Thanks Bob,

That is what I was afraid of.  I also seen those few exceptions.  Probably 
too much trouble for anything but exceptional events.  Oh well.
Regards,
Jerry

  The data you request used to be listed a lot more often that it is now.  I 
checked the current list of recent earthquakes and only found it the data 
listed on two events, the M 8.8 Chile, and the M 7.0 Ryukyu Islands.  When 
listed you will find it under the Scientific & Technical tab, and it is 
called Seismicity Cross Section.  I also checked most of the M 6.0 + 
listings on the 8-30 day list and did not find any with Seismicity Cross 
Section.  I can remember this being listed much more often a few years ago 
than is currently done.


  The published focal mechanism is another source for the fault geometry at 
the point of rupture, but it does not give the overall long view that you 
obtain with Seismicity Cross Section.

    Thank you Chris.

    I obviously was not clear with my question. I am not looking for 
diagrams, explanations or animations.  \

    For example, suppose I was interested in the Juan De Fuca Plate sub 
under the North American Plate and wondered what its side profile looked 
like.  I realize it is much more shallow there than the trenches in the 
South Pacific.

    My curiosity may be too detailed and not available except in an 
expensive technical journal or scientific site not accessible to me, I don't 
know.

    Thank you for you reply.
