Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Slow earthquakes have gained importance due to their proximity to the focal regions of megathrust earthquakes. Among slow earthquakes, tectonic tremors have the highest dominant frequency and are thus best resolved.

Depth and Thickness of Tectonic Tremor in the Northeastern Olympic Peninsula
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022 AbstractTectonic tremor has been explained as a swarm of low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which are located on a narrow fault at the plate boundary. However, due to the lack of clear impulsive phases in the tremor signal, it is difficult to determine the depth of the tremor source with great precision.

Tidal Response in Shallow Tectonic Tremors [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractVarious types of slow earthquakes (e.g., tectonic tremors and slow slip events) have been reported in tectonic zones, especially in the subduction zone. The tidal response of a tremor is considered to be strongly related to the weak friction state of the plate interface, and many studies have reported observational evidence of such correlation ...

Tectonic tremor as friction-induced inertial vibration
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021 Abstract Slow slip events are often accompanied by tremor but how tremor is generated is yet elusive. In this study, we test the possibility that it is an inertial vibration. In the case of a single-degree-of-freedom spring and slider system with mass per unit area M, governed by rate-and-state friction with effective normal stress σ ...

Variations in the Characteristic Amplitude of Tectonic Tremor Induced by Long-Term Slow Slip Events
, 2021 Long-term slow slip events (L-SSEs) often excite short-term slow slips events (S-SSEs) and tectonic tremor in the zone of episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Tidal Modulation and Tectonic Implications of Tremors in Taiwan [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractWe present results from 6 years of tremor observations in a continental subduction zone where the continental crust of Eurasia is colliding with the Philippine Sea Plate, forming a collisional orogen. During 2007–2012, 1,893 tremor events with durations ranging from 60 to 2,216 s were identified and located.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Slip phenomena on plate interfaces reflect the heterogeneous physical properties of the slip plane and, thus, exhibit a wide variety of slip velocities and rupture propagation behaviors.

Chemical origin of tectonic tremor [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2019 Tectonic tremor may ultimately be caused by in situ fluid overpressure generated by chemical reactions between a subducting slab and the mantle, according to field and microstructural observations of a shear zone.

San Andreas Fault tremor and retrograde metamorphism [PDF]
, 2011 [1] Tectonic tremor is an enigmatic low-frequency seismic phenomenon mainly observed in subduction zones, but also documented along the deep extension of the central San Andreas Fault. The physical mechanisms behind this unusual seismic event are not yet

Probing the nature of low-frequency earthquakes through the deconvolution of tectonic tremor
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2023 Currently there are two end-member views of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs). One is that they result from stick-slip behavior of Mxed brittle patches that are mechanically distinct from the surrounding, creeping, fault. The other is that they represent the high-frequency limit of stochastic accelerations and decelerations of slip on the fault, with ...
