Stress drops and radiated energies of aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake
[1] We study stress levels and radiated energy to infer the rupture characteristics and scaling relationships of aftershocks and other southern California earthquakes. We use empirical Green functions to obtain source time functions for 47 of the larger (M 4.0) aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake (M6.7). We estimate static and dynamic stress drops from the source time func...
متن کاملRenormalization of earthquake aftershocks
Assume that each earthquake can produce a series of aftershock independently of its size according to its “local” Omori’s law with exponent 1+θ. Each aftershock can itself trigger other aftershocks and so on. The global observable Omori’s law is found to have two distinct power law regimes, the first one with exponent p− = 1− θ for time t < t ∗ ∼ κ−1/θ, where 0 < 1−κ < 1 measures the fraction o...
متن کاملStress Loading From Viscous Flow in the Lower Crust and Triggering of Aftershocks Following the 1994 Northridge, California, Earthquake
Following the M•o 6.7 Northridge earthquake, significant postseismic displacements were resolved with GPS. Using a three-dimensional viscoelastic model, we suggest that this deformation is mainly driven by viscous flow in the lower crust. Such flow can transfer stress to the upper crust and load the rupture zone of the main shock at a decaying rate. Most aftershocks within the rupture zone, esp...
متن کاملComputational Earthquake and Tsunami Research
U nderstanding and mitigating the effects of disasters requires the integration of research and practice in multiple science, engineering, technology, and social science fields to create a world that’s more resilient in terms of public safety, economic strength, and collective welfare. The January/February 2011 issue of CiSE explored hurricane prediction.1 Hurricanes are one of many natural dis...
متن کاملThe 2011 Tohoku earthquake and devastating tsunami.
At 14:46 on March 11, 2011, the magnitude-9.0 earthquake attacked Sendai and neighboring cities distributed along the northeast coast of Honshu Island, Japan. Its epicenter is located 130 km east of Sendai (Fig. 1). Unfortunate ly, the strong earthquake generated devastating tsunamis that destroyed many towns and villages near the seashore in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures. The natura...
