CONNECTING NEAR-FIELD AND FAR-FIELD EARTHQUAKE TRIGGERING TO DYNAMIC STRAIN (2010)

Any earthquake can trigger more earthquakes. This triggering occurs in both the classical aftershock zone as well as the far field. These populations of triggered earthquakes may or may not be distinct in terms of triggering mechanism. Here we look for a distinction between the populations by examining how the observed intensityof triggering scales with the amplitude of the triggering strain in each.
