On the Common Features of Reservoir Water-Level Variations and Their Influence on Earthquake Triggering: An Inherency of Physical Mechanism of Reservoir-Triggered Seismicity

, 2021
Impoundment of hydroelectric water reservoir influences the stability of nearby faults that may lead to reservoir-triggered seismicity (RTS). Various qualitative empirical relations, relating reservoir water-level variations with earthquake triggering ...

The influence of tectonic environment on dynamic earthquake triggering: A review and case study on Alaskan volcanoes

Tectonophysics, 2018
The phenomenon of dynamic earthquake triggering, when seismic waves from an earthquake trigger seismicity at distant sites, has been recognized for over 25 years, yet knowledge of the global distribution of dynamic triggering remains far from complete ...

Supershear triggering and cascading fault ruptures of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, earthquake doublet

Science
On 6 February 2023, two large earthquakes (moment magnitude 7.8 and 7.6) shocked a vast area of southeastern Türkiye and northern Syria, leading to heavy casualties and economic loss.

Slow earthquakes triggered by typhoons

Nature, 2009
The first reports on a slow earthquake were for an event in the Izu peninsula, Japan, on an intraplate, seismically active fault. Since then, many slow earthquakes have been detected. It has been suggested that the slow events may trigger ordinary earthquakes (in a context supported by numerical modelling), but their broader significance in terms of ...

Earthquake-triggered landslides

2023
Abstract Earthquake-triggered landslides are a very important phenomenon, particularly in high mountainous regions such as the Andes and the Himalayas which are prone to earthquakes. However, despite having caused the loss of many lives and the destruction of much infrastructure, they have not always received the attention they ...

Triggering of Earthquakes by Earthquakes

1995
There is no doubt that a strong earthquake triggers a large number of aftershocks near the epicenter. This is a manifestation of the release of tectonic energy and the process of stress relaxation. However, it is debatable that strong shocks at one location can trigger earthquakes at remote location at a distance some several times greater than the ...

Triggering of repeated earthquakes

Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth, 2016
Based on the analysis of the world’s earthquakes with magnitudes M ≥ 6.5 for 1960–2013, it is shown that they cause global-scale coherent seismic oscillations which most distinctly manifest themselves in the period interval of 4–6 min during 1–3 days after the event.

Earthquake triggering of mud volcanoes

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2009
Mud volcanoes sometimes erupt within days after nearby earthquakes. The number of such nearly coincident events is larger than would be expected by chance and the eruptions are thus assumed to be triggered by earthquakes. Here we compile observations of the response of mud volcanoes and other geologic systems (earthquakes, volcanoes, liquefaction ...
