Abstract (2. Language):
In the recent years, one of the main issues in seismology and geophysics science is the vibrational analysis of the earthquake. The main contribution of this paper is to analysis of the inter-station horizontal magnetic responses and the vertical magnetic data of Haiti earthquake. An earthquake trembled Haiti and the Dominican Republic (Hispaniola Island) on Monday 12 January of 2010 with extent of MW = 7.1. Hispaniola is located in an active tectonic zone and the North American and Caribbean sheets strike site. The Caribbean sheet moving toward North American sheet has occurrence high extent earthquakes in different periods. There are two active sills with eastern western procedure and approximately 1000 Km length in Haiti. The surface center of 12 January’s earthquake was happened on southern sill and by strikes lip mechanism. Vibrational analysis results demonstrate that, by studding aftershocks, the western side of earthquake’s surface center is more active than the eastern side. Finally the effects of adding aftershocks are evaluated on earthquake analysis accuracy.
