But most of us have a predominant strike pattern, and so it was with the 52 Harvard runners.
However, the finite fault model of Wang et al. (2008) did not show a predominant strike slip mechanism.
There are six events showing a predominant strike slip mechanism, but all of these occur at the north-easternmost end, not the northern segment.

Measurements of fracture geometries indicate several predominant strike directions with two peaks in NNE-SSE and NW SE direction (see inlet).
The focal mechanism solution of earthquakes in the BG area is a mixture of strike-slip and normal faulting with predominant strike-slip focal mechanism solution (Delouis et al., 2002; Fig.2002
The feature of spatial distribution of focal mechanisms is characterized by a uniform direction of P-axis while the faulting type is variable; predominant strike-slip events are distributed widely while minor reverse- and normal-faulting events are located to the northwest and near the center of fault, respectively.
Also, the predominant strike-slip mechanism from teleseismic inversion could be an artifact of assuming a constant low dip angle, and the true dip angle in the northern segment could be high as manifested by the dip angles of focal mechanisms (event Nos. 1, 7, 9, 10, 11).
The EGF1 event occurred very close to SMGA1 and inside SMGA2, with predominant strike-slip faulting similar to the focal mechanism of the mainshock (Fig. 5, left).
The surface break of the northern segment shows similar amounts of strike-slip and thrust motion, in contrast to the predominant strike-slip motion in the models by Hayes and Ji (2008) and Nishimura and Yagi (2008).
Therefore, the apparent contradiction between the predominant strike-slip focal mechanisms in Fig. 8 and the reverse-faulting stress regime at depth in Fig. 9 can be explained by the existence of vertical weak planes.
The Futagawa fault, striking N60°E, forms part of the Oita-Kumamoto Tectonic Line and was a predominant part of the 2016 seismic source.
