of Kamchatka was very complicated in the rupture history. The rupture feature of this event was discussed by the broadband waveform modelling method as well as the combining analysis on the subevent stack and the quasi-time difference. The results suggest that the rupture propagation of the event was in a strong unidirection and its main rupture processes can be expressed as: rupture nucleation→NEE→near east by north→near east by south→stop, from deep to shallow.
