Sentence examples for rupture extent from inspiring English sources

Fig. 1 Surface rupture extent associated with major earthquakes along NAF.

The effects of rupture time and rupture extent of pit cover and diffusion of hydrogen ions on current transients under stress and no stress are analyzed.

Hence, even though the sources of these two events cannot be far from Kathmandu, the determination of a rupture extent requires paleoseismological evidence.

As shown by Ishii et al. (2005), the back-projection can image the rupture extent, duration and speed of large earthquakes.

Following the 1994 Liwa earthquake, which appears to have been limited in rupture extent by the Suoh stepover, there was sudden increase in geothermal activity as well as several phreatic eruptions (Natawidjaja 1994; Widiwijayanti et al. 1996).

For the distance between the rupture extent and the hypocenter (1,380 km) with the rupture duration (500 s), we obtained an average rupture velocity of approximately 2.8 km/s.

Rupture extents are consistent with limited macroseismic historical evidence and growing paleoseismological/morphotectonic data, as summarized in the text.

For the current sequence of reliable Nankai Trough earthquakes, there have been large variations in the magnitudes (M w = 8.0 8.7) and recurrence intervals (90 262 years) of successive Nankai Trough earthquakes, with different rupture extents along the Nankai Trough.

The consistency between the geomorphic rupture length and the meizoseismal extent of the 1934 earthquake (Sapkota et al., 2013) (Fig. 1) warrants a broader historical comparison between paleo-rupture extents, macroseismic source sizes, coseismic slip estimates, and likely positions of rupture termini or asperities.

When the rupture reaches the updip extent, it transitions into a bilateral rupture where the updip energy remains but with energy starting to propagate downdip (Fig. 2).

An accurate and detailed hypocenter distribution map is important basic seismological information for understanding the nature of earthquakes, establishing, for example, the area of the mainshock rupture by estimating the extent of aftershocks in the first day.
