Earthquakes: Caught in the Act

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Faults break under the stress of plate tectonic forces, but the processes immediately preceding rupture are enigmatic. Monitoring of a remote oceanic fault that breaks regularly indicates that rupture is controlled by physical properties of the fault zone.
