Evidence from coseismic slip gradients for dynamic control on rupture propagation and arrest through stepovers

Analysis of historic slip distributions from large‐magnitude continental strike‐slip earthquake ruptures reveals a pronounced correlation between the distance over which slip decreases as a rupture approaches a structural “step” in the fault and the ability of the rupture to propagate through the st...
