Why Some Earthquakes Result in Faster Shaking : A Tabletop Fault Model

The more time it takes for an earthquake fault to heal, the faster the shake it will produce when it finally ruptures, according to a new study by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, who conducted their work using a tabletop model of a quake fault. “The high frequency waves of an earthquake — […]
