Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.
Earthquakes occur when the rock on one side of a fault slips relative to the other. The fault surface can be vertical, ...
By applying thermoluminescence dating to newly formed dolomite minerals in fault structures, the team determined that tectonic activity in the region began approximately 2.7 million years ago.
A University of Michigan study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter for the generation of earthquakes.
By applying thermoluminescence dating to newly formed dolomite minerals in fault structures, the team determined that tectonic activity in the region began approximately 2.7 million years ago.
