Rougher faults may generate more earthquake aftershocks
When an earthquake hits, it is rarely an isolated event. Foreshocks precede quakes, and aftershocks follow them. To quantify seismic hazards, scientists must disentangle the factors that contribute to these shaking sequences......»»
Cells found to move differently in groups than they do when alone
