Earthquakes, Dynamic Triggering of

  • Reference work entry
Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science

Definition of the Subject

Geoscientists have long sought understanding of how earthquakes interact. Can earthquakes trigger other earthquakes? The answer is clearly yes overshort time and distance scales, as in the case of mainshock – aftershock sequences. Over increasing time and distance scales however, thisquestion becomes more difficult to answer. The study of dynamically triggered earthquakes explores the most distant boundaries over which earthquakestrigger other earthquakes.

Dynamic triggering e to temporary and oscillatory fluctuations in the stress/strain regime ina volume of the Earth's crust. Dynamic stress fluctuations are associated with ground shaking resulting from either anthropogenic activities ornatural sources. Dynamic triggering occurs as seismic waves from an initial earthquake propagate through the Earth's crust, triggering secondaryearthquakes. Once the seismic wave train has passed and ground...
