• On November 15, 2006, the Mw 8.3 Simushir earthquake occurred within the limits of the seismic gap in the Central Kuril Region. Prior to the Sim earthquake, the structure of the seismic gap was studied during two geological-geophysical expeditions. The obtained data allowed Baranov et al to identify the zones of transverse faults in the island arc, to compile the block structure scheme of the gap, and, on the basis of a keyboard model, to predict the earthquake occurrence and to calculate the possible tsunami wave.
