The recent elevated rate of large earthquakes has fueled concern that the underlying global rate of earthquake activity has increased, which would have important implications for assessments of seismic hazard and our understanding of how faults interact. We ...

<p>In this paper is observed a correlation between the Earth tide and earthquake occurrence that is closely related to the regional tectonic stress. It is investigated the direction of the tidal compressional stress using shallow earthquakes occurring in 100 ...
