Scientists Uncover New Hidden Process That May Explain Earthquake Triggers
A new study has revealed a hidden mechanism that could explain how creeping stress along tectonic plates can lead to catastrophic earthquakes. The research, involving laboratory experiments with plexiglass, found that slow, aseismic movements at fault lines can build up energy. Once a critical point is reached, the energy is released suddenly, trig...
