Tiny stresses are capable of triggering earthquakes and tremors in Arunachal Himalaya

open access: yesScientific 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,

Precursory Tidal Triggering of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku Aftershocks

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

Remote Triggering of the Mw 6.9 Hokkaido Earthquake as a Result of the Mw 6.6 Indonesian Earthquake on September 11, 2008

open access: yesTerrestrial, 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).

Effect of tidal triggering on seismicity in Taiwan revealed by the empirical mode decomposition method [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012
The effect of tidal triggering on earthquake occurrence has been controversial for many years. This study considered earthquakes that occurred near Taiwan between 1973 and 2008.

A review of tidal triggering of global earthquakes

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2023
Earthquake prediction remains a challenging and difficult task for scientists all over the world. The tidal triggering of earthquakes is being proven by an increasing number of investigations, most of which have shown that earthquakes are positively ...

Enhanced Tidal Sensitivity of Seismicity Before the 2019 Magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest, California Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Earth's crust is continuously subjected to oscillatory stress perturbations due to the solid Earth and ocean tides. The seismic response to such stress modulations carries information on earthquake physics and crustal properties.

Landslide Susceptibility Assessment at the Basin Scale for Rainfall- and Earthquake-Triggered Shallow Slides

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The hydrographic basin of Ribeira Grande (S. Miguel Island, Azores) has a set of characteristics that enhance the occurrence of shallow slides that have been triggered by rainfall and earthquakes.

Interevent-time distribution and aftershock frequency in non-stationary induced seismicity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The initial footprint of an earthquake can be extended considerably by triggering of clustered aftershocks. Such earthquake–earthquake interactions have been studied extensively for data-rich, stationary natural seismicity.

Recent Seismic Sequences and Activation of Normal Fault Systems in the Mugello Basin and Surrounding Areas (Northern Apennines, Italy)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Mugello Basin (North-Eastern Tuscany) is an intermontane basin of the Northern Apennines (Italy) with a well-documented record of seismicity; the two major historical earthquakes occurred in 1542 (Mw = 6.0) and in 1919 (Mw = 6.4).
