The Tekeli earthquake of 2009 in Kazakhstan: Source and effects

The article investigates parametrization issues of the main shock from the earthquake of June 13, 2009, m _b = 6.3 felt in Tekeli town with intensity 7. Spatial characteristics of the source, mechanism and CMT, aftershock activity regularities were studied. Rupture plane in the source was defined with high probability. Information and pictures about destructions and damages of buildings on the territory of Tekeli town as well as isoseismal map are shown. In 1993 almost at the same place the earthquake with the same focal parameters and processes occurred. Very close parameters of seismic effects on the territory of Almaty having two almost the same sources were noted.
