A slow earthquake sequence on the San Andreas fault

A slow earthquake sequence on the San Andreas fault

In Dec 1992, two borehole strainmeters close to the San Andreas fault in California recorded a slow strain event of about a week in duration. The strain changes were produced by a slow earthquake sequence with complexity similar to that of regular earthquakes.
