One of the urgent problems - a solution of the focal mechanism of an earthquake is considered. On the example of several events occurred in the Carpathian region of Ukraine, the solving of this problem with a graphic method is proposed. This method is based on identifying the best location option of nodal planes relatively to both the fuzzy P-wave arrivals and the values of the logarithm of the ratio of the S-wave amplitude to the P-wave amplitude. A sequence of plotting diagrams for determining
