"We examine the relations between spatial symmetry properties of earthquake patterns along\r\nfaults in California (CA) and local velocity structure images to test the hypothesis that ruptures\r\non bimaterial faults have statistically preferred propagation directions. The analysis employs\r\nseismic catalogues for 25 fault zones in CA. We distinguish between clustered and homoge-\r\nneous parts of each catalogue, using a recently introduced earthquake cluster analysis, and\r\nexamine asymmetry of offspring with respect to parent events within the clustered portion of\r\neach catalogue. The results indicate strong asymmetric patterns along large faults with promi-\r\nnent bimaterial interfaces (e.g. sections of the San Andreas Fault), with enhanced activities in\r\nthe directions predicted for the local velocity contrasts, and absence of significant asymmetry\r\nalong most other faults. Assuming the observed asymmetric properties of seismicity reflect\r\nthe properties of the parent earthquake ruptures, the discussed methodology and results can be\r\nused to develop refined estimates of seismic shaking hazard associated with individual fault\r\nzones."^^ .
