Our early understanding of the earthquake phenomenon was a type of stick-slip motion, where the fault is loaded by tectonic forces for an extended period, followed by rapid failure. Extensive seismic and geodetic monitoring of subduction zones has revealed a much more varied seismic behavior, where episodic fault slip can occur at any slip velocity between the background loading rate, of the order of a few atoms per second, and the fast seismic range, about a meter per second. Events that fill the gap between slow creep and fast ruptures include a host of slow earthquakes.Subduction zones therefore provide a natural laboratory to better understand the physics of earthquakes and faulting. \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                  \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        Previously published in \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003ePure and Applied Geophysics\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                        , Volume 176, Issue 9, 2019\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        The chapters “Interseismic Coupling and Slow Slip Events on the Cascadia Megathrust”, “Effect of Slip-Weakening Distance on Seismic–Aseismic Slip Patterns”, “Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry”, and “A Secondary Zone of Uplift Due to Megathrust Earthquakes” are available as open access articles under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com  \n                    \n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                                    \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030435714\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783030435714","offer_id":39424634552413,"sku":"9783030435714","price":69.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/157433ca-463f-46b5-9f56-5b4ada359147.jpg?v=1737784285","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/physics-of-megathrust-earthquakes-von-sylvain-barbot-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
