Slow earthquakes release a similar amount of energy as fast earthquakes but over a much longer time scale. While this difference makes them less dangerous to the public, their frequent occurrence signals that faults move almost continuously.

A Nonextensive Statistical Physics Analysis of the 1995 Kobe, Japan Earthquake [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents an analysis of the distribution of earthquake magnitudes for the period 1990–1998 in a broad area surrounding the epicenter of the 1995 Kobe earthquake.

Spontaneous complexity in the dynamics of slow laboratory earthquakes.
Nature CommunicationsRock deformation experiments play a key role in our understanding of earthquake physics and friction constitutive laws. These laws commonly describe the response of analogue laboratory faults as a simple and homogeneous system, without accounting for the spatial-temporal evolution of structures in the sample.

Do Slow Slip Events Trigger Large and Great Megathrust Earthquakes? [PDF]
, 2018 Slow slip events have been suggested to trigger subduction earthquakes. However, examples to date have been poorly recorded, occurring offshore, where data are sparse. Better understanding of slow slip events and their influence on subsequent earthquakes

Modeling monthlong slow slip earthquakes [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2011 The slow crawl of the Earth's tectonic plates is periodically punctuated by the release of decades or centuries of accumulated stress. Standard earthquakes, lasting from fractions of a second to minutes in duration, are known to range from imperceptible to those that can flatten a city, but recent geodetic measurements have led to the discovery of a ...

Daily measurement of slow slip from low-frequency earthquakes is consistent with ordinary earthquake scaling [PDF]
, 2019 Slow slip transients on faults can last from seconds to months and stitch together the earthquake cycle. However, no single geophysical instrument is able to observe the full range of slow slip because of bandwidth limitations.

Getting to the Bottom of Slow-Motion Earthquakes
Eos, 2020 For close to 20 years, slow-motion earthquakes have been an enigma. Core samples provide new clues to their origins.
