In the New Madrid seismic zone, the team found that motion along the faults that are currently active has been occurring over many millions of years.

In this study, Tramelli and her colleagues used the recorded waveforms from the 2012 Emilia seismic sequence to simulate a seismic sequence that triggered end - to - end earthquakes along adjacent fault patches, observing the affect of continuous ruptures on the resulting ground motion and, consequently, its impact on critical structures, such as dams, power plants, hospitals and bridges.

«This motion includes a component of slip along the fault and a component of normal motion against the fault that creates mountains.

Most typical earthquakes happen along faults that have built - in brakes: motion stops once the stress is relieved between the two chunks of earth that are trying to move past each other.
