A possible characteristic of foreshocks derived from the evaluation of loading/unloading induced by earth tides

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The detection of the potential of a larger event immediately after a moderate earthquake is a quite difficult problem. In this work, we devised an approach to determine whether an earthquake is a foreshock to a larger mainshock by evaluating loading ...
