Gravitational body forces focus North American intraplate earthquakes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Intraplate earthquakes occur far from tectonic plate boundaries and so it is vital to understand how and where they may happen. Here, Levandowskiet al.

Fast and slow intraplate ruptures during the 19 October 2020 magnitude 7.6 Shumagin earthquake [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Strong tsunami excitation from slow rupture of shallow subduction zone faults is recognized as a key concern for tsunami hazard assessment. Three months after the 22 July 2020 magnitude 7.8 thrust earthquake struck the plate boundary below the Shumagin ...

Strike-slip 23 January 2018 MW 7.9 Gulf of Alaska rare intraplate earthquake: Complex rupture of a fracture zone system. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Large intraplate earthquakes in oceanic lithosphere are rare and usually related to regions of diffuse deformation within the oceanic plate. The 23 January 2018 MW 7.9 strike-slip Gulf of Alaska earthquake ruptured an oceanic fracture zone system ...

Quaternary surface ruptures of the inherited mature Yangsan Fault: implications for intraplate earthquakes in southeastern Korea [PDF]
Solid EarthEarthquake prediction in intraplate regions, such as the Korean Peninsula, is challenging due to the complexity of fault distributions. This study employed diverse methods and data sources to investigate Quaternary surface rupturing along the Yangsan ...

A large intraplate earthquake triggered by latent magmatism [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 [1] A magnitude (Mj) 7.3 intraplate earthquake occurred in the western Tottori area, southwest Japan, on 6 October 2000, where there was no apparent prefaulting subsurface indication of the source fault of the 2000 earthquake. Magnetotelluric soundings were taken in and around where the aftershocks occurred in order to image three-dimensional ...

Defining the Scale to Build Complex Networks with a 40-Year Norwegian Intraplate Seismicity Dataset [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 We present a new complex network-based study focused on intraplate earthquakes recorded in southern Norway during the period 1980–2020. One of the most recognized limitations of spatial complex network procedures and analyses concerns the definition of ...

Spatial Heterogeneity of
EntropyThe northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (NE Tibetan Plateau) exhibits active geological structures and has experienced multiple strong earthquakes, with M ≥ 7, throughout history. Particularly noteworthy is the 1920 M81/2 earthquake in the Haiyuan

Earthquake-induced landslides in Norway [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Norway is located in an intraplate setting with low-to-moderate seismicity. The mountainous landscape leads to a high level of landside activity throughout the country.
