Tidal triggering of earthquakes [PDF]

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1975
abstractAnalysis of the tidal stress tensor at the time of moderate to large earthquakes fails to confirm an earlier hypothesis that the origin times of shallow dip-slip earthquakes correlate with solid-earth tidal shear stress. Furthermore, no correlation is seen for either tidal shear stress or tidal normal-to-the-fault compressive stress with ...

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 ...

Anomalous stress diffusion in earthquake triggering: Correlation length, time dependence, and directionality [PDF]

, 2003
It has been recently suggested that moderate and large earthquakes can be triggered by similarly sized events at very long range. Here we study the main characteristics of earthquake triggering by determining its correlation length, time dependence, and ...

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

Geophysical 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.

A review of tidal triggering of global earthquakes

Geodesy 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 ...

Long-range, critical-point dynamics in oil field flow rate data [PDF]

, 2006
Earthquake triggering data exhibit long-range spatio-temporal correlations of the power-law form C(l) ∼ l−α and anomalously-slow temporal diffusion of the mean triggering distance of the form: 〈l〉 ∼ tH, with H < 0.5.

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

Natural 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.

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

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).

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

Scientific 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.

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]

, 2009
The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...
