aseismic

It is worth mentioning, though, that there are no aseismic regions in the world.

Aseismic creep, a slow steady movement along an earthquake fault.

The building was abandoned due to structural damage caused by aseismic creep.

While most of the fault is locked, certain segments have been shown to move by aseismic creep.

Further down-dip, there is a transition from fully locked to aseismic sliding.

This is commonly seen in asphalt roads subject to shear stress imposed by aseismic fault creep.

It has been suggested that such sediments are characteristic of aseismic continental shelves as they move away from a mid-oceanic ridge.

Aseismic building block.

The Gulf is considered aseismic; however, mild tremors have been recorded throughout history (usually 5.0 or less on the Richter scale).

It has been hypothesized that aseismic creep at Hollister is also due to the presence of Serpentinite.

Hollister is well-known among geologists because it portrays one of the best examples of aseismic creep anywhere in the world.

In geology, aseismic creep is measurable surface displacement along a fault in the absence of notable earthquakes.

Magma intrusion was essentially aseismic; several earthquake sequences occurred between February and May 1991, but the sources were deep (7-20km).

This deepest part of the rupture zone, about 40 km, is interpreted to represent the depth of transition to aseismic creep on the plate interface.

The aseismic back-arc extension as in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc.

The Java-Bali segment of the megathrust does not appear to be associated with great earthquakes, possibly due to mainly aseismic slip.

It is one of two major aseismic ridges in the Bay of Bengal, the other being the Ninety East Ridge.

There is also significant aseismic creep along the Hayward fault in and north of Hayward, California, but this is insufficient to prevent a substantial earthquake.

When not erupting Hekla is often covered with snow and small glaciers, it is also unusually aseismic with activity only starting 30-80 minutes before an eruption.

In a 2000 report, the ASN mandated the closure of six installations at Cadarache that did not meet aseismic construction standards.

The southern segment of the Peruvian part of this plate boundary is affected by the presence of the Nazca aseismic ridge, on the downgoing plate.

The Eighty Five East Ridge or 85 E Ridge is a near-linear, aseismic, age-progressive ridge in the northeastern Indian Ocean.

The Carnegie Ridge is an aseismic ridge on the Nazca Plate that is being subducted beneath the South American Plate.

Chapter Ten: The catastrophic earthquake that struck Maharashtra early in the morning of September 30, 1993, came as something of a surprise given that the region had previously been considered aseismic.

There is a bridge across the creek with piers on either side that have shifted more than five feet relative to one another due to aseismic creep since the bridge was constructed in 1936.
