Mud volcanism, or sedimentary volcanism, represents one of the most intriguing phenomena
of the Earth's crust, with important implications in energy resource exploration, seismicity …

Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon
with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position …

The possibility that tidal stress can trigger earthquakes is long debated,,,,,. In particular, a
clear causal relationship between small earthquakes and the phase of tidal stress is …

The strong tidal triggering of mid-ocean ridge earthquakes has remained unexplained
because the earthquakes occur preferentially during low tide, when normal faulting …

The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely
clarified. Lithospheric volumes recycled at subduction zones or emerging at rift zones testify …

I observe highly significant tidal triggering of earthquakes prior to the 2011 Mw 9.1 Tohoku‐
Oki earthquake. Strong statistical correlations between tidally‐induced stresses and …

Rock domes, with their onion-skin layers of exfoliation sheets, are among the most
captivating landforms on Earth. Long recognized as integral in shaping domes, the exact …

While mantle convection is a fundamental ingredient of geodynamics, the driving
mechanism of plate tectonics remains elusive. Are plates driven only from the thermal …

Earth's crust is continuously subjected to oscillatory stress perturbations due to the solid
Earth and ocean tides. The seismic response to such stress modulations carries information …

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 …
