More Stuff About Earthquakes. Faults Any stress on the plates can cause an earthquake if the elastic limit is reached. Each type of stress results in.
Earth Science With Mr. Thomas. ► Definition: -A shaking of Earth’s crust caused by a release of energy. -The energy released is from stress that builds.
STRESS – The amount of force exerted on a material.

Major Activities Construction of a Virtual Earth (current focus on the 3D geometry of the Indonesian slab and the geodynamics of the Great Sumatran earthquake) 3D tectonic reconstruction - Pplates Using SNARK to simulate crustal deformation associated with shear zones, and 3D slab roll-back

Not the final result - a work in progress 3D reconstruction - gOcad model of the Tethyan slab beneath Indonesia

3D visualization of slab geometry

Using gOcad to look in 3D at elongate octagons in the conjugate fault planes generated using data from the Harvard CMT database

Structural analysis of data from the Harvard Centroid Moment Tensor Database (252 quakes since ) The analysis program will be available through ACcESS
