1982 North Yemen earthquake
[edit]- ... the 1982 North Yemen earthquake was described as a "plate marginal" event that consisted of two equal sized shocks?
- Reviewed: Desfado
- Comment: None of the (complete) sources are available online. Just abstracts. A couple of journal articles and a book. The external link labelled USGS has some of the same information that's sourced to one of the journal articles, and please just ask, and I will do my best to answer any questions.

expansion all in order. Article cited and offline material accepted in good faith -hook is a little boring. Why not something simpler, like how many people perished or that it wa sthe first quake with fatalities on hte Arabian Peninsula since 1941? Or somesuch?
