Our early understanding of the earthquake phenomenon was a type of stick-slip motion, where the fault is loaded by tectonic forces for an extended period, followed by rapid failure. Extensive seismic and geodetic monitoring of subduction zones has revealed a much more varied seismic behavior, where episodic fault slip can occur at any slip velocity between the background loading rate, of the order of a few atoms per second, and the fast seismic range, about a meter per second. Events that fill the gap between slow creep and fast ruptures include a host of slow earthquakes. Subduction zones therefore provide a natural laboratory to better understand the physics of earthquakes and faulting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreviously published in \u003ci\u003ePure and Applied Geophysics\u003c\/i\u003e, Volume 176, Issue 9, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters \"Interseismic Coupling and Slow Slip Events on the Cascadia Megathrust\", \"Effect of Slip-Weakening Distance on Seismic-Aseismic Slip Patterns\", \"Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry\", and \"A Secondary Zone of Uplift Due to Megathrust Earthquakes\" are available as open access articles under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279986319511,"sku":"9783030435714","price":4774.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030435714.webp?v=1769295070","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/physics-of-megathrust-earthquakes-9783030435714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
