Not exact matches

The time history of quasi-static slip along the plate interface, based on small repeating earthquakes that were part of the migrating seismicity, suggests that two sequences involved slow - slip transients propagating toward the initial rupture point.

The January quake was the result of a new rupture that allowed the plate to stretch and thin to compensate (Nature, vol 451, p 561; and see diagram).

«This was an event the thrust interface of the plate boundary system, confirming that there is a subduction system in the Haida Gwaii area,» said Honn Kao, seismologist with the Geological Survey of Canada, who, along with his colleagues, examined the source parameters — causative faults, rupture processes and depths — of the mainshock and sequence of strong aftershocks.

The aftershocks clustered around the periphery of the rupture zone, both on the seaward and landward side of the plate boundary and reflected normal faulting behavior — caused by the bending, extending or stretching of rock — rather than the thrust faulting of the mainshock.

Other recent large plate boundary ruptures bound the possible rupture area of the April 1 event, including the 2001 M 8.4 Peru earthquake adjacent to the south coast of Peru to the north, and the 2007 M 7.7 Tocopilla, Chile and 1995 M 8.1 Antofagasta, Chile earthquakes to the south.

Seismologist Kevin McCue, who runs a company called the Australian Seismological Centre in Canberra, says this plate boundary «doesn't seem to have been activated by the Sendai rupture».

The ruptured fault is not along the tectonic plate boundaries where major quakes are expected.

He also worries that today's quake might increase stress on the plate boundaries, where a rupture could produce a magnitude - 8 earthquake.

This work presents a conceptual model in which strain is released by temporally clustered great - earthquakes that rupture faults within the upper - plate as opposed to the zone where the tectonic plates meet (plate - interface).

To find out how such a large slip — greater than 50 metres in places — happened, seismologists on board Japan's deep - sea research vessel Chikyu drilled boreholes nearly 850 metres deep into the seabed around the plate boundary that ruptured in 2011.

In a 2006 paper in Science, researchers — including David Robinson, then a seismologist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom — noted that the June 2001 in Peru quake ruptured only 400 km of the 1000 - km - long seismic gap, leaving 600 km of the plate boundary largely locked.

In both subduction zones, the converging plates are thought to be accumulating strain which could be released in a very large and violent rupture.

Much of the rupture was along a region with very limited plate convergence.

But this rupture began 70 kilometers down, within the Cocos plate itself, and rose up before stopping at about 40 kilometers» depth, likely at the plate interface.

These forces do not simply move the plates around, they can also cause plates to rupture, forming a rift and potentially leading to the creation of new plate boundaries.

Very large and giant breed dogs spayed or neutered prior to growth plate closure may develop longer, straighter back legs that can predispose them to athletic injuries like cruciate rupture.

In Los Angeles painter Mark Grotjahn's suave strokes of frozen color, «bands and chevrons jostle for control of the surface plane like fractured tectonic plates poised to rupture...» according to essayist Gary Garrels.
