of meters. Pseudotachylyte-bearing fault zones in the exhumed accretionary complexes commonly contain quartz, calcite, ankerite, and laumontite veins and their fragments, which are consistent with fluid-infiltrated conditions (Ikesawa et al.2003; Mukoyoshi et al.2006; Okamoto et al.2006; Ujiie et...
Students’ earthquake knowledge level was found to be above the midpoint, while sustainable earthquake awareness was found to be below the midpoint. The level of earthquake knowledge, knowledge of the distribution of earthquake zones and knowledge of earthquake effects were higher in those who took...
Slow earthquakes are slow fault slip events. Quantifying and monitoring slow earthquake activity characteristics are important, because they may change before large earthquakes occur. Statistical seismicity models are useful for quantifying seismicity ch
the surrounding volumes of rock, modifying stresses that alter the timing of slip on other structures in that volume2,4,5. Strain may be stored in the crust due to deformation, or microstructural evolution and/or fluid infiltration (rheological changes), both within the brittle fault zones and...
anMW6.7 rupture struck the Doğanyol-Sivrice region of the central EAFZ main strand, northeast of the bifurcation; this was the largest event on the fault in the last 50 years prior to 202325,26,27,28,29,30,31. The cumulative slip on the main strand of the EAFZ is modest, with ...

been particularly well documented in several subduction zone megathrust earthquakes3,4,5. An alternative view is that foreshocks occur as part of a cascade of failures, such that the large earthquake that occurs after them is governed by the proximity of a fault to failure in a large event6...
