Slow earthquake in Afghanistan detected by InSAR [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
The Chaman fault system forms a prominent ∼900‐km‐long left‐lateral transform plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here we show satellite radar interferometry data that revealed an afterslip (or slow earthquake) signal following an earthquake of magnitude 5.0.

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes. The empirical moment-duration scaling relation can help constrain the physical mechanism of slow slip events, yet it is still debated whether this scaling is linear or cubic and a ...

Deep long period volcanic earthquakes generated by degassing of volatile-rich basaltic magmas

Nature Communications, 2020
The origin of deep long-period earthquakes beneath active volcanoes that are sometimes considered as precursors to eruptions remains not fully understood. Here the authors show that these earthquakes can be generated by the rapid degassing in response to

Slow Stick‐Slip Failure in Halite Gouge Caused by Brittle‐Plastic Fault Heterogeneity

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Slow earthquakes, including low‐frequency earthquakes and tremor, occur in the brittle‐ductile (plastic) transition zone on plate boundary faults. To understand how transitions in deformation mechanisms can influence seismic behavior, we conducted stick ...

Link Between Geometrical and Physical Property Changes Along Nankai Trough With Slow Earthquake Activity Revealed by Dense Reflection Survey

Geophysical Research Letters
We examined the possible factors affecting the spatial distribution of very low frequency earthquakes and tremors in the shallow megathrust of Nankai Trough (

Co‐Occurrence of Low and Very Low Frequency Earthquakes Explained From Dynamic Modeling

Geophysical Research Letters
Very low‐frequency earthquakes (VLFs) are characterized by longer source duration and smaller stress drop than regular earthquakes of similar magnitude. Recent studies have shown their frequent correlation with low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs) on shared ...

The complementary distribution of coseismic and slow-moving landslides along the transition between the Qinghai-Xizang plateau and Sichuan basin

Geodesy and Geodynamics
Landslides accompanying earthquakes are essential in landscape evolution along active fault zones. However, most studies focus on the rapid, catastrophic coseismic landslides with surface scars; the role of slow-moving landslides and their relation with ...

Unraveling the Origin of Slow Earthquakes

Eos, 2019
Different nucleation styles detected in five slow-slip events in the same area of Japan’s Ryukyu subduction zone suggest the physical properties along this tectonic plate interface change over time.
