Abstract
The broad framework of plate tectonics explains how the elastic strain accumulated within the continental interiors is released by moderate to large earthquakes (Richardson et al.,.Journal of Geophysics Research 81:1847–1856, 1976). It is now widely known that over time, the tectonic processes build up stresses on faults because of steady plate motions, and that eventually, when the frictional strength of faults is exceeded, they are released in the form of earthquakes (Scholtz,.Annual Review Earth and Planet Science 17:309–334, 1989).
