Small intermediate fault segments can either aid or hinder rupture propagation at stepovers

Large‐scale geometrical complexities along faults are known to be likely endpoints for coseismic rupture, as suggested by analysis of historic ruptures and corroborated by models of rupture on bent or discontinuous faults. However, natural faults also include smaller‐scale complexities. We use the 3...
