Recurrence of seismic migrations along the central California segment of the San Andreas fault system
M.D. Wood, S.S. Allen
1973, Nature (244) 213-215
VERIFICATIONS of tectonic concepts1 concerning seafloor spreading are emerging in a manner that has direct bearing on earthquake prediction. Although the gross pattern of worldwide seismicity contributed to the formulation of the plate tectonic hypothesis, it is the space-time characteristics of this seismicity that may contribute more...
