Cascading rupture of patches of high seismic energy release controls the growth process of episodic tremor and slip events

Abstract Slip phenomena on plate interfaces reflect the heterogeneous physical properties of the slip plane and, thus, exhibit a wide variety of slip velocities and rupture propagation behaviors. Recent findings on slow earthquakes reveal similarities and differences between slow and regular earthqu...
