Scientists from the University of Texas captured a rare slow-motion earthquake along Japan's Nankai Fault using advanced borehole sensors, revealing that parts of the fault act like shock absorbers and that fluids play a key role in these events. This discovery enhances understanding of tectonic processes, potentially improving earthquake prediction and safety measures.
