New insight into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis has been revealed through groundbreaking research.2024-05-20T15:36+0200scitechdaily-7481d8f4fcde778dcffe374d8515cdbd20240520153600https://www.miragenews.com/splay-faults-raise-hazard-levels-in-subduction-1238632/Groundbreaking research has provided new insight into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth's largest earthquakes and tsunamis. "This is the first study to employ coastal geology to reconstruct the rupture history of the splay fault system," said Jessica DePaolis, postdoctoral fellow in Virginia Tech's Department of Geosciences .2024-05-20T15:05+0200miragenews-c518f8f217cc532235d153b4d9b043c620240520150500https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1045046Credit: Photo courtesy of Peter Haeussler.
