Abstract;Depths of aftershocks of major inland earthquakes decrease towards the both ends of the source fault along the fault strike. Depths of the seismogenic layer along the long major faults, such as the Median Tectonic Line, have same undulations and the shallow depths seem to correspond to the segmentation boundaries of surface faults. Thus the variations in seismogenic layer can be an index to reveal the segmentation of the active faults. (author abst.)
