Slow earthquakes triggered by typhoons
Nature, 2009The first reports on a slow earthquake were for an event in the Izu peninsula, Japan, on an intraplate, seismically active fault. Since then, many slow earthquakes have been detected. It has been suggested that the slow events may trigger ordinary earthquakes (in a context supported by numerical modelling), but their broader significance in terms of ...

A scaling law for slow earthquakes
Nature, 2007Recently, a series of unusual earthquake phenomena have been discovered, including deep episodic tremor, low-frequency earthquakes, very-low-frequency earthquakes, slow slip events and silent earthquakes. Each of these has been demonstrated to arise from shear slip, just as do regular earthquakes, but with longer characteristic durations and radiating ...

Seismic and environmental controls on slow-moving landslides: Insights from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake [PDF]
Engineering GeologyEarthquakes can initiate slow-moving landslides and cause them to transition into rapid failures. Although observations are limited, the literature suggests that strong earthquakes are more likely to trigger nearby failures, while smaller earthquakes may

Slow earthquakes and great earthquakes along the Nankai trough
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2002Abstract We have reexamined reports indicating that slow deformation occurred before the great Japan earthquakes of 1944 (Tonankai) and 1946 (Nankaido) and find that the observations are well founded. Although no quantitative models have previously been proposed to explain all of the relevant data we show that they are satisfied by a simple model for

Slow Earthquakes Coincident with Episodic Tremors and Slow Slip Events
Science, 2007We report on the very-low-frequency earthquakes occurring in the transition zone of the subducting plate interface along the Nankai subduction zone in southwest Japan. Seismic waves generated by very-low-frequency earthquakes with seismic moment magnitudes of 3.1 to 3.5 predominantly show a long period of about 20 seconds.

Towards Slow Earthquakes Forecasting
2020<p>Slow Slip Events (SSEs) are episodic slip events that play a significant role in the moment budget along subduction megathrust. They share many similarities with regular earthquakes, and have been observed in major subduction regions like, for example, Cascadia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand.

A Brownian walk model for slow earthquakes [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 Along some subduction plate boundaries, slow deformation is observable as seismically detected deep low‐frequency tremor and geodetically detected slow slip events. These phenomena are considered as different manifestations of slow earthquakes characterized by fairly constant seismic moment rate.

Slow earthquakes and stress redistribution
Nature, 1978Strainmeters with high sensitivity over long periods have enabled the detection and identification of slow earthquakes: seismic events which produce records similar to those from normal earthquakes except that the time scale for the rupture process is considerably longer.

SEISMOLOGYTheoretical and lab studies have suggested that faults should give off warning signs as they edge toward rupture, but no one has yet found what they are. Now, researchers using a seemingly roundabout method--testing for the effects of tides on quake timing--offer the strongest evidence yet that some faults do start to slip, rapidly ...

Geophysics The Japan Trench is responsible for disastrous megathrust earthquakes like the 2011 Tohoku-Oki quake. Nishikawa et al. used new observations from the S-net ocean-bottom seismic network to map slow earthquakes—disturbances that do not cause ground shaking—along the Japan Trench (see the Perspective by Houston).
