Scientists have directly observed a slow slip earthquake off Japan's coast using seafloor sensors, providing new insights into how tectonic stress is gradually released along faults, potentially acting as a natural buffer to larger earthquakes, and highlighting the role of high fluid pressure in triggering such events.
Scientists have discovered rare slow-slip earthquakes beneath Japan's Nankai Trough using advanced borehole observatories, revealing insights into fault behavior and fluid pressure's role in earthquake dynamics, which could improve tsunami prediction and early warning systems.
Scientists have detected rare slow-motion earthquakes along Japan's Nankai Trough using seabed borehole observatories, revealing that fluid pressure and slow slip events may influence tsunami risk and earthquake behavior, with implications for monitoring other fault zones like Cascadia.
Researchers captured the world's first detailed observation of a slow-motion earthquake off Japan's coast, revealing how such events release tectonic pressure gradually over weeks, acting as natural shock absorbers and providing insights into earthquake and tsunami risks.
