Temporal stress changes caused by earthquakes: A review

JL Hardebeck, T Okada - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Earthquakes can change the stress field in the Earth's lithosphere as they relieve and
redistribute stress. Earthquake‐induced stress changes have been observed as temporal …

Megathrust shear force controls mountain height at convergent plate margins

A Dielforder, R Hetzel, O Oncken - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The shear force along convergent plate boundary faults (megathrusts) determines the height
of mountain ranges that can be mechanically sustained,,–. However, whether the true height …
