As seismic stations were few before the establishment of modern seismic monitoring system, it was difficult to determine hypocenters. Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) misdetermined the 1936 event at the east off Korean peninsula, although the true location was at the south of the Korean peninsula. This study researches the mislocation of the1936 event by JMA. As the result, it is clarified that effective use of the distribution of seismic intensity and P wave arrival directions in addition to data of P and S wave arrival times is important to determine hypocenters correctly for earthquakes in the early twentieth century.
The basic function of the satellite image analysis is explained using QGIS as a Free and Open-Source Systems (FOSS). We can analyze and interpret minerals by spectral computation of satellite data through the basic functions of QGIS using Semi-automatic classification plugin (SCP) to download and to correct atmospherically for the spectral band ration calculations.
