accommodate relative plate motions. Faults were previously thought to relieve stress either …

Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor

GC Beroza, S Ide - Annual review of Earth and planetary …, 2011‏ - annualreviews.org
Nonvolcanic tremor is observed in close association with geodetically observed slow-slip
events in subduction zones. Accumulating evidence points to these events as members of a …
