Lab Earthquakes Show How Grains at Fault Boundaries Lead to Major Quakes - Caltech

Lab Earthquakes Show How Grains at Fault Boundaries Lead to Major Quakes - Caltech
Faults once thought to be "creeping" yet stable may be at risk for big ruptures.
By simulating earthquakes in a lab, Caltech engineers have provided strong experimental support for a form of earthquake propagation now thought responsible for the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that deva… [+4988 chars] Read More
