Earthquakes: Relationships in a slow slip
Heidi Houston1 & John E. Vidale1
Abstract
The size and duration of disparate, slow, low-amplitude earthquake processes seem to obey a single scaling law. The relationship is very different from that which governs their more violent and impulsive cousins.
Subduction zones — those regions of Earth's crust where one tectonic plate dives beneath another — are usually associated with frequent and violent earthquake activity. But not always.
- Heidi Houston and John E. Vidale are in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Washington, 4000 15th Avenue NE, Seattle, Washington 98195-1310, USA.
