This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Earthquake prediction remains a challenging and difficult task for scientists all over the
world. The tidal triggering of earthquakes is being proven by an increasing number of …

В монографии приведены результаты многолетних исследований закономерностей
деформирования нарушений сплошности массивов горных пород. На основе …

В статье проведен обзор актуальных публикаций, посвященных процессу зарождения
и эволюции процессов скольжения по разломам земной коры. Рассмотрены различные …

Tectonic faults slip in a wide range of modes that span from slow slip events to dynamic
rupture. A growing body of observations document this spectrum of failure modes in many …

We conduct meter-scale rock friction experiments to study strain rate effect on fault slip and
rupture evolution. Two rock samples made of Indian metagabbro, with a nominal contact …

Random chance—is nothing. Random chance does not exist. We call in such a way the
event, the reason of which we do not understand. Nothing can happen without reason or …

祁连—海原断裂带是青藏高原东北缘的边界断裂带, 调节着青藏高原北东向的推挤和阿拉善地块
的东向运动. 前人动力学模拟指出, 该断层有效摩擦系数可低至0.05, 远小于通常在库仑应力计算 …

Recent studies have suggested that tidal triggering may preferentially occur when a region
is critically stressed, and that tidal stresses provide a potential tool for forecasting …

Global tectonic activities are playing an important role in the occurrences of devastating
earthquakes and related long-term changes in the earth's system surface. However, the …
