摘要：

The morphology and growth analysis of coral microatolls using X-rays indicates that after a subsidence of 3 cm from 1977 to 1993, an uplift of 5 cm occurred in 1993 in the southeast of Futuna (southwest Pacific). These vertical motions are related to the strain accumulation followed by their relaxation during the earthquake (Mw: 6.4) on 12 March 1993 The locations published by the global network are nor in agreement with the aftershocks recorded locally and the co-seismic uplifts observed on the reefs. The latter indicate instead that the rupture area is located below the southwest of Futuna at an average depth of 8 km.
