3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the stick phase in stick-slip behavior?
Think about how energy builds up before being released.
What happens in the slip phase?
What occurs when pressure overcomes resistance?
What phase describes the accumulation of elastic strain in rocks?
Remember the analogy of energy building up before being released.
True or False: Locked faults release energy gradually without significant earthquakes.
Focus on what happens during a lock versus creep scenario.
A locked fault accumulates 500 units of strain before slipping. Calculate the energy released during the subsequent earthquake if 1 unit of strain equates to 2 units of energy.
Use the relation between strain and energy for your calculations.
If a creeping fault is experiencing continuous movement releasing energy at a rate of 10 units per year, how much energy will be released over 15 years?
Consider this as a simple multiplication of the energy release rate.
