Sentence examples for generate earthquake from inspiring English sources

Therefore, the coupling at the interface between the inland plate and the PHS is not sufficient to create stress to generate earthquake activity in Kyushu, as pointed out in central Japan by Townend and Zoback (2006).

The water creates pressure and eventually ruptures that generate earthquakes.

As plates pull apart, crash together, slide past each other, they fuel volcanoes, generate earthquakes and push up mountains.

These areas are often associated with high seismicity, as stresses that build up in the sliding crustal slabs are released at intervals to generate earthquakes.

Furthermore, historical seismicity records prove that the faults developing these grabens generate earthquakes from moderate to large sizes (Table 1).

In order to generate earthquakes at such great depths, shear stress must exceed that very large frictional strength.

At yet greater depths the megathrust slides stably or with episodic slow slip or by with plastic deformation that does not generate earthquakes.

This also indicates that the pore pressure in the Wakayama region should be very high because otherwise it is impossible to generate earthquakes in such complicated stress distribution.

According to Wood et al. [20], the faults around the island of Puerto Rico can generate earthquakes with maximum magnitudes ranging between M 7.0 to M 7.5.

These findings are consistent with the expectation that the colder Philippine Sea slab under Kanto and Kyushu is able to generate earthquakes at greater depths.

The Off Boso segment of the Japan Trench is of particular interest given its proximity to Tokyo and its as yet unproven potential to generate earthquakes larger than magnitude 8.
