Earthquake recurrence intervals are commonly used to predict the timescales of future earthquakes1,2,3.
However, no studies have quantitatively discussed the timescales of quartz vein formation and earthquake recurrence intervals within subduction zones.
When combined with buyouts of unprotected structures, levee setbacks reduced flood losses for all recurrence intervals.
Furthermore, canyon-flushing and canyon-filling have very different statistical distributions of recurrence intervals.
Recurrence intervals are averages, and averages are tricky: ten is the average of nine and eleven, but also of eighteen and two.
The annual maximum flood magnitudes were classified into seven categories according to their specific recurrence intervals (T).
The recurrence intervals of subduction thrust earthquakes39,40,41,42 are generally shorter than those of inland earthquakes43,44,45,46.
We conclude that silica precipitation generates subcritical conditions for earthquakes (i.e., lower porosity, lower permeability, higher fluid pressure) and thus controls earthquake recurrence intervals in seismogenic zones.
However, there is no consensus on the recurrence intervals of earthquakes on splay/megasplay faults around the Nobeoka Thrust or those of megathrust earthquakes along the Nankai Trough.
The outcomes showed that the model performed responsively to simulate the storm runoffs at varying recurrence intervals under these scenarios.
Multiple radiocarbon dates <16 ka cal BP reveal the recurrence intervals of these movements of over several thousand years.
