The Kurikoma cluster is named for Mt. Kurikoma, a stratovolcano in
northern Honshu, Japan. Much of the seismicity in the region is thought
to be related to magmatic activity. The cluster includes 5 earthquakes
of magnitude 6.0-7.0, and most of the smaller events appear to have
occurred as aftershocks or swarms related to these larger events.
Station coverage for location calibration and depth control is
excellent. All events have depth control from near-source or
local-distance observations. All events are recorded at teleseismic
distances.
