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 ...

Importance of small earthquakes for stress transfers and earthquake triggering [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research, 2005
International audienceWe estimate the relative importance of small and large earthquakes for static stress changes and for earthquake triggering, assuming that earthquakes are triggered by static stress changes and that earthquakes are located on a ...

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.

A probabilistic approach for the classification of earthquakes as ‘triggered’ or ‘not triggered’

Journal of Seismology, 2012
The occurrence time of earthquakes can be anticipated or delayed by external phenomena that induce strain energy changes on the faults. ‘Anticipated’ earthquakes are generally called ‘triggered’; however, it can be controversial to label a specific earthquake as such, mostly because of the stochastic nature of earthquake occurrence and of the large ...

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 ...

Sudden Cardiac Death Triggered by an Earthquake

New England Journal of Medicine, 1996
The earthquake that struck the Los Angeles area at 4:31 a.m. on January 17, 1994, was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in a major city in North America. Once the life-threatening situation was over, the Northridge earthquake, so called because its epicenter was near Northridge, California, just north of Los Angeles, provided investigators

Landslides Triggered by Recent Earthquakes in Italy

2022
This document provides a detailed description of seismically-induced landslides and rockfalls that occurred in Italy during the 2016 Central Italy earthquake sequence. Relevant ground motion characteristics for all mainshocks of the sequence are analyzed.

Triggering of earthquake aftershocks by dynamic stresses

Nature, 2000
It is thought that small 'static' stress changes due to permanent fault displacement can alter the likelihood of, or trigger, earthquakes on nearby faults. Many studies of triggering in the near-field, particularly of aftershocks, rely on these static changes as the triggering agent and consider them only in terms of equivalent changes in the applied ...

Tidal Triggering of Earthquakes

2000
Lunar-solar tidal triggering of earthquakes has been the subject of studies for over a century since the classical work of Schuster (1897). Kanamori (1977) computed global annual seismic energy release over past seventy years, 1906–1975. Figure 7.1 shows large seismic energy release during 1950–1965.

Lunisolar effect on the trigger of earthquakes

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2011
AbstractDealing with moon theory and tidal dynamics and checking lists of earthquake data one can take the following two observations: 1) The first extreme proxigean spring tide in the new millennium happened on 2005 January 10, in new moon phase, and half a synodic month earlier, when the Moon was full on 2004 December 26, the Christmas Tsunami was ...
