A simple theory of earthquakes according to quantum mechanics
Abstract : Major earthquakes occur mainly on subduction plate boundaries, but what causes the along strike earthquake segmentation remains poorly understood.
Tectonics and GeodynamicsSome of that stress build-up is released through continuous plate movement, but remaining stress can accumulate over time and cause large events. The role of the Investigator Fracture Zone in the Sumatra subduction ...When the fOrce becomes too,great, the rodks move dgainst each other:causing an earthquake. Different types of. movement of adjacent plates may occur. Plate ... Earthquakes... Plates slide past each other horizontally (e.g., San Andreas Fault). These boundaries can generate powerful earthquakes due to the friction between plates.
