The tidal triggering of earthquakes
地震科学进展, 2021 The tidal triggering of earthquakes refers to the phenomenon that the stress change caused by the tide triggers the earthquake. Because the study of the tidal triggering of earthquakes may provide valuable information on the conditions of fault rupture ...

Precursory pattern of tidal triggering of earthquakes in six regions of China: the possible relation to the crustal heterogeneity [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 We found the possible correlation between the precursory pattern of tidal triggering of earthquakes and the crustal heterogeneities, which is of particular importance to the researchers in earthquake prediction and earthquake hazard prevention.

Stick-slip nucleation triggering of Wenchuan earthquake
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2021 The MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12th, 2008 on the steeply reverse fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone, Western China. Catastrophic failure and rupture occurred along the listric sliding surface.

How size and trigger matter: analyzing rainfall- and earthquake-triggered landslide inventories and their causal relation in the Koshi River basin, central Himalaya [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Inventories of landslides caused by different triggering mechanisms, such as earthquakes, extreme rainfall events or anthropogenic activities, may show different characteristics in terms of distribution, contributing factors and frequency–area ...

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 We propose a normal-stress-dependent Nagata law. Nagata et al. (J Geophys Res 117:B02314, 2012) revised the rate- and state-dependent friction law by introducing the shear stress dependence.

Tiny stresses are capable of triggering earthquakes and tremors in Arunachal Himalaya
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Arunachal Himalaya has been hosting some notable events in the recent past. The tectonic history of Arunachal Himalaya is complex and has been influenced by several major tectonic events, including the 1950 Mw8.6 Assam-Tibet earthquake. In this study,

Nature Communications, 2022 Laboratory earthquake experiments reproduce delayed earthquake triggering, similar to aftershocks, as a result of propagating slow slip fronts. The speed of the fronts can be highly sensitive to fault stress levels left behind by previous earthquakes.

Precursory Tidal Triggering of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku Aftershocks
Applied Sciences, 2022 Precursory earth tidal triggering is believed to influence earthquake timing preferentially when a region is critically stressed. However, whether and how the recurrence of aftershocks after a giant earthquake is affected by tidal triggering remains ...

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012 Only just recently, the phenomenon of earthquakes being triggered by a distant earthquake has been well established. Yet, most of the triggered earthquakes have been limited to small earthquakes (M < 3).
