Temporal variation of large intraplate earthquakes in coupled subduction zones
The focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes within subducting lithosphere are frequently used to infer large-scale stress regimes induced by slab-pull, bending or unbending, and lateral segmentation and undulations of the slab . Numerous studies have further postulated that the intraplate activity is influenced by transitory regional stress regimes such as those associated with interplate th...
متن کاملIntraplate Triggered Earthquakes: Observations and Interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811–1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might have occ...
متن کاملSTATISTICAL PREDICTION OF THE SEQUENCE OF LARGE EARTHQUAKES IN IRAN
The use of different probability distributions as described by the Exponential, Pareto, Lognormal, Rayleigh, and Gama probability functions applied to estimation the time of the next great earthquake (Ms≥6.0) in different seismotectonic provinces of Iran. This prediction is based on the information about past earthquake occurrences in the given region and the basic assumption that future seismi...
متن کاملFlexure of the Indian Plate and Intraplate Earthquakes
The flexural bulge in central India resulting from India's collision with Tibet has a wavelength of approximately 670 km. It is manifest topographically and in the freeair gravity anomaly and the geoid. Calculations of the stress distribution within a flexed Indian plate reveal spatial variations throughout the depth of the plate and also a function of distnace from the Himalaya. The wavelength...
