Earthquake science: Shaking faults loose
Chris Marone
Abstract
Earthquakes often induce aftershocks on other faults, but the mechanisms remain elusive. An innovative analysis tells us more about the effects of dynamic stresses caused by the passage of seismic waves.
How does an earthquake on one fault affect the likelihood of failure on nearby faults? In tackling this question, Kilb et al.1 (page 570 of this issue) distinguish between two different triggering effects and document the possible influence of one of them — seismic waves.
