Shaking up seismology: geometry as the breakthrough predictor of earthquakes

SciTechDaily

Researchers at Brown University have found that the geometry of fault networks, and not just the friction on fault lines, significantly influences the occurrence and intensity of earthquakes. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers at Brown University found that the geometry of faults, including misalignments and complex structures within fault zones, plays a crucial role in determining the … Read more
