The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for scientists to create a single computer model that accurately combines all of these features. Seismic cycles and long ...

Abstract: This paper presents a verification of three simulations of the ShakeOut scenario, an M w 7.8 earthquake on a portion of the San Andreas fault in southern California, conducted by three ...

In order to better understand the behaviour of seismicity simulations, we apply VC to three relatively simple problems involving a straight strike-slip fault. In problem I, we divide the fault into ...

The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic ... The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes that dot the Pacific ...
