Evidence for earthquake triggering stress

Earthquake time series are constructed by making counts per unit time of earthquakes with magnitudes greater than a chosen threshold. The time series from widely separated regions show strong correlations with one another, and it is suggested that tectonic plates are subjected to a fluctuating stres...

Zusammenfassung:Earthquake time series are constructed by making counts per unit time of earthquakes with magnitudes greater than a chosen threshold. The time series from widely separated regions show strong correlations with one another, and it is suggested that tectonic plates are subjected to a fluctuating stress field that results in these changes in seismic activity.
