Their discovery of such clusters in earthquake records from central and southern California offers considerable encouragement that these swarms may be used to predict larger earthquakes.doi:10.1029/EO059i003p00126-03AnonymousJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Eos Transactions American Geophysical Union...
“The scientists who create physical models of earthquake systems really need good observational constraints to rule out certain types of models,” Ross says. “We have a lot of data, but most of it comes from right on the surface, which is far away from where the exciting stuff is happeni...
Charles F. Richter was an American physicist and seismologist who developed the Richter scale for measuring earthquake magnitude. Born on an Ohio farm, Richter moved with his mother to Los Angeles in 1916. He attended the University of Southern Californi
