Clock advance and magnitude limitation through fault interaction: the case of the 2016 central Italy earthquake sequence
Abstract Faults communicate with each other. Strong earthquakes perturb stress over large volumes modifying the load on nearby faults and their resistance to slip. The causative fault induces permanent or transient perturbations that can change the time to the next seismic rupture with respect to th...
